FOSDICK QUITS POST
IN NATIONS LEAGUE
Embarrassed BY Failure of America to
Join-Resigns to Avoid any

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Raymond
B. Fosdick, under secretary general of
the league of nations and American rep
resentative in the league machinery SO
far, has resigned. Mr.. Fosdiek an
nounced his resignation in a cable to Sir

which he said:

to tender my resignation.

attention during the term of Mayor

Some Eminent Shoes In the

Hard for human beings to see very
far ahead-even fnanciers. Not so
long ago bankers believed automobiles
would become a drug on the market
and when William C. Durant wanted
to buy the Ford Motor Company for
eight million cash, he couldn t raise
the money in Wall street. Well, the
1920 automobile output looks like three
million cars with signs of still more
wanted, and the Ford Company is
worth about forty times its value ten
years ago

as a passing craZe-sure to 90 to the
wall Producers were given the loud

But now-look for the motion picture
quotations along with steel, railroads
rubber and such. The Goldwyn Pic
lures Corporation, to cite only one in
stance, has interested the du Points and
the Chase Securities Company. 100000
sshares are to be sold.
The movies, as a new security, have
arrived. When you invest today in
Charlie Chaplin S shoes or Mary Pick
ford S ringlets, veteran bankers do not
necessarily regard you as in need OF
institutional restraint. They are more
apt to commend you for your astute
