Comment
on Business
By BoERsIANER-

II cannot be reiterated too strongly
that the decentralization of yesterday
and the unsettled condition OF the
stock market the latter part of last
week were due directly and absolutely
to the inability OF stock brokers TO
borrow money other than at exhorbi-
tant rates, IL, indeed, they were able
to get money at all. As IS per cent OF
the stocks held on margin (specula-
tive accountsl are financed with call
money, IL follows that the lack of such
accommodation compels liquidation.
Not that there is a scarcity of
money in the country. For CONNER
cial and purely financial purposes
there Ia suffciency. But the Gov
eminent tspecifically, the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the members of the
Federal reserve board) and not a few
Eastern bankers decided that the
stock and other markets and company
promoters were absorbing too much
of the nations credit were. they
claimed. unsettling the commercial
structure by their acquisitions on the
money market. They, therefore. re-
solved TO curtail such credits. plainly
put, they are making IL so difficult for
the elements mentioned TO borrow
money that the only recourse is liqui-
dation.
No Longer CoseeaIMeat.
There is no longer coRcealment OF
the purpose. Both the Federal board
members and New York bankers
frankly acknowledge they are holding
the purse strings against the stock
exchanges, especially. The Federal
officers began by requesting bankers
to curtail such credits, and. as an
q fhety inf -.
discount rates at the Federal banks.
TEey could not command non-Federal
bankers to refuse loans to stock
brokers, since the Government has no
legal right to enforce such action. But
they are in a position to make IL un-
comfortable for bankers who are
members of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn should the latter be unamenable
to moral suasion.
1t happens, however. that-the atti-
tude of Federal bankers is shared by
eastern bankers. This was con-
firmed by meeting recently held and
attended by both sides. method of
procedure was then outlined. which
Is in effect, with the noted results on
change.
Not AweIisrstive.
Patiently the Federal reserve sys-
tenn is not ameliorative as regards
the stock exchange. When call money

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--Demo'
cratic senators will accept rescrFa-
tions to the peace treaty only rs

ministration spokesman, declared 10
day.
At the same time Hitchcock said he
supposed" he would have to accept
reservations in the end IL there is
no other way to get votes for ratIti-
cation.
Hitchcock's utterances follow the
stand by President Wilson against
all reservations, which was express
ed at Omaha in Hitchcock's home
state of Nebraska.
Hitchcock, however, repeated lf1s
belief that reservations as part Of the
ratification resolution, are not favor
ed by the majority OF democratic
senators, who he declared, are stand
ing with the president on the pact.
Hitchcock said he was not worried
by the attitude Of several democrats
who have come to the belief that
reservations are unavoidable.
Beat the amendments rs my slo-
gan now," Hitchcock sa1G.
While democrats are ''fishing" to
see how much they may nave 10 con-
cede, the Lodge group and the mild
reservastionists" among republicans
are reported to be approaching
settlement of their differences over
the reservation to article ten.
