VAN SNERINGEN
OFFERS NEW
MERGER
By HARRY WARD

IN the 2puDilC interest,".
This move to take the whole sub
ject of, railroad consolidation out
Of the realm of executive conferv
ence and place Il directly before the
commission for action, was made
by the Van Sweringen lines, with
the Chesapeake and Ohio as the
applicant.
The Baltimore and Ohio made a
similar move late yesterday.
What They Want
The Van swerihgen petition asked:
To hold that the grouping or unl-
fication of the railroads named viii
be in the public interest.
To make necessary orders for
ACQUISITION. or short lines, which,
in the opinion of the commission,
should be included in the proposed
Van Sweringen system.
To make necessary orders from
time to time to enable the appli-
cant to acquire such railroads as
the commission finds it in the pub
lie interest for it to acquire.
To indicate what must be done to
secure the commissions approval
of terms and conditions, If the conl-
mission is unable or unwilling to
approve such acquisitions as 1t finds
in the public interest.
To retain jurisdiction of the ap-
plicant for enlargement, moditica-
tion or amendment, in order to carry
out such a grouping as the com
mission will find in the public in
terest.
The railroads involved in the ap-
plication which are already under
Van Sweringen ownership-manage-
ment are the Chesapeake and Ohio,
Hooking Valley, Pere Marquette,
Nickel Plate and Erie. The Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburgh it was
explained, was not included because
under the four-party plan that road
| is allocated to the Baltimore and
Ohio and the New York Central.
These to be Added
1t is proposed to add to the Van
Sweringen group in their entirety
the following roads: Wheelin.; &
Lake Erie; Chicago & Eastern
| Illinois: Nirginian; Delaware. Lack
awanna & Western; Bessemer &
Lake Erie; Pittsburgh & Shawmut,
and the Pittsburgh, Shawmut &
Northern.
1t is further proposed that the
Van Sweringen group shall have a
one-fourth interest with the New
York Central. Pennsylvania, and
Baltimore & Ohio in the following,
which are classified as bridge or
terminal lines:
Delaware & Hudson; Lehigh &
New England; Lehigh & Hudson
River; Montour; Pittsburgh, Char
| tiers & Youghiogheny; Charters
lSouthern; Monongahela; Pittsburgh
& West Virginia least of the Ohio
River). and the West Side Belt in
Pittsburgh.
It is also proposed that the Van
Sweringen group shall have half
| interest with the Baltimore & Ohio
lin the Detroit & Toledo Shore line,

PUBLIC Opinion
IS CRITICAL
Of FINANCE
BY B. G. FORBES

Public opinion is functioning
unusually actively. This Is proved
by the number OF comments lately
received by this column.
Two subjects head the list:
Speculation in stocks, especially
the action OF the Federal Reserve
Board; and the ; treatment OF
workers by corporations.
Perhaps 1t is natural that every
person who caught the speculative
fever should feel angry at the re-
serve board for attempting to ar
rest the continuous expansion of
borrowing by stock market opera
tors at the expense Of other bor-
rowers. Had nobody lifted q finger
to stay the stock boom and the
mounting absorption OF available
credit by brokers, what would the
final. upshot have been? That
question is avoided by those who
were eager only to have the mar
ket continue to go higher until
they cashed in their easily won
profits.
The temper of large section OF
the public can be deduced from
the following:
One reader writes:
I'm 1920 | lost a fortune of more
than 500, 900 because the Federal
Reserve Board suddenly decided
that credit used in commodities
had to be curtailed.
Now hundreds of thousands OF
people encouraged to buy stocks.
lose their fortunestbecause the Fed
eraI Reserve Board suddenly raises
a ruckus about the credit situation
and speculation in stocks.
''T hold that the Federal Reserve
Board, IL 1t Is worth a pinch of
salt. should see to 1t that such
situations do not arise in the first
place. In the second, If they do
arise, they should have brains
enough to bring about correction
gradually and without the noise
and fluster that accompanies these
corrections.
These two points, 1t seems to
me, are the kernel Of the whole
subject, and the Federal Reserve
Board should be made to repent
in sackcloth and ashes for the
money they cause innocent people
to lose through the unstatesman-
like policy they pursue"
The Washington times., 1929-02-20

one-half of which is now owned
by the Nickel Plate and the other
half by the Grand Trunk.
In furtherance of the plan the
Van Sweringen group asked for
trackage rights ranging in length
from 10 miles to ia miles over va.
rious railroads in which they viii
not shave an interest.
Under the proposed plan the mile.
age of the Van Sweringen group
would be 1926 miles under owner
ship or lease, together with track
age rights. over S5S miles. making
in all system Of 1918 miles. Fhe
capital investment would be about
81, 500, 200, 900.
The petition said that the Van
Sweringens were not proposing. at
this time, the terms and conditions
on which these railroads would be
acquired, but propose to have the
two questions consider ed one at a
time.

RUKEYSER ASKS
SPECULATION
LAN CURB
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

fCODyright, 1890 BY Uniyersal Ser
vice. Ine.l
1 NEW York, Feb. 2O.--Faith in
legislation continues unbounded in
some quarters, and Congress Is
now agitated with the possible
need for new legislation to check
speculation.
The mere threat of easy legis-
lative remedies served to en-
phasize the abnormality of the
present speculative position. to
which the Federal Reserve Board
has devoted its attention with re-
newed energies.
The problem of dealing with
excessive use of credit for specula-
tive purposes is largely an admin
istrative one. Thus far, the Fed
eral Reserve has been reluctant
to use all the power 1t now pos
sesses under the law. An amend
T1ent in the act, permitting the
Reserve banks to fix restrictive
rates, would better enable the sys-
tenn to deal with recalcitrant
member banks by boosting the
rates to them to very high levels.
Other Checks
Another check on credit expansion
might be authorized through
changes in Reserve requirements,
especially in respect to, time loans
In which there have been abuses.
But patent medicine laws forbid
ding speculation are unlikely to be
effective as long as the institution
of private property continues.
Flux is inherent in the nature of
things, and speculation is an at
tempt to make profit out of such
fluctuations instead of blindly sub
mitting to them. Speculation gives
.optimists and pessimists an oppor-
tunity to back their views with
capital, OF course, the present set
up makes it easy for amateurs to
back up half-baked and second
hand notions witk three-quarters
borrowed finds, multiplying the
force of warped judgment.
German Experience
In 1896 German legislators be-
lieved that the evils and excesses
OF finance could. be eliminated
through statutory changes. The
act, which was passed in response
to agrarian revolt, among other
things forbade short selling and
marginal speculation. Twelve
years later, after the futility of
such maneuxers had been demon
strated, the main features of the
act were repealed. Mussolini is in
Producing -omewhat similar restric-
tions in Italy at present.
. One German law provid ed
against security transactions be.
tween unregistered parties. But
since only about 400 persons took
the trouble to register, brokerage
houses took chances in dealing
with unregistered persons. some
of whom, later standing on the
technicality Of the law. welched
on their contracts.
