liauidation from selling hands But tho
movement was prompt and conclusive
answer to the loud objections made to

The former plan may have been hard on
the bondholders in that they were asked
to surrender a portion OF their equity

pany in return for an assessment But
under the difficult circumstances the wis.,

as the best solution OF tho problem. At
any rate one feature OF the former ar
rangement made II comparatively easy
for the small holder OF The collateral
trust bonds. He was not required TO put
up any money TO preserve his interest In
the company unless he wished to DO go.

holders after obtaining the sole owner
