CROMWELL DEFENDS NEW
 YORK STOCK EXCHANGE


 New York, April I've want the pub lie to learn stil more about the New York stock exchange and about it's methods of protecting investments and investors" |" sail Seymour L. Cromwell, president of that institution, addressing a meeting of members and their partners today.
 Out of a total of more than three score firms whose failure have been an- nounced in the past four months, only three were members of the New York stock exchange. The peron tage of fall ures among the HOO of this exchange during the past ten years has averaged less than one-half of one per cent. of the membership. That means a small per centage of failure among stock exchange firms than among banks.
 President Cromwell said the govern ors of the exchange were about to put in to effect a plan for closer supervision by the exchange of the methods of it's own members. It has developed. hc, added. that few houses, through carelessness or on account of business pressure had failed to take off trial balances with sufficient ire quency and had thus. in some instances, permitted their affairs to become in volved. Under the new plan it will be compulsory for such houses to take off trial balances at least once a month and no excuse will be considered valid for failure to comply with this requirement.
 We hear a great clamor for the incorp- oration of the stock exchange" continued Mir. Cromwell. If the exchange were in- conqorated it's power effectively to disci- pline it's members would be gone. A mem Der detected in improper conduct could de lay the execution of sentence while he ap- pealed from court to court
 "The power of the exchange to deal with a corner such as that in Stutz, would be taken away. Its power to keep it's quotations out of the hands of those who would use them for bucket shop purposes would be at an end. And it's power to meet an emergency like that at the out break of the great war would no longer exist"
