Q.N.SO.-Crime would cease to
be a bigtime racket under
plans for a Federal police Sys-

Vollmer, internationally known
administrator Of scientific po-
lice methods and now a mem
Der of the University Of Cali

Giving high praise to the
American Scotland Yard" plan
under consideration by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, Vollmer offered
a program for a nation wide po-
lice unit. He said:
with a highly developed ma
ti0naI police system, several
things would be possible. First,
q national clearing house for
police information. Every mi
gratOry criminal would be claS-
Sified as to method Of opera
tiOn.
I'VE know that kidnapers,
for instance, never vary their
methods to the extent that we
can not identify them. By
their methods we know them.

mer Commissioner of Internal
Revenue; Alexander w. Gregg,
former chief counsel for the Rev.
enue Bureau; and Undersecretary
Of Treasury Arthur A. Ballantine.
Sustaining demurrerS to the
declaration, Justice Proctor held
the charges made by Olson were
defective by reason of the vague
ness and uncertainty" The dec
laration charged the defendants
permitted a group of foreign
steamship companies to evade
payment of more than $100, ,00O,-
600 in income taxes. The suit
was brought under a Federal

twice that amount and provid-
ing half of the recovery for the

Il TRADING

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 UN.sJ.
Strength in foreign government
loans featured a spotty bond mar
ket through the forenoon today.
Demand for major Continental
loans was buoyed by the further
sharp advance in foreign currency
rates against the dollar. Switzer-
land 512s spurted more than a
point to a new high. United King
dom As also rose to a new peak
and Sweden 51as duplicated their
previous top.
U. S. Governments we're little
changed, with Treasury 314s and
Treasury IS up fractionally, and
Treasury IS unchanged.
Rails were mixed, with Kansas
City Southern IS a weak spot,
breaking several points. Southern
Pacific Is Of IS, and Erie IS Of

firm tone prevalent in Baltimore
and Ohio refunding SIS. St. Paul

Domestic corporation lists were
irregular, but investment utilities

Continued Recessions
Laid to Uncertainty

So did lard and pork, copper and
zinc.
Gold buying is not apt to have
much effect on our domestic com
modify prices unless done on a
large scale in foreign markets,
and that would probably be so dis
turbing to foreign exchange rates
that it will not be attempted.
Two Prime Factors
The present condition of bust
ness is due to two immediate
factors:
l. The renewed uncertainty as
to Government activities, includ-
ing monetary policy, and a flight"
from the dollar Qargely to the
pound). Business sentiment has
not responded well to psychology
cal treatment this time.
2. The deflation of the "infla-
ton" of last summer. The over
stimulation of fear buying" and
speculation on anticipated infla-
ton, has resulted in the expected
reaction.
To the extent that the slump
is just a natural reaction from
the unwarranted summer squirt,
we may be hopeful that it will
not go much further. The "correc-
ton" may soon be completed and
business become stabilized and
ready for Sounder expansion.
But the uncertainty factor re-
mains, and it is impossible to see
clearly what can be done about
it. What is to be done with the
gigantic MIRA machine? At
the same time that we read of
belated MIRA paradeS in some
Eastern towns, we also read Of
farm strikes against it, talk of
substituting the "Swope Plan"
and the Wall Street view that
it is "a flop"
Money Still Question
Above all, the money question
is as much a question as ever.
This makes investment and bust
ness plans impossible, because of
uncertainty as to the value of the
dollar.
If we give people money, they
will buy things, but then pro-
ducers find their costs raised. If
we cheaper money it may help
debtors, but it hurts creditors and
they won't make new loans ex-
cept at big premiums to offset an
anticipated decline in dollars.
So even after the over-produc-
ton and speculative buying Of
the summer are corrected" we
will still have to deal with the
uncertainty factor before sound
business recovery can occur.

Brings Heavy Demand
The unexpected total forecast
by the Department of Agriculture
influenced a heavy demand for
contracts from the trade, COM
mission houses, Wall Street and
professionals.
Selling for the most part was
restricted to scattered hedge,
Southern and local offerings.
Weather details were not favor
able. There were showery con-
ditionS in the East and cold
rains in the West.
Hindrance Everywhere
This is neither facilitating pick
ing and ginning nor helping the
remnant of the crop still in the
fields.

nounced today. The indicated

More cheerful sentiment pre-

Trade remained dull, however,

easily absorbed.
The market opened steady to a
shade easier, then turned upward,
wheat being % to 3sc up at mid
session, corn % to 12c up, oats
Zee up and rye "a to lac up.
Repeal of the prohibition
