BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. November 9.-Creation
of a national economic council to
undertake long-range planning against
future upsets was suggested yesterday
by Gerard Swope. president of the
General Electric Co.
Swope, declaring the N. r. A. was

plans for a council that would seek
to prevent such a catastrophe in the

He spoke at the annual meeting
of the Academy of Political Science.
Daniel c. Roper, Secretary Of Com

the statement that the Presidents re-

create safer conditions in the future
Teagle Also Speaks.
Other speakers, including Walter c.
Teagle, president of the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey; Donald R. Rich
berg, general counsel of the N. r. A.,
and George A. Sloan, president of the
Cotton Textile Institute, discussed the
workings of the N R. A.
AS proposed by Swope, the National
Economic Council would consist of "a

president; representing labor. and

Another point which has not been

Acquired Bank Shares.

"It was, however, felt desirable to
have a group of our directors acquire
shares in the County Trust Co. In
order to bring this about, syndicate,
composed only of directors, was formed
and William H. English and John j.
RaSkob were appointed managers. They
were authorized to acquire the stock
and empowered to borrow such money
as was necessary to finance payment
therefor. These shares were purchased
and the loan was made by the Bankers
Trust Co. The stock so purchased was
finally issued in the names Of the re-
spective participants in the syndicate.
The syndicate never traded in the stock
IN any way, shape or form. They never
sold any of the stock except 920 shares
out of 11,176. These were disposed of
to even the account. The stock
eventually was issued in the names of
the various members of the syndicate
and the loan paid in full with interest
at the rate of 6 per cent per annum.
"On inquiry made this day find the
Bankers Trust Co. issued q participa-
ton in this loan to the Chase National
Bank, which fact was not known to me,
to the syndicate managers or TO any
member of the syndicate.
There was second syndicate formed
ny VIC 4OI IIlC
purpose Of acquiring shares to be sold
to the employees of the bank, and this
syndicate likewise chose Messrs. VIII
liam H. English and John j. RaSkob
managers. The shares so acquired were
held for account of executives and en-
ployeS and the loan referred to was
paid off at different periods, the last
part of which was paid off on October
5, 1888. The loan Of the first syndi-
cate was closed out on November 8,
1892"
Smith said he still had the stock he
bought, land I believe the rest of the
members Of the syndicate, who are all
directors of the trust company, are in
the same position
Any statement that the syndicate still
owes the bank $670,000, he said, is
absolutely false, as the loans were
paid in full on the dates above stated"

ton would take some of the balance.
The fact Mr. Sinclair himself as
well as the company's bankers, were to
join with me in the purchase, naturally
made the deal in my eyes seem all the
more desirable" the broker explained.
A second pool was formed by the
same participants and others, Cutten
said, because II realized If the market
did not advance, and We were not able
to dispose of some Of the shares pur-
chased, it would be necessary, if we
hoped to have the purchase carried out
satisfactorily without loss to the parties
in interest, to have buying power by
means of a trading account which could
make purchases of the stock tndepend-
emily of the original syndicate"
Although the stock had been at S28,
when the negotiations opened, 'Cuttm
said the day he signed the contract the
stock closed at $3.50.
Cutten said he agreed to buy the
whole block of 100000 shares. This
would have given him an immediate
profit Of more than S5,000,000.

"The salient purpose" as understood
by the Atlanta Journal "is = that of
clearing away the underground Of
bureaucracy. letting in the light of pub
licity, and seeing to it that money ap-
propriated to public Offices shall really
be productive to public services. In
these vital respects, the problem of
New York Is no different, we take it,
from that of scores Of other American
cities. 1t is the problem of tens of
millions of taxpayers, under county,
State and Federal as well as municipal
government; and not until 1t is solved
will democracy have proved itself safe
for the country"
THE reform would be drastic and
utterly destructive of partisan political
machines" thinks the Louisville Courier
Journal, and that paper adds that pro-
portional voting adds to the concentrate
ed power of every considerable element
IN the community, the second, third and
fourth choice Of their fellow citizens,
and no slate can withstand the impact
OF such popular expression" Believing
that New York Is in need of a heavy
dose of municipal remedies" the Balti-
more Sun offers the judgment that
the Seabury proposals, on the admin

direction as those put forward by for
