FEDERAL BLUE SKY LAW

Financiers engaged in the Notation of new stock issues have been annoyed and hindered by the var iety of Blue Sky laws existing in different States This has caused confusion in meeting the varying requirements and delays in getting the before the public. Simplicity in State often results in the completion of the Notation there before detailed requirements can be completed in another
 While these endorsements being met and adjusted in States having such laws the financing of wholly legitimate projects has had encounter the competition of illegitimate otaions in States which have no laws regulating the issue of securi- ties, and where the public is left wholly the mercy of the investment world
 Recognizing the need of a better regulation of the Gotation of securities through uniformity of laws. which it has not been possible to secure from the States crusade started some time ago, in- dorsed by the American Bankers Assomiaton and by the Investment Bankers Association of America Congress. It places the control all offerings of securities in the hands of the Attorney General of the United States. If enacted into law it not only Will put a damper all fake stock schemes in States that have not fit act any regulatory laws, but will confer legitimate flotations an approval and qualification of genuineness that will give them equal standing in each State of the Un- ionx
 There is as much need of the Federal regulation ana protection asked for in the Vosead bill as for the supervision of issues of railroad securities conferred by the Esch- -Cummins act It is for the better security of the investing public.

The Fascination of Hoover

(San Francisco Argonaut)
 Much may be said for MT. Hoover as Presi- dentia possibility. His powers of mind are large and finely disciplined He has the scientific dis tinct from the political method of thinking. He comes promptly to definite judgments, and in his administrative activities he ignores other than tial considerations. He is of the people, but not in the that he is unctuous palaverer and cheap flatterer of the moods and whims of the day Individually he has nothing gain from public office from the Presidency, since at the point of established position he stands in the front rank of the worlds gallery of fame. There is certain fascination in the thought of MT Hoover in the Presidential office that he distinctly apart from the ordinary of politicians The country is tired of the many evils and abuses of politics in recent years carried to costly and demorazing cesses. In the view of many Mr Hoover is the Presi- dentia office would tend to restore that happy dition, long in the background, when the mind of statecraft busied itself with the public welfare in contempt of the interests-and of the trivalities- of partisan politics

TT WOULD BE FUNNY

If Hoover should be nominated for President by the Republicans it would make some of those Sen atorial partisans who have found much complaint with the League of Nations and the action Pres- dent Wilson in asking for Democratic Congress
 in 1918 look extremely foolish Hoover is for the League of Nations and has announced that he will support the party that stands for it in 1t is made political issue He, in a letter to Frederic E. Coudert also urged the country to elect Demo cratic Congress in 1918, and advanced the same reasons for so doing that had been given by Pres- dent Wilson. However American people are not taking much stock in these days of the attitude or appearance of professional politicians.

RESTORE HAMBURG'S
POSITION As PORT
Agreement Between German and
American Shipping Companies
May Mean Opportunity.

Hamburg, July 19.--The agreement
between the Hamburg-American Steam
ship Company and the American Ship
and Commerce Corporation, by which
former German trade routes are to be
opened to American shipping, is regarded
in financial circles here as one OF the most
momentous events for Germany since the
war. In it Germans see an opportunity for
Hamburg to re-cstablish semblance, at
least, of il former position as great port.
Wilhelm Cuno, general manager OF the
Hamburg-American Line, said that the
agreement must not only be considered
from a business viewpoint but must be
regarded as trial at re-establIshing food
relations between the two countries.
Where the German line will secure ships
enough to enable it to operate fifty per
cent of the vessels on the routes to be
reopened under the agreement is sub
ject of keen speculation here. According
to best information il will be able to lease
many in neutral countries and from Great
Britain.
A huge shipbuilding program is con-
templated by German lines and there is
talk of importing American steel.
On the lower end of Hamburg harbor
n new shipbuilding plant which it is said
is destined to be the largest In Europe
is nearing completion.
