An unyielding believer in free enterprise, his relations with U.S. Presidents, notably Franklin D. Roosevelt, were marked by angry clashes; he believed that the Government was growing too big, too paternalistic, in 1935 called on the nation's businessmen to "gang up" on F.D.R.. once took a full-page newspaper ad to declare: 'This country was sired, conceived and 'birthed' as a Republic--not as a Democracy."

Unlike his contemporary, Ned Hutton, Young's conciliatory personality often brought him into Government service; he served five U.S. Presidents as a troubleshooter and adviser, was tapped by Calvin Coolidge in 1924 to help Charles G. Dawes work out an Allied powers plan to check German inflation; five years later he returned to international finance, drawing up the Young Plan designed to reduce the reparations a bankrupt Germany was to pay the victorious Allies.
