A meeting Of the Steering Committee
in charge OF the Senate investigation Of
the New York Stock Exchange was
called for this afternoon by Chairman
Norbeck to consider plans mapped out
BY William A. Gray, committee counsel.
Norbeck said the hearings probably
would not be resumed for about 10 days,
in order to allow the counsel to work up
evidence.
Gray's plans provide for five or six
investigators 10 study brokerage and
Stock Exchange records. More money
than the $4,000 appropriated by the
Senate may be needed.
Has Mass Of Evidence.
Gray said he had enough evidence
and leads to work on for six months,
but would try to cover the best part Of
it before the session ends.
The purpose of the inquiry as map
ped out by Gray is to find out If there
have been any improper or unlawful
practices on the exchange, who has
committed them. and report to the Sen
ate what should be done"
Senator Blaine, Republican, Of Wis

tices that have already been disclosed

President Richard Whitney OF the
exchange, Blaine said, undertook to
place the characteristics Of angels about
the operators on the exchange, and
yet they are similar in character to
the racketeer and the gangster."
Blaine read to the Senate magazine
article he said was written by President
Hoover in 1912 on The Economies OF
Boom" in which promoters and
brokers were described as insiders"
and the general investing public as
outsiders"
In this article published in the Lon

Hoover as describing hypothetical case
in which 100000 was invested in a
mining project and 81 .oo0. 900 OF stock
sold to outsiders by the insiders.

"'But the $3.50, 900, representing the
difference is not itself an economic
loss," he quoted from the article.
ut simply means this much Of the
national wealth was transferred from
one individual to another.
Further, from an economic point
of view, this E880,00o Of capital in the
hands of the insiders is often invested
to more reproductive purpose than II it
had remained in the hands Of the idiots
who parted with it."
Blaine cited this as an illustration OF
what is going on In the Stock Exchange,
and proposed that the committee get
experts trained by President Hoover to
aid it in finding "how much money
has been taken by insiders out of the
pockets of the innocent unsuspencting

LEAGUE To DEBATE
FAR EAST crisis
Stormy Session Expected at
Meeting of Full Assembly
Tomorrow.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

by CaDle 10 Inc otdI'
GENEVA, April 29.-The full AS
senbly of the League of Nations meets
once again tomorrow on the Far East
ern crisis. The session will doubtless
be stormy owing to the grave bombing
incident at Shanghai.
The real issue is whether Japan Is
going to accept the resolution drafted
by the Committee of Nineteen in CO.
operation with the Leagues Shanghai
ArmiStice Committee. Up to the pres
ent Japan persists in its refusal to
recognize the competence of the League
Assembly in the Shanghai armistice
nt gotiations.
Thanks to the private talks pursued
here by American Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson, however, even Great
Britain now seems to be urging Japan
to accept the resolution If Japan
does not, then the tendency of the
Assembly will be to vote the resolu-
ton anyway, thereby again raising the
question of sanctions.
Fundamentally no real progress seems
to have been made toward settlement
of the Sino-Japanese conflict Some
experts strongly suspect Japan of a
desire indefinitely to hold WooSung
some 20 miles above Shanghai on the
Yangtze, which controls the approach
to Shanghai from the sea.
The League of Nations commission
on Manchuria, headed by Lord Lytton
of Great Britain, has left Mukden for
Tsitsihar and will make its first report
to the League. it is said. about May /,
but Japan still utterly rejects the right
Of the League to interfere in any way
In the Manchurian issue.
Guerrilla warfare in many parts of
Manchuria throughout the Summer is
freely predicted here. Tension between
Japan and Russia is increasing Mill
tary preparations are said to be con-
tinuing on both sides and pessimists
foresee an armed conflict over the Chi
nese Eastern Railway sooner or later
between these two powers.
Meanwhile Great Britain still seems
disposed to give Japan a free hand in
Manchuria despite American protests,
and pro-Russian and prof. Communist
sentiment in China is said to be
spreading.
