American Can

A revival Of buying activity in Amer
lcan Can was attributed yesterday to
an increase in business expected to
result from the Federal Reserve Boards
inclination to favor substantial loans
to the canning industry Every so often
reports are heard Of new pool having
been formed in Can, but judging from
past obse rvations it has been difficult
TO ATTRACT a public following in this
stock. Perhaps thi. has been due TO
the fact that outside followers of the
market, who have been induced TO buy.
have had little opportunity to make a
profit on their purchases.

The Magic of Par

The magic of par is now recognized
by bond men,. The public has shown
bonds offered at 100, as against lower
coupon rate bonds offered at discount
to give the same yield Logically, the
latter bond has the advantage of re-
duced tax payment during the near
years Of high tax rates. But bond
statesmen have perceived the public pre-
judce for high coupon rates and en-
courage it by pointing out that such
bonds offered at par are likely 10 go

Report Tobacco Deal Revived

Statements that negotiations have
been under way for the purchase Of the
French tobacco monopoly by leading
tobacco interests Of the United States
we're not news to Wall Street. Early
in the year George J. Whelan, the
dominant figure in the United Retail
Stores organization, went abroad with
the avowed purpose of negotiating With
the French government for it's control
of the tobacco business in France, but
it was understood that little progress
was made, owing to the high prices
asked by the French. This obstacle, it
was said yesterday, is still the prin-
cipal stumbling block to consum-
nation Of the deal. 1t had been re-
ported early in the year that France
stood out for $4,000 100000, which the
American negotiators regarded as ex-
cesslve. Now comes the mention of a
price of $4O0,000,000 by the Whelan in
terests, which are said to include
Thomas Fortune Ryan and James B.
Duke. Mr. Whelan declined yesterday
to comment on the latest report of a
deal with the French

a disappointment to those who had ex-

The fact that there was little change
from the week before was due to the
neavy increase IN redscounts by local
member banks. 1t remains to be seen
whether the expansion in rediscount-
ing was due almost wholly to the large
financing connected with the mid-vear

EDITORIAL.

This paper does not seek or invite con-
troversy. This, of course, does not imply
that it believes controversy is always to
be discouraged; to the contrary it is quite
eften useful, and sometimes even ne
cessary. But owing to the fact that
locally little attention is paid to logic and
sound reasoning nowadays. and people
are for the most part led away by biased
opinion. it seems practically a waste OF
good white paper to set up arguments
against which a bitter prejudice is re-
ligiously preached, and practlsed. How
ever. for the benefit of those who may be
interested, it is perhaps of some import
ance to. explain that each and every
newspaper is within its bounds In pub
fishing news notes, and in giving space
to public comment as may relate to such
news. Such action does not necessari-
" indicate that the newspaper ap-
proves or condones the sentiment so dis
played, although If there $ good reason to
take sldesin matters OF popular interest,
it is proper to do so. An instance now,
in mind is the news note relative tc
the number of factory hands having been
decreased through causes among winch
are mentioned strikes and high cost OF
labor. Any person OF average lntelll-
gence knows that that news, like all other
news, was based upon information from
somewhere, comment from some source;
and it may be added, good sources. The
Herald gets to work and assuming that
the factory authorities are responsible
for it, secure their word that they had
no connection with it, SAID the

with the matter anyway? But 1t does

strike thinking people that since the Her
aid was so interested it might have ascer-
tanned from the factory authorities
whether there was any truth IN the re
port. We would have been gratifi ID to
copy and give publicity to such ali an
swer. That would have been more sensi-
BILE than to come out with a c~anaoafage
denial which might deceive some people in
to concluding that the factory authorities
had refuted the report, For our part we
do not perceive <hat the people are ne
cessavily maligned by the report even If
true. They are entitled to strike when
conditions do ~notcsuit them, are they
not? They have likewise full right to
demand what wages they will work for,
and if the concerns by which they are
engaged do not find it profitable to con-
tinue business on conditions satisfactory
to the laborer, then the concerns are at
liberty to shut down. That a nan de-
mands a wage which the returns of the
business he engages in-does not allow,
does not decidedly imply that the de-
mand is unWarcantable.4 And il il should
result in that man being dismissed from
work he does not necessarily become an
object Of criticism and contempt. The
position of this paper in the matter is
misunderstood, or wilfuliy misrepresent-
ed by those who have. the christian
generosity and charity to abuse their fef-
iow-men or use any mean trick to achieve
their w sinister designs.
