A WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

fFrom orr Special CoTresDondent.)
Washington Jan. 29.-There is a
disposition in Washington among the
admirers of former President and
Mrs Wilson that the Foundation
fund which they are raising to fur
tber the cause of world peace ought
TO include Mrs. Wilson as we'll as
her husband. Certainly no woman
has won greater admiration than
Mrs. Wilson here in the national
capital where her hourly devotion to
the ex-President has been closely
noted.
She never leaves him one second,
and sees absolutely no one but mem
bers of the family or his friends. She
has no interests or diversions Of her
own. Every moment is devoted to
her husband, and of course, no mat.
ter how much her respect, admira.
tion and affection may be involved
it has not all been rosy. However,
no one who watched Mrs. Wilson in
the hey-day of Americas triumph is
surprised by her present conduct
Therefore. in view of her self-abne-
CATION at Paris when she had the
world at her feet, no one need be as
tonished at her present devotion and
tender care.

the burden of proof Of any exemp-
ton claimed as defense shall be
upon the defendant.
This simplifies the proof in crimi-
nal prosecutions and in civil reme-
dial suits and follows similar pro-
visions in the narcotic drug act and
other similar acts. 1t is also pro-
vided in this section that certified
copies of the listing of securities on
stock exchanges or of the record of
their delisting, and of the approval,
nonapproval, termination, or cancel
lation of the right to sell securities
given under the official seal by the
securities officials of any state
territory, or district, shall, when
properly authenticated, be prima
facie evidence in any court of the
truth of the contents thereof.
Section IL provides that the at
tornty general shall, within a GER
tain time, compile and publish the
securities laws of the different
states together with all amendments
thereof for the use of the depart
ment of justice, and shall furnish
them to the various United States
districts attorneys, and, under such
terms, and regulations as the at.
torney general may provide, to any
other person upon written appli-
cation.
This provision was thought to be
necessary to the intelligent and
efficient enforcement of the law.
Sections 10 and IL express the
Legislative will as to the interpre.
tation of the act, in so far as con.
gress may by it's own express decla.
ration control such Interpretation
1t is declared to be the intention OF
congress that if any section OF
clause of the act should be held tt
be unconstitutional such decision
should not apply to other provisions
of the act. And it is further de.
clared that nothing in the act SHOULD
be interpreted as indicating an inten
ton on the part Of congress to null
lily, supersede, or otherwise render
imperative any state securities laws
now in force or hereafter enacted
but rather that the act should bt
construed as being supplemental tt
such state laws and not intended tt
deprive any state of any jurisdic

within such state.

with very great difficulties. The
increasing menace to society and
the resulting losses to the people
growing out of the flotation of
fraudulent and worthless securities
is recognized by all who have given
the subject any study. State gov
ernments charged with promoting
the welfare of their citizens, as well
as the bankers and the legitimate
investment brokers who handle
largely the greater part of the
country's business in legitimate Sc
curities, all recognize the prevalence
of the evil growing out of the sale
of fraudulent securities, and admit
the desirability of legislation to pre-
vent it. But the difficulty always
encountered has been to find effec-
tive means to suppress the evil with
! out causing greater losses by inter-
fering with and unduly obstructing
the free exchange and sale of sound
and legitimate securities. While the
loss sustained by the sale of fraudu-
lent and worthless securities
amounts to some hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually, that
amount is very small in comparison
with the many billions of dollars in
vested in legitimate and valuable
securities which should have free
and unobstructed commerce not
only within but between the states.
1t would not be wise policy to I'M
duly interfere with or obstruct the
free flow of valid and legitimate
securities in interstate commerce in
order to suppress the imposition of
comparatively smaller amount of
fraudulent securities upon the peo-
pie. But all will admit that legiti-
mate business may well be subjected
to some inconvenience in order to
stop illegitimate business.
The court aptly said in Merck
VS. Halsey & Co. GAP U. s., 587),
in speaking of this class of legisla-
ton: at burdens honest business
it is true, but it burdens it only
that under its forms dishonest bust
ness may not be DONE"
The difficulty of this problem
consists in this: To devise Legislation
that will go as far as possible to
suppress the evil of floating and SELL
ing fraudulent and worthless cor
porate securities without going far
enough to unduly interfere with and
retard or obstruct the vastly greater
amount of dealings in legitimate Sc.
curities which are absolutely neces-
sary to the economic and industrial
| life of the nation.
