All Hear What You Want to Hear Observers, noting the sharp drop in the stock market, can Pl hear what they want to hear, believe what they want to be-/|1 lieve. As usually is the case with such affairs, no one can be sure as to the causes, or any combination of them. Fear often takes the place of reason in the mind and share owners are led by ex- citement to do things which they would not consider intelligent in their calmer moments. While the market was so greatly unsettled Tuesday the Associated Press surveyed the opinion of so-called experts and here is what it found, no attempt having been made to list the reasons in the order of their importance: CHEERING NEWS FOR U. S. to Enter Parley BUSINESS EXPECTED; Unpledged, FDR Says IN PROBE OF TAXES). srates sue born bor Modifications Levy on Profits Antici- pated by Treasury Washington, Oct, 20.—(#)—The treasury’s forthcoming recommenda: tions for tax legislation, fiscal officials said Wednesday, May contain some cheering news for business. _ Although declining to link taxes with the recent stock market slump, these authorities said modifications undoubtedly will be suggested in the levy on undistributed corporate prof- its. Some persons have listed that tax as a factor in the market decline. Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of the maritime commission and former head of the securities commission, recently of Corporate Rugby to Be Host to Lions Convention Rugby, N.

Replies to Johnson ~ It was generally regarded as a reply to the statement of Senator Hiram Johnson (Rep.-Calif.) demanding the president state his foreign policy in- tentions in “plain language,” and as- serting America was entering the conference undoubtedly. with a prior understanding with Great Britain. Johnson, declaring against League of Nations entanglements, had asked the president to explain “just what he will do and not do” to achieve world peace. He also wanted to know what was meant by “quarantining” warring nations. Repeats Statement The chief executive has refused to say what this government’s policy luses.

Stock brokers have hesitated to act quickly for fear they might break some complex law of the security and ex act. Directors and officers of the nation’s top corporations have been forbidden by law from freely buying or selling shares of their own companies, Commodity prices have toppled since early April. Businessmen have feared higher retajl prices would slow down buying by consumers and thus eat into profits. High margin requirements have taken away from the market the “cushion” of speculative buying which in the past usually ap- peared on sharp declines. The market has in recent weeks been at the mercy of rumors of bear selling from London and Amsterdam. The “inflation” urge which has been a strong stimulus for stock buying has been dulled by administration efforts in the direction of budget balance. Declining share prices have repeatedly resulted in forced selling by those who owned stocks on margin. Organized “pools” such as that organized by a banking group under the Hoover regime for support of falling markets are not now allowed by law. Continued strife in the Far East and Spain and diplomatic quar- reling in Europe have struck fear into the hearts of some investors. All of these explanations are of interest to persons who are, or may have been “in the market,” but the nation as a whole will be interested only in those phases which have to do with underlying conditions. If some of the explanations are sound the reaction will prove to be good rather than otherwise. If “rumors of bear selling from London and Amsterdam” are responsible, the result on American business could be great. The FOREIGN STAKE in America at Jast reports was something over SEVEN BILLION dollars, most of it invested in stocks. It is obvious that if any considerable part-of that money is taken home the result will be a decline, High margin requirements MAY have taken away the cushion of speculative buying which occurs on declines. If this is the fact it is a warning to the average investor to beware. It has seemed clear for some time that many persons were in the stock market who really had no business there. If, as contended, the “inflation urge” has been dulled by efforts to balance the national budget and the urge to buy stocks has diminished as a result, the net result will be good. This nation needs a balanced budget as quickly as one can be achieved. If any considerable number of investors now run from stocks hecause they think the budget is going to be bal- anced, they are merely paying the penalty for their original lack of faith. However, this explanation is difficult to reconcile with the latest budget news, announced before the opening of the market Tuesday, that the government will be unable to balance the budget this year. Fear as to the outlook, due to proposed legislation, may easily have been a factor but the question remains as to what damage would be done to concerns issuing stocks which would not extend equally to other investments, Forced selling undoubtedly contributed to the debacle and the technical reasons each may carry weight. However, there are some distinctly encouraging factors. No longer than a week ago the Amerian Bankers’ associa- tion and its leading economists agreed that no major business depression is in sight. This idea was echoed from London Tues- day by Charles G. Dawes, a major prophet since he called the upturn two years ago. Further, the RATE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY as disclosed by the latest available indices, gives no hint that business is basically bad. Under date of Oct, 16, the Administrative and Research corporations weekly index was at 88.8 as compared with 85.5 for the week before and 83.4 a year ago. Steel production and car loadings were down slightly, but automobile production was up despite inactivity at the Ford plant. The building industry was off sharply but consumer goods were up. g One possibility is that the stock market no longer is in close touch with American business, as once was the case. Its vicissitudes do business no good and may do much harm, but there is reason to believe that changes in the last few years have materially reduced its influence. If this develops to be the case, the public will be encouraged. The stock market has its place, but there is reason to believe that its importance may have been over-emphasized in the past. No Threats Needed An excellent sample of the kind of advice our government can get along without in the present troubled international situation is provided by the recent statement of N. M. Hubbard, president of the Navy League of the United States. Mr. Hub- bard urges the immediate dispatch of the U. S. fleet to the Philippines, holding that a threat of force would instantly cause Japan to give up her dream of Chinese conquest. Mr. Hubbard may be quite right, but most Americans will feel that the price which would be paid for being mistaken on that point would be altogether too high. Once you raise the threat of force, you stand right on the edge of war—and if your threat doesn’t work, you go right on in. * The best thing we can do with our fleet right now is keep ft strictly in the background. A warlike gesture from Uncle Sam in the present crisis would be about the worst thing that could happen. ad c! pt v. Beeks, Washburn; Ray Olson, Fargo: E. W.

No better way to propagate panic than by dramatizing the myth ov the radio. It inoculates children and child-minded adults even more sus. cessfully than does the printing of ugly superstitions.

Thursday night she said her neck hurt and she felt faint and nervous. . . A doctor saw her late at night and finally had her admitted to @ hospital at 2 a. m., but the child died an hour later. She died from rabies, the newspaper item implies. The Lord knows what the child died of, ly no physician can tell positively and no pathologist can determine whether an illness or death is caused by rabies, for the simple reason that there is no known specific test. In my opinion the indications in at least some such cases point rather to strychnine poisoning or to tetanuc Qockjaw). This child’s older brother was bitten on the foot by the same dog the same day, but he immediately applied tincture of iodin to his scratch or wound and suffered no ill effects, the news item says. It was the “first rabies death in five years.” Shucks, maybe it was the first in five hundred years. (Copyright, 1937, John F. Dille Co.) Two Bishops Address Jamestown Meetings Jamestown, N.
