SITUATION VIEWED
ASLESS CRITICAL
Rebound in Wall Street on
'. Feeling That Issues Will
Be Met.
EUROPE'S CREDIT NEEDS


Wall street drew its breath q little
more freely today. The sadly mixed
conditions, strikes. demand for gov
eminent ownership Of railroads and
other matters of nature to cause
uneasiness seem less exacting and
trouble making, while the optimism
of the American, always at q high
level, asserted itself In q broader
market, with many sharp recoveries
in prices.
The motor stocks and the shippings
were favorites, while the steels did
better, some of the bears soaring
easily and running to cover under
the apparent improvement in sentt-
ment.
The street feels that Congress and
the President will cope with the sit
uation, while the sound financial po-
sition Is one of the chiefest factors
In steadying sentiment.
The public has a good sense OF
values and is not disposed to saeri-
fee holdings, although brokers are
traders to GO slow and protect their
transactions with large margins.
Even the railroads showed q decid-
edly better tone, reported to be based
on Director General Hines plans for
a conference with Brotherhood repre-
sentatiyes.
The change in sentiment as COM
pared with Monday or even yesterday
is very marked, indicating the belief
that settlement of all problems Is
a possibility of the future.

Y have been deeply Impressed by

concerning the critical condition of

country must act and act quick

but also in its own interest, be-
cause of the extent to which we are
involved in their affairs and the alb
solute dependence Of our prosperity
upon their rehabilitation. Unless the
United States can dnd foreign mar
kets for its present highly stimulated
production there viii inevitably DO a
