his
Mobilized Non-Zionists
have failed in the attempt to be
the leader of the J. D. C. and
of the Jewish Agency. But War-
burg saw himself as a servant of
the Jewish people. And conse-
quently, he could put their inter-
ests above those of any one party
or group in Jewish life.
His most distinguished char-
acteristics both in personal and
organizational relationships were
kindliness and a sense of humor.
lie rarely appeared at mass meet-
ings. Ile was at his beat in small
and informal gatherings. More
than one major Jewish policy was
decided at a quiet meeting in his
White Plains home. One of the
rare occasions on which he spoke
at a Jewish mass gathering was
in 1930, when he took part in
the great Madison Square Gar-
den demonstration of protest
against the Passfield White Paper.
Other speakers outshone the man
with the solid, bald forehead and
heavy, arch-shaped mustache. But
when he spoke—slowly, deliber-
ately and with a sort of weari-
ness, as he always did—he com-
manded attention, then, as ever.
His kindliness is best exemplified
by an incident that occurred dur-
ing the only meeting of the Jew-
ish Agency administrative com-
mittee to have been held in Amer-
ica. The stenotypist recording the
speeches was taking down the ad-
dress of a member speaking In
German. She knew no German
and there was danger that the
record might be incomplete. Sa-
ting next to her was Warburg,
who, noting her distress, leaned
over and whispered softly a trans-
lation of every word of a half-
hour speech. Typical of his sense
of humor, which on many an oc-
casion cooled off heated adver-
saries in Jewish meetings, was his
public appearance as a drummer
on board an ocean liner when he
filled in for an ailing musician
for three nights and played the
drums and traps for the dancers.
Among the banking fraternity
they speak of 62 William Street,
the New York address of Kuhn,
Loeb and Company, in the some
way that others refer to Ten
Downing Street when they mean
the British Government. For
Felix 111. Warburg 62 William
Street was the place where every
social worker who amounted to
anything, every pleader of a good
cause, every leader of a Jewish
organization sought him out for
help. For years his business col-
leagues had learned to grin and
bear it when Warburg dashed
out of important directors' meet-
ings in Wall Street in which af-
fairs involving millions were being
discussed, In order to keep an ap-
pointment at the Jewish Theologi-
cal Seminary or the Joint Distri-
bution Committee or Federation.
No business meeting was impor-
tant when he had to meet his
fellow directors in any one of a
hundred or more philanthropic,
educational or cultural move-
ments.

His success in the sphere of
European relief and reconstruc-
