DENVER. Colo, Oct. /. R)-The

That expression was contained IN
the bishops pastoral letter read by
the Rt. Rev. James De Wolf Perry oI
Rhode Island, presiding bishop be-
fore the closing session of the fiftietn
triennial convention Of the church
here yesterday.
Relief Of the suffering caused 10y
unemployment was set out as a pri-
mary duty by leaders OF the church
who said the profit-seeking motive
must give way to one of service.
Current conditions in society are

with the additional comment that
uncertainty pervades every field OF
human interest, economic, political
and religious.
Emphasizing that economic dis
treSS and political unrest are agra
waited by the present state OF inter-
national relations. the bishops letter
recommends membership Of the U.
S. in the world court and league o!
nations. The bishops also urge the
u. S. to lead the way to substantial

HINTS STOCK
REGULATION
Law Prohibiting Short
Selling May Be
Passed

WASHINGTON, Oct. l-(R-Un-
less the stock exchanges themselves
act. Senator Watson Of Indiana
believes congress will legislate safe
guar0s against short selling by
Spectators Tho seek profits through
depression Of security values.
The republican leader Of the
senate yesterday warned the ex-
changes that members Of congress
were convinced these transactions
were retarding recovery from the
depression and stood ready 10 in
quire into the practice.
Because of his position as admin
istration pilot on Capitol Hill, 1t
was believed here Senator Watson
reflected also the view of high
government officials toward the
recent bear raids in the stock mar
ket. !.
Certain 1t Is that he speaks with
some authority and his prediction
that "a thorough and searching
investigation Of this method OF
dealing with stocks will be made
by a senate committee" is being
given serious attention here.
Many stock prices have fallen 10
new lows in recent days. The situa-
ton has led one New York exchange
house to announce 1t will not loan
money to those who intend 10 use
1t in selling stocks short.
On the other hand, a defense OF
short selling" has been made by
Richard Whitney, president of the
New York stock exchange. He said
a ban against II would necessarily
'revolutionize the financial, COM
mercial and industrial laws Of the
whole country"
But the administration Is agitated
by indications 1t has seen that
certain groups OF professional raid
ers are taking advantage OF un-
settled conditions to gain profits by
driving down security values.
President Hoover already has
appealed to grain market specula-
tors to forego any such practices
at this time. Nov Senator Watson
warns that legislation Is in pros
pect.
