In fact. the Smith statement could

If they grant any bad loans, the ad-

howl. It will close them up.

Terminal May Be New Site.
Selection of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road passenger terminal In Jersey CITY
as the temporary site for the New
Jersey Stock Exchange was freely fore
cast In usually well-informed Stock Ex-
change quarters this afternoon.
Several commission houses were ar
ranging to have their order rooms
transferred to Jersey City and were
negotiating for Office space and tele-
phone wires. Brokers said that trading
would start on October with a list Of
rs active stocks which would be en-
larged as rapidly as possible. Trading
would cease in New York in issues
moved to New Jersey, it was explained.
The Governing Committee Of the Ex-
change was expected to meet late in
the day, and, barring some last-minute
change OF plan, several Exchange men,
bers understood selection of the Jersey
site would be announced following the
meeting. It was pointed out that the
site could be reached within q few
minutes by both ferry and tube from
lower Manhattan.
It was expected that the stock ticker
would quote both New York and New
Jersey prices, inasmuch as there would
be no duplication Of trading In indi-
vidual issues. This, 1t was explained,
would obviate setting up . separate
ticker system.
In the meantime, Stock Exchange
quarters were prepared to wage strong
legal contest against the new city taxes.
Regardless Of the outcome Of this con-
test, many members Of the exchange
said they favored moving to New Jer-
sey, to avoid the New York State stock
transfer and income taxes already In
effect.
Some leaders in the financial district
Street area Of the city. should the Stock
Exchange be removed. lock. stock and

Banking Center May Shift.
It was explained that the Stock Ex-
change had been the chief factor in
knitting the financial district together
and holding it on the tip Of Manhattan
Island. In the meantime, there has
been . considerable movement Of onces
Of leading corporations away from the
financial area to mid Manhattan.
The Stock Exchange business necessi-
tates the actual physical delivery Of
securities from one ONCE to another,
including banks as well as brokerage
offices. With this business removed,
much of the banking and other financial
business, it was explained, might also
drift to the midtown area.
While Stock Exchange omcials were
considering various sites for temporary
location Of the new market, probably
in Newark or Jersey City, some Stock
Exchange quarters were discussing
plans for the erection Of a new Stock
Exchange building In New jersey.
The suggestion was made that with
the l-cent- share State tax avoided by
the removal, as well as the new 4-cent
city tax, the exchange itself might levy
the small charge Of l cent . share,
which should net q few million dollars
Q year, and quickly defray the expense
Of building complete new quarters.
It was announced this morning that
426 Of the $50 regular members Of the
New York Curb Exchange had signified
their willingness to move to New Jersey.
Also, 103 Of the 40 associate member
are ready to 60.

mite results the Rooseveltian program is be-
ginning TO achieve.
Five months ago, this band Of irrecon-
cilables could and did attack the new deal on
the grounds that it wouldn't work. But today
that argument has been scotched.
The new deal is working. 1t already has
put 1000 900 men back to work. 1t has meant
wage increases for hundreds Of thousands Of
employees. 1t has meant shorter hours for
millions.
In the face Of all this, the silly talk about
Communism" revolutionary changes" cen
tralzed government" etc. is hard to under
stand.
Even though these Hoovercrats are skeptical
about the new deal, they at least might give
it a chance to work. Fairness alone calls for
that
Yet. they persist in making foolish
prophecies, in pointing out handwriting on the
wall that is visible to no one else.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

weIl-integrated group "eager to oppose any
reduction in war department expenditures and
avid for more free two-week vacations in
summer military camps more free rifle amnu-
milton, snapper and costlier uniforms bigger
and better bands, more travel allowances and
free handouts all around.
ct means, also, a powerful and we'll
financed military lobby in Washington and
every state capital. a definite and subsidized
class beholden to our war department" Such
are the extravagant and ramifed activities of
the war department for political and propa-
ganda purposes.
Worst of all is the ineficiency and made
quacy Of our army and our military program.
We have only 81 900 men in our regular army,
though we spend more on our land forces than
some countries with an army ten times this
size Of these $4,000, not more than 10000
could be put into the field at once to defend
us from invasion in an emergency.
We do not have more than 10 per cent Of
the men who would be required to man our
coast and harbor defenses. We have fewer
than 300 fighting airplanes-a mere handful
compared to those of France and Italy Yet
we pay enough for military aviation to have
one of the largest and best air forces in the
world.
In short, in spite Of the fact that we lead
the world in expenditures for ornaments, we
do not have even respectable defense force.
We have a plan for organizing a fictitious
army for a war which never will take place
and none for defending us in probable con-
fict.
1t is time we had a new deal in military as
well as economic affairs. We need small
well-trained army, promoted according to
merit rather than longevity, and organized to
defend us if the invader ever does come to our
shores.
Today we veritably have nothing more than
a 1890 100000 skeleton" which is a snare and
delusion and keeps 125,OOo,0Oo citizens in a
fools paradise.

WAY OPENED FOR PROGRESS

DACK Of all the concrete developments of
~ the new program at Washington there
exists profound change in the outlook of
the American people-a change which, in the
long run. well may prove the most important
single development Of the whole new deal"
This changed outlook finds its reflection
in the various legislative and administrative
acts by which the administration is seeking
to implement recovery.
But it is a deeper thing than any mere
change in the machinery of government or
political theory; it is not born of any party
and it does not owe it's existence to the pres
ence or absence Of any particular group on
Capitol Hill
Briefly. this change can be described by
saying that we at last have got entirely away
from the psychology and the odd kind of
idealism that characterized US during near
ly all the '20s.
We have outgrown, that is to say, a stage
in our history during which we were per-
haps the most purely materialistic people on
earth. In that stage we worshiped material
success in a way that was almost devout
With very few exceptions, our heroes were
the men who knew how to make money fast
and we weren't very particular about how
they made it. The go-getter and the high
pressure lad were in the limelght, and most
of us envied them and tried to copy them
That this was an extremely unhealthy Pc
Rod is, by this time, pretty clear. The ma
chine age was beginning to dump its great
est problems in our laps, and we blithely ig
nored them, because the machine age was
making some people very rich.
The seeds of all our present misfortunes
took root in those days, and we were too self
satisfied to try to dig them out.
We are wiser now, and in our attainment
OF wisdom we have had something very like
a spiritual rebirth
For in giving up our slavish admiration OF
money and the money-makers, we have made
possible return to the traditional Amer
lean idealisnl.
We have stopped defining progress as a
steady increase in the number of millionaires,
and because of. that fact we have opened the
way for progress of the only kind that is
worth making-the progress that represents
fuller and wider life for the ordinary man.

THE HOOvERCRATs EMERGE

IT isn't often that the Hoovercrats emerge
Il from their enforced seclusion to take pot
shots at the new deal.
For one thing, they have learned that it's
unpopular to attack a system which is getting
results, where their own failed so miserably.
For another, few people will listen to their
walls about the passing of their cherished
rugged individualism."
So. for the most part. these political tories
have remained on the sideIines. saving their
verbal ammunition for special occasions and
sympathetic audiences.
The recent convention Of the American
Bar Association was such an occasion. From
start to finish. it was a field day for those
who dislike what is going on today in Wash
ington. And they made the most Of their
opportunity.
Clarence A. Martin, president Of the aSso-
citation, bitterly denounced the child labor
amendment to the federal Constitution 1t
was. he said. "a Communist attempt to ma
tionalize Americas children"
Democratic Senator Patrick A. McCarran
Of Nevada. accused President Roosevelt of
violating the principles of the Democratic
party by the NRA and other emergency legis-
iation.
He. hgIratively. raised his hands in horror
at the revolutionary character of the new
deal. declaring that it sweeps away the struc-
lures fought for and reared by the great JEFF
ferson."
other speakers bemoaned the passing of
state rights in favor Of a centralized govern
ment. That, too, they said. was deserving the
principles laid down by the fathers Of the
nation.
And as a final touch. the association was
called upon to approve the NRA only as a
Temporary expedient"-this approval to be
Withdrawn as soon as the necessity is re-
moved.
There is nothing to get alarmed about in
the utterances Of these opponents Of the old
order Of things Fortunately. they speak Only
for a discredited minority-and as the repre-
sentatives of a system that had its chance and
failed
yet. it is strange that the events Of the
last five months have not softened their OPP
nosition to the new deal 1t is strange that
these political tories are blind to what the
rest az the country sees 50 clearly-the del
