CONSERVATIVE CONTROL

THE much modified bill for stock market
regulation meets the effective criticisms
OF the original bill. In almost every vital pro-
vision. the tendency of the new measure is to
err, if at all, on the side of leniency. When
it has seemed difficult to curb speculative ex-
cesses completely without injuring legitimate
investment, the authors of the bill have given
leeway to banks and to business.
We are not competent to pass on all the
technicalities OF the bill, and we have no doubt
that it contains imperfections
But as a general measure we believe it
makes the maximum of concessions which
should be made to the powerful though dis
credited Wall Street group, opposing effec-
tive government regulation. With industry
and the entire nation the victims of an un-
regulated stock market, as demonstrated by
recent disasters, the public need for effective
federal regulation in our judgment is con-
elusive and final. Credit dominates America,
and Wall street dominates credit
Until a few weeks ago the Wall Street
crowd insisted that there be no outside regu-
lation, that they were capable of self-reform
and self-regulation. This subterfuge blew up
in their faces when the senate investigation
showed that some of the worst market
manipulation occurred in recent months after
self-reform and self-regulation were supposed
to be in effect. Now that some kind of fed
eral regulation has become inevitable they are
making last-ditch fight to control or emascu-
late the regulating agency Naturally, they
object to an independent public agency such
as the federal trade commission. To the
proposal that they be represented on the
regulating body, Representative Samuel Ray
burn has given the adequate reply, as follows:
IF the American people should permit the
stock exchanges in substance to name the
government commission set to regulate the
stock exchanges the regulated business would
soon be regulating their regulators. Insofar
as the federal trade commission will need ex-
pert advice or the benefit of special pleading,
the American people can better afford to let
the commission hire and pay for it than have
Wall Street supply the regulatory body with
a gift of a couple of dollar-a-year men of
its own"
American business can not survive many
more manipulated markets The very con-
sentative object of this administration bill is
to salvage a part of the capitalist system
which has almost destroyed itself.

A STRIKE TO BE AVOIDED

THOSE runblings of labor trouble in the
Detroit automobile manufacturing area
have an ominous sound. The ordinary citi-
zen, more or less unfamiliar with the exact
ms and outs of the argument. will be inter
ested chiefly in hoping that the strike which
is threatened does not come off.
He has right to hope that there is
enough good sense, forbearance and public
spirit among employers and labor leaders,
and enough leadership in the adninistra-
ton, to avert this strike in some way. and
he probably doesn't care greatly who has to
make concessions to do it.
The reviving motor industry is keying our
whole industrial pickup. A major strike that
interrupted production would be little less
than calamity In one way or another, it
must be prevented

IN PRAISE OF OUR SCHOOLS

A MEXICAN schools, says Professor Albert
L a Einstein, have one great virtue - they
preserve the initiative and independence Of
pupils far more successfully than do the
schools of Europe.
What one must demand from the school
in the first place is something negative"
says the great mathematician. ut should
not suppress in the young feeling Of in
dependence, a joy of living, personal initia-
tive and the urge for knowledge
This most important demand the schools
of the United States fill in most satisfactory
manner, in contrast to the schools Of the
greater part of Europe"
Usually when American schools are COM
pared with European schools, the comparison
is not in the least fattering to the Amer
lean institutions.
1t is exceedingly interesting-and encour-
agng-to find that as great an authority on
such matters as DR.. Einstein feels that they
are doing their job so well.

OLD TRAIL CALLS TRAVELLER

CONGRESSMEN from three southern states
~ are trying to get Uncle Sam to spend
s25,O00OO0 to put modern paved highway
along the route of the famous old Natchez
Trace; and any motorist who has any feeling
at all for one of the most colorful of all our
pioneer trails will hope that Uncle Sam can
see his way clear to oblige them.
The Natchez Trace was what passed for
road, a century and more ago, running for
some $50 miles through the woods and swamps
from Nashville, Tenn, to Natchez, Miss. cross
ing what now are Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi.
1t probably was the scene of more plain
and fancy violence. bloodshed and murder
than any other road in America.
In the old days when the country west of
the Alleghenies and south of the Ohio just
was being opened-when the famous Burr
conspiracy" was in the air, and Andrew Jack
son was being talked of. and steamboats, still
were in the future-the produce of the rich
Tennessee and Kentucky farm lands went to
market at New Orleans by f1atboat, down the
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. over the
Ohio and down the Mississippi.
1t was easy to get one of those heavy and
unwieldy hatboats down the river, but ex-
ceedingly difficult to get it back upstream.
So the boatmen-rough, tough chaps who
boosted that they were half horse and half
alligator" leave the Mississippi at
Natchez on their way back home, and strike
out overland for Nashville. ard the wilderness
road they followed was the great Natchez
Trace.
Because it was used by so many travellers
who carried large quantities of cash. the re-
suit of their sales in the New Orleans mar
ket, the Trace before long became a favored
spot for highwaymen.
The country was thinly settled. law en-
forcement was a thing almost unknown, OPP
portunities for ambush were innumerable.
So the Natchez Trace became a great
scene of violence. Robbery and murder were

ANOTHER PROMISE

TINE epitome and synthesis of Americas
aim and purpose in the Philippines-it is
the fulfllment of her pledge and the glorious
GROWING of her humanitarian task" Thus
Senior Guevara. the resident commissioner, de-
scribes the Tydings- McDufe independence bill
which is about to become law.
Senior Guevara exaggerates. This bill. which
provides for independence in from twelve to
fourteen years under certain conditions, is
not fulfllment. It merely crowns several
old pledges with another pledge.
But the enthusiasm of the Filpinos for this
bill is understandable. For it represents a
sincere desire on tae Presidents part and a
changed attitude on the part of congressional
leaders. After the Philippine legislature re-
, jected the Hawes-Cutting law some congress
sional leaders were so angry they assumed
take-it-or-leave-it attitude That was the
spirit of the recent resolution of the senate
committee on territories, which threatened to
destroy friendly relations between the United
States and the Philippines.
But. thanks to the belated intervention of
the President. and to the good sense OF Senior
Quezon and of Senator Tydings a satisfactory
temporary compromise was worked out That
IS the Tydings- McDuf1e bill
1t eliminates only one of the three major
Philippine objections to- she rejected Hawes-
Cutting measure Of which it is largely YER
batim replica: That is it provides for Amer
lean military withdrawal upon independence.
But the bill rests on the definite pledge Of the
President and the congressional leaders to
Philippine officials that The United States later
will negotiate fair settlement of the other
Objectionable features of the bill, especially re-
garding American naval bases and the unequal
trade provisions which would virtually destroy
the economic life Of the islands.
Theoretically that seems rather an absurd
and involved postponement Of justice-if the
administration is sincere in desiring to correct
the injustices why doesn't it do so n the new
bin instead of re-enacting injustices for later
MODIFICATION That is pertinent question.
/. But there are two good answers: one is
that the present congress viii not pass COM
