Washington, March 4 R,-The break in the stock market IS not re- tgarded with alarm by Secretary Mellon, who believes it is the natur- al reaction Of excessive speculation. Ircasury's Views Outlined
 The sccretary's views outlined to- day at the treasury, are that the reaction will have wholesome ef- feet, and that Fundamental business i conditions and prosperity will not be disturbed, He regards the slump as an inevitable evening up process. f feeling that where prices run to ex- 1 tremcs, setbacks are in order. Slumps and booms follow each other. the secretary holds, until d normal position is found. In all per- iods of prosperity, he contends, tenn lporary setbaCks are natural. The present fluctuations in the stock markets, he believes, might be re- garded as more extreme because of the large volume of speculation, but he docs not consider them any more permanent.
