PROTECTS
INVESTORS

In an effort to protect nveS-
tors and to simplify and STAN
dardize laws pertaining to the
incorporation of stock companies
operating in interstate commerce,
a unified Federal measure will
be introduced at the next seS'
sion Of Congress.
The bill is being drafted by
officials who consider present
protection to the public afforded
by State laws is inadequate and
should be supplemented by Q
Federal statute.
It was explained that the pro
posed legislation was entirely
separate from the securities act
as it would serve a much broader
purpose.
Unlike practically all other
leading countries, the United
States has no unified code Of
Federal laws governing stock cor
porationS. In this country incor-
poration regulation has been left

Before we had q chance to
