MAJOR GRAINS !
REACH LIMITS
IN FAST TRADE
Commission House Selling
Checks Advance After
Opening.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press stan Cnrrrsnnndent

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-More activ-
ity than has been seen for some
time was in evidence at the open
ing of the Board of Trade TO-DAY
with the announcement the govern
ment is TO inaugurate a silver buv-
ing program. Wheat prices bumped
the top of the limit allowed in one
day.
The December future rose a.
cents, May was up 80 cents and the
July delivery was up 5 cents. Corn
showed less disposition to rally from
the lows and was up IL to 21t
cents. Oats were is to rs cents
higher.
Brokers believed all commodities
were in position to turn definitely
higher.
Political developments can be ex-
pected to be of a bullish nature.
while there is growing indication
that European production of wheat
next year will be materially less
than the last two years.
On the bulge in wheat there was
heavy selling by commission houses
which brought a reaction with july
dropping nearly two cents from the
opening.
rof1ttaking also appeared in
corn and the December delivery lost
part of the uptlwn during the first
ten minutes of trading.

BL ELMER G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Profit- tax
ing pared down gains in share and
commodity markets today after one
of the most vigorous openings in
months with prices soaring.
President Roosevelt's silver proc
lamation brought spirited outside
influence into a market dispirited by
several days of irregularity and the
approach of the Christmas holidays.
At the opening, stock prices jumped
l to 10 points.
Considerable portions of the early
gains were pared down on the stock
market. U. S. Smelling, which
opened at SO, up to 10, dropped to
g. Federal Mining retained its 10
points gain to 60 Howe Sound,
after reaching a new high of 3614
dropped back to 3412 for 212 points
gain. Cerro De Pasco held az
points of 7la points rise.
g. Weakness developed in the utility
section with heavy cling centering
on American Telephone which after
an early gain of Us points to l12,
dropped to 1865 for "a loss. Con-
solidated Gas hit a new low for the
year at 345s for = of 6 point loss.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-12-22

THIS is reaSSuring. The crisis of
u last winter has subsidized, but the
emergency which produced it is not
yet safely past. Under these condi-
tions it is most essential that the
national government should be a
strong one, for popular confidence
in the strength of government has
been the rallying point of the re-
vival of courage and hope after the
decentralization and paralysis of last
winter.
1t would be calamity if this
strength now were broken down, for
around what and around whom
would the people rally in the re-
manning three years of the admins
tration when it has lost the conf
dence of the people. Yet there is
nothing so dangerous in a troubled
time as a government which has
lost the power to govern.
1t is obstruction and deadlock
that are to be avoided, not criti-
cism and debate. There is a great
difference between the two. Under
a strategy of obstruction the oppo-
sition seeks to stop the government
and force it TO go another way;
under a strategy of criticism il
forces the government to hear COM
plant and to account for itself, but
it does not seek to deprive it of
power or responsibility.
The Republican congress which
was elected in 1918 sought to strip
President Wilson of authority to
conduct the government. The
Democratic congress elected in 1890
brought President Hoover's admin
istration to a Standstill last winter.
In neither of these congresses was
there argument. There was political
war, and it is this that sensible men
will seek to prevent.
Criticism is a wholly different
thing. 1t is most necessary. Any
administration which has exercised
as much power as this one needs
criticism for its own good. 1t needs
to hear the objections. 1t needs the
Qualification which comes from haV-
ing to explain what it is doing.
1t needs protection from its own
courtiers from the decisions of its
own unexamined premises, from the
conceit that sooner or later aff1icts
the human animal when everybody
around him says yes. 1t needs, in
short, series of great debates in
which the principles and measures
it is using are thoroughly aired,
thoroughly questioned, and thor
oughly explained. If the Republic
ans will provoke such debates, they
will do the country service.
