curities outright he said. #
When he learned of the Bethmann-
Hollweg speech, Baruch said, he was
in the office of another firm negotia-
ting the purchase of some securities.
II did not buy 'em," he said Il
went back to my own office and be-
gan to sell everything I had"
He explained that the technical
situation of the market was bad and
that he sold steel because cit was
practically at the top" .,-
1.-THE technical situation was bad"
he said, "but the Bethmann-Hollweg
speech was the principal reason I sold
and that speech still hangs like a pail
over the situation"
Were you watching for peace?''
II knew when peace came it was
going to raise the mischief in the
market
Baruch went into detail as to his
stock market operations. On Dec.
IA, he sold short 1000 more shares,
bringing his commitments up to 49,
900 shares.
On Dec. Is the market broke and
he covered by buying in all but III,
900 shares. He had gone short, he
said, at a round 1913 and covered at
an average of ITO.
On Dec. 6 he sold short again A.
600 shares and on Dec. 10, went
short %, 400 more. On Dec. 20 he
covered 1900 shares, reducing his
short account to $500.
Between Dec. 10 and 90, his net
profit in the market was $476,16S.47,
he testified.
Touching on his December 10 deals,
'Whipple asked Baruch If they were
affected by any information from
washington regarding the administra-
tons attitude toward peace.
Absolutely no." he replied
Baruch said he had anticipated the
Lloyd George speech replying to the
German peace proposals on Dec. 10.
Il felt that it would be just what
1T turned out to be, that it would leave
the door open for peace
Baruch was asked if he considered
his operations at this time large.
He Has Done Better.
"Oh, they were fair operations, but
I've had larger he replied.
Then followed a general denial by
Baruch that he had any communica-
ton with any one in Washington
about the time Of the presidents note
in regard to Baruch also said he tried
to call Paul M. Warburg over the
telephone during this period but
failed.
He never talked over the telephone
with Secretary Tumulty or discussed
the. peace note. The story he had
breakfasted with Tumulty in the Bilt-
more hotel, he said, was "moonshine"
There is one fact in connection
with this whole matter has been over
looked" Baruch volunteered. THAT
is that the Japanese than whom there
are no cleverer in the world, took
steps to close the stock exchange i'm
mediately following Won Bethmann-
HoHWegs speech" This action,
noted by Baruch on Dec. Is, increased
his desire to sell, he said.
THE Japanese market was similar
to that here" he said. They don't
let them sell short over there though"
A rumor, which Mr.. Whipple said
had come to the committee, to the
effect that Baruch, sometime during
October, November or December had
dined with count Won Bernstorff and
Mr.. White and Charles S. Sabin, a
New York banker who early in
October predicted a peace move was
denied by Baruch.
