On the Top of
The World

Today one of these debtor
nations is sitting OH the top
Of the world, is rich nd
prosperous, has spent vast
sums on armament, has
made loans to her military
allies: and she pleads inca
pacity to pay Us what she
owes.
The plan is that we shall
transfer this enormous debt
to the American people
from whose pockets the
loans were made.
And this caves the total
cost of the war to the Ameri-
can people, who took no
reparations and no territory
-$3S,S37 100000!
And there may be some
question in view of the taxes
to be levied and the deficit
in the treasury, AMI the
economic conditions in The
country as to our "capacity
to pay
Thus there is every rea-
son why the Johnson reso-
luton should be adopted
and the American people be
acquainted with the nature
of these private loans They
become the private business
of the American people.

7 Market Study Shows
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Nov. l6-The
bears, with five successive days
Of decline to their credit, have
succeeded in duplicating the best
record Of the bulls on this move
ment, five consecutive sessions of
advance.
Using the Dow-Jones industrial
averages as a guide, this reaction
has nullified only the improve
ment since November 4.
Therefore, despite the dire pre-
dictions Of bearish professionals,
the testing OF the lows of Octo-
Der looms too far distant for
serious consideration
While it is somewhat precari-
OuS to state that the market is
approaching a temporary turning
point simply because it has gone
lower five days in a row, still,
II one has the patience to run
through market records Of the
past year he probably will find
few instances in which COM
mitmentS made after such a pro-
tracted period of decline did not
turn out profitably.
Naturally, careful selection OF
stocks Is necessary.

TIGHTER CREDIT.

BY HANEY
Bank Investments in Loans
and Securities Frozen
and Money High
By LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University,
Bureau Of Business Research.

Dy LEWIS hhNEI
Director New York University,
Bureau Of Business Research.
What is now taking place in
bank credit is a belated contrac-
ton. Long ago business require
ments for credit fell to depression
levels.
But bank investments in Securi-
ties and loans on security cOllat-
eraI have been maintained. They
have become frozen. This is
partly due to the mistaken easy
money policy.
Higher and Firm
Now we find money rates
higher and firm, although bank
loans are greatly reduced and the
demand for business credit is very
low.
If business. were to expand rap
idly now, it would meet great
obstacle in the fact that bank
credit is so largely tied up in IN.
vestments. Also the banks are
considerably in debt at the Re-
serve.
Deposits Decline
One watching the bank statis-
tics must be impressed with the
downward trend of loans and de-
posits. This is unusual at sea.
son when heavy industries should
still be near their annual peak
and year-end trade activity be get
ting into full swing.
Perhaps the decline in member
bank credit indicates the extreme
depression as forcefully as any
other barometer. In 1921, loans
fell much as they have this year,
but deposits ceased to decline in
August and we're we'll on the up
grade by November.
Clearly any attempt to force
large new issues of government
bonds upon the banks will meet
with difficulty.
Liquidation Due
It looks to me as if there must
be further liquidation in bank in
vestments and security loans. It
is doubtful if even deliberate in
flation could be put across with
out some further deflation first.
Maybe the National Credit Cor
poration is to provide sufficient
cold storage for frozen credit to
enable the banks to take on more
government securities!
