TO PROBE SHORT SELLING"
Senator Hastings Presents Resolu-
ton Seeking Views as to Legality

Senator Daniel 3. Hastings,
author of apending resolution to
investigate the question of short
selling on the stock exchanges of
the country, has an open mind on
the subject. The Delaware Senator
said that while many prominent
people, including the president of
the New York Stock Exchange,
maintained that there is nothing
wrong in short selling, many others
contend that it is all wrong and
an end should be put to the prac-
tice. Senator Hastings said that
the best way to settle the question
would be to hold hearings on the
resolution, giving both sides an
equal opportunity to present their
views to the committee. The reso-
luton bearing Senator Hastings
name, was presented to the Senate
by his colleague, Senator Town
send. Senator Hastings was I'M
able to be present at the time. It
was pointed out that in view of the
present temper of the Senate, the
probe Of short selling would I'M
doubtedly be ordered and strong
efforts made to regulate, if not ac-
tually, abolish the practice entire
ly. President Hoover, himself, in
dicated last summer that he was
displeased with the operation of
the professional Bears" and es-
pecialy on the grain exchanges Of
the country.
