BRITISH SEE BENEFIT IN AMERICAN SLUMP| By WADE WERNER (A.P. Feature Service Writer) LONDON, Dec. 12—Old Dr. Wall Street, who has been curing many Americans of the speculative fever, cver here is looked upon as a great surgeon. Some financial and political ob- servers in fact, seem to think that the amputations in America will help indirectly to cure Great Britain of her chronic and most grevious —unemployment. or unemployment in England, they rightly or wrongly believe, is to some extent the fault of American speculators. Unquestionably the mar- gin speculator in Wall Street, by his willingness to pay high rates for call money attracted much gold from England which otherwise might have remained here to finance a revival of British industry. Now that he has lost his appe- tite for high priced money, the gold has been coming back this way. Theoretically that should mean an abundance of capital for new British enterprises and public improvements | likely to stimulate employment. However, there are a few analy- sts of the situation who decline to be over-enthusiastic, even though they admit the home-coming of gold from America is a healthy symptom. Money poured into industry, they ! point out, has to be skillfully poured into the right channels or it may have little effect on employment. Into about 250 of these new enter- pnses the public put, during 1928, ‘approximx'.ely $370,000,000—this be- ing the cash value of the various| stock issues at their price of issue. | Before the boom was over many were selling at four and five times their price of issue. Now, however, the market valuci of these 250 issues aggregates less than $24,000,000, an aggregate sluinp of 50 per cent from the high poln}l of 1928, Gilbert Richards seventeen, a mere lad of sevein feet two inches, wants to get up in the world. He walized into the State-City employment offices at City Hall, Cleveland, Obio, and asked for a job. Gilbert wanted any kind of work, painting preferred.
