man proposal. which Is said to be
ready for presentation to France is
pronounced. AS to what Its terms
actually are can only be guessed at,
but If it is true that it contains a
definite assurance that Germany will
bind herself not to make war on
France for at least three generations,
it may have the effect of removing
some of the French fears. Any pro-
posal Germany may make, however,
will require some security. Germany
is not only financially bankrupt, but
she is morally bankrupt besides. 1t
is doubtful if She can ever live down
the statement that a treaty is only
"a scrap of paper" and France Will
want something more than her own
assurances that she will agree to
keep peace for at least three gem
erations, for it may turn out that
even this promise is only scrap of
paper. If it were possible for Ger
many to give to France that assur-
ance, so that it could be relied upon.
it would undoubtedly have a ire
mendous effect upon French fears.

No Substantial Basis For

Editor, New York Commercial
SueciaJ DiSp0tch - The Accelerate


NEW YORK, May Following
the heavy selling which marked the
final hour OF trading Monday, to-
days stock market opened with tre-
mendous activity. most of which was
on the selling side. The turnover in
the first two hours was almost mill
lion shares. but later in the day it
slowed down s. that the total sales
were only Slightly IN excess Of one
million, two hundred thousand. Dur
ing the forepart of the session some
low prices were established but
while the recovery was not sufficient
to overcome the losses, it practically
wiped out the declines in the rail
stocks, although the average for the
industrials, represented loss Of
about one point for the day. The
break in the market has been a sub
stantial one. 1t is still considered to
be largely a technical reaction, be-
cause there is at present no sub
stantial basis for a reaction. Margin
calls had great deal to do with
the heavier selling in the earlier
part of the day, but apart from that,
it was due to psychological causes.
There is fear of buyers strike, and

As matter of fact. conditions,
which forced the buyers strike OF
1920 are not a parallel to present
conditions. The situation at that
time was brought about by contin-
uation of high prices, and the at
tempt on the part or retailers to I'M
load their high priced inventories
on the public. The buying power no
longer existed because war wages
were at an end. Unemployment was
getting under way and buyers struck
because they had to. At present.
inventories are not excessive, and
generally speaking, there Is no in
