ministration of the SEC, ahd a broadening of its activities. When President Roosevelt chose Mr. Kennedy, a Wall Street oper“ator, as the first SEC chairman, the financial centers were puzzled, and New Dealers here joined in the wonder. But by |the time he returned to private affairs (from which he has now come back as head of the Maritime, Commission) his regime was known as one of moderation. When Mr. Landis took over, the fears and wonder rose again. But John T. Flynn,| the authoreconomist, has written that Chairman Landis turned out “to be a gentleman who would not hurt a flea.” Magazine Fortune remarked that under the Kennedy and Landis chairmanships the ‘Government has been swallowed and partly digested” by Wall Street. And now comes Bill Douglas. Chairman Kennedy brought him to the SEC in 1934 [to make a study of the 200,000 “protective committees” which were ostensibly seeking to protect investors’ money in receiverships. Out of this study grew, among other things, the Chandler Bankruptcy - Bill which passed the house this year. (It passed, incidentally, without a provision urged by Mr. Douglas. This would have given labor unions the right to be heard on the economic soundness of any reorganization plan affecting their interests). But whilehe has been a specialist in the problem of corporate reorganizations, Mr. Douglas is also familiar with the other missions and activities of the SEC, of which he has been a commissioner since early in 1936. Last April he made a speech here

stage, vigorously applauded Mr. Green's -denunciation of foreign “isms” and Secretary Woodring’s pledge that he would work unceasingly for “peace in America.” The 1938 convention was awarded to Los Angeles after Denver and Chicago had withdrawn their bids.
' which Wall Street might do well to re-read now that he is chairman. “It would be the part of folly,” he said, “to conclude that all is well because -a commission has been created in Washington. From the viewpoint of investors, while there is more assurance now that fewer gross frauds will be perpetrated, it would be foolish to assume that the capital markets have become safe by reason of the existence of the commission. Capital Markets Still Unsafe
“From the point of view of an agency like the Commission, it would be, in my personal judgment, likewise foolish to assume that responsibility ends with doing the restricted task which has been assigned. The mandates for dynamic administration make of transcending importance the preparation for the tasks which lie ahead. “High finance may obtain little comfort from this philosophy. It would welcome assurance that the Commission’s task ends with the strict legal powers which the Com-. mission has. But in my personal judgment responsive and responsible administration can and will give no such assurance. . “If present legal powers are lacking, it is my individual opinion that additional ones must be obtained. “With the aid of astute lawyers high finance has almost unlimited ability to circumvent any legal system of control which may be designed. This means that there must be an inventive genius on the part of the Government to match the inventive genius of high finance and to forge new techniques where the present ones are inadequate.”

The award was made by a unanimous vote. Gen. Hines brought to the convention “the assurance” that President Roosevelt ‘feels a “sympathetic and continuous interest in the American Legion and in the veterans of all our wars.” Gen. Hines discussed veterans’ relief and urged that all unemployed veterans register in the unemployment poll to be taken by the Federal Government. Lloyd Wampler, 16-Vear-oid “Boys’ State Governor” of Indiana, urged the Legion to continue its opposition to fascism and to carrying out that rt of the Legion constitution. preamble which pledges them “to foster and perpetuate Americanism.” Wampler, from Spencer, Ind. was strongly applauded. ~ The nomination for next, year’s national president of the Ladies’ Auxuliary of the American Legion brought out two candidates—Mors. Malcolm Dougals of Seattle and Mrs. A. H. Hoffman of Des Moines, Three states seconded Mrs. Hoffman's nomination and 12 that of Mrs. Dougals. “The American Federation of Labor, with its membership totaling more than 4,000,000 dues-paying men and women,” said Mr. Green, “remains steadfast and uncompromising in its opposition to communism, fascism, Naziism and. the different philosophies which all these ‘isms’ represent.” He declared that “agents” of “these subversive forces” were “assiduously at work attempting to undermine our form of government.” He pledged that his organization “will always stand as a barrier to their advance.” Strengthen Neutrality Act Mr. Green urged strengthening of
the Neutrality Act, and said that
A. F, of L. members felt that “our nation should follow a policy of strict neutrality and through such action avoid being invajved in foreign conflicts.” Mr. Green urged closer co-oper-ation between the A. F. L. and the Legion, but explained that during strikes, lockouts or other labor troubles, “there is always the danger that those not directly connected . . . may be drawn in and forced to take sides.” He said the Legion had adopted a “wise policy” of avoiding such controversies, and expressed the hope that it would continue to adhere to that policy. A new national commander, to succeed retiring Harry W. Colmery, of Kansas, will be elected tomorrow, and delegates were busy maneuvering in hotel room conferences: today to obtain backing for their candidates.

coal is now profitable, A. B. Kelley, Greensburg, Pa., mine owner, said. The coal control bill is not a precedent for the regulation of all industries, he said, but only for those which cannot pay adequate wages without Government regulation. No regulation will be necessary for industries which write contracts that leave labor contented, he predicted.
Security Law Explained
Albert A. Kuhle, Social Security Board assistant regional director, explained the workings of the social security legislation. Although the conference is to adopt no resolutions and all phases of thought are represented in its discussions, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan, leader in Catholic social
‘action programs, declared ‘last night
that specific action by individuals and the Government is urgent now. New York strike difficulties pre-
vented attendance at yesterday's
session of the Rev. Fr. John P. Boland, New York State Labor Relations Board chairman. His address was read by the Rev. Fr. R. A. McGowan, Washington, D. C. Father Boland wrote that he believed employer and employee organizations offer the best means for seeking the “living family wages” sought by the encyclical of Pope Pius XI. He approved the part of Government in assuring that such organizations would be formed and would bargain collectively.
Wage Question Analyzed
Father Boland warned, however, that Government might easily go too far in its regulation. He opposed prosecution for violating labor laws. The Rev. Fr. August Fussenegger, Indianapolis diocese charities director, pointed out that 1936 wages averaged about $22 a worker, less than the “living family wage” level desired by the Pope. “It will be necessary to adjust the work week until all employables
find a job, whether this seems eco-.
nomically practical or not,” he said. “Human rights supersede any property right. If earning power is not able to get an equitable wage, tragedy must follow. “Low wages also make necessary employment of mothers and children in industry,” he said. “Employment of mothers marks the beginning of a disrupted home,” he warned. “It is impossible to be a wage-earner and a homemaker ai the same time.”

Dawson Prepares Figures
Charles Dawson, Board member and Washington. Township Trustee, was preparing to furnish the Board with official WPA figures on the estimated work-relief load for the winter. This estimate, the Board said, might indicate that present direct relief estimates were too high. Direct relief expenditures for next year have been estimated at approx-
imately $300,000 more than for 1937. The 1937 Indianapolis Center Township levy amounted to 18 cents, 43 cents lower than the proposed 1938 rate. Chief Deputy Auditor Fabian Biemer said that for the first time all poor relief is peing placed in the county levy instead of depending on later bond issues.
Apparent Increase Explained
He said the decision to pay for poor relief ‘“as-we-go” is the reason for the apparent large increase. Mr. Book said he believed the poor relief estimate too high.

Criminal Syndicalism Law since its passage in 1918. Mr. Butash was convicted on charges of attempting to advocate overthfow of the Government by force. He was arrested in May, 1936, after speaking at a meeting of Angola businessmen and TriState College students.. ° Witnesses who testified against him in the lower court said they invited him to speak so they could trap him. According to the Court record, Mr. Butash spoke for five minutes and then answered questions from his hosts. He said he was in favor of a Farm-Labor party and said Congress “could be forced to take action on pending security legislation.” College students saved the naturalized Hungarian from the crowd after he was attacked, trial records showed.- Warned to leave Angola, he was arrested the next day, and was found guilty of criminal syndicalism in July. Mr. Butash solicited magazine subscriptions from Angola businessmen who, believing him to be a dangerous radical, planned his arrest, testimony indicated. The defendant denied he advocated overthrowing the Government by force, and said he was a staunch supporter of the Constitution. During the 1937 Legislature many labor groups and the American Civil Liberties Union led an unsuccessful fight to secure repeal of the Indiana criminal syndicalism aw. The Supreme Court did not rule on the constitutionality of the act.
