Government Regulation of the
Stock Exchanges Would Do
Harm, Declares Van Antwerp
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Feb. 5.-W. c. Van
Antwerp, a governor of the New York
stock exchaIsse, today told the senate
banking committee that the bill of
Senator Owen for government regula-
ton IF stoch exchanges would DO u1orA

primary market place
Disciplinary power Of the New York
exchar5e over its members, based on
'just and equitable principles of
trace" ne said, was a stronger re-
straint than could be provided BY any
law.
lie pointed out that to incorporate
the exchange would transfer the pow
er of government into the courts
where judicial reviews would displace
the arbitrary powers of the govern
ors.
Mr.. Van Antwerp declared the New
York exchange applied the laymen's
view of what was. just and equitable
urd was governed more by moral than
legal considerations.
If the exchange were to adopt the
regulations OF the Owen bill, he de-
cIared, thirteen billions Of stocks and
thirteen billions of bonds would i'm
mediateIy be Withdrawn from lists and
the exchange would cease to be a
market If Importance.
Mr.. Van Antwerp added, however,
that the listing of securities and that
organization, capitalization and floata-
ton of securities was a matter for
government regulation
''It is a duty that clearly belongs TO
the government he said, land the
government undertakes that great re-
sponsibility'
The stock exchange rule against
manipulation. he said, was more
sweeping and was administered in a
far more effective manner than any
thing that could be done by the post
master general. MIR. Van Antwerp de-
clared that the Owen bill would only
paralyze exchanges in the United
States and leave those in Canada and
Europe free to carry on business
He discussed at length the technical
provisions Of the bill relating to mar
ket practices and spoke of the pro-
vision that would bar from the mails
any newspaper containing a report Of
stock exchange transactions.
IF congress may exclude from the
mails newspapers containing perfect
ly truthful (although prohi hibited) re-
ports Of transactions upon an ex-
change" said he, there is no reason
that can see why congress cannot
similarly exclude newspapers contain
ing comments on the doings of the mi
nority political party or any other
matter which the majority III congress
might wish to withhold from the pub
lie. Fancy how pleased Col. Roose-
welt would be with that prohibition.

Secretary NcAdoo did not discuss
