criminate in prices between different
purchasers where the effect of such dis
elimination may be to substantially les
sen competition or tend to create a
monopoly in "any line of commerce."
The Van Camp Co. claimed that the
American Can Co. was selling its tin
cans and leasing its machinery for seal
ing the cans at lesser price to the
Van Camp Packing Co. than to the
George Van Camp g. Sons Co., with the
result that the two companies could
not compete on the basis of the quail
ity of their products and that the dis
elimination was tending to create a
monopoly in the Van Camp Packing Co.
The American Can Co. defended on
the ground that the words "in any line
of commerce" used in the Clayton act
meant in the line Of commerce which
the seller is engaged in, and that since
it was engaged in the manufacture of
tin cans, while the purchasers were en-
gagged in the packing of food products,
the prohibition against discrimination
did not apply in this case.
The District Court ruled in favor of
the defendants and the George Van
Camp g. Sons Co. appealed to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the seventh
circuit. That court certified the ques-
ton to the Supreme Court of the United
States.

NEW YORK. May ~.
ECLlNING security prices
nut through the ordeal of
~ fire the new fashion OF
buying common stock for invest
ment purposes.
Prior to the recent bull cycle,
conservative investors regarded
stocks as media for speculation
and bonds as suitable vehicles for
Investment. The term "specula-
tive" was designed to describe
the vlcissitudes OF common shares
in the tempestuous sea or ever
changing prices. The older doc.
trine emphasized that stocks have
downs" as well as ups" and
there was widespread recognition
that speculative stocks were some
what too unstable In their market
behavior for persons OF trail
nerves. limited financial expert
ness and slender means. Bonds
we've the fare dished out by Wall
street chiefs for widows. orphans
and maiden aunts.
Common Stock
The new fashion OF regarding
common stocks az the best media
for long term investment sprang
I'M during bull market days. ana
the supporting arguments of It's
sponsors were exaggerated many
fold by the insistent upward trend

level OF common stock prices was

While the boom psychology per-
sisted, there was q disposition to
forget that common stocks are
also potentially shares in depres-
sion-when, as and II 1t occurs.
The recent downward trend or
security prices bumps the new In.
weston against the wall Of financial
realities. The purchaser Of COM
mon stocks for long-term invest"
ment purposes must realize that
as a buyer and as q seller at any
given time he must compete with

make a trading profit, irrespective

ing at times when speculation gets
prices far in excess Of present val

The Bull Theory
Conversely, he also seeks to steel
himself against selling Mt n time
when prevailing nervousness or
temporary strain in the money
market induces weak marginal
holders to dump their holdings on
the market and to depress prices
irrespective Of fundamental eco
nonic values.
The bull theory Ii that over q
period of years shares in the best
managed companies In funda-
mental industries tend to become
increasingly valuable. Though
that is doubtless true for well Sc
lected companies in favored In

uninterruptedly upw ard. The
country frequently takes one or
two steps backward before con.
