Tries to Maintain
A Natural Market

There is frequently beard the word
responsibi bility" used in connection
with criticisms of the Exchange for
wide swings III prices that take place
on its board. After a security is ad-
mitted to dealings the Exchange does
have responsibility in regard 10 it.
and this responsibility has never been
lodged or denied. 1t is responsibility
ot using its utmost endeavor to keep
that security free from improper
manipulation Or any artificial in
fiuepces that would tend to interfere
with the free play of those complex
forces that sway mems minds in their
opinion OF the present and judgment
of the future that lift them in hope
IN one minute, TO plunge them TO
despair the next
The Exchange brings the weight Of
its years Of experience to bear upon
the problem Of protecting the invest
ing public in the character of issues
that are admitted to dealings on its
board and in the integrity of the con-
dition Of a free market"
Thoughtful criticism and helpful
suggestions are welcome. But it is
respectfully urged that critics of the
listing policy" Of the Exchange first
famlllarizes themselves with that
policy.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-02
Fraudulent Issues Can't
Get Through Net

Remembering that a corporation must
be seasoned (be able to show at least
one years earning record) and that
notice of its application is posted on
receipt in order to afford the l,1O0
members an opportunity of communi-
eating to the exchange any knowledge
they may have of the corporation, it
becomes almost unthinkable that any
corporation conceived with fraudulent
intent could ''get by"
Now, what, if any, relation exists be-
tween all this and prices? Price"
says Hartly Withers, "is ultimately
question of what people think about
things, and this is why the fluctuations
in the price of Stock Exchange securi-
ties are so incalculable and often so
irrational.' Now, what people think
about things is based on their in
formation about those things" The
exchange accordingly endeavors with
every means at its command to make
available correct and comprehensive in
formation as basis of thinking"
There it must stop. The public must
do its own thinking and make its own
prices. 1t would be the first to resent
any abridgement Of it's right to do so
and the first to discipline any body that
presumed to usurp these functions,
New-York tribune., 1920-02-02

for listing until it is sufficiently dis
tributed to insure a broad market. The
committee must be satisfied in every
phase of the necessarily long prepara-
ton and numerous conferences prelimi-
nary to application that good faith and
candor and earnestness Of purpose un-
derlie the enterprise. The faintest evi-
dence of fraudulent intent would at
once disqualify an applicant. 1t is hard
to conceive that any company intend
ing to deceive the public as to its af-
fairs could successfully fool the corps
of experienced examiners through
whose hands 1t must emerge with an
absolutely clean character before it is
submitted to the board of governors
of forty men elected to their position ON
account of their reputation for integ-
rity and their knowledge Of business
and finance

'SA PAiNCS IdIl on the New YOrk
stock Exchange chorus of criticism
IS directed at that institution. It ham
pens at the moment that this criticism
takes on singularly incoherent form
and runs something after this fashion
Speculation carried certain stocks so
absurdly high that their subseonent
decline forced liquidation in sound
securities. Therefore the Exchanoe
should exercise more care in admittinc
securities to listing. Now, it would be
difficult to invent u more glaring nom
sequitur Clearly the impression is
strong with these critics that the list
ing committee should only launch on
the board securities equipped with
some inherent price stablizers which
would automatically steady them
through financial storms and Industrial
disturbances.
This same confusion of thought
coupling the question of admissibilitv
to listing with the price making

somewhat differently.

SIMS BETRAYS TRUST
Declaration of Daniels In Con-
Guiding Testimony.
Regrets Recommending Life Rank For
Admiral Against Whom He
Lists Complaints.

Washington. Attacking Rear Ad-
miral William S. Sims as a man who
could not be given post of trust, Sec
rotary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
completed his defense in the naval
awards controversy.
Daniels told the senate subcommit-
tee that he never would have recon-
mended Sims for promotion to the per-
manent rank of admiral had he fore
seen the developments in the dispute
over naval awards.
He made the following complaints
against Sims:
That Sims, according to Represen-
tative Byrnes of South Carolina, de.
clared the armistice had to be signed
because General John J. Pershing's
system of supply had broken down.
That Sims, according to Byrnes, said
the United States should leave the sea
o Great Britain, "refraining from seek
ing commercial supremacy thereon"
and concentrate on developing the
western hemisphere.
That in recently published articles
Sims cast ''gratuitous reflection" on
the Irish people.
That Sims disclosed his own version
Of confidential instructions given him
as he was about to sail for London.

MENACE TO FARMERS
Barnes Says Gronna's Bill Means
Wheat Slump.
Would Be Direct Reputation Of Prom
lse Made BY Congress To Pro-
ducers for 1919 Crop.

New York.-Julius H. Barnes, Uni.
ted States wheat director, has made
public a letter to Senator Gronna in
which he terms the latter's bill for the
repeal of the wheat guarantee act and
the abolition of the grain corporation
as a direct reputation Of the pledge
made by Congress to the wheat pro-
ducers for the crop of 1919.
Senator Gronna's bill, which has
been favorably reported by the Senate
: ricultural committee, repeats all
government control over the price of
wheat and requires the grain corpora
ton to wind up it's affairs without de-
lay.
Mr. Barnes asserts that at time
the trend Of prices, Senator Gronna
apparently feels such confidence in his
own judgment that the farmer will
benefit by the withdrawal Of govern
ment sterilization that he would i'm
mediately take from the wheat produc-
or the protection of the billion dollar
guarantee, which Congress has pledg-
ed itself to give until June l.
The wheat director gives warning
that by abolishing government support
Congress may precipitate still fur
Their decline in the prices of wheat.
even below that OF the guarantee
price. He adds that "only the most
colossal egotism would presume to
forecast the course of price in the
face of the worldwide settlement.
which within the last few days has
wrecked the United States export
trade by total collapse, of overseas
I finance"
If Congress should repudiate it's own
!, pledge to the farmer Mr.. Barnes adds,
the possibilities Of depreciation in val
ue after the withdrawal of the govern
ment guarantee are such that 6,0O0,-
900 farmers will ask Congress "by
what right it repudiated the pledged
national guarantee, on the underlying
foundation of which the influence Of
supply and demand had built an aver
age premium Of 80 cents bushel."

Former Crown Prince In Message
to Wilson Says He Will Sur
render to Allies.
WILLING TO Be VICTIM
ment In Place of goo Germans
Whose Extradition Has
Been Demanded.

Washington. - Frederick William
Hohenzollern, former crown prince of
Germany, in a cablegram received by
President Wilson, offers to surrender
himself for trial by the Allied govern
ments in place of the 900 Germans
whose extradition has been demand
ed.
His message was sent from Wierfn-
gen island, Holland, and similar cable
grams are understood to have been
forwarded to the kings of England,
Belgium and Italy, the emperor of Jap
an and the president of France. The
message to President Wilson follows:
ITO the President of the United
States Of North America, Mr.. Will
son, Washington.
"Mr. President-The demand for de-
livery of Germans of every walk of life
has again confronted my country, Sore
~ tried by four years of war and one
year of severe internal struggles, with
a crisis that is without precedent
in the history of the world as affect
ing the life of people. That a gov
eminent can be found in Germany
which would carry out the demanded
surrender is out of the question; the
consequences to Europe of an enforce
ment of the demand by violence are
incalculable. Hatred and revenge
would be made eternal.
"As the former successor to the
throne of my fatherland, am willing
at this fateful hour to stand up for
my compatriots. If the Allied and as
ISOLATED governments want victim
let them take me instead of the 900
Germans who have committed no of.

country in war.
