Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES

Only the man who practices the
virtue OF temperance may achieve per-
nlanent success in investment Excess
invites disaster financially as II does
pnysica1y, but temperance in the one field
= no more popular than it is in the
0Iner. Let us see what this means
t anere may De excess in caution. In
LINES OF business depression and panic
.eNeiS 1or securities 1t Is just as unwise

lear, which, by the way, is the definie
ton OF panic, as 1t Is to exhibit bound
less commence when both trade and
STOCKS are at the heights of imitation.

II the best results are to be achieved in
the handling Of funds to disbelieve the
pesSimistS in 1891 as 1t was to doubt

speaking for the average investor, when
there are high-grade bonds and pre-
ferred stocks which yield more with all
reasonable safety. The converse of this
proposition is also true. If and when
we again have rapidly advancing mar
ket in stocks with the accompanying
phenomena OF speculative excitement
1t will be just as serious a mistake
to put all ones funds into equity
securities. OF course, the latter excess
Is more { ngerous than the former, but
both Of them operate against securing the
three-fold object Of all investment
safety Of principal. adequate income
ana proper degree Of narketability.
The trouble is we all want to go
ahead too fast in boom times. and we
all hang back too much in the other
kind of time. We should moderate our
enthusiasm then and exercise our fears
now.

ny CARLTON A. SHIyELY,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20-Wall street
bankers who keep their fingers close to
the pulse Of German and other Euro
pean affairs are unanimous in feeling
that the situation abroad Is well past
the critical stage.
F. ancial markets are still much af-
fected by the day-to-day changes in the
tenor of the news. but for once the
markets probably are somewhat out OF
touch with real conditions. They are
still inclined to view as the crux Of the
German matter the question whether
Germany will obtain a huge loan. TAX
ing 1t for granted that the money is
needed and that a sine qua non Of a
long-teTm bond issue or a credit oper-
alton Is participation by the United
States.
Favor Smaller Credit.
Wall street initiates disagree heartily
with both suggestions. They have
canvassed the situation thoroughly
among themselves, as, in fact, they did
a month or more before President Hoo
yer electrified the world with his debt
holiday proposal. AS starter they feel
that, If Germany wishes to continue
along the old path and supply all the
German nationals who wish to get their
funds into safer places and permit un-
limited Withdrawals from the COM
mercial banks, a half billion dollars Is
by no means enough. However. the
banking view Is that such course Is
the one which should not be taken, and
that travelling along the right road Ger
many has no need of any large credit
at this time.
Rigid control of the foreign ex-
change market. rationing of credit to
the commercial banks and inducement
of German private holders of foreign
exchange to convert their money into
marks are the measures which, II taken,
will obviate the need Of so much credit.
Some of these steps have been made,
but 1t is disputed in Wall Street that
Germany has done all that can be
done. It is estimated that German
private holding of foreign exchange
amounts to $4,000, 100000
Assuming that financial help in large
quantity is needed, two forms for 1T
are suggested. One is long-term Dor
rowing, with this country doing its
share and England and France the

BROKER PLEADS GUILTY

NEW YORK, July 20 Cp).-Robert
Lee Harrison, 33-year-old stock broker,
whose lawyer said he ran $4,000 up
to $4,000, 900 only to lose it all in the
1929 Wall Street crash, pleaded guilty
to grand larceny today. He was sent
to the Tombs for sentence July 81.
Harrison was alleged to have used
the names Of former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith, John ]. Raskob and other prom
inent men without authorization to
induce investors to place money IN
mythical pool" in which, it has been
estimated they lost about 100000.
The indictment to which he pleaded
guilty was based on the evidence of
Selma Boyd, who charged he obtained
$25,O 900 from her to invest in securi-
ties and pocketed the money.
