CHECK ON REDS
PLANNED IN
BRITAIN
Home Secretary Asks Power
to CurtaiI Liberty of
Speech There
BY r. A. WRAY
International News Service

LONDON, Oct. 24.-New legisla-
ton to put check on the activities
of Communists will be one of the
first tasks of Parliament In the
forthcoming session.
This legislation will not be con-
fined to a single bill. 1t will entail
the ALTERATION Of any number Of ex-
listing statutes.
The main clause Of the new bill
will make 1t criminal offense to
advocate or attempt 1.-The alteration
OF the constitution" by any other
than electoral means.
The government believes that a
measure of this kind would meet
with general support and would
not create serious opposition in
Parliament. The cabinet is par
ticularly anxious that the new bill
should not be regarded as party
legislation.
Home Secretary Sir William
JOHNSON Hicks proclaims that
although he has ample powers to
deal with Communists from abroad,
yet the homegrown variety, un-
der present legislation canno be
interfered with. For this reason
he could not arrest Saklatvala when
he wished. The proposed new law,
If passed, would give him all the
powers he wants.
The present law on seAtion is
also likely to be altered. At pres
ent it is both ancient and cum
berous. The JOHNSON Hicks section
Of the government now wishes TO
make the delivery of seditious
speeches at street corners punish
able by the ordinary police magis'
trates.
But the whole question bristles
with difficulties. Neither the Labor
party, as a whole, nor the Liberals
have any sympathy with Commun-
ism, but they would fight strenu-
ousiy any legislation introduced by
the Fascist section of the govern
ment which would interfere with
the liberty Of speech.

Ticker Runs Behind on Ava

BILE in Street

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Industrial
stocks in the New York stock mar
ket rushed upward to record high
prices today, in one of the most
active and spectacular periods with
in the memory of the present men,
bership of the stock exchange. Such
was the confusion on the floor of
the exchange that reports were
current of a bear panic" at some
Of the important trading posts.
AS in the last few sessions, the
pace of the market was so much
beyond the physical facilities of the
exchange that the ticker dropped
back 10 to is minutes in the first
hour. United States Steel common,
appearing on the tape at 129, was
being sold in a wild scramble at
1870, the highest price in history eX-
cept for a brief period in 1907,
when the stock mounted to 1868
General Motors, which declined
Monday to 131, was back to 1874 to-
day, and going strong" under an
avalanche of buying orders. Cast
Iron Pipe, Baldwin Locomotive and
other high-priced Industrial leaders
jumped to the highest levels on the
movement.
Mexican government bonds adj
vanced from l to points as re-
suit of the adoption of the new plan
for liquidating Mexico's bonded debt.
Profit-taking in motor and In
dustrial stocks resulted in moderate
declines near the close of the ses-
sion, but there was no repetition Of
last Saturdays overwhelming sell
ing movement. The independent
steel and copper stocks retained
most of their new gains, while
utility stocks, under the leadership
Of North American, spurted near
the close.
Strength and activity in Mexican
government bonds, following the
bankers announcement that Mexi-
cos debt paying would be re-
sumed, was the outstanding feature
of the listed bond market today.
The irregular AIS sold up nearly
points to %, the small AZ of 1910
gained points at 28K, large As
of 1910 at 305s, up 2; SIS of 1945 up
IL, at AZ; large IS of 1888 at 43,
up IL. German Government IS
returned to 101.
Industrial and railroad bonds
were active today, with prices
steady, particularly in the prime
bonds and convertibles. Traction
bonds were also steady.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The mar
ket started like a whirlwind today,

BEER GUSTS WHISKEY
AS DRINK OF SCOTSMEN

GLASGOW, Oct. 24.-Beer is fast
ousting whiskey as the Scotsman's
national drink.
The reason is said to be because
of the high duty upon whiSkey,
which makes it's price almost pro-
hibitive in the eyes of a Scots
man, and so the hated English
mans drink is increasing in favor.
The change is likely to lead to in
creased unemployment In Scotland,
for many distillers are thinking Of
reducing whiskey production by
% per cent in order to reduce the
heavy stocks now upon their hands.
