EASY MONEY

This is a period of easy money
and stock speculation to those hav-
ing access TO the funds comes as
natural as gluttony to gourmet.
The up bidding OF stocks continues
undated and certain conservatives
are said TO be alarmed, fearing a
dire day of reckoning. Last week
mora than three billion dollars were
credited to the accounts OF brokers
cn stock and bond collateral, a vast
increase over any other period and
$3.50, 100000 in new bonds were o.
fered during the week
The claim is made that We are
immersed in a period Of initiation
The federal reserve discount rate
has been reduced to 3 IL per cent.
greatly facilitating the period of
easy money. II may be remembered
that in 1920, when the federal re-
serve thought it expedient TO dcflate
the postwar initiation. the discount
rate was advanced to per cent
and incidentally everyone knows
what happened.
Returning to the present, there is
another side to the picture. Every
one conversant with manufacturing
is fully aware that competition has
been intensified. There is less profit,
and what there is of il must be
fought for relentlessly Production
is onsiderably ahead of consump-
ton in most important lines and
sales managers are hard put to de-
wise ways to move products into the
hands OF consumers. Some indus
tries. In fact, are on part time.
But in the face Of all these evil
dences of returning to normally
after the 1926 boom year the up-bid-
ding OF issues continues lust as II
1927 were breaking all industrial and
commercial records. The federal re-
serve board. which some critics say
is political minded, has helped along
the good stock times through the
discount rate: indeed, when the Chi
cago federal reserve bank recently
declared conditions did not warrant
a further reduction of the rate from
4 per cent, the board forced such a
reduction, Why should II be so eager
to do this if the object were not to
enhance the outer appearance of
good times when a presidential year
Is Just around the corner? That, at
least is what critics of the board are
asking. Some go so far as to claim
that there is lack of warrant in
tile lSutldl reserve law TO warrant
such high handed methods as to en-
force reduction of the rate in a
district. But it is being done, and
the effect, rather than the right or
wrong OF it, is what is being dis
cussed.
It is quite easy to make stocks go
up If there is enough bidding; and
II there is a plenitude of easy
money at a low rate for the pur
pose the Job is certain to be done
brown. But the trouble il. like the
conservatives point out, what will
eventually happen if such tactics
are allowed to be contrary 70 the
real trend OF industry? It at least
should not be the business of the
federal reserve board to stimulate
speculation and initiation TO levels
not consonant with conditions as
whole.
