disturbed by it. 1t was not a conSe-
Quence of any impairment OF these con-
ditions, which have never been more
favorable than they are at this time.
There is no present indications that any
banks or any important business cor
poration have been seriously injured
If at all, and, while it IS probable that
there are individual concerns that have
been caught up in the wave of specu-
lation and have suffered disaster. they
are not likely to be many in proportion
to the whole, nor will their losses affect
general conditions.
The st. Louis Post -DiSpatch-Since
the stock market never did represent
anything better than chance, it is not
reasonable TO suppose that the mis-
chance of day is going to make 1t very
much different. There is always plenty
of chance.
The Chicago Daily NewS-There IS
nothing in the latest antics of the eX-
changes that requires modification OF
the views expressed last week by Pres
ident Hoover and the Treasury Depart
ment-namely, that business conditions
in the United States are baSically sound
and that the trend of industry and
trade is likely to continue upward.
The widespread liquidation is not
traceable to any substantial changes In
the demand for or the supply of COM
moditieS. The violent liquidation is
the sorry Sobering-up process which
had to come sooner or later.
The important thing is for the pub
lie to maintain confidence in the future
of the Nations economic structure. For
such confidence there Is abundant
warrant.
The Chicago Evening POSt-Good
stocks are worth just as much as they
ever were, basically, but even dividend
yields are being overlooked i'll the mad
rush to unload by a once Stock-avid
public. Bonds are coming back into
popular favor as an investment medium
and are likely to become more SO II
present conditions in the market
persist.
The country is TOO big and too active
in It's demand for materials to permit
any serious basic decline in its in
duStrieS.
st. Paul Pioneer Press-Surely some
responsibility for the debauch of specu-
lation with its consequent disaster to
thousands of small investors must be
assumed by the Nations leading finan-
cial institutions, for 1t is they who have
sponsored the flotation of huge issues
of new stocks. There has been an alb
sence of sound financial leadership on
the part of the great banking groups Of
the country.
On the other hand, it probably is safe
to say that the major portion of market
operations by the public in the past
year or two was accomplished with less

Gates that professional and amateur
spectators refuse to be impressed by

The Louisville Courier JOurnal-There
is nothing fundamentally unSound be-

been overdue, as the logical result OF
excessive speculation, which has push

which in many instances were artificial.

out serious injury to the country or to

The Louisville Herald -POst-While
Wall Street was getting rid of its weak

The Baltimore Sun-The stock mar

many forces, most of them transitory,
and all of them combined incapable

The task of unraveling and weighing
all of these forces, which in all their
fury did not touch the MAIN
springs of prosperity, is one that will
occupy specialists for many years. An
aspect of the crash, however. that is
perfectly obvious to any one who reads.

a consistent postwar Republican policy
of pumping artificial StimulantS in the

Each year more and more mothers
turn to VickS VapoRub, the modern

Originally designed and first used
