WHITNEY FLAYS
ADDED BURDEN.
ON TRADERS
Tells Senators Market Faces
Danger of Suspension by
High Transfer Levy

Richard Whitney, president
of the New York Stock Ex-
change, today approved a
general manufacturers sales.
tax but opposed the proposed
tax on stock transfers.
Appearing for the third time
within a week before Senate
committee in defense of the trad
ing market over which he rules,
Whitney told the Senate Finance
Committee the proposed tax on
stock sales would decrease the
volume of transactions on the
exchange.
Oil Tariff Attacked
Whitney followed Senator Tyd-
ipgs CD of Maryland, who tes''
titled in opposition to the pro-
posed tariff of l cent a gallon
on imported gasolie and crude
oil.
Tydings said the tariff would
benefit nobody but the big ino
terestS.
Questioned by Senator Reed
(R-) of Pennsylvania, Whitney
said he had heard rumors that
if Congress taxed stock transac-
tions heavily, an international
stock exchange might be orga:
nized in Canada to take care
of American business"
It would be an affiliation Of
the New York, Quebec and On
tario exchanges.
Little Fellow" Buying
Whitney credited the little fel.
low" with buying more stock OUT
right now than ever before. He
continued:
"The old theory was that
when prices declined, stocks
passed from the hands of the
weak to the hands of the. ID.
strong. That has been COM
pletely shattered recently with u
stocks moving into the hands
of the weak. The number Of
small shareholders has steadily p
increased ever since the crash
of 1929"
Whitney said 81 per cent Of
the stock of the American Tele-
phone g. Telegraph Co. was
owned in less than 100 share
lots. ell said over SO per cent
of the stock was owned by
persons holding less than 10
shares.
Warns of Closing
Whitney warned excessive
taxes might force the exchange
to close the market. He said:
"Any measure which would
tend to stfile business should
be avoided. agree the mar
ket should have a fair share
o fthe burden of increased
taxation, but the tax on Secur-
ity transactions should be linn
tied to a low rate. L believe
the proposed rates are grossly
excessive"

visions of the treaty between the United

demonstrate safety and also Tor "6uSi-
ness reasons" which he declined tc
discuss.
The old Columbia has been under
going repairs at the Bellanca plant in
Wilmington, Del.
His first destination across the At
lantic will be Berlin, but whether he
will start his ocean leg from here or
from Harhor Grace, Newfoundland, he
has not yet decided. From Berlin he
will go to Moscow, cross Siberia and ny
the Pacific by way Of the Aleutian
Islands.
Boyd took the Columbia for it's Sec
ond ride across the sea, flying from
Montreal to England with Harry P.
Conner in October, 1890. Three years
before that the ship took Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles Levine, then
its owner, to Germany and a new dis
tance fight record of 3,79o miles.

On this basis the apportionment OF
seats would be: Nazis, 2l3; NationaliSts,

munists, 20; Centrists and Bavarian
Catholics 80, and smaller Rightist

On the other hand, the Centrists,
Bavarian Catholics and Socialists
alone, with their 222 seats, would not
have a majority either.
The prospect was, therefore, that the
Centrists, under DR.. Bruening, would
be likely to hold the key position and,

there was little doubt they would be
willing to enter coalition with the
Right.

FRENCH MARK TIME
ON DEBT REVISION
Await More Favorable Situa-

Final Action.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 30.-France has agreed
to make no move toward revision Of
the French debt to the United States
until the situation in America Is more
favorable, possibly after the presi-
Dental election, IL was learned today
on high authority.
This was one of the results of an
interview yesterday between Premier
Herriot, United Statcs Ambassador
Edge and Norman H. Davis, q member
Of the American delegation to the Dis
armament Conference.
M. Herriot recognized the difficulty
which the American Government faces
in connection with debt revision at this
time, with Congress and the mass of
the people opposed to 1t.
The American Representatives told
him that the best way to swing Amer
ican opinion toward revision would be
by reduction of ornaments as nearly
as possible in line with President Hoo
ver's proposal to cut arms by one-third,
and by eliminating commercial friction
by arranging a general commercial
treaty.
The same authority disclosed that
Premier Herriot has asked Louis Ger
main Martin. his finance minister. to
become Ambassador to the United
States, presumably for the period OF
debt negotiations, and that M. Ger
main-Martin is still considering ac-
ceptance.
1t was said that when the time
comes the premier would rather nego-
tiate in Europe than in Washington,
but falling that, he wants to send q
man of M. Germain- Martins caliber TO
Washington to prepare the way.
Reports that Pierre Flandin, former
finance minister, was to become AM
bassador TO Great Britain were denied.
