CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Wind and thc Lamb of peace prepare for war,’ Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, recently delivered a speech in which he warned anew of the evils of buying fraudulent stocks and securities. Most of us thought that the “blue-sky” salesman had vanished with the bull market, but Whitney asserts em- Phatically that this is not so and that thousands of per- sons, most of them poor or of modest means, are an- nually being buncoed out of millions of dollars by the sale of worthless stocks. “We talk and read today about rackets and racketeers and, in the popular imagination, this newer and more dramatic evil has taken the place of the earlier types of fraud,” says Whitney, and then adds:' “This general impression is absolutely false. Security frauds are as rampant today as they have been at any time in the past and the loss they are causing to the people of the United States annually aggregates hundreds of millions of dollars. The methods are ss ostentatious. Tipster sheets, with the appearance of genuine fi- nancial newspapers, have replaced the flashy salesmen of years ago, but the method and pur- pose is still the same and the evil is just as great if not greater. If you talk to men who are active in suppressing security frauds you will thear, over and over again, the same old story of money stolen from poor people by the sale of worthless securities. The officials who are charged with enforcing out anti-fraud statutes, the active men in the Better Business Bureaus throughout the United States and all thoughtful people in the security business can testify to the fact that fraudulent securities are being issued and sold to the public day after day and in ever increasing amounts. “This evil can only be prevented by energetic action and an insistent public demand that crim- inals of this character be caught, convicted and sent to jail. If the public does not insist on fraudulent security salesmen being punished, one can hardly expect public officials to be active and energetic. This is true of all crimes. The greatest activity is always exhibited in punish- ing crimes of violence which the public abhors. A brutal murder creates an insistent demand that the murderer be found and punished. A robbery committed with violence is more apt to be pun- ished than a theft which is successful by mis- representation or guile. Public complacency, therefore, prevents effective prosecution and acts as a protection to the criminal. Nothing can be more dangerous than the uninterested attitude which the public seems to have adopted in regard to security frauds .... “The fraudulent security criminal is a coward. Like all other criminals what he fears most is punishment, and the weapon which will cure the evil is the prison sentence. In order to secure conviction, the criminal must be denounced and the victim must take the time and trouble to appear as a witness and to testify at the trial. ‘When the public is apathetic or ridicules the person whose confidence has been abused, no victim is apt to report his loss to the public authorities or to come forward and testify in court. In many cases he prefers to pocket his loss rather than to subject himself to publicity. “This fear of ridicule is due, very largely, to the unfortunate habit of referring to these crim- inals in terms which reflect upon the business ability of the victim. A man who steals by sell- ing worthless stock is not called a thief by a con- fidence man or a high pressure salesman. These very terms indicate that he is not considered in the same class as a pickpocket or a hold-up man. I venture to say, however, that the loss to the public through security frauds amounts each year to many times the total of property stolen in other ways. If loss to the public alone deter- mined what crimes we should punish most promptly, security frauds would rank at the top of the jist.” It may be argued that Whitney, as a representative of an institution which has been declared the greatest gambling den in the world, was trying merely to build up business for the standard security dealers, but hardly seems logical. Wall Street may not temper the wind to the shorn moves his coat while he is looking rather than when he is lulled into a sense of false security by the dulcet tones of a high-pressure salesman selling worthless stocks. ?

President and Publisher Basing his plea on the time-honored adage, “In time} Jamb but, whatever its crimes and offenses, it at least re- | use as @ result of the new parking regulations. The latter step has effected a 20 per cent rise in traffic movement generally, All of us are familiar with the adage that figures do not le, but, even granting that the traffic experts gave themselves a little the best of it in their calculations, there may be some merit to their plan. It is surely true that the traffic problem has been handled, in most Amer- ican cities, on a purely hit-or-miss basis. Greatest Loafer of Them All Money has been referred to by many economists as the greatest loafer in the large army of unemployed. It is eager for a job, but opportunity lags. In some financial centers the “long green” is re- Yerred to as a drug on the market. Uncle Sam is bor- rowing it as low as and even Jess than two per cent. Call money at one per cent hits a new level. When stocks and bonds were soaring, call money reached 20 Per cent in an effort to stop the mad orgy of speculation. Gilt edge commercial paper takes a lower discount than of yore. Many banks report a good supply of idle ; funds. |" When capital loses its timfdity and gets on the job| things will move at a better business tempo. Babson, | captains of industry and others tell us that business signs are improving. They have been looking deeply into the crystal ball of portents and prophecy and are some- what cheered. There is abundant food, great reserves of capital, initiative and willingness so characteristic of Yankee Pluck, but to offset these factors is a timidity on the part of the public which baffles analysis. That the fears ‘and over caution of buyers are abating is an evident and | cheerful sign. As soon as the vast resources are given jobs all forms} | of industry will revive. When money goes to work there will be few idle hands. | Spanish Republic Will Be Good Customer | If ex-King Alphonso of Spain should condescend to | visit these shores, there is a special reason why America | exporters should wish to wine and dine him and treat him | with special homage. The reason is that Alphonso’s quiet | | abdication has quieted the turbulent condition of Span-| ish politics, which have been in a ferment for the past | two years and which might very easily have resulted in a; bloody revolution. The peseta had gone down very | markedly in value and the result was a serious curtail- ment of American trade. The financial situation is ex- pected to improve rapidly since the Spanish people have ; Settled their difficulties in a peaceful way. | Spain has been a valued customer of American ex-! porters. In 1929 their shipments to Spain amounted to $82,000,000, but last year the trade went down to $57,000,- 000, owing largely to the unsettled state of Spanish politics. This country usually sells to Spain about two ; and a half times as much as is purchased. Imports from |Spain in 1929 amounted to $36,000,000 and in 1930 to $25,000,000 in round numbers. The principal items imported from Spain are cork, olives, olive oil, nuts and metals. The two largest items of U. S. exports to Spain are cotton and automobiles. Spills the Beans Tammany finds thé female of the species more deadly than the male when it comes to “spilling the beans.” In a recent address, a Miss Mathews, deputy worker in the nineteenth Tammany district, frankly admitted | lthat gifts for political preferment were legitimate po-/| |litical perquisites. She became more implicit in her | political confessions and declared that appointees named | to office would show base ingratitude unless they “kicked; in” with presents or some material form of appreciation \for benefits received. Her loquacity and frankness have caused Tammany to gnash its teeth. All this, too, when “Jimmy” Waker and Tammany generally are being investigated. | Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

All that they need to do in order to find a well balanced, whole- scme diet is to use the which appear every Friday in health column. most common questions which I re- ceive about the menus. One woman wants to know: “When are we sup- your menus? Am I to take it for granted that these are added to each nieal?” Bread ‘s not to be added to each meal. The breakfast menus usually jcall for white bread in the form of Melba toast, and this is to be butter- ed. A small amount of bread may occasionally be taken with the lunch menus by those in good health. But no bread is to be added to the di ner menu when meat is used, as this is not a good combination. Children may add more of the starchy foods than adults. Another frequent question is this: “What kind of fruits are to be used with the menus? Is it all right to use the fresh fruit for breakfast?” About the best way to use the fresh acid fruits is to make a meal of them, adding nothing else but milk. This makes a good lunch. If you desire menu, then I would advise you to eat the fruit all by itself during the mid- ale of the afternoon, or just before going to bed. In this way you will get the fruit, with no bad conse- quences. The acid of fruit does not mix weil wath starch, and for this rea- son fruit should not be added to every meal. The dried fruits are used at breakfast and as a dessert at din- ner. Another question which come in is this: “Is it all right to change the meal around, taking dinner at lunch?’ ¥es, it is all right to change the meals in this way. Simply use the lunch at right. A question which I see about five times a day is this: “I do not see any beverages in the menus. Why?” | The only drink I recommend at meal time is plain water.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pain In Chest Question: A. R. W. asks: “Will you please advise me what would cause a pain whenI drawin my chest? I have had tonsils removed, | also lungs examined and teeth X-ray- ed, finding both in good condition. Smoke about ten cigarettes a day.” Answer: It would be difficult for me to tell you what is causing the vain in your chest without being able to examine you. This might be due ie adhesions which have formed, and which are limiting the action of the chest in breathing. It might be due ‘to an old case of pleurisy. It might lso be due either to gas pressure or jto an injury. \ Baked Ground Beets | Question: Mrs. L. asks: “Will you | please tell me how to prepare the aked ground beets?” Answer: Select small tender beets lend scrub thoroughly with a vegeta- (ble brush.
