'Traylor Finds Too Much Silence
Responsible for Business Slump

economies in management or ina
creased profits therefrom. Little or
no consideration was given TO the
nature of the businesses involved:
in one instance, for example, soaps
and candies were united. Such
combinations and mergers were
promoted and securities were sold
on the theory that temporary earn
ings derived from a false demand
would not only continue, but would
forever increase.
Furthermore, these securities were
not sold to those in position to buy,
or who could buy for investment
purposes, but rather to those lesa
able to buy-to men and women
fascinated by high-powered sales'
manship and an inbOrn desire to
gamble for big profits. Was such
financial leadership calculated to
inspire confidence or make for an
economic stability which insureS
social welfare? l am afraid not.
But financial leadership did NOT
stop there. 1t actively promoted the
purchase of equity stocks and split
its own unit of stock par in order!
as it said, to bring it's market values
within the reach of the small in
vestor May 1 add, parenthetically.
that such action would have been
unnecessary for their purpose had
they waited only few months.
Financial leaders organized and
promote ted so-called investment
trusts to give the small investor a.
chance to profit from wise Financially
leadership, made foreign loans of
speculative value, and, altogether,
followed the procession obviously
intent upon getting theirs while tho
getting was good.
Must Chart New Course
Are we to have a repetition Of
this kind of financial leadership? II
it be true-as l believe it is-thati
credit is the life-blood of the nal
tion, and that there can be no eco;
nomic stability or social progress
without a sound financial structure;
and if it be true-as 1 also believe
that no financial system is
sounder or more useful than it's
management, then financial leader
ship in this country must take
stock of itself, turn over new leaf,
and chart a new course Of conduct
for its future guidance.
II it be objected that lot all finan-'
cial leaders are guilty of such mis-
conduct - and certainly there are
some who are not-the Indictment
nevertheless, stands. AS far as the
record discloses, not one had thel
courage to fight in the open against
the tendencies he knew were wrong
and to demand a right-about-facfJ

there is no denying the fact that

tributed to the success of this colorful
oPeretta. The Japanese costuming
was very effective, and each charac-
ter and the chorus of this delightful
play deserves much credit for their
clever acting and singing. Miss E.
Jones charmed the audience with an
oriental dance given effectively in
the japanese garden. Mrs. Harris
exhibited her whistling ability by
cleverly entertaining the audience
between acts.
