Answer-The Tribune, for the last
year or more. has tried to warn its
readers that the shares sold by II. V.
Nreene are not investments, YET in
qul1les like yours continue to come in
ana the man apparently is selling
lot of the stuff. We have contended
that is not safe for a company to tie
up Its assets in second hand automo-
olles, and that it is not wise to put
money into company where the d.
rectors, not under banking supervision,
can 40 practically whatever they please
with it. We hope that the Greene com
panlcs and their stockholders will come
out all right, but partial confirmation
OF our fears already has come from
Eostcn, where the receivership Of the
MASSACHUSETTS, Motors Company has in
NN''cu l"O W III" NrPeno rnGnCc COM
panlcs. The report of the stockh holders
committee says that "it was found, in
several instances, the management had
been remiss in not supervising more
carefully the collateral pledged as Sc
curity for loans. 1t was found, es
pccially in the case Of the Commercial
Finance Corporation, that one of the
companies to which it had lent consid-
cradle money, the Massachusetts Mo-
tors, Inc, had sold large number of
cars without applying the purchase
price against the notes which the cars
secured. Certain other business losses
were discovered in each Of the two
companies" That is one side Of the
Greene idea. 1t is one working of
financial democracy-the kind glowing
~ described by a stock salesman to a
workingman who saves $40 a month
There is plenty of real financial democ-
racy in this country for you when you
can buy Liberty bonds with your $500
and add to your holdings with your
savings, regularly. You can buy other
investment bonds and stocks in the
same manner from brokers who adj
vertise in The Tribune. Our advice
to you is to let the Greene idea alone.
