TO emerge from the storm.
cellars, appraise the damages
analyze the results and peer
as best it can into what the
immediate future holds.
Three aspects of the situation to
day particularly engaged the atter
ton Of the legislative and execu'
tive branches of the Government.
Speculative Curb Planed
I. AS result of the crash,
which followed an extended period
OF high, wide and handsome public
speculation, it is now considered
certain that a real effort will be
made in the approaching regular
session of Congress to place curb
on speculative activities. Several
Senators are working on legislative
methods to accomplish this. Among
them is Senator Glass CD of Nir-
ginia, former Secretary of the
Treasury, who faVors the instltu'
ton of a special tax, say per
cent, on stocks that are turned over
within a 60-day period.
g There Is real concern felt at
the Treasury and in administration
quarters generally over the enor-
nous shrinkage of governmental
itol hi will
from the collapse of stock prices.
Billions of anticipated profits have
been wiped out. and this will auto
naitcally be reflected in income tax
returns.
3. The Democrats are going to
make as much political capital out
OF the calamity as they possibly
can. with an eye to next wears
congressional elections, and the ma
tional election of 1882.
Administration Blamed
Evidence of this latter activity
was forthcoming today when Sena-
tor Joe T. Robinson, Democratic
leader of the Senate, came out today
with a statement in which he laid
a ma jor share of the blame for the
collapse directly at the door of the
Coolidge Hoover administrations.
Robinson gave fair warning that
the Democrats are going to shout
from a thousand stumps in next
years campaign, "Where is your
prosperity now"
1T" said Robinson, "the founda-
tion of the belief of ruined investors
was faith in the strong position of
American industry. it is also true
that the prophets and high priests
of American prosperity, represented
by no less personalities than a for.
mer President of the United States
(Coolidge), the Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, and a former
Secretary of Commerce (Hoover) now
President, contributed, by unduly
and repeated optimistic statements,
to the creation of enthusiastic If not
frenzied ventures in stocks.
The good faith of these gentle
men may not be impugned except
in so far as their zeal is justly at.
tributable to the desire for that
partisan political advantage which
is so often derived from rAal or
fancied business conditions.
Had the Democratic party been
in power when the stampede on the
stock exchange occurred, the ruinous
results would have been charged by
Republican leaders to financial
policies of the administration"
