Rockefeller, son of John D. Rockefeller, has been appointed by President Roosevelt as co-ordinator of commercial and cultural relations among the American republics at a salary of a dollar a year. The founder of the family fortune made more than that even when a small boy. Probably the family will help with young Nelson's board bill and one thing and another. Really, though, it's fine, the way so many of our prominent American families and captains of industry and sons of captains, are entering the public service nowadays, because they want to help their country in a critical time.
This Mr. Rockefeller is a big business man in his own right, and is dropping his own enterprises and clearing the decks to give all his time to an important public job. It is a new field where he has a chance to create an important and permanent link with the other Americas. Our able citizens of the present generation turn easily and naturally to such services. Their fathers gave money; they give themselves! Mastering a Nation Here's an interesting bit of journalistic history.
Quote: "We have seen a young man of no name or family, an adventurer. a foreigner, who has fed upon the bread of public charity--we have seen him step forward, put his bit in the mouth of a furious nation, scourge it with his whip and goad it with his spurs. We have seen them, all as one man, become the tools of ambition, a mighty engine in his hands, that has been wielded by him hither and thither at his pleasure. Like the He Goat in the Prophet Daniel, that 'touched not the ground' as he went, we have seen this modern Alexander moving in his career of victory with astonishing rapidity, shaking the pillars of every government within his reach, and still adding nation after nation to his train of conquests. All this we have seen already, and what will be the next act in the drama, or what its catastrophe, Omniscience alone can foretell'.
No, friends, you're mistaken. It is not Adolf Hitler who is the subject of this eloquence. It is a tough hombre named Napoleon, who was operating in the same area 131 years ago, as described by the Connecticut Courant of that time. And those old-time journalists could write, couldn't they? P. that rampaging He Goat, you will recall, finally got "his" as the popular slang would say.
