TAKES ISSUE WITH PERKINS
Governor OF Stock Exchange op
poses Federal Control.

New York, Oct. 22.-The European
war has proven a conclusive reason
why the New York Stock Exchange
should not be Incorporated. according
20 William G. Van Antwerp, one OF
the governors of the exchange.
Van Antwerp issued a statement In
reply to George w. Perkins and Sen
ators Poindexter and owen, all three
of whom have urged that the ex
change be not permitted to reopen
except under government control.
Had the New York Stock Exchange
been Incorporated when the war com
menced." said Van Antwerp. amy per
son with an Interior motive coult
have sought an injunction.
Even the granting OF a preliminar,
injunction, which would have kept
the exchange open for the shortest
time in which such injunction can be
dissolved, would have precipitated an
economic tragedy in America. Hun.
dreds of innocent persons would have
been injured beyond recovery"
