GENERAL FORWARD
SWING IN STOCKS
Urgent Covering and Heavy
Rebuying Carried Whole List
Up Swiftly

New York, Dec. 31.-The year closed
with broad and buoyant stock market
today, with advances ranging from
TO more than points in the leading
shares of both the railroad and indus
trial divisions. The wider gains. in
fact. were scored by the more specu..
lative issues, which suggested liberal
covering of actual short contracts. There
was in all quarters of the list also con
siderable rebuying on the part OF those
who had previously sold for the purpose
of establishing losses for income tax re-
turns. In brief. the demand at all times
was far in excess Of the supply, which
kept prices pushing steadily forward
during almost the entire session. AT
the same time there was continuation
OF the heavy trading in bonds. both on
the floor of the exchange and over the
counter as well rs in the outside market.
Only a few stocks moved against the
general upward current and the mo-
mentum OF the rising tide of values be-
came so vigorous as the day progressed
as to sweep them upward with the rest
of the list. Comparatively few cash
transactions were made to establish
losses for income tax returns for the
expiring year, thereby giving further
proof of the completion of these trans
actions, which were estimated to have
been approximately from 60 to 80 per
cent of the recent heavy selling move
ment.
In 90 far as news or developments
were concerned little developed over
night or during the morning to effect
the market sentiment much either way.
AS a matter of fact, because of the
pure technical caliber Of the dealings
the days movements, while interesting
and highly encouraging from a con-
structivc point, could be described as
entirely cOorless Individual feature
was entirely lacking because of the
uniform nature of the movement. The
industrials supplanted the rails in the
leadership, although the latter con-
tinued to hold strong position.
The upward swing started almost at
the outset, with the rails and equip
ments and scattering spccialties hold
ing the front of the line. Atlantic Gulf
was once more the most conspicuous
exception, opening at fractional loss,
which soon was increased to 1 points,
or Il new low record at Il y.
Oils, equipments, motors, Coppers,
tobaCcos, textiles and feathers became
increasingly active and strong during
the morning. Mexican and Pan Ameri

liberately, however, the rise among in

its loss and Nanadium was strongest

ARTICLE TEN MAY
BE ELIMINATED
Plan at Geneva to Cut Out Of.
fenSive Paragraph.
MANY MEMBERS FAVOR MOVE
Delegates Said to Approve PROPOSAL
Interpretation of the Clause by
the Swiss Delegate Is Cause
of Agitation.

Geneva, Dec. REPRESENTATION and
adoption Of a resolution eliminating
article ten from the covenant Of the
League of Nations before the end Of
would occasion no surprise here, it
was declared in some quarters.
Assertions were made that Thurs
days decision of the committee on the
admission Of new states, which held,
in effect, that the article does not
guarantee the territorial integrity Of
any member of the league, represent
ed the view of a majority of the
delegates at the present meeting.
This Interpretation and the post
ponement of the consideration of GER
tain changes in the covenant were
the principal topics of conversation
here
Rejection of these changes, which
were proposed by Scandinavian coun-
tries, were said in noWise to prevent
consideration at this session of any
other amendments. N. w. RoWell,
Canadian delegate, brought this out
clearly by questioning A. ]. Balfour
of Great Britain.
lnterprets Article 10.
The Interpretation of article 10
was provoked by the proposal of Giu-
seppe Motta Of the Swiss delegation,
who asked that if the present status
Of Austria was changed, VOrarberg be
permitted to join Switzerland. The
text Of the Interpretation follows:
eve cannot recommend the adop-
ton Of the proposal put forward by
NJ. Motta. We are indeed Of the opin-
ion that the entry of Aus
tria into the league will in no
way prejudice or affect the ques-
rion so raised. We cannot help add
ing that the suggestion that admission
to the league should have any such
effect appears to arise from a miscon-
structiOn of article 10,
at cannot be too emphatically stat
ed that article 10 does not guarantee
the territorial integrity of any mem
Der Of the league. All q does is to
condemn external aggression on ter
ritorial integrity and the political in
dependence Of any member of the
league and call upon the council to
consider what can be done to resist
such aggression"
Adopt Blockade Plan.
A definite plan for use Of the eco
nomic blockade against members of
the league breaking the covenant was
unanimously adopted by the subcom-
mission on blockade.
The members Of the commission ex-
pressed the belief that the plan would
give the league very effective Weap-
on against offending members and do
much to prevent international dis
putes from developing into actual
wars.
The members declared themselves
confident that the scheme would be
ratified by the full commission and
later by the assembly Of the league.
Details of the plan will be published
in a few days, it was announced.
A public session of the ornaments
commission will consider the plan.
The general committee Of the League
Of Nations assembly met to fOrmu-
late plans to speed up the work of the
assembly with view to it's compile
ton by December 10 or II. Sir Eric
Drummond, the general secretary, said
he thought it impossible to complete
the unfinished business before Deem
