support by the American people for
his pacific endeavors.

opposition delegates in the formal

of Cuban political insecurity, Mr.

ment extolling the advantages of ''the
resort to reason" over the resort to
violence"
The peace discussions will De actively

hold conversations with Mr.. Welles.
Reads Roosevelt Message.
In talking with the representatives
of both sides, Ambassador WelleS read
to them the text of his cablegram from
President Roosevelt, which was as fol-
lows: -.
1T is very heartening, and the source
OF much satisfaction to me to Know
that Cuban people now believe that a
peaceful discussion of their country'S
problems is the most satisfactory
means of determining Their country'S
destinies, and that the best way OF
reconciling their political difficulties is
to be found in the peaceable and Or
derly process of frank but construc-
tive discussions. 1 wish the Cuban
people every success in these discus
sions. for I am convinced that the
restoration of political peace is neces-
~Sary and preliminary step on the way
to Cuba's economic recovery. The rep
resentatives of all factions may rest
assured that the moral support of the
American people will be behind these
attempts at the peaceabie adjustment
of Cuban problems through the o.
derly procedure of constitutional gov
eminent"

explaining his hopes and desires fol
Lilc llCSObLd
1T very frequently happens he said,
'that in a domestic quarrel the as
sistance and advice of a disinterested
friend, in whom the members of that
family have confidence, are of use in
emphasizing the advantages of the re-
sort to reason, rather than the resort
to violence"
Mr.. Welles expressed his hope and
that of the American Government trat
the negotiations thus begun might lead
to a solution of existing political prob
lens, in accordance with constitu-
tional procedure.
1T Is a self-evident truth he said
''that such a solution must necessarily
favor neither one interest nor another
but the Cuban people as whole. That
solution can only be found through
the free and common consent of those
groups represented here. That s1lu-
ton must. likewise, be solution freely
conceived and freely arrived at by the
Cuban people themselves
IF, in this manner and upon such
foundation, solution of the present
Cuban political problem is found. il

Kahn told the Senate investigators
it was sort of annual custom among
Wall Street operators to sell stocks at
the end of each year to take losses for
tax reducing purposes, but said 1t should
be stopped.
Kahn also recommended repeal Of
the capital gains and loss provision of
the tax law, saying 1t permitted the
Government to gamble on the pros

The recently enacted tax program in
the industrial recovery act stopped up
several loopholes in the tax laws, but
Fletcher said he believed further
tightening was necessary.
Not only was the partnership dis

are now prohibited from carrying over

1T is only fair to say that already,

Morgan g. Co. and Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co.,
the need for more stringent laws with
reference to the issuance and sale Of
securities is evident to entirely, or as
nearly as possible, safeguard the

The present Federal securities act to
certain extent will accomplish this
purpose, but it is only reasonable to as
sumo that during the course Of the
hearings scheduled for the future there
will be additional developments and
these will enable the Congress to deter
mine whether or not the present securi-
