The following editorial comment on
the Wall Street situation was assembled
by the Associated Press:
New York Evening POst-The feel
ing" is better. This is the news" OF the
stock market situation. It Is important.
The situation, as the bankers confer
ence said in effect, is aS much based on
feeling as on anything else. There Is
no doubt that the tension of feeling Is
leSsened here in Wall Street. Wall
Street, since Thursdays break. has be-
come acutely conscious of the West. 1t
was the belated Western selling that in
tensified the last hours of Thursdays
break. Western selling was a clear in
f1uence yesterday. Had there been
quicker price transmission to the indus
trial heart Of America, We believe that
great part of the sales rush might have
been averted.
New York WOrld-What can be said
and what very much needs to be said
is that, however sour things may look to
individuals at the moment, the country
has not suffered a catastrophe. Its
power to produce wealth is unimpaired;
its power to consume wealth Is unim-
paired. There will be many cases of
individual hardship but no hardship like
that which is almost normal in other
countries. In very large degree the
present excitement on the Stock EX-
change is concerned with gamblers
change of fortune in the distribution OF
the surplus luxury money. The Ameri-
can people has been gambling furiouSly
but it has been gambling largely with
the surplus of its astonishing prosperity.
No doubt If fear and panic were per-
mitted to get going the effects might be
felt on the wages and profits of business,
but there is no reason why they should
be allowed to spread, for 1t is as true
today as it was on September l that
America has reserves of wealth and
economic power the like of which man
kind never has seen.
New York TimeS-The country's
credit facilities have been frightfully
mishandled by the reckless Wall Street
spectators, but at least the visible signs
at the crucial moment do not indi-
cate such spread of spectacular reaction
from the Stock Exchange into trade
and industry as almost invariably our
old time panicS. What will be the sequel
in trade which may have been stimu-
lated through purchases by an Army of
spectators with paper profits now scat
tered to the winds it Is useless to con-
lecture. But If present indications are
fulfilled, sound and conservative indus
try will not be shaken as it used to be
on such occasions.
New York American-Bewildere be-
cause of a confused situation in the
stock market, many intelligent people
have been throwing overheard the
soundest commercial securities in the
world at half or less than half of
their intrinsic worth. Unthinkingly
they have been throwing away for
tunes. It Is time for the sensible Amer
lean people to stop and think. This is
the time to buy good securities. 1t is
perfectly ridiculous to sell them.

u, S. Press Comments on Crash
Sound Economic Structure of Nation Is Expected Stand
mistaken by Bursting of Speculation Bubble in
Market, Majority of Newspapers Believe.

The person who looks around now for
investment opportunities at bargain
prices will find them in fields other than
the stock market. Long neglect has
created a vacuum in some places and
by the very nature of things this
vacuum will be gradually filled in the
coming months.
Brooklyn Eagle-The financial houses
have thus far borne with remarkable
tirmness the ordeals to which they have
been subjected. The inevitable losses
incurred by thousands of persons whose
confidence in upward speculation, as IL
turns out, exceeded their Judgment, are
lamentable but could not be helped for
the simple reason that no movement
in speculation can live indefinitely on
enthusiasm. 1t is to be hoped that
credit in the financial community will
remain sound, that any further liquida-
ton will continue orderly and that nom
holders of shares will soon make up
their minds at what levels these war
rant purchase on the basis of sound
judgment.
We then shall be able to judge what
damage the reverse to shareholders has
done or may do to other financial and
business interests. An orderly market
will serve greatly to reduce such
damage.
Chicago Herald and EXaminer-The
Stock Exchange has become the bargain
counter of the world. 1t is difficult to
believe that financial shoppers in this
country and abroad will not take adj
vantage of the low prices at which
the very best of securities are selling.
Although losses suffered by the pub
lie have been enormous, group of
investors, numbering thousands, escaped
uniniured and is now ready to take ad-
vantage of the break.
Thus is presented in the richest coun-
try in the world, with the most remark
able record of continuous prosperity
in history, a. bargain counter on which
are offered shares in ownership of the
rich industries that have led the way
to progress in modern civilization"
The Kansas City Star-In a series of
editorials printed in September the Star
called attention to the precarious con-
dition of the stock market and to the
heavy burden imposed upon industry
and upon the farming West by the
excessive concentration of credit on
Wall Street
Now that the inevitable defiation
has come, business conditions remain
essentially sound with expanding de-
mands throughout the world With
