BEDROCK STILL
HELD DUEFOR
MARKET
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director Of New York University Bureau
OF Business Research

Director Of New York University Bureau
OF Business Research
The stock market is telling the
story of long-postponed liquida'
ton. This had to come sooner
or later. 1t has come later, that
is all.
Don't buy stocks which seem to
look cheap.
Going to Bedrock
What is now going on is
cleaning out process. In time,
the last traces of initiation will
be purged.
For the first time in a good
many years, securities will touch
bedrock prices, free from all
clairvoyant assumptions of long
time trend"
In the case of the railway
stocks and bonds, the cleaning
out process has gone farthest.
Rail stocks are not only far be-
low the 1921 bottom, but are
the lowest on any ordinary
record.
Rail Bonds Safest
Probably in some cases, rail
way securities are being unduly
depressed, particularly the bonds.
Even if Government ownership
is to be the outcome of all these
Finance Corporation loans, most
of the railwy bonds of the bet
ter railway properties will eventu-
ally be worth more than present
prices.
Some wild things may be done
politically, but / for one cannot
imagine cOnfiscatiOn and radical
socialism in this country.
Averages Too High
The case of a good many in
dustrialS and utilities is different.
For example, one average of 25
industrial stocks stands about 81,
while even in 1921 the same aver
age was under Ct.
This is hard to understand.
Commodity prices are much lower
than in 1921. The volume of in
dustrial activity is fully as low as
then. The general business out
look is not as good as it was
in 1921.
Furthermore, the worst of the
initiation in the stock market
came in the industrial blue chips
and utilities. These we're the is
sues which discounted" an un-
ending upward trend IN earnings.
One would certainly think that
any worthwhile rally would be
led by the rails.
No Real Rally Seen
For the present, however, no
really good rally is indicated by
conditions.
Real liquidation is going on.
You see it in the new lows" in
the large number of issues traded
and in the steady selling off of
preferred stocks and bonds;
AS a result the market takes
short covering without much re-
SponSe on the up side.

SCHLElCHER NAMED
REICH CHANCELLOR
BY Won HINDENBURG
Continued From First Page.)

Papen, who reported to the President
this morning on his soundings of the
political situation during the last few
weeks.
The Junker leader told the President
he believed II his own person as chan
cellor were eliminated the expected
conflict with the Reichstag, assembling
December 6, could be avoided. To that
END he suggested the defense minister.
All the political groups Of the Reich,
whether favoring or opposing Won
Schleicher, agree he Is a man of un-
usual ability and political suppleness.
According to business leaders, he won
the race over Won Papen because the
German industrialists through DIR. Gus
tav Krupp Won Bohlen und Halbach,
head of the Krupp works, announced
their preference to the President.
As DR.. Krupp is also an intimate
friend of the former Kaiser, 1t was init
mated Nationalist politicians, as well as
monarchist circles, were satisfied with
Won Schleicher, who Is himself a per-
sonal friend of the former crown prince.
There were also intimations that Won
Schleicher would not oppose the res
toration of the throne to the former
crown prince If popular sentiment
should approve such move.
Defense Ministry Problem.
Gen. Won Schleicher is expected to
present list of cabinet members to
the President soon because the business
world has been demanding the earliest
possible end to the present uncertainty,
especially in view of the coming
Winter.
1t is taken for granted that Baron
Konstantin Won Neurath and Count
Lutz Schwerin Won Krosigk would con-
tinue as foreign and finance ministers,
respectively.
The hardest nut to crack will be the
defense ministry. In this connection it
was recalled Won Schleicher and other
high army men complained that a
former defense minister had dragged
the army into politics by functioning
also as the minister of interior. AS
chancellor, the general would be even
more politically exposed than was the
man of whom he complained.
Nevertheless, Gen. Won Schleicher,
according to a semi official commu-
nique, Is determined to remain as de-
fense minister while serving as chan
cellor.

WATERWAY URGED

Minnesotan Tells Senators
Economic Benefit in
Ratifying Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Former Gov. Christianson Of Mime
sofa, told Senate Foreign Relations
Subcommittee today that lower trans
portation costs resulting from st.
Lawrence waterway would help restore
the economic balance within the United
States"
Christianson. Representative-eleet at
large from, Minnesota, appeared before
the committee to urge ratification OF
the treaty with Canada for consumma-
ton Of the st. Lawrence project for q
deep waterway from the lakes to the
sea.
Asserting that he did not want to
base his petition for the development
on sectional grounds, Christianson tes-
titled that increased purchasing power
for the West through reduced trans
portation costs would help to restore
the Nations economic balance.
Handicap in Marketing.
"I believe that among the handfcaps
under which the Midwestern farmer
laborS one of the most serious Is that
of remoteness from markets.
THE cold fact that stares US In the
face is that as certain conditions caused
settlement of the Middle West, so re-
versal of those conditions must by in
exorable economic law force its gradual
but certain depopulation."
ChriStianson referred to increased
freight rates, saying some railroads now
opposing the treaty are seeking an in
crease in grain rates, although it already
costs rs cents to get bushel of Mon
tana'S wheat to Duluth, where it brings
35 cents.
Savings in the cost of transporting
grain were estimated by Christianson at
S6,000,0000 year and from shipments
of dairy products at almost half
million.
Shortly before testimony that the
waterway project is thoroughly feasi-
BILE" was presented by James E. David
son, Bay City, Mich, shipbuilder and
transportation expert.
Urged by Ship Official.
Davidson, a director in 10 steamship
companies which are members Of the
Lake Carriers Association, urged ratifi-
cation Of the st. Lawrence treaty with
Canada, which was opposed by that
organization.
The benefit of cheaper transporta-
tlon,' he said, will greatly aid the
Great Lakes section of the Midwest
which consists Of approximately 50,000,-
900 people"

PAYNE DEFENDS
BUSINESS mus.
Certain War Department Ac.
tivities Necessary, Says
Assistant Secretary.

A protest against the movement
which resulted last Spring in a con-
gressional inquiry into Government
competition with private business is
contained in the annual report of Col.
Frederick H. Payne, Assistant Secre-
tary of War, which was released today.
with sense Of values warped by
disheartening financial conditions" he
said. this group has launched an un-
discriminating attack upon all Gov
ernment activities Of business nature,
including certain War Department ac-
tivities essential to national defense,
prevailing economic distress might re-
suit"
Certain Requirements.
Col. Payne said he gave his whole
hearted support" to the doctrine that
the Federal Government should never
encroach upon those fields of business
which can be capably cared for by pri-
vate enterprise. In conducting the
War Department policy with respect to
the production of supplies or equiment
at Government arsenals and factories,
he said he had never interpreted the
isting Government facilities In order to
manufacture articles of commercial de-
sign. But there are certain War De-
partment requirements that cannot be
hlled from commercial sources" he
added. ITO meet needs of this char
acter 1t Is essential that existing Gov
ernment arsenals and Government
owned factories with their specialized
equipment and labor be held intact"
Realty Sales Decline.
Due to the depression, there has been
a sharp decline in the sale of surplus
real estate held by the War Department
during the past year. Extremely low
appraisals, also contributed to the loss
in revenues. At the same time, reve-
nues from properties held under lease
by private interests approached only
S432,000 for the year, or decline from
last year of "a per cent.
Due to the transition through which
railroad systems are now passing, Col
Payne declared it would be extremely
unwise" at this time to promulgate any
definite plan for utilization Of trans
portation In time of war Plans In
volving industrial mobilization must be
fitted to meet conditions obtaining at
the outbreak of war, Col. Payne said in
directing attention to the fact that the
great transportation systems Of the
country are now undergoing maj jor
changes in organization and operation.
Rather than draw up definite scheme
for their use in connection with the
plans of the War Policies Commission,
the Assistant Secretary said he had di-
rected that tentative plan be drawn
up and subjected to constant scrutiny
with view to bringing 1t into harmony
with conditions in the field Of trans
portation.

REPEAL DISCUSSION
WITHOUT RESULTS
House Committee to Continue
Unofficial Meeting on
Garner Proposal.
Continued From First Pase)

over whether conventions or State Leg
islatures should be designated to pass
on a repeal resolution. 1t also was di-
vided on the wet and dry issue. Indi-
cations were, however that a majority
Is for some form of repeal.
While wet and dry forces squared
away for the first big test, a promise of
quick action in the Senate on both re-
peal and beer came from Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas, the Democratic
leao,-, who conferred this week with
President-elect Roosevelt at Warm
Springs, Ga.
With this promise Robinson made
the remark that he believed some ques-
ton would be raised in the Senate on
the Garner proposal because it fails to
provide protection to dry States as
promised by the Democratic platform.
Palmer Backs Submission.
Meanwhile, as prohibition organiza-
tions SAINT letters to congressional COM
mittees asking to be heard on repeal
and beer measures, A. Mitchell Palmer,
Attorney General under President VIII
son, in a brief to all members advo-
Gated submission of repeal to conven-
tions. He said it would insure an early
decision and minimize what may
amount to notification pending final
action.
with both parties committed by
their platforms, as well as by the dec
larations of their presidential candi-
dates to the submission Of repeal
amendment in one form or another to
conventions in the States" the Palmer
brief said, "it is obvious that no mat
ter how the election may have resulted,
icein Of ovnondn1ont would
have necessarily followed.
THE enormous majority with which
the people elected the Democratic ticket
must be construed as mandate from
the people to put into effect by appro-
pirate action the principles which that
party advocated in its platform
Wet Bloc Meeting Called.
Shortly afterward, however, Senator
Robinson, Republican, OF Indiana, TOOK.
an unaltered stand against changing
the Federal liquor laws, but predicted
that beer would be legalized at the
short session. He said he was anxious
to delay action on repeal and beer legis-
lation until the Democrats come into
control of Congress.
A call to the House Republican wet
bloc to meet Monday morning to con-
slider the Garner resolution was issued
by its chairman, Representative Beck.
Republican, of Pennsylvania, who said
he was confident the group will sup
port it unless some better resolution
u proposed"
Beck said, however, the Garner reeo-
luton will make the process Of ratifl-
cation more difficult and hazardous"
and suggested that a reasonable con-
cession" be made to the dry sentiment
through a further reservation in Con-
gress or the power to protect the dry
States
While am prepared to vote for the
Garner resolution" Beck said, Il be-
lieve 1t may prove to have been mis-
take to challenge the dry sentiment OF
the country with a naked repeal amend
ment." The great objective" Of the
vets should be to secure ratification. he
said, adding that he favored ratif1ca-
ton by conventions.
