Whether or not they take full adj

Their progress, these first few years,
has been exceptional. in view of their
wholly retired state for so many hum

their civil rights are concerned, have adj

Fe SerGl Trade Commission
The time is drawing near when
Congress and the public are going
to consider the old problem Of
preventing the periodic waves Of
stock market losses which afflict
us. Every so often we go on a
spree Of "stock gambling" and
many Of US lose our savings
When we sober off we try to fig
ure out what was the matter
Congress has appointed q com
mittee to hold hearings.
For awhile there is great ex'
citement over "short selling q
money trusts" "stock gambling, y
cts. Generally, we get nowhere
I wonder If we may not profit by
experience this time and make a
little real progress toward a wisel
handling Of speculation?
OF course, many wild and un.
sound proposals will be made
This has always been the case
Some will even argue that ali
speculation Is gambling and should
be stopped. A well known pro
feSsor, who did all he could to
persuade the public that the in
flated prices of 1929 were sound
has recently come out with the
proposal that Spectators should
be given more time. He says
things should be fixed so that
brokers cannot sell speculators out
when their margins get low.
No Such Market
He mentions the case Of a
woman who was sold out, saying
that few days later her stocks
came back. How terrible it would
be, says the professor, If there
were speculative market for oul
homes and we could nave the
roofs sold over our heads the
minute real estate quotations got
down to our equities in the house
and lot.

Speculation Curb Declared
Need in Future

All such talk is worse than use
less. There is no such market for
our residences and never will be.
We don't buy our homes for the
purposes We have In buying
stocks.
AS 70 giving the margin specu-
lator more time, that might only
make things worse. For every case
In which stocks come back after
we are sold out there is case in
which they don't. Many , specu-
lator Is now glad he was sold out
last October. for he would have
lost more by holding on. In fact,
it might be better to give the aver.
age speculator less time. He would
lose less If he were sold out
quicker when his stocks 60 down.
You see 1t all depends on the
skill and Judgment that we use
in buying stocks. If we are
wrong on the market as a whole
and buy at the top Of a boom. we
lose. If we select the stock Of q
weak company, we lose. If we
over trade and buy more than
we can afford to carry, we lose.
Use POOf judgment
The root Of the trouble with
stock market speculation as now
practiced lies in poor Judgment
and poor information. Many Of
us are not and never will be good
judges of the market. Many Of
us cannot afford to take even the
ordinary speculative risks, and
should know better than to try
it.
In many cases, we cannot know
enough about a company to war
rant taking a position in its
stocks, because the reports are
inadequate or misleading.
There is only one feasible way
to remedy stock gambling. That
is % to keep out of the stock
market people who are not quail
fled to speculate wisely, f2) to
prevent qualified spectators from
pyramiding and trading beyond
their means, and CD to make
corporations publish accurate and
frequent reports.
