FORBES WRITES
ON LOANS
VIEWS
BY r. G. FORBES

The bulk of the $4,000, 600 900
of brokers loans in Wall Street
do not represent credit but actual
capital lent, not by bankers, but
by corpora tons and others not
needing 1t for the present in
their own business.
Ten, Is and 30 per cent call
money rates have been caused by
the futile" policy pursued by
the Federal Reserve Board.
The Federal Reserve law should
be brought into harmony with
Americas economic revolution by
making stock market securities
eligible as collateral to borrow (by
rediscounting) from the Federal
Reserve banks.
II Reserve Board members do
not prove competent, they should
be replaced.
These statements are contained
in an extraordinarily comprehen-
sive speech made last night by
President e. H. II. Simmons of the
New York Stock Exchange at the
annual din ner of the Chicago Stock
Exchange. =
Mr.. Simmons claims that Ameri-
can banking, as constituted when
the Reserve Act was passed, does
not fit the revolutioniZed condi.
tons existing today. Business
then was done largely through
commercial borrowing from banks.
Today commercial borrowing Is
ralc lively unimportant and Amer'
can business has become so pros
porous that 1t has surplus billions
to lend. Small business units have
given place TO large business units
financed by issuing bonds and
stocks made available to investors
through stock exchanges--the mar
ket value of listed securities on the
New York Stock Exchange is now
over $114,000 900 900, an increase
of $54 200. 000, 900 having occurred
during he four years 1883.
Inevitably, stock dealings have
increased. Also, says Mr.. Simmons,
the tremendous enhance in our ma
tionaI wealth and our industrial
and business efficiency have ineVi-
tably meant better stock prices.
Here are some of his more
striking statements.
IF the transactions on our
stock exchange are illegitimate
then every purchase and sale
throughout American business Is
also illegitimate.
Brokers loans do not promote
gambling"
81 challenge any one to point
out to me a single class of trans
actions in which any commercial
bank in this country has ever
engaged. that did not involve
speculation"
For at least two generations
call loans made to stock ex.
change members on stock ex-
change collateral have proved
the safest method of investing
money known in this country"
TT Is thoroughly absurd to
rejoice in our present-day ma.
tional industrial prosperity and
at the same time to bewail the
size of the very stock market
loans which have played so vital
a part in financing it,"

Something remarkably like 9 damn escaped the adjutant's grim ly set mouth. He drummed impa- tiently on the window pane, and for the hundredth time reviewed the case, in hope that he might sec some tiny loophole which would save the captain.
 The whole trouble started from the fact that Captain Freddie loved his wife and she loved him. Daily the military postman trundled back and forth the little missives of af- lection between this pair of lovers one in France and one in Lon don. Those letters were wonderful helps to love-lorn couple. Still, it wasn't like seeing each other; 8 jolly long way from it.
 But war is war, and~ love doesn't enter into it very much. Men must fight, and women must stay at home and wait. Stern military law forbade the wife of any fight ing man from joining him in the war zone, even in the back areas where it was quiet. Tine penalty for violation of this law was court martial and disgrace for the man.
 It was a funny sort of law, too on analysis. For Q soldier might make all the love ne wished to any woman other than his wife. Wives only were barred Of course, sev- eral million wives at the front would have presented something Of a problem to G. T. e. That was the military point of view, and the military viewpoint is notorlously lacking in sentiment.
 Mrs. Captain Freddie didn't know much about military law. She only knew that she was awfully lonesome for Freddie. It was enough for her that she wanted to be with him, without worrying her pretty head about the brass hats" at c. H. e. And so. one day she wangled trip to the war zone,

with the Red Crossers, or some similar workers. She headed for Freddie and she found him in Amiens. He was the same old Freddie, too. It was good to see him.
 But aften the first greetings were over, an uneasy thought began to run through Captain Freddies mind. He wasn't an officer in His Majesty's forces for nothing. He knew the law and realized the dan- ger of having his wife with him. He said nothing about his misgiv- lilgs to his sweetheart, though. She was too happy. He couldn't spoil 1t all So he sat tight, and showed his white teeth in the infectious augh which had indeared him to the officers mess and to his men.
 The adoring Mrs. Freddie loved that laugh, too.
 They had a wonderful two or 5hrce days together, Tor Amiens while full of troops, was fairly quiet and they found good accommoda- ticns in hotel Finally Mrs Freddie kissed her captain goodbye and packed off for London, happier than she had been in many long months of separation.
 Then Captain Freddie faced the music. Arrest Court martial. No possible defense that he could sec A sentence to be cashiered And at last the papers had come up to c. II. e. to the adjutant for the formality of signing. All this ran through the adiutant's mind as he stood disconsolate by the window, wasting time over hope less situation.
 "Damn!" he muttered again, as his fingers played their staccato roll on the glass. And to think that had it been any other woman in the world besides his own wife,

there would have been no charge against him.
 Suddenly the adjutant's fingers halted their impatient drubbing. And gradually a grin spread itself over his face. He hurried over to his desk and reached eagerly for the pen which he had thrown down so willingly a few moments before,

THE ADJUTANT's DILEMMA
By DeWITT MACKENZIE

A
 Copyright, 1929, Associated Frass)
 For more than an hour the ad iutant had sat at his desk in Brit ish general headquarters, Some where in France" with reluctant pen poised over the findings of the court martial which had cashiered Captain Freddie.
 It was the business of the adiu tant, as representative of the high command, to pass final judgment, and he was having trouble. It was most unusual circumstance for him to be stumped. He was ad- iutant because he was efficient.
 Moreover, this was an open and shut case. On the face of it there was no earthly reason why he should have delayed even five minutes in putting his O. K. on the papers before him. And still the pen, from which ultimately must issue that fateful message, remain d suspended in air, it's point weav- ing little circles of indecision.
 The adjutant finally threw his pen down in despair and walked over to the window. Before him was a lovely stretch Of emerald countryside; off there somewhere to the west the big guns were vomiting out their missiles of de- struction. But he saw neither the beauty of the immediate vicinity nor was he thinking of the hell oyer in the distance He was pondering the case of Captain Freddie.
