Today and Tomorrow

The Crack

Last weeks decline on the stock market, as measured by the Herald Tribune's index, erased all the gains since the lows of June 16. This may be more than an interesting coincidence. For it was during the week of June 10 to June r that the Administration and the Dele gation in London began to tumble the task of monetary management. It was in that week that the first attempt at stabilizaion was made and rejected, and following the in- cident the Administration became more and more impatient with pro posals for monetary control. Tn rather rapid succession statements were issued which not only reject ed stabilization, but went on to reject with increasing vehemence all projects for discouraging spec ulation against the dollar.
 That this policy of refusing to exercise any monetary control was the chief cause of the speculation which cracked up last week can scarcely be doubted. Nor can it, I think, be denied that those respon- sible for monetary policy in Wash lington were the victims of a con- fusion of mind, having failed to distinguish between immediate stabiliZation and de facto return to the gold standard, which were neither practicable nor desirable and the sober, orderly management of money which, for country off lthe gold standard, is indispensable. The trouble has not been that the Administration refused to stabilize but that its method of rejecting Stabilization was not balanced by measures to control a speculation in the dollar which reflected itself in stocks and commodities. The re- fusal to stabilize the dollar became identified in the minds of specula- tors with a refusal to manage and control the dollar, whereas in a well conceived policy the decision not to stabilize should have carried with it. an increased determination to manage and control.
 
 While the fundamental cause of the extremely unhealthy specula- tion has been the indecision and indetermination of the Administra- tion's monetary policy, an impor- tant contributing cause was the excessive efficiency with which Am- erican markets are organized to en- courage the deep speculative in- stinct of the American people. Our love of speculation has it's roots deep in our history. A nation which has expanded as we have expanded upon the righest. natural resources in the world is naturally and in- evitably bullish. There is no reason to be aStonished that speculation | is easier to incite in America than anywhere else in the world. On the whole and in the long run specula- ton for rise has always seemed to justify itself.
 1 But this instinct to speculate has cost much in the past. In the pres ent, when the economic machinery has become so intricate, specula- tion is by way of becoming a dan- gerous vice That is the reason why it has become necessary to seek out

easy to devise such measures and even less easy to have the cour- age to employ them. But the main facts are perfectly clear. It is alto gether too easy to buy on the ex- changes and much too easy to bor- row in order to buy. The trading mechanism is SO efficient that, with the large public participation in the markets, the ordinary man scorcely realizes that he has bought into a property when he telephones his broker to buy some shares, or that he has gone into debt when his broker sets up margin account. When to this you add the fact that really understandable infor- nation on which to base judgments of value is not available to the or dinary man so that he really buys blind, on tips, under pressure of salesmen, on superstitious lunches, and under the invisible influence of pools, you arrive at condition where to the large public, the stock market is gambling casino. It is no exaggeration to say that the average small speculator knows less about his stocks than the man who bets on horses at race track. The horse he can at least see, but his stocks are abstract symbols com- municated to him on the ticker.
 If all that happened on the ex- changes were that the lambs were shorn, one might say that gamblers must take their losses. But this form of gambling which we indulge in is far more dangerous than horse racing, or roulette, or poker, or the national lotteries which are common in other countries. Our gambling is inextricably entangled with business and agriculture and whenever it becomes serious it en- dangers the whole system by which men earn their living. It is so thoroughly infectious that when the fever is on banking and business and political judgment are betray- ed, as they were on grand scale in l928-l929, on a smaller scale in the past thirty days. For it might as well be admitted that the same fear of hurting business" which prevented the Coolidge and Hoover Administrations from acting in time has in some considerable measure prevented the Roosevelt Administration from taking con- trol.
 The lesson of this crackup is clear. The Administration must make up it's mind to manage the dollar. All it's other projects are important, but unless there is firm, intelligent management of money, they will be insecure and will in the end be defeated. Over and above the recovery which nat ural forces here and abroad have produced, the great recent advance in the United States has clearly been due to monetary influences. These influences are the central and dynamic part of the movement since April, and nothing else is much worth doing unless these in- fluences are wisely directed.

 The repeal juggernaut has safely rounded the halfway mark toward inevitable goal The crumbling of two Southern obstacles seems to have made that assurance doubly leaving merely a doubt just how fast the future pace.
 Tennessee and Oregon will this week unquestion- ably raise to of State the list now carry ing the additions of Alabama and Arkansas. in each of which former dry citadels 60 per cent of the voters appear to have gone wet" Possibly party leaderships appeal and the argument of fiscal relief counted heavily; but the main factor would seem to be an onsweep of the contagion of revolt Iagainst discredited experiment.
 The swing of Southern sentiment most signifi- Icantly attests the national character of the dis approval of Prohibition a doctrine and a method. And that wide emphasis should in itself count heavily against any artifcialy ob- structve tactics by dry" leaders to compass delay if not defeat of repeal. Such tactics merely spell a betrayal of their avowed hopes of temper ance, in leading to virtual "nullfication" they would call it. and the abandonment of the field to the bootlegger.
 As things moving politically there is in evidence just the counterpart of what occurred in 1919 when the "bandwagon" stage reached in the rapid capture of affrighted State Legislatures to clinch the experiment. Now the opposite hap pens in terms of pebscites, with popular sentiment at last given expression
 Repeal, perhaps within this present year. will lenfranchise the Constitution well the people in the sense of freeing it from incubus which never should have been thrust upon it. I Then will ensue a new experimentation which II should learn something alike from mistakes of a dozen years past and from abuses of many years before that,-in the way of sane regulation.

 BERLIN. June 8.-The world eco- homie conference in London will be regarded as a success by Ger many, according to authoritative information here, if it lowers trade barriers, stabilizes currency, re- moves restrictions upon the ex- change of monies between coun- tries and thus points the way to relieving unemployment.
 Work, in this country of more than 5,000O00 jobless, is the press ing need of the common man.
 Tariff Barriers Decried
 To reduce unemployment, Ger many will argue that artificial tar tiff barriers erected since the world war must fall on all sides, so that normal intercourse can again take place.
 It will further be necessary that international regulation be effected for reducing the interest rate on capital borrowed before the big economic depression set in.
 Also it will be necessary to ef- feet some sort of international sta- bilization of currencies, so that the producers in countries With stable currencias may be relieved of uncertainty in calculating thelr prices as compared with those of fluctuating currencies.
 Gold, Germany will argue, is still the best standard.
 North and South American in- terests in the German delegations proposals probably will center in crop reduction and consolidation of Germany's short term loans into longer term credits. By snoring up her tariff walls Germany has al most succeeded in stopping agricul- tural imports from the western hemisphere.
 Crop Deal Visioned
 In exchange for reductions in crop acreage, with the attendant increase in world prices, the gov ernment, it is believed, would be willing to reduce it's agricultural tariffs.
 As vital to industry as the agri- cultural discussions are to farmers, is the problem of private debts as they appear in German eyes. Much of the German business tension sprang from the necessity, previous to the "standstill" agreement, of finding the foreign exchange e. cessary to meet recurring maturi- ties of short term credits.
 Currency Question Vital
 It is possible that the German delegations big drive at London will have as it's goal the consolida- tion of these billion dollars worth of short term credits into longer term loans coupled with their prob able refinancing at lower rates of interest.
 The attitude of German business men, who daily must combat the competition from countries whose currencies fluctuate is that tariff revision or other remedies will be of small value unless the currency problems, including reestablishment of the gold standard in several Eu ropean countries, have been solved. Optimism, formerly rather elusive, concerning the London gathering, seems to have come from hiding since President Roosevelt's prelim- mary meetings.
