STOCK MARKET REGULATION
BY George B. Lockwood


At one time the stock market was presumed to be
an accurate barometer of American business It has
now ceased to be- and indeed is at the present one of
the chief obstacles to the recovery of American bust
ness During 1922 stock market prices rose to ficti-
tous figures. This was partly due to the fact that
some three billion dollars of foreign, chiefly Euro
pean money had been invested there. Beginning in
August, 1929 this money began to be withdrawn not
tor any domestic reason but because of the pressure
of fore On governments which viewed with alarm this
huge diversion of their capital This was one Of the
principal causes Of the October collapse It was the
cause more than the result of the depression
Since the stock market crash of 1929 the American
general public has been chary of stock market invest
ments. The cash which flowed in from amateur in
vestors to sustain the vast output of new securities
has ceased to come in. Therefore there has been a
gut Of stocks and the result has been frequent uc-
tuatlons downward. Legitimate enterprises are I'M
able TO secure through this channel the money neceS-
sary for expansion The rise and fall in Auburn
stocks during the past few weeks have had nothing
whatever to do with the prospects of the company for
profts-they have been the result of manipulation.
But they have affected the prices of all other stocks
1t IS evident that the government must take some
steps 20 regulate stock market operations in the in
terests Of legitimate industry and the general public
This might be by way of rules imposed as in case of
the cotton market, where rise or fall of more than
two points IN one day is forbidden; when this occurs
trading ceases This would curb the style Of the mar
ket manpulatOrs 1t has been proposed that the DUR
chase OF stocks on margins be prohibited This would
save many amateur investors from loss, but such a
remedy would have to be approached with caution in
view OF the wide use of the credit system in every
other line of investment.
1t is ntolerabe, however, that stock market spec
ulaton and manipulation should cause industrial de-
pressons or retard recovery from them 1t is intol-
cradle that American securities should be raised and
lowered in value through the intervention of foreign
or international financial interests which have in mind
something beside the prosperity of the United States
The stock market two years ago was looked upon
by most Americans as place to make easy money
Now most OF these same Americans look upon it as a
public nuisance partly because they remember where
they last saw their money
