accepted most Of the established ira
ditions of property.
We remain, / say, still largely ig-
norant of the true quality of the
Kuomintang. Three-quarters of the
| information we get from China is I'M
trustworthy on account Of its com
mercial or Anticipated bias. Obviously
the Chinese want to secure a free
hand in the control of their own polit-
ical and economic life, to levy tariffs
according to their needs and ex-
tinguish the injustice of extraterri.
torial rights, and as obviously these
simple and reasonable aspirations are
deeply resented by the inadaptable
Europeans who have lived in and
prOf1ted by the old regime. But in
spite of the manifest eagerness of a
large section of the Western press to
make capital. out of any outrage upon
Europeans in South China, they have
had very little to record. and on the
other hand, the tale of European VIC
ence against the Chinese is a heavy
one.

been so busy in recent years shooting
away the links of confidence and good
feeling that hold together the British
Empire in Ireland, in India and else

time out of bounds in China. He has
blazed away at unarmed professions
of students and shot into crowded
towns. The English illustrated papers
have offered us the most damning
evidence of obstructive junks rammed
and sunken and of the general high
handedness of British procedure
Since the bolshevist government is
still useful bogy for American and
European scaremongers, the Kuomin-
tang is declared to be hoshevist in
origin and sympathy. This is just
the common abuse natural in the sit
uation. The Kuomintang seems to be
quite unencumbered by the Marxist
dogmas that still clog the feet Of Rus
sian development. It Is probably a
decade or so more modern and flexible
in its ideas
Our illustrated papers have pub
lished photographs of kuomintang
leaders grouped with Borodin and
other bolshevist representatives in
support of the red" accusation. But

Directly we turn to their origins we
note a wide difference. New Russia
is the creation of the Communist

Marxists. 1t was a cosmopolitan party
with more than half a century OF in
surrectionary and revolutionary ac-
tivity behind 1t before it secured
power. 1t was party of antago-
nism to the current system: 1t cap
tured Russia as a war-shattered ruin,
and for a time it showed itself very
poor in constructive ideas and eco

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Original Price No Guide.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

There is another factor that enters
into the problem of whether or not an
investor should dispose of a security
the price of which has had a sweep
ing advance since he originally pur-
chased it. In the preceding article it
was pointed out that if this advance
was in response to changes in gem
eral market conditions it would be inn
possible to reinvest on any better
terms once the paper profit had been
accepted
Even If the gain In market va!ua-
ton rests upon some special condition
affecting one particular stock or bond
it is still a question whether sale is
indicated. The advance may simply
show that the security has been under
valued in the past and is now reach.
ing its true level. 1t may foreshadow
some favorable development yet to
come, In any event the market will
not be governed or influenced in any
way by the fact that any one investor
has a profit.
There is only one way to meet the
difficulty and that is to sit down and
without regard to the price originally
paid or the matter of profit or loss on
the transaction, If money is cheap
and commodity prices are falling, in
vestment securities OF the first grade
are almost sure To advance. If the re-
turn on the security is on a parity
with that obtainable on others in its
class there Is no reason for selling.
Next the outlook for the industry
represented should be considered.
When commodity prices are falling
railroads and public utilities are put
in a stronger position relative TO in
dustrials. Only when the decline in
prices goes so far as to bring about
Industrial depression generally do the
rails and utilities suffer. With the
industrials the situation is a little
different and each case must he de-
cided on its merits The main thing.
however is that the price originally
paid by the investor is no guide to his
action now.

STOCK EXCHANGE FLOOR
ALTERNATES PROPOSED
Extension of MeeSbers' Privileges
for Representation in Trading
Now in "Round-robin" Stage.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORE. March 16.--An amend
ment extending the privilege of the
floor of tl/ New York Stock Exchange
to alter1ates for members is proposed
in an unofficial letter sent to mem
bers of the exchange. Under the plan,
alternates. who would be admitted to
the floor only, on the absence of the
members they represent, would be
assessed a registration fee OF $1,000
and a monthly fee of $1,000. Under
the present constitution, only mem
bers of the exchange are permitted to
trade on the floor.
While the project is still in the
round robin" stage, it's proponents
contend that it would add to the
revenue of the exchange, while
simultaneously reducing the dues of
the members.
Only partners of stock exchange
members would be eligible to designa-
ton as alternates after passing re-
quirements of the membership COM
mittee.
