Fund No Menace Says John D Rockefeller Jr
New York investiga tion into foundations questions if they would dominate churches schools or people. Rockefeller denied any such aim saying foundations seek only to improve conditions and could not engage in politics or propaganda. He favored a court of last resort veto power over foundation policies but saw no basis to circulate platforms or buy real estate. He noted unrest stems from unknown causes and that employers and workers do not face each other enough. He left after three days on the stand and received a $6 witness fee. Belle Zilberman greeted him at City Hall, saying she forgave him for her arrest.
