Not one of the really big serious
men OF finance would advise anybody
to invest dollar in speculation at
this moment, with peace coming.
Jacob Schiff, Judge Gary, Adoplh
Lewisohn, any one of the big bank
ers, would say to the little man,
Don't let the gamblers deceive you.
Keep your money in your pocket.
Peace is here and there must be re-
adjustment of values, and great
caution"
The reply of the administration to
the stock gambling accusation ought
to be interesting. Unfortunately. it
will not make easy the path Of big
American manufacturers, captains OF
industry, who will soon be in Wash
ington begging for tariff protection
against the European competition
that they will claim will immediately
start now that the war is over.
Those who contemplate any flyers
in Wall street Just now should look

get burned-keep your money and
stay away from stock gambling-for

UNLOADING ON THE LITTLE
FELLOW.

The big stock gamblers are might
lily peeved against President Wilson
and his peace activities-in fact
they are so peeved that they are
would not do to get back" at the
president-and it all comes from
the fact that President Wilson did
not see fit to consult them and give
them the chance to unload their war
stocks on the little fellow, before the
little fellows knew that peace is
really comm g-and that is now the
same as here.
The peace message that the presi-
dent sent to Europe was one that the
whole world applauds. The secre-
tary of state explained that condi-
tions had become intolerable and
that we not only asked, but demand
ed peace.
This aroused the gamblers so thor
oughly that they at once sent to all
of the newspaper Offices the state
ment that the administration is gam
bling in stocks-it is needless to say
that these accusations were anony-
mous-as might be expected.
AS it was the accusation was suf-
troduced in congress requesting that
stock gambling by higher admins
tration officials be Investigated.
1t will be interesting to see what
reply the administration makes to
the suggestion that peace should be
delayed to suit the convenience of
the big stock gamblers who want an
opportunity-peace having taken
them by surprise-to unload their
war stocks on the public.
That peace is here-that the war
is over-these big stock spectators
well know They realize that the
closing of the japanese, Stock Ex-
change expresses the opinion of the
Japanese government, which is one
of the allies, and knows whether
peace is coming or not
But these big men of the stock
gambling world feel that their inter-
ests are more important than peace,
that the president should consult
their gambling operations and not
interfere with them, and they openly
accuse his administration.
1t is to be hoped that small in
restors will not allow themselves to
be deceived.
