Several other recovery units sup
plement the work of the AAA
through more specified channels.
One of the largest is the Farm
Credit Administration, created to
supervise the Statewide refinanc-
ing of farm mortgages and the
unification of all governmental
farm credit agencies under a
single control.
Surplus Relief Unit
The Federal Surplus Relief Cor
poration is devised not only to
assist farmers in getting setter
prices for their products, but also
to benefit the unemployed by
the purchase and distribution to
the needy of surplus livestock.
Thus, the farmer not only dis
poses of products which other
wise would be wasted, but the
standards of relief programs are
raised through the distribution Of
more nutritious food to victims Of
the economic crisis.
One of the most vital problems
The Washington times., 1934-01-01

facing the country's leaders when
the recovery program got under
way was that of immediate and
direct relief to millions who, dur
ing the Ozark Ages" following
the 1929 debacle, found their
income shut off entirely or so
curtailed as to render outside
assistance imperative if they were
to subsist.
So it was for the purpose of
coming to the rescue of these un-
fortunates at once that the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admins
tration was organized. with Harry
L. Hopkins as it's chief.
Private Agencies Barred
The FERA's first rule is one
prohibiting "the turning over OF
Federal Emergency Relief funds
to a private agency" The un-
employed must apply to a public
agency for relief and this relief
must be furnished directly to the
applicant by a public agent. Mil
lions Of dollars have been pro-
vided State and municipal agen-
cies, not only for direct relief in
the form Of the necessities of
life, but also by what is known
as work relief" whereby public

A significant development in
the investment trust field during
the past year has been the
growth of the supervised fund
operating under a plan of ad-
ministration defined in its charter
and affording broad diversified
ton in the stocks of companies
which have survived the depres-
sion with a continuous dividend
record.
The accumulation of shares of
this type investment trust has
been substantial, particularly
among the larger investors, as a
hedge against the prospect of in
flation and the steps taken to de-
preciate the value of the dollar.
While the smaller investor has
not begun the purchase Of Sc
curities to any appreciable extent,
more concrete evidence of busi.
ness recovery and rising security
prices will undoubtedly bring him
into the market.
No Doubt OF Recovery
7 have no doubt that we are
on the road back to recovery, and
I am not perturbed by the dras-
tic changes which are being ef-
fected in our political and eco
nomic order. Social changes are
inevitable. The seriousness of the
threat to limit the profit of busi-
ness by governmental action and
the consequent reduction in the
return paid on invested capital
must be discounted by virtue Of
the fact that our present govern
ment Is largely dependent upon
business for it's own revenues.
Although criticism is being di-
rected at some of the methods be-
ing pursued in the efforts to re-
store prosperity, we must recog.
nize that the problem of gov.
ernment has always been that
of providing for its people. How
far back into history this need
has been a primary consideration
may be gathered by the inscrip-
ton on the tomb Of an ancient

finally eliminated as all such
abortive moves have in the past
with one grand smash.
After the list had been thor
oughly sold out, a brisk rebound
developed, which continued until
late August.

Later events disclosed that this
was the final important advance
Of the year for Curb Stocks
although there we're sporadic rail-
lying periods at intervals there
after. Whatever group strength
was shown in the closing months
of the year were centered largely
in the oils and metals, a number
of which actually exceeded their
previous 1888 tops.
Alcohol shares never regained
their earlier popularity, while the
utilities, harassed by threats of
rate reduction, municipal owner
ship and initiation, were inclined
to back and fill irregularly. with
a trend toward lower levels pre-
dominant.

General Bennett started an inves.

ment designed to delete from the
board stocks which failed to meet
the more stringest requirements
imposed as regards informations
etc., and at the same time re-
classify the entire stock list into
two groups, listed and unlisted.
Listed stocks are admitted to trad
ing on application Of the com.
pany, while unlisted are admitted
at the request of a member Of the
exchange.
Many Stocks Removed
For the first II months of 1888,
there were a total of 600 unlisted
and 43 listed stocks removed from
dealings. In this same interval 232
unlisted and two listed bonds were
removed. Latest figures given out
by the exchange state that there
are 1,160 unlisted and 356 listed
issues and 627 unlisted and 10
listed bonds entitled to trading
privileges.
Volume of turnover expanded
sharply. For the first 10 months
total volume in stocks approxi.
mated 10000, 900 shares as against
a total turnover Of 58,000,0O0
shares for 1892. Bond sales for
the 10 month period Of $810,O00S
900 contrasted with 1882 transae'
tions of $930,000,000.

Social Changes Good, Says
Investment Trust Head

Pharaoh, "Let it be said that dur
ing my reign no man went
hungry"
The pioneer spirit and initiative
which are the heritage of this
nation, together with it's compara-
tive youth in the family of ma
tionS, will drive it forward. We
cannot fail t. muddle through the
present period successfully, for a
nation as young as this one cannot
long be wrong.
Three Assuring Factors
The most impressive single item
today is that more than 100000
men have gone back to work. It
may be argued that the work is
only of temporary nature, but in
the final analysis all work is tenn
porary.
Three factors. in my opinion,
are working for an improvement
in stock prices: THE increasing
net earnings that companies will
show because of the economies in
production and distribution which
have been effected despite rising
costs under the National Recovery
Administration. 2-Confidence is
being restored. 3-With further
restoration of confidence and sta
bilization of our currency, Amer
ican funds abroad will be repatri-
ated and will compete not only
with the present funds available
for investment here, but with a
flow Of foreign money to this
country.

were accomplished by unemployed

More recently, but even more
dramatic in the almost miracu-
lous manner its organization-also
headed by Hopkins-has pro-
gressed, the Civil Works Admins
tration has come into being. De
vised to transfer as many persons
as possible from relief rolls to
gainful employment, it was crea-
ted only last November 8.
Work Well On Way
But already it is we'll on the
way toward accomplishing its
purpose of putting four million
men back to work. Workers have
beer literally poured into Federal,
State spd municipal projects,
financed Jointly by funds from
the PWA and FERA. Non-Fed-

required to bear part of the cost,

Michigan Farmers
TRY Frog Breeding

JACKSON. 1,lich., Jan. /.
U.N.S)-A number of Jackson
county citizens have taken to
raising bull frogs as result of
the depression. Established on a
bit of low marshy land near the

spring so they may determine
what their imported breeding
stock has accomplished.

cent was loaned the State at 4
per cent interest, the amount of
the loan to be amortized within
the reasonable life of the project
but under no circumstances longer
than 80 years.
Another great recovery unit
the AAA-is to agriculture what
the NRA is to industry. Number
ing about 3,725 employees, its pur-
pose is to rehabilitate those in
dustries producing, processing
and distributing food and agri-
cultural commodities.
Two Main Functions
Roughly, the AAA's function
may be separated into two divis-
ions-increasing of the farmers

malcy of those industries process

The magnitude of this program
can be grasped when it is con,

Foreign Trade Dips

of IS per cent as compared with
the corresponding period of last
year, according to a report from
Vice Consul G. H. Barringer.
Aggregate value of exports and
imports during the period Janu-
ary-September, 1888. amounted

Shortage In German

BERLIN, Jan. 1 G.N.SO.-Short
grape crops in Germany's wine
producing areas during the cur
rent year indicate a substantial
curtailment in that country's
1888 vintages, according to q. s..
Consul BARLEY F. Yost.
Reports from various districts
show, however, that while the
quantity of grapes harvested has
been lower than in previous years,
the quality of the grapes is ex-
cellent.
The Washington times., 1934-01-01

Thus, on the one hand, there has
been a spectacular advance in al
cohol shares and issues of those
companies in position to benefit
by the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment. Similarly, the inflationary
program adopted by the Admins
tration has led to siZeable appre-
citation in oils, metals and indus
trial issues.
On the other side of the pic
ture has been the negative per.
formance of utilities, which would
be adversely affected by fixed
rates for their services and rising
costs incurred by the various steps
in the recovery program put forth
by Washington. Fixed income OBJ
legations also lost ground due to
switching by investors into equities
most likely to participate in an
inflationary upturn.
Began on Uptrend
The market began the year in a
temporary uptrend, which was
checked after little more than a
week Of rising prices. Thereafter,
slow decline set in, accelerated
by the prevalence of Statewide
banking holidays and steadily fall
ing commodity prices. Uncertainty
over the policies of the incoming
Administration also exerted an u1-
settling effect upon the market.
Following Inauguration Day.
however, events with a far-reach-
ing effect upon prices took place.
President Roosevelt opened his
regime with the declaration
of a nationwide banking holiday,
which forced the security and
commodity exchanges to shut
down.
However, following the 11-day
enforced holiday, the market in
augurated q sweeping advance,
which carried through without
temporary Interruptions until mid
July. During this interval, the
general average of prices more
than doubled in value, while the
price appreciation OF lnnumerable
cheap stocks could be described
only as sensational.
Contributing Factors
Contributing factors to the
March-July upswing were the
abandonment of the gold stand
ard in mid-April, and the pass
ing of the initiation amendment
to the Federal farm bill, giving
the President powers to lower the
gold content of the dollar and
issue new currency if he deemed
necessary.
In July, however, there were
increasing indications that the
persistent advance was attracting
an unwieldy public following. with
