The feud between New York bank
ers and the Controller of the Cur
rency has broken out afresh. 1t is
very unfortunate that such con-
troversies should be started at q
time when there is urgent need for
unity Of purpose and action on the
part of bankers and administrative
officials, in order that our financial
resources may be fully mobilized for
war and for the economic readiust-
ments that are likely to follow the
var. Disputes of the sort that have
taken place lately must tend to re-
tard that coordination which the

The new requirement, which
means IN very many cases
brokers will demand heavier mar
gins from their customers, should
have an important stabilizing effect
on the market in the uncertain
times that lie ahead. 1t sometimes
happens that what might be merely
serious reaction becomes a panic
as thinly margined accounts are
dumped overheard on a falling mar
ket. The increased requirements
will do much to strengthen the
market position in that respect, and
the action of the money committee
may in the end prove to be a bless
ing in disguise, even from the Wall
Street point of view. That it will
prevent the diversion of credit
from essential uses to the uses Of
speculation is practically certain,
always assuming that the recon-
mendation is rigidly enforced.

Finance Economics
WALL STREET OFFICE: Telephone
Mills Building, is Broad ST. Hanover 6Si4

While the results of a single
days trading cannot be accepted as
a fair test of the effectiveness Of
the recommendation of the money
committee in restraining undue
speculation, the action of the mar
ket yesterday indicated that the inn
pending increase in the margin on
loans would be sufficient to prevent
a headlong bull market such as the
authorities evidently had feared.
The volume of trading decreased
materially, not so much, perhaps,
because of the increase that has
already been recommended as be-
cause traders are loath to operate
on large scale with the threat of
further increase hanging over
their heads. Continuation of ac-
tivity on a scale approaching that
witnessed in the last week or ten
days might be possible for a time
under the new loan margin require
ment, inasmuch as many brokers
have enough free capital to carry
their customers, but the possibility
Of another increase discourages the
speculator.

Friendship


A great writer has said, at is bet
ter for a woman to fill simple hui
man part lovingly, better for her to
be sympathetic in trouble and to
whisper comforting message into
one grieving ear, than that she
should make path to Egypt and lee
ture to thousands on ancient Thebes."
| used to think that friendship
meant happiness. have learned
that it means discipline. Seek how
we may, we shall never find a friend
without faults, imperfections, traits
and ways that vex, grieve or annoy
us. Strive as we will, we ourselves
can never fully fulfill the ideal of us
that is in our friends mind. We in
evitably come short of it. To have a
true friend is to have one of the
sweetest gifts that life can bring; to
be a friend is to have solemn and
tender education of soul from day to
day. A real friend may praise us
and we are not embarrassed; he may
rebuke US, and we are not angered.
If he be silent, we understand. 1t
takes a great soul to be a true friend
Ia large. steadfast and loving spirit.
One must forgive much, forget
much, forbear much
Let us be true to our friends and
then believe that they are and ever
will be true to us.
