Wall Street-
Investigation of Exchanges Little Cause for Alarm; Members of Committee Well Regarded. By RALPH lIEXDERSHOT
Timei Special Financial Writer The fact that a committee has been formed at President Roosevelt’s suggestion to investigate the various security exchanges throughout the country- does not necessarily imply that needless or revolutionary changes in exchange practices will result. The committee, however, will be charged with the duty of framing legislation designed to correct some of the more flagrant abuses in exchange operations. It is felt in responsible quarters that the President takes a broad viewpoint of the financial situation and realizes that the part played by the exchanges In the general picture is an important one and one which should fit satisfactorily into the general scheme of financial things. It is as important, for instance, that a long-term credit
market for industry be provided on the proper basis as it is that manufacturers are provided with commercial credit from the banks or that unfair competition is eliminated under the code. When the new securities act was placed on the books it may be said that only half of the job was done. While some modifications of the act probably will be found necessary, it is quit*' generally agreed that from now cn the purchasers of newly Issued securities will stand a much better chance of getting their money's worth than they ever have in the past. ana The Other Half of Job The other half of the job, of course, is to see that those who buy securities already outstanding and listed on exchanges also get all they pay for. This job, however, does not call for the closing of the exchanges or the imposing of penalties on brokers under which they can not function. It probably does involve,

though, the elimination of such practices as vicious bear raiding and unwarranted pool operations. , Tiie lineup of the committee members would seem to be satisfactory as far as the New York Stock Exchange is concerned. Arthur H. Dean is a member of the law firm of Sullivan <& Cromwell, which has been identified with Wall Street for years. Mr. Dean, one of the best posted men on exchange matters in the financial district, probably can be counted upon to see that the exchange is not treated unfairly in the new legislation. A. A. Berle Jr., while generally classified in the liberal group, is not looked upon unfavorably in the financial district. No favors are expected from him, but, at the same time, he is expected to deal fairly with the question. t a a a Richardson Little Known Relatively little is known of Arthur J. Richardson in Wall Street other than that he is regarded as a competent man and thoroughly honest. John Dickinson, assistant secretary of commerce, also is placed In the so-called liberal class. He formerly was professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania. Wall Street is Inclined to lay some sort of claim to Dean Acheson, under-secretary of the treasury. Report has it that he was a personal appointee of Secretary Woodin, who, in turn, has many close friends in the financial district. ,

—Today and Tomorrow— Roosevelt Administration Carried Near Goal in NRA Drive Through Step-by-Step Campaign. BY WALTER LIPPMANN r
IHAVE spent a nice vacation, thank you, reading industrial codes, General Johnson's speeches, statistics about banks and piggy sows, and a sufficient mixture of threats, promises, predictions and warnings to make a man purr with contentment while his hair stands on end. Nature did her best; the sea, the sky and the woods of Maine could not have been less concerned with our fretfulness or more convincing that human destiny is not determined finally by the news of the front page. But in vain does a man imagine that a man can go anywhere these days and shut himself away from the clamor of the front page.
Even when the newspaper does not come, he is trying to imagine what is in the newspaper he has not seen. There is too much at stake to put public affairs long out of mind, the security and well-being of us all, the peace of the world, the libeities of man. Thus a genuine holiday is impossible \ the best one can do. I find, is to fret quietly for a few weeks instead of openly in public print. There is, however, much to be said for a little silence now and then, especially for those who act on or write currently about public matters. For a large part of the mischief and iolly of the world comes from rushing in, taking a position, and then not knowing how to retreat. There is something about making a speech or writing an article about the human mind. When the utterance is published the Rubicon has been crossed and the bridges have been burned. It seems to end the inquiry, and after that we almost
cease to be interested in the truth, being so preoccupied to prove that we already possess it. What between the demand of the audience for an infallible preceptor, the vanity of the speaker, and the terrorism of those who lie in ambush ready to quote what he said last year against what he mav believe this year, the impulse is almost irre- 1
sistible, once a man has published his opinion, to say: “That’s my story and I stick to it.” a a a IN private intercourse any one who sticks to his story regardless is set down by his friends as slightly batty. In public he passes for a very strong fellow. The Roosevelt administration has, it seems to me, been singularly skillful in not making itself the prisoner of its own pronouncements. Here and there it has stumbled, as for Example in the promise that the NRA would put I forget how many million men to work by Labor day, in the threat of a boycott which the good sense of the country so sensibly rejected, in the grimirces at Henry Ford, in the pledge to the farmers not merely to help them but to give them the exact quota of prdsperity which they had just before the war. These have been slips. They have been exceptions to the rule. For in the main the President has made it his practice not to paint pictures and make promises, but to contrive expedients and decide practical issues. In this habit of his mind he has shown himself to be an amazingly successful leader in a period of crisis. He has known better than to imagine that a great nation of free men could be indoctrinated with any consistent set of principles. So, like the wisest of the Eng-lish-speaking statesmen, he has preferred to find his political and economic principles in the necessities of each particular situation, limiting his output of high-sound-ing generalizations to the indisputable truths of honor, courtesy, and the ordinary morals. This step-by-step empiricism is utterly incomprehensible to men of certain temperaments. They think a statesman should have a complete theory about the history of the human race, a comprehensive program about its future; in brief, that he should forget he is mortal and plant himself on the judgment seat. The preference of the Englishspeaking peoples for crossing bridges when you come to them, and discovering the reason why you have come when you are halfway across, seems to them'in varying degree confused, illogical, illiterate, and even hypocritical. By its enemies it is described a§muddling, by its practitioners as muddling through. But whatever it is, the record of history goes to show that it levies a lighter tax of blood and tears, of anguish and bitterness, than the more perfected, tlje more theoretically consistent and more exalted systems of governing men. a a a IT is not only among doctrinaries, however, that Mr. Roosevelt’s cautious avoidance of commitments has aroused objections. At home there is complaint that he has not announced a monetary policy, that he does not define the position of labor under the codes, that he does not make it known whether the NRA is an emergency measure or anew industrial order, that he does

not make it clear whether the capital market is to be run, as in the past, by investment bankers, or as it is at this moment, by the federal government, that he does not indicate whether he looks forward to a general policy of economic nationalism or backward to a revival of relatively free trade. There are real issues at the heart of all these questions, and they will have to be decided. But as I see it, there is, in addition to his native caution, a controlling reason why Mr. Roosevelt has felt it necessary to let the "issues come to him rather than to reach out for them and render his verdicts. So he must have recovery and he must have reconstruction and, unless he is to arouse disappointment and revolt, he must set them both going simultaneously. Now that complicates matters. For at innumerable visual points, the pursuit of one of these objectives interferes with the achievement of the other. If he could devote himself in single-minded fashion to recovery stimulating enterprise, profits and confidence according to the orthodox canons of capitalism, there is little doubt that employment would revive faster and business begin to hum sooner. But he can not be single-minded. While he is trying to stimulate recovery he also must respond to the conviction of the mass of the people that the old order of things up to 1929 needs drastic renovation. He must give evidence that he is installing new controls and collective standards. This discourages enterprise and so retards recovery. Yet he can not say to his constituency as revolutionary leaders in Russia, Italy or Germany say to their people; Endure patiently the sacrifices of the present for the sake of the glorious future. Mr. Roosevelt is not a revolutionary leader. He must produce the prosperity of the old order while he builds anew one. Thus he must shape his course with one eye on the short objective of recovery and the other on the long objective of reconstruction. a a a THAT this produces a kind of chronic dilemma has been amply Illustrated since the adjournment of congress. Thus, if the only thing the President needed to do was to encourage an old-fashioned business revival, it would have been' sheer folly to raise the question of union recognition as acutely as the NRA has raised it, or to depress an already frightened capital market with the threats of the securities act, or to disrupt the paralyzed machinery of capital investment by the Glass-Seagall bill, it would have been folly with the-NRA to raise the costs of production in advance of profits and an increased volume of demand, or to create the profound uncertainty of a theoretical speculation on the possibility of some wholly new kind of currency, or to open up vistas of drastic taxation on profits and of stringent control of public utilities. Obviously, these things retard recovery. But no less obviously, they, or things like them, have had to be undertaken if the pledges of anew deal were sincere. For the new deal unmistakably implied a different distribution of income and financial power than that which prevailed before the crash, a much stricter policing of private enterprise and a far-reaching attempt to reduce the competitive and enhance the co-operative motfves in American life. At almost every juncture, therefore, decisions have had to be taken whether to advance the new deal at the risk of slowing up enterprise for recovery, or whether to promote enterprise and slow up the installation of the new deal. Sometimes the administration has not seemed to be quite clear in its own mind as to which of its two projects it was working on This especially was evident in the earlier stages of the blue eagle campaign where the hasty stsfmpede into codes was proclaimed as a major measure of recovery, when as a matter of fact, the NRA ’6 contribution to recovery is modest and mixed in result, where its contribution to reconstruction may well prove to be epoch-making. It is only by keeping constantly in mind the two-fold character of the President’s task that one can fairly interpret the complexity of his decisions, or understand why one day’s newspapers tell us that ms ’conservative” advises (i e those primarily interested in recoveryi are winning, and the next that the radicals” <i. e., those interested m reconstruction! are dominant. The fact is that the President has to achieve what both groups desire he has to give each its head and then rein it in, and somehow drive them both abreast. This attempt to make the best of both worlds is not the easy way to success, and only a daring man would take it. But for Mr. Roosevelt there was no other way open, given the situation as he found it, and the xpectations of the people who raised him to power. He has taken it thus far with undaunted courage and with a practical judgment as to how to advance now toward the one objective, and now toward the other, which one must admire increasingly the more one appreciates the great difficulty of the task.

GRAINS DISPLAY WEAK TREND IN LIGHHRADING Little Change Expected in Government Report Today. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—Grains eased off fractionally on the Board of Trade at the opening today. Wheat was down % to % cents, corn was off % to cents, and oats were unchanged to down % cent. Rye was down ! s to cent. Some brokers believed the market had a sold-out appearance and that the beginning of a good rise was close at hand. The monthly government estimate on grain crops is due sometime today. but since little crange is expected from the report of last month, the announcement will be of little importance as a market factor. Liverpool was lower today than expected. The country apparently has decided to hold old corn for better prices for bookings yesterday were small. Chicago Futures Range WHEAT— _OCt ' I<>_ prev High.
