GENEVA, Nov. 23.—(By U. P.)—
Selection of a power to negotiate
with Turkish leaders to "save Ar-
menia" still was before the league of
nations today.
ten men who bold the financial bal-
ance of power not only of the United
States, but of the world, In their
hands, got together for an after-
noon's discussion, and decided that
they did not have to worry over the
present financial situation.
This little group of men forms the
board of dlrsctorH of the Foreign Fi-
nance corporation, formed some
months ago by the house of J. P.
Morgan. They are Thomas Lamont,
Dwight W. Morrow and Thomas
Cochran of J. P. Morgan; Albert IL
Wiggins, chairman of the governing
board of the ( base National bank;
James Btlllman, president of the Na-
tional City bank; Seward Prosser.
president of the Hankers' Trust Com-
pany; Charles H. Sabln, president
of the Guaranty Trust Company;
George F. Baker Jr.. vice president
of the First National bank; Gates
W. McGarrah. president of the Me-
chanics and Merchants National
bank, and Harvey Gibson, president
of the Liberty National bank.
Chief among the reasons given by
the bankers for their confidence in
the future was tho fact that there
will be a "sane administration of
public affairs for tbe next four
years," and that "the accumulated
surplus of five years of splendid
prosperity Is stored In many ways
for our commercial use." The mar-
kets of tho world are demanding
products at American prices, and
there is a merchant marine now to
transport these products, the bank-
ers said.
