PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
WOULD AID BUSINESS
Statistics Company Emphasizes
Importance Of Designating
Fears of Investors.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November IA return
of public confidence in the credit struc-
ture, in commodity prices, and in the
security markets could completely
change the existing business situation
and that Is the basic fact which in
vestors should keep in mind, says the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York in
a current survey, which continues:
1T Is truism to say that panic and
pessimism have overstepped the bounds
of reason and that the country is over
debated in every direction. If experience
counts for anything, this mood of
indiscriminate pessimiSm sooner or later
will reach a point at which it will be
decisively checked by the operation of
natural forces which have frequently
proved their effectiveness in writing
fms to a business depression.
There is no positive evidence that
that point has been reached. Yet GER
tain factors deserve close attention.
prices of crude foodstuffs and raw
materials have declined to a level Gar
below the cost of production in many
instances) which provides both an in
production and a profitable base from
which users of such materials can ex-
pand their operations
1.-The ability OF wheat, cotton and
other commodities to advance repeated
ly, often in the face of falling stock
market, we believe to possess marked
significance.
Economies in personal expenditure
and in the maintenance and replace
ment of industrial equipment have been
carried so far as to create potential
demand of large proportions.
"Once the public's fears regarding
the soundness of the banking position
and of the currency itself are allayed,
swift resumption of buying is likely to
occur. The experience of 1896, when
the DOGGY of free silver was
destroyed, and that of 1879 accompany
ing the resumption Of specie payments,
furnish a reasonable basis for this
belief.
Fears as to whether the public has
been drained of purchasing power may
be considered in the light of the fact
that the relatively few panic stricken
individuals who have pulled their funds
out of the banks for boarding could
tomorrow buy goods to the amount of
a billion dollars.
These considerations are, we realize,
intangible. But, in our judgment, it is
precisely the intangible elements which
are most vital in a situation like the
present"

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
IN FINANCE seen
Balance of Developments En-.
couraging, Says Bankers
Journal Summary.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November ~ The
balance of the numerous developments
in business and finance during the past
month appears TO be on the side Of
the favorable, both as to number and
Importance, the American Bankers As
ISOLATION Journal says in its current
review of business.
Sentiment is distinctly better" the
review declares. Operation of the Ma
tional Credit Corporation should fortify
the position of sound banks outside of
the large cities. Some plan of pooling
railroad earnings now seems assured
Prices of stocks and bonds have rallied,
while the heavy liquidation Of secured
loans should greatly diminish the dan
ger OF forced selling in the future
Apparently the tendency toward con-
version Of bank balances into currency
has subsidized.
Commodity prices have at last
shown signs of stability, the usual sea-
sonal increase in buying of cold
weather merchandise Is under way and
at least one of the heavy industries
automobiles-has begun to expand its
activities. Most persons would prob
ably regard the visit of Premier Laval
with President Hoover among the IA
vorable events, although the possible
developments OF their conference are
not yet known definitely. Political
conditions in Germany, Great Britain
and the Far East are more encouraging
1T Is true that many troublesome
situations still remain. Low prices of
agricultural products have likewise cur
tailed retail trade in the farm sec
tons and added to the difflculty Of
meeting interest and amortization pay
ments on mortgages. In the cities the
| real estate situation Is fully as 1id,
with numerous apartment houses and
| hotels going into receivership or being
| foreclosed and property owners falling
in arrears on their tax payments. In
view OF the temporary surplus of renta-
BILE space the lack of genuine recovery
in building construction is not hard to
| understand
News from the manufacturing in
dustrtes and the railroads consists of
| poor earnings reports and DIVIDEND
reductions and omissions Operating
! costs have been drastically lowered
however, and efficiency has been great
~ increased, but this condition will not
be completely disclosed until next
Spring, when comparisons will be made
| against the current year. Unemploy-
ment Will be an acute problem again
| this Winter. Lastly, there Is the dis
turblng threat of legislation by the
new Congress along lines not in accord
| with natural economic principles, but
involving large appropriations and
higher tax rates"

CRUDE OIL DEMAND
EXPECTED TO GAIN
Increased Motor Fuel Re-
quirementS Also Forecast
by Federal Board.

The world motor fuel demand for
nine months beginning October / will
be 322 ,635 900 barrels and crude oil re-
quirements 678 900 900 barrels, according
to an estimate made by the Federal Oil
Conservation Poard. Secretary of
Interior Wilbur is chairman of the
board.
The boards estimate is an increase
in consumption despite statistics show
ing a fewer number of automobiles in
use. 1t was estimated that automobiles
in the United States would consume
289 100000 barrels Of gasoline during
the nine months which began october
/, or l.9 per cent more than was used
in the similar period last year.
Basis Of Calculations.
The calculations were based on find
ings that gasoline consumption per
tinuing to increase"
With 23.708,600 motor vehicles as
being in use this November, or 499, 800
less than in November 1880, the board
estimated that this number would de-
cline through February to about % ,000,-
600, and then begin increasing, reach
ing 24174,000 next July, While there
has been a decrease in the number OF
cars in use, the board found that those

From June l through September. IL
per cent more cars entered California
than in the corresponding period OF
1880. l8 per cent more visited the
national parks, and traffic through the
Holland Tunnel at New York increased
6 per cent
There was also a much larger number
of taXicabS in operation, and taXicab
over period of year, the board found
will consume 10 to Is times more gaso-
line than a privately owned automobile
The board recommended that fur
ther curtailment of fuel oil production
be made as essential to the maintenance
of economic stocks, las stocks on hand
are increasing despite constantly low
cred production"
State Quota Approved.
The committee approved the indicated
crude oil production of 2,379.000 barrels
daily set by State conservation groups
This figure was slightly under the
boards estimate of daily requirements
Of 2,384,000 barrels, and would permit
the use of some oil in storage.
Foreseeing a reduction in crude oil
imports, the committee based it's calcu-
lations on the promise that imports
would not exceed exports, and put the
reduction at SO per cent, or 24,660, 900
barrels for the present year.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET TRADING
Market Apparently Awaiting
New Stimulus in Bust
ness Situation.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November t2.-Quiet
trading and indecisive price move
ments we're the rule in the stock
market today. Traders seemed to be
awaiting some fresh stimulus in the
outside news and. lacking that, were
reluctant to take position either way.
Lower prices for wheat at the open
ing checked enthusiasm on the buying
side in stocks Initial trades had been
at fairly uniform advances, but after
business had begun in grain and losses
of over a cent buShel in the active
deliveries had been recorded, stocks
lost. their semblance of strength With
out however, showing any real weak
ness. Taking the market as whole 1t
was more Of a selective affair than re-
cent sessions.
Alcohol Stock Active.
Selling kept up in re dio and the stock
went to a new low on the reaction,
which was also approx mately the low
of the year simultaneously Radio
Keith made new low. Government
litigation and the Radic-Keith n
nancing were coupled as the reason for
the weakness in radio
The railway shares were heavy early
today in contrast to their firmness
earlier in the week Union Pacific de-
clared the regular quarterly dividend OF
$3.50 on the common stock, as had
been anticipated Union Pacific was
slightly higher in the early trading, but
New york Central, Rock Island and
Southern Pacific sold off.
One of the most active stocks was
United States Industrial Alcohol, which
held the gains of Tuesday and Wednes-
day, but did little more. However, AIR
Reduction, which owns $4,000 shares OF
Industrial Alcohol, was strong. There
was talk of merger negotiations Affect
ing a number Of units in the industry
as well as predictions of an increase IN
the price of alcohol All the stocks
named have long been favortte trading
mediums and it Is not hard to gather
a speculative following in any one OF
them.
Opening Is Higher.
Prices opened higher.
The trend was aided by the Disk
upturn in the London market, which
was due to an unconfrmed Berlin re-
port that preliminary Franco-German

POPE TO BARE
VIEW ON LABOR
IN RADIO TALK
EncycIicaI to Be Based on
Address Pontiff viii
Deliver Friday.
BY FRANCIS REA
United Press stan Correspondent

VATICAN CITY, May 1.-THE
address to be broadcast by Pope
Plus XXI from over the Vatican radio
station viii be the basis for his
forthcoming ency lical on the re-
lations Of capital and labor.
The encyclical, which is to be
made public later this month, Will
be a summary Of the pope's address.
In his speech the pontiff win al
lude to the anti-religious riots in
Spain earlier this week, condemning
them in scathing terms, it is under
stood
Spain under former King Alfonso
XIII, had long been a Roman
Catholic country, with the state ! D
porting the church
He also was expected to refer to
the labor situation in Soviet Russia,
where charges of forced labor have
been voiced abroad.
Talk on Labor Problems
The pope, it was indicated, will
give Catholics throughout the world
directions regarding labor questions,
insofar as they are connected with
the moral and religious aspects Of
society.
The radio address will coincide with
the fortieth anniversary of the
"Rerum Novarum" encyclical is
sued by Pope Leo VIII on the same
subject, expressing the Catholic
church's views on new problems.
Pope Leo XIII issued his famed
encyclical "Rerum Novarum," dated
May Is, 1891, as a frontal attack
on Socialism. At the same time he
accepted what he termed "the spirit
Of revolutionary change" which he
said had passed beyond politics and
entered the field of practical eco
monies, and in many quarters his
ideas were found startling at the
time they were expressed.
Leo Opposed to Socialism
The Socialists were. in the popes
opinion. working on the poor mans
envy Of the rich, endeavoring to
destroy private property"
But such proposals were termed
futile and unjust and the principle
Of private ownership was strongly
upheld while it was declared that
the main tenet of Socialism, the
community Of goods, utterly must be
rejected, for it would injure those
whom it intended to benefit"
Humanity must remain as it is
and it can not be reduced to a
level, Leo found. He asserted that
class is not naturally hostile to
class, but labor and capital mutual
ly are dependent.
