place, there have been several Of these
apparent recoyeries since the great
slump of October, 1929, each proving
fallacious. In the second place, the
public has little cash to spend on
stocks, even if it had the confidence, and
1t has small borrowing power because
the banks are conservative in respect to
making loans for speculative purposes.
And well may they be so, because much
Of the present stringency is due to the
fact that the banks have been forced
to carry their borrowers, if at all, on
very thin margins and dubious COL
lateral, dubious because of the posi-
bility of further declines.
OF course, 1t is to be hoped that the
present advance in the stock market
is a sound symptom of substantial re-
covery and not mere speculative fuc-
tuation based on hope alone There
are signs of decided announcement in
reports from industrial centers, with
the reopening of mills, increase OF
forces and in some cases restoration
of former wage scales. There is a
feeling, too, that the depression has
about run it's course, in keeping with
the records of the past. However,
the bitter experiences Of the past three

conservatism should prevail to check
any needless rush to participate in

An Advancing Stock Market.

Several successive advances in the
New York stock market during the past
week, with "briskly upward" opening
today, have aroused hope that the cor
ner has at last been turned and the
road to better times now lies ahead. II
NAV be So The stock market is not
an infallible index, however, to the eco
nomic tendencies Of the country. 1t
has its yagaries and moods and expec-
tation rather than confidence often
dictates its trend. There is an old say
ing that Wall Street always discounts
good news If that is true, then it may
be that the recent and continuing ad-
vances in the security prices are due to
a belief on the part Of the professional
traders that business IS about to i'm
prove, that industry is soon to revive,
that manufacturing is about to be slim
ulated, that employment is to be in
creased and consequently the buying
power of the people enlarged.
The public" as contraSted with the
professional traders, is apt to be SLOW

There's a lack Of harmony in the
Democratic high command on one
score-the pronunciation of Gov. Roose-
velt'S name. Chairman Farley in a
radio talk Saturday night continually
called him "RooZa-velt" Following

be called "RoZe-velt."

the head Of them. The upstate forces
have recognized the indisputable fact
that the organization below the
J Bronx" holds at least the balance of
power and must be consulted.
In this present case the announce
ment, assuming its authenticity, bears
with particular force upon the fortunes
Of the Governor, who is candidate for
the presidency. He now has before him
the ease" of Mayor Walker, whose
formal reply to the charges against him
lies on the Governors desk. A decision
will be rendered some time this month.
The State convention will be held later.
1t is known that the Governor favors
the nomination of Lieut. Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman, who has made an excellent
record in that Office, having frequently
acted as Governor in the absence OF
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Reduced to its simplest terms the con-
ditional candidacy of Mayor Walker
for the gOVernorShip nomination Is 8
challenge to the Governor in his capa-
city of Judge of the Walker case" To
put it crudely, it might be stated thus:
Fire me and I will go after the nomi-
nation. and If 1 am beaten in the con-
vention I will make trouble for the
ticket which you favor. If ana nomi-
mated you must help elect me or your
presidential candidacy will suffer"
A somewhat tenuous state of harmony
between Albany and Tammany Hall
has been effected since the Chicago
convention, despite the high feelings
aroused by the Smith Roosevelt con-
test. There has been evidence of
disposition on the part of the Tammany
leaders to throw Walker to the lions, or
at least to let him fight his own battle
on its merits, without pressure upon
the Governor to save him from mar
trvdom." But if the Mayor really is
going after the governorship nomina-
ton, If and when dismissed on the
charges, that harmony is in danger, and
the Governors chances of carrying the
State in November are leSsened.
Il may all be Midsummer fan%Sy'
There may be immediate and strenuous
denials. But in the light of past per-
formances below the Bronx" it has
an air of plausibility that must cause
chills to course the spines of Demo-
Gratis who despite all claims to the con-
trary feel that New York's electoral
votes will be needed to put Gov Roose-
yelt in the White House.

While there is little unqualified ap-
proval of the rider on the home loan
bank law providing for a possible in
| crease in currency circulation by ap-
| proximately a billion dollars, the public
is inclined to believe that the legiSla-
ton may produce no i'll effects. 1t IS
permissive, and lack of demand for the
type of bank loans contemplated is ex-
! pected to keep down the volume of new
currency. 1t is also thought possible
that where new currency is issued, as
provided on the basis of Government
bonds bearing low rate Of interest, 1t
will simply displace currency already
issued.
Issuance of the new notes by ma
tional banks" thinks the Charlotte OBJ
server, may result in retirement OF
outstanding Federal Reserve notes and
thus not increase the circulation" The
Observer. however, feels that since the
banks can make approximately 2.5 per
cent more by issuing the notes than by
lending funds directly, they are expect
ed to ask for the new currency" and
points out that the law extends the
eligibility as note collateral to all Gov
ernment bonds bearing not more than
33a per cent" while formerly only the
per cent bonds were eligible"
The Chicago Daily News also empha-
sizes the situation in relation to existing
circulation with the statement: That
the bill is both reactionary and unnec
eSsary even persistent advocates of le-
gitimate credit expansion acknowledge.
Bond-secure circulation is inelastic and
has no close relation to business needs.
Federal Reserve notes, on the other
hand are wholesomely elastic, being de-
pendent upon the trends in industry
and trade. There is no shortage of cur
rency. and, If there were, the Federal
Reserve law amply provides for addi-
tional circulation adequately secured by
gold and sound commercial paper. To
authorize bond-secured currency is to
drive out an equivalent amount OF Fed
eral Reserve notes"
IF the banks didn't feel impelled to
deal out money to borrowers after get
ting the benefit of all the other
schemes which have been Matched to
persuade them to do just that thing"
saws the Baltimore Evening Sun, 1T
is hardly likely that Senator Glass
measure, which costs them real money,
will be any more efficacious. The truth
probably is that there are mighty few
commercial borrowers in the offing;
and if there are few borrowers, all the
schemes for making money available
are Just so many words"
There is money enough to do the
new things which are needed to start
something" advises the San Francisco
Chronicle, observing that money to
pay old debts with new ones starts
nothing" The Chronicle comedies that
the new law would make more money
available if there is demand for it,
but it will force nothing into circula-
tion in the absence of demand" That
paper concludes that 1T is a rela-
lively conservative measure, written by
an experienced fnancier,' and that "all

Buffalo Evening News comments: 1T
is obvious that the harmleSSneSS Of an
act permitting an increase of 81 ,000,-
100000 in the currency depends on
its administration. This law might be-
come source of serious danger if the
execution of it should pass into hands
less particular about imitation than are
the present officials"
1T is maintained" records the As
bury Park Evening Press, that ample
facilities exist for meeting increased
demands for currency through the Fed
eral Reserve System, but many dispute
this claim by pointing to the dearth OF
funds available for legitimate enter
priSes To a certain extent the Glass
measure will meet their need. 1t is to
be regretted that its effect cannot be
accurately studied For If imitation is
what the Nation needs, we should have
more of it, but if imitation proves in

as the bad example"

garded as likely to refrain from taking
advantage of the note expansion priv

Journal declares: "The question that
nobody has solved is how to stay both

reflection on the economic good sense
of mankind that it keeps eternally

could become a real menace to the
country's financial welfare" The Spo-

Legionnaires TO
Aid Care With Fire
From the Pasadena star-News.

From the Pasadena Star-News.
The American Legion. Department OF
California, has undertaken very not
able public service in cooperating with
the United States Forest Service, the
California State Chamber of Commerce
and the State Division OF Forestry In
serving as a vigilante force to report
violations of fire laws in the forests OF
California. Those Legionnaires who
take the pledge to aid in this partlcu-
larly pledge themselves to report on
those persons who, while travelling on
the highways and roads, toss lighted
tobacco or other flaming substances
from their cars, in order that courte-
GUS letter may be sent to such Vlolators
asking their cooperation"
Pasadena Post, No. 13, American
Legion, is doing handsomely in this
work. The drive is directed particularly
against carelessness and thoughtless-
ness, and it is hoped, through courteous
persuasion, to enlist many under the
banner of carefulness with fire.
California loses millions of dollars an
nually in forests denuded and in other
damage by fires started in forest re-

against him, to be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
This announcement has been received
with astoniShment by local Democrats"
says the New York Times, which prints
the report. Well may it do so.
The mayor, it is said, is confident
that he can get the nomination If he
seeks 1t, that he has the support of
Tammany and that Tammany can
swing the State convention for him.
