most things, the senate passed the ad-
ministration bill for the control of Sc
curities sold in interstate commerce.
Differences between the senate meas
ure and that already put through the

holders of foreign bonds that are in
default.
Under the bill, the. federal trade
commission will become the governing
body of the securities trade. Persons
or corporations about to sell securi-
ties in interstate commerce and agents
of foreign governments about to sell
foreign securities must register each
issue with the commission, together
with detailed information concerning
the issue.
