Gambling Made Easy.

The gamblers in Wall Street in the
days of the big boom-the l926-l929
period-had everything made as easy
for them as possible. Those who had
never gambled before were seized with
the fever, and if they were not so
seized they were persuaded into a
market of which the sky seemed to be
the limit. The banks have been ac-
cused of supplying the money-the
call loans, etc.-to conduct this vast
speculation. Now, however, it appears
that the banks were by no means
alone in this great game Of Specula-
ton, but that billions upon billions
of dollars were loaned by industrial
corporations to be used by brokers
and clients In their speculative enter
prises on the Stock Exchange. It was
developed yesterday before the Senate
Committee on Banking and Currency,
which has during the last two years
been investigating the operations of
the Stock Exchange and Of banks and
brokers that in 1929 twenty big corpo-
rations made total of $20,527, ,320, 900
Street loans" The counsel for the
committee, Ferdinand Pecora, esti-
mated that If the activities of all the
industrial corporations were known,
the total of such loans would be many
times twenty billions of dollars.
1t is true that these twenty cor
porations did not have outstanding
S20,527, 100000 in call loans at one
time. This was the aggregate of all
their loans during the year, and the
peak OF their loans in the Street" at
any one time was $765. 1903, 1866. In
cluded in this list of twenty corpora
tions were some of the most widely
known industrial concerns in the
country.
The point of the whole matter is
that these great concerns were able,
through amassing huge surpluses, to
aid in the tremendous stimulation of
speculation in the stock market, and
that they were not only able but will
ing to do so. The country would have
been far better off if these huge sur
pluses had not been permitted to roll
up and then to be used to stimulate
the gambling fever Of the people. The
very fact that such surpluses were
developed shows that there was fall
ure to distribute profits made in the
industries to the labor and the capital
which made these industries possible.
And the very fact that these surpluses
were used to stimulate stock market
gambling demonstrates the vicious
circle. 1t is not pretty picture to
reveal either to the owners Of stock in
these corporations or to the men and
women who worked in mills and Of
fees and factories. These huge sums
should have been distributed either in
wages or in dividends, or in both,
rather than merely amassed and used
IN Wall Street or to pay huge bonuses
to certain individuals.

High Lights on the Wide World
Excerpt. From Newspapers Of Other Lands

Attempts at government control
Of the dissemination, frequently as
they have been made, have never
succeeded in yelling the truth. They
have, indeed, had no opposite effect,
for the news it has been desired to
suppress has eventually got out and
by reason Of the fact that there was
an attempt to suppress 1t become
more important than it otherwise
would have been. What officials do
not appear to realize is that the
more obstacles that are put in the
way of a journalist in the securing
and dispatching of news to his news
paper, the more determined does he
become to see that the information
he has obtained does arrive at its
destination, and the more devices
does he employ to secure for his
efforts.
Except in times Of war the insti-
tuition of a censorship is politically
unsound. The knowledge that news
is being suppressed, or perhaps
changed by the censors, Is, more
often than not, more significant to
the average reader than the news
he is permitted to read, and then
the censorship defeats its own OBJ
jects. That has been the experience
Of the Soviet, and latterly Of Ger
many, while. coming a little closer
home. China's own endeavors along
the same lines have not been any
too fruitful.
Building Rushed
To Provide Work.
El Comercio, Lima.-Last night
we received committee from an
association of day laborers, most OF
them living in the quarter where, as
we stated day or two ago, the
construction Of new building to
house the first penny cafeteria is un-
der advisement. This delegation ex-
pressed the hope that work would
be started Immediately on this prof.
ect, and desired, also, that those liv-
ing in the vicinity should be given
preference in the matter Of employ
ment.
These citizens declared themselves
heartily in favor of the motives
of Senor Ipince y Leon, whose idea
Is thus to be given tangible form,
and are willing to work for much
reduced stipends in order that cheap
and healthful food may become avail
able at the earliest possible moment
for class long suffering from in
ability to secure such aliment.
This is really a work of public
assistance, and we take pleasure in
subscribing to these pleas for its
early accomplishment, which first
will give occupation to many badly
in need of it, and then substantial
and palatable aliment to those not
previously able to afford it.

11lNC 4bA1A ASAAAAs AAS
of the Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform. Au-
thorized by Mrs. Charles H. Sabin.
By Grace c. Root. New York:
Harper & Bros.
The rapidity and the violence with
which the United States swung into
and out Of legal prohibition daze the
innocent bystander and make him ex-
tremely uncertain about what are
called historical tendencies. While
the arguments have been hot between
the propagandists Of both sides, the
proponents and antagonists Of pro-
hibition legislation, large number OF
the American people, perhaps a ma
jority, have had only an academic in
terest in the subject. They have been
much more interested in the stock
market, wage scales, the price of COM
modities and the tax on gasoline. A
glass of beer? Yes, they like one
occasionally, but never miss 1t If 1t Is
not at hand. A wine or two with din
ner? That is pleasant, but, after all,
doesn't matter much. Highballs and
cocktails? They don't care for them
or their doctor has advised against
them. In discussing the subject, they
have thought prohibition was prob
ably a good thing because 1t would
promote steadiness among workers,
better feeding Of children, bigger saw
ings accounts; or that the prohibition
amendment had no place In the Fed
eral Constitution and that the matter
should have been left to the States;
or that you cannot legislate morality
and self-control into people. The
temperance and other organizations,
as well as individuals, working for the
amendment have published many vol
umes and reports; the organizations
working for repeal have published
comparatively little. This book by
Grace Root begins with an interesting
