Wall St. Pamphlet Relates Ins-and-Outs of Inflation. _BY RALPH HENDERSHOT rinrt SwtW Wnm
NEW YORK. Feb. 27—Many people are siv in z serious thought these days to the possibility of inflation. Some think it will come through the printing of a vast amount of new money, while others expert it to take the form of excessive credit expansion. Few people, however, seem to have any idea what they can do about
it or how it is likely to affect them. W M Kiphnger and Frederick Sholton. ousiness rommen tutors, have written and Simon Ac Schuster have published a pamphlet which does an excellent Job of telling what it is all about. These men. who are certain that inflation is "just

around the corner." present a rather convincing argument in simple, everyday language. They waste no space in complicated and academic discourses. but rather approach the issue from a practical and useable angle. The authors apparently have no false illusions about their ability to look into the future. They ask that readers challenge everything they say. In fact, they even tell them how to do it. But they do lay claim to having no position to maintain and to not having inflirted their own personal views on the advisability or inadvisability of inflation. What they do primarily in their pamphlet is pull in all the factual loose ends of political and financial development and show how these point toward inflation. m * • WITH non-callable 5 per cent bonds selling at a 20 per cent premium and 4s selling 10 points above their par value, there can be little question about the demand for high grade securities. In fact, the demand is better than it has been in years, and it is rather certain that this market will prove too tempting for our larce corporations to pass up for long. It is true, of course, that underwriting bankers and corporate executives have been hesitant about signing on the dotted line in view of the terms of the Securities Act. The gold clause decision held them in check for a long time also. But any one of these days now one of the bieger concerns is likely to dive overboard, and then it will not be long before a great many of them are in the water again. Money has been piling up gradually*. but steadily in the hands of investors for quite some time now. And just as gradually these investors have been losing their timidity and have been going out further and further into the open market for securities. The indigestion of securities so much in evidence after the market crash of 1929 has long since passed, so with the buyers and sellers smiling at each other again it should not be long until the new capital market begins to function. * n u A WALL STREET man with a Greenwich Village apartment for rent was approached recently by a prospect, who said he represented California racing interests with "heavy" money. After a tentative rental deal had been negotiated. and the prospect agreed to return the next day for the final transactions, discussions turned to racing. It seemed that once in a great while special conditions arose which made it possible to make a killing on the ponies. Such conditions were favorable for the next day. Without any kind of selling pressure, the Wall Street man soon became very eager to participate. 1 and what could be more natural than he place his bet through his new acquaintance? He still has his apartment for rent; he hasn't heard whether or not he won his bet. and his friends are razzing him more than a little.

BLAST FALLACY OF ECONOMICS IN NEW REPORT Brookings Experts Flay Old American Theory in Study. BY MAX STERN Timet Special Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.—Another American economic fallacy has been blasted by scholars of the Brookings Institution in the third of their Falk Foundation studies on the relations between economic progress and distribution of income. This fallacy is that capital—tools, railroads, power houses and other means of produciton—must be accumulated out of savings and at the expense of consumers. • The demand for capital goods is derived from the demand for consumption goods.” says the Brookings report, entitled “The Formation of Capital." "Hence, an increase in savings at the expense of consumptive demand will decrease rather than increase the output of capital goods.” History Bears Out Dictum The Brookings experts find that "if new capital is to be created there must be an increasing flow of funds through consumption channels as well as through savings channels.” History bears out this dictum, they say. "The fact show incontrovertibly that new capital is constructed on an extensive scale when consumption is expanding rather than when it is contracting,” says the report. Likewise, it was found that there is no support for the popular theory that recoveries of the past have generally been brought about by the rise of new industries during the depressions. "Actually, it says, the new industries that are popularly supposed to have pulled the country from depressions—the auto in 1920, for in-stance-developed after expansion was under way.
Evidence Supports Theory "The available evidence supports the view that the growth of capital is directly related to the demand for consumption goods,” the study continues. "In the first place changes in the direction of business activity in most cases appear to have begun with factors affecting the consumption side of the economic picture. In the second place, the growth of new capital is adjusted to the rate of expansion of consumptive demand rather than to the volume of savings and available for investment.” Before the Civil War, the people's savings were needed for capital expansion. Since then the growth of a well-to-do middle class with plentiful funds for investment and the development of a banking system capable of supplying expanding credits for business have upset the old economy. We now have not only an abundance of funds for financing American enterprises but enough to lend abroad. Excessive Supply Dangerous 4 “Instead of a scarcity of funds for the need of business enterprise there tends to be an excessive supply of available investment money, which is productive not of new capital goods, but of financial maladjustments,” the Brookings report concludes. The new study, like the two earlier ones, bears directly on the highwage claim of labor economists. The first report showed that America suffers from under-consumption through maldistribution of the national income. It found 16 million families in 1929 living below a minimum standard income of S2OOO a year. The second study revealed America tragically failing to live to its productive capacity. With its plant and labor capacity it could produce twice as much as it is producing today and 20 per cent more than it turned out in 1929.

Maximum Freedom for Management Needed , Stock Exchange Head Says
Richard Whitney Maps Three Main Planks for Recovery. By Times Special PITTSBURGH, Feb. 27.—Adequate incentives for private enterprise, maximunj of freedom for management and restoration of confidence for capital were offered as the three cardinal instruments of recovery by Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in an address delivered here last night before the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania. Nowhere is the prospect of reasonable gain more important, Mr. Whitney said, than in the capital goods industries, as these are fields first affected by a decline in confidence. In recent years studies of the business cycle have clearly demonstrated that the pendulum of prosperity is moved by the fortune of the capital goods industries, he said. “It is to the owners and managements of these heavy industries that incentives must reappear,” Mr. Whitney declared. "They must be given grounds for believing that the risks which they now assume will not proye fatal and that operations may be undertaken once more with a reasonable prospect of sustaining income. “Until this condition is met progress in this country will mark time and full recovery will be postponed. In this connection the security markets play a vital part. The risks

The decision, which follows a long fight before the commission by the Chicago Association of Commerce and other local institutions, reduces the first class differential from 3 to 10 cents on each 100 pounds and to this extent modifies the decision handed down in 1928 when substani tial increases were made in this adjustment* f

Revival, He Says, Can Not Be Accomplished by Government Alone. ful. The men whose funds are solicited must be certain that a broad and active market will permit them to sell their securities on short notice and at a reasonable cost for the service of conversion. If the investor is asked to place his capital in a form where retreat is difficulty, costly, or impossible, new enterprise will be checked at the start. For this reason there is a natural and mutual interest between security markets and capital industries. “As we regard the scope and complexity of the recovery problem, we realize that it can not be solved by government intervention alone. Such intervention can be, at best, only a temporarily palliative. This is not a criticism of the government, but rather a recognition of the magnitude and difficulty of the task. “Recovery, when it comes, must come, in the future as in the past, through the initiative of private enterprise, the intelligence of private management and the courage of private capital. National policy, to be successful, should embrace these three cardinal instruments of recovery: Provide adequate incentives for private enterprise; grant management the maximum of freedom and restore confidence to capital. “With these three great fundamentals achieved; then indeed is true recovery assured.”
PORKER PRICES DROPSUGHTLY Majority of Classes Stand Steady to 10 Cents Lower. i First sign of weakness in the pork market for more than a week was evident in early trading at the Indianapolis Union Stockyards today where prices were unchanged to generally 10 cents lower than yesterday’s best average. The top price however, -emained at $9.50. An increase in supplies during the last two sessions and a slightly weaker demand from packing houses was believed mostly responsible for the moderate decline. The bulk 160 to 350 pounds, sold at $9.30 to $9.45, while 130 to 160 pounders, brought $7.75 to $8.75. Sows cashed in at $8 to $8.75. Receipts were estimated at 4000; holdovers, 107. With initial trading on slaughter steers undeveloped in the cattle market, only slight activity was evident and prices were mostly unchanged at the previous close. Several loads of good grades of cattle were valued to sell from $11.25 to $12.75. Receipts were 1000. Vealers continued stationary, selling at $9.50 down. Receipts numbered 600. Trading interest was lacking in the iamb market with most all classes unchanged at yesterday’s close. Good native grades were salable at $8.75 down, while fed westerns brought $8.85. Throwouts cashed in at $6.50 to SB. Slaughter sheep held at $5 down. Receipts were 500.

Feb. 27.—Plans are proceeding today for what is heralded as the world's largest gathering of chemists during the week of April 22. when the American Chemical Society convenes in annual convention to celebrate the tercentennary of the founding of the American chemical industries by John Winthrop Jr., Colonial Governor of Connecticut. First call on four large hotels, the Pennsylvania, New Yorker, McAlpin and Governor Clinton, has been contracted for in anticipation of an attendance of up to 10 000 chemists from all parts of the world. This will be the first annual convention of the society in New York City since 1921. The sessions among the four hotels will be by divisions. Several hundred scientific papers will be read before the 17 divisional programs. Many excursions of visiting chemists are scheduled to important chemical manufacturing plants in the metropolitan region. Dinner Important Event Commemoration of the industries’ tercentennary will be celebrated the evening of April 24 with a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Htoel. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi and Representative James W. Wadsworth Jr. of New York are expected to speak. Francis P. Garvan. president of the Chemical Foundation, will be toastmaster. Preceding the banquet in the afternoon session will be addresses by William B.
