...original Edward Riley Stettinius was a matchmaker (president of Diamond Match) from St. Louis who was picked by the House of Morgan to buy supplies for the Allies before the U. S. entered the War.

Besides using Edward Stettinius as liaison man with the tycoons, and Attorney General Cummings as a bear to chase industries from behind, General Johnson engaged Charles F. Horner of Kansas City to work up enthusiasm for co-operation with the Recovery Administration. During the War Mr. Horner helped organize the "Four-Minute" men for selling Liberty Bonds. Like his old, his new job is to select a Recovery Act symbol for display in store windows and on factory chimneys, to make propaganda for public support...
