Mellon Has Made Sentiment
It was .said of Edmund IJuiPo during his political careei
that "he caliied into tin; treatment oi public linance tin
same sense 01 fidelity and scrupulous desire to do the wist
thing that lie would have dispiayd in a question affecting
his personal fortune." .That same fidelity and scrupulous
desire was displayed in the financial policy of Secretin
of the Treasury Mellon as set forth by him in his recent
public statement.
j One would have to go I1"' back to find a letter, or state
ment, by a secretary of tin; treasury which made so pro
found an impression upon the country as that of Mr. Mel
Ion. It has stiued thought everyvvheie in a way almost
unparalleled.- It was met with wide and encouraging ap
proval but was forceful enough to. arouse o) position. 1
was inevitable that the public interest should be attractei
by bo firm and frank u presentation of sound financia.
Much of tlie oiiposition to the Mellon financial progran.
came from the politicians. They jesented it because it in
r terfcred with their personal plans and they were disturbec
by it because its issue Mas so timed as to rouse the publk
sentiment in advance of the meeting of congress. The poi
jticinns pioless to solicit the expression of public opinioi
but their selfish hypociii y is exposed when another, sucl
, 'as Secretary Mellon, creates a wave of public opinion ad
verse to their own pel projects.
What is the explanation of the extraordinary response
-". summoned forth by this announcement of national policy ;
Its contents were both striking and persuasive. The fact:
S; and arguments which it arrayed, were too conclusive U
She ignored. As a piece of financial reasoning the lette
was a model in its maishaling of the evidence and its caln
! '.'drawing of the proper inferences, lint this1, may be con
, ceded without levelling the real secret of the letter. Com
',' ' ing from any other man than Mr. Mellon it must havi
