Wall Street Things Looking Up for Street: Higher and More Active Markets Helpful: Some Worries Yet. BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Tines Sstdsl Financial Writer Things are looking up for Wall Street these days. Stocks and bonds have staged a nice advance, and trading has been active, making for larger commissions. Currency Inflation appears to be out, and the money sent out of the country a few months ago Is beginning to come back home. Devaluation of the dollar has become more acceptable to the Street, and the movement toward definite stabilization has struck a responsive chord. The Street still has plenty to worry about, however, but worrying doesn't come so hard so long as the boys are making money. The question of Stock Exchange regulation remains to be settled, and until that is over they will not breathe easily again. The underwriters of securities are hoping against hope that the securities act will be eased a bit, and the bankers would like to see the permanent plan to guarantee bank deposits thrown out. They would like also to have the senate investigation close up shop, but they don't mind so much so long as Mr. Pecora’s
eagle eye is not looking too directly at them. It may be said, however, that the new deal does not look as badly to the folks in the financial district now as it did when President Roosevelt first began to prove that the term was not just another catch phrase. In fact, a great many people are beginning to like it. No small number of brokers, strange as it may seem, are actually looking forward to regulation of the exchange. And the only bankers which are at all articulate have given up their reactionary tendencies and are now offering constructive suggestions to the administration. 000 Warburg Has Liberal Views James P. Warburg, president of the Bank of Manhattan, had some rather nice things to say about the President's monetary program in his statements before the committee on coinage, weights and measures in the house earlier this week. Mr. Warburg appears to be acting as the spokesman for Wall Street bankers

these days, and it may be said that he is more liberal and forward-looking in his views than any of those who have carried the bank flag in recent years. . . , The return of the A. W. O. L. capital probably is having a great deal more to do with the rise in market prices than is generally realized. This capital must find employment sooner or later, and the banks are not paying very high interest rates these days. Whether the capital goes into the banks, securities or directly into business, it should help the stock and bond markets. 000 Business Improvement Reflected That business is improving is indicated by the heavy repayments of loans granted by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Harvey Couch, a .director of the government agency, is quoted as saying that $1,059,214,273 of the $3,139,309,375 loaned has been repaid. Incidentally, these repayments and others which will be made if business continues to expand as many anticipate are likely to have an important bearing on budget requirements and the government debt over the next year or two.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—An easier tone came into stock, bond and the cotton markets today with price changes in a narrow' range. The only overnight development of importance w r as introduction in the New York state legislature by Governor Lehman of an 11-point utility price curb program. This resulted in easiness to utility stocks at the opening today. Other major points before the market included the Roper report on stock market operations, which President Roosevelt is to receive today, and the progress of the monetary bill in the senate with its various possibilities of revisions. These uncertainties led to a curtailment of trading activities at the opening today and the gradually easing prices in most divisions, except oils. The oiK shares continued to benefit by the marketing agreement and probability of increased gasoline prices therefrom. Consolidated gained % to ll 7 /g, Standard of California advanced Y* to 41% and Texas Corporation was up % to 27 %. Declines were limited to slightly more than a point, the widest coming in Union Carbide which on 1,500 shares was off 1% at 4814. Columbia Gas declined % of a point to 14%, Consolidated Gas dropped % of a point to 43%. Motors eased fractionally. United States Steel lost % point at 54% while American Telephone moved against the trend to show % point gain to 11814. Activity continued fairly quiet after the opening with prices advancing under lead of mining shares.

I —Today and Tomorrow — Japanese Militarist Propaganda May Have Serious Implications for the Future. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
THE most seasoned American observers of far eastern affairs have been disposed to make large allowances for the Japanese militarist propaganda on the ground that its immediate purpose is to justify large military appropriations in the budget now under consideration. Nevertheless, this propaganda is taking a form which may have serious implications for the future, and it would be a mistake not to call attention to them. What is to be feared is that the propagandists will commit Japanese opinion and Japanese public men to projects that are impossible to realize, that bridges will be burned, the Japanese national honor engaged.
This propaganda seems to be bent upon establishing two principles. One is that, all treaties to the contrary notwithstanding, no one must question the Japanese advance in Asia. Indeed, last week there was expressions of pained astonishment in Japan because the United States, though offering no active opposition, does not by recognizing Manchukuo give its approval to the treaty breaking. 000 THE other is that in the naval conference scheduled for 1935-36, Japan must have a navy equal to Britain’s and America's. These two principles combined are formidable. If they were accepted, they would destroy the whole basis of the treaty relationship set up in the Washington conference. Let us recall what those relationships were. The United States came to the Washington conference with
a naval building program under way which, if completed, would have made us the first naval power. The British had an alliance with Japan. The Japanese had taken a big bite out of China. The Washington conference was a compromise in the interests of general peace. The United States gave up naval supremacy and accepted equality in capital ships with Great Britain. The British gave up their Japanese alliance. Japan and the United States agreed upon a
ratio of three to five. In return the United States agreed not to fortify islands in the western Pacific, thus making it impossible for the American navy to give battle on the Asiatic side of the ocean. Japan in return gave up Shantung and signed the nine-power treaty recognizing the integrity of China. 000 NOW, as Secretary Stimson pointed out in 1932, all these agreements were inter-related. We, for example, did not build a navy which outclasses Japan two to one because Japan pledged herself to a non-aggressive policy as respects the Asiatic mainland and the Asiatic Islands. We did not fortify our j own outposts because we have no ambitions of our own in Asia and were willing to renounce the possibility of the use of force in. that part of the world. But if Japan is now going to claim the right to override all her treaties and at the same time to possess a navy equal to ours, the^, whole basic settlement of twelve years ago will be undermined. This has one very important practical consequence. The time is already at hand when it is necessary to discuss the renewal, the improvement or the abrogation of the naval treaty. The Japanese should not deceive themselves. No American congress would ratify a treaty giving naval equality to Japan, most especially after the demonstration since September, 1931, of how aggressively the present rulers of Japan employ armaments. THEREFORE, the Japanese should know that if they commit themselves to the doctrine of a free hand in Asia plus naval parity, they had just as well be frank about it and admit that the naval treaty is to lapse and the naval conference is not worth calling together. Asa matter of fact, if Japan is to demand naval equality, it would be dangerous to the peace of the world to hold a conference. For a conference under such conditions would simply advertise and exacerbate the irreconcilable positions. This is not the view of American jingoes or professional anti-Japa-nese. It is, I believe, the view of men who, looking at the matter without passion or prejudice, realize that propaganda such as is now b#ing put forth in Japan may, if it is not checked, put Japan in a position of isolation in the world from which it would be extremely difficult for her to retreat.

MILD SELLIN6 WAVE REDUCES GRAIN PRICES All Months Drop Fractions After Traders Are Discouraged. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS, United Pres, Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Jan. 23.—Grain traders were discouraged by an easiness in stocks and cotton and started a mild wave of selling which sent valuer off fracticnally at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Wheat deliveries were unchanged to % cent lower, corn was off % cent, and oats were % cent lower. With money matters less of a factor in the market, the trade looked to the arid southwest for Incentive. Diminished interest in the wheat market seems to be a consolidation of ideas that the market is not yet ready for an advance, this ordinarily being a period of the year when prices are inclined to lag. Traders are conscious of the fact that crop conditions in the southwest are unfavorable, but realize that good moisture within the next month could easily change the entire picture.
