ever, we heard whiSperings of dis
satisfaction with the Summer play
houses as fields for the Broadway
tryout. Authors, managers and others
think the vacation audience may run
a too high or 100 low temperature
over something which will have quite
different effects on the steely patrons
of Broadway, and they are not uni
versally pleased with production con-
ditions. AS for the revivals, we
thought they were delighting those
who like to null over old theatrical
wines, but again We are told the con-
noisseurs miss the "tightness" and
perfection given popular plays in their
original Broadway production.
Knowing little about the matter, 1t
is not our place to scoff at such
pessimism in the midst cf Sem
ingly thriving vernal season, or to
accept the prophets of doom and
certify them for you. They do say
that henceforth barns and old stables
will get less professional following and
support. nevertheless, and we pass
the idea on to you for what 1t is
worth n. Is. r, Jr.

STOCK BODY STAFF.
GAMBLING BANNED.
Commission Acts to Prevent
Use of Information by
Prospective Employees.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speculative transactions by en-
ployes of the new Securities and Ex-
change Commission are banned.
This was made known at a press
conference today by Joseph P. Ken
nedy, the chairman. He said the
commission had so voted.
Kennedy said the commission
wished to make clear to prospective
employees that information which
might come into their hands while
working for the commission would be
Of no use to them.
He added the commission was pro-
ceding slowly IN discussing organiza-
ton work and that no important de-
cisions had been reached. Asked II
there was any intention of cracking
down" on the stock markets as soon
as the law permits. Kennedy said no
body has the last word, and, therefore,
We shall probably move carefully SO
that we do not stop anything legiti-
mate"
The ruling of the commission
reads:
1.-THE commission voted that no en-
ploye Of the commission shall partici-
pate directly or indirectly in any
transaction concerning a security
subject to the jurisdiction of the COM
mission, except that such prohibition
shall not be construed to prevent the
sale or purchase of a security for
bona f1de investment purposes.
ITO the end that this regulation
shall be properly observed, it is or
dered that O no employe shall carry
any securities on margin, and (2)
every employe shall report every
transaction in any security, whether
exempted or otherwise, to the COM
mission within 48 hours after the
making of such transaction, exclu-
sive of Sundays and holidays.
Violation of this regulation shall
be regarded as instant cause for dis
misssal."
Kennedy was not certain what at
titude the commission would take on
actual installment purchases. The
purpose of the ruling, he said, was
to be sure that employees could make
no use of special information COM
ing to them.

j. S. FIRMS FEAR
0USTERBYFRANCE
Parliament Fails to Act
on Lifting of Double
Taxation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 6.-Many American
firms in France feared today they
would be forced to quit the country
because of Premier Doumergue's
failure to get Parliament to ratify
long pending treaty with the United
States lifting double taxation.
Some firms were said by a spokes-
man for American interests to be al
ready considering leaving the country
in order to avoid collection of $780,
900 900 in excess taxes which have
been suspended by the French for
several years.
French-American trade relations
also may be seriously complicated
through an avowed intention Of the
Chamber of Deputies Committee
handling the matter to hold up treaty
ratification for trading on the war
debts matter, or to get more favorable
treatment in a commercial treaty.
The anti-double taxation treaty
under which France agreed to abol-
lsh its tax on the dividends of Amer
ican parent corporations having
branches in France, was signed in
April, 1882, but never was ratified by
the French Parliament.
Its consideration in Parliament was
shelved by a committee yesterday
when it became entangled with war
debt issues, with prospects that it
will be put over at least until Fall.
American interests we're represented
as feeling that if the French tried to
collect double taxes, the United States
might enforce a law empowering it to
retaliate with an 30 per cent extra
taxation upon French persons and
French firms in America.

SURPLUS
FIRST IN Is YEARS
S5,850,000 Remains From
Operations, Excluding
Subsidies.

The Post Office Department came
out of the red in the fiscal year just
ended for the first time in is years.
For one of the few times in its
history, the department closed its
books on June 80 with a surplus for
purely postal operations that will
approximate $3.50 900, it was said to-
day by William L. Slattery, the con-
troller. This surplus, of course, ex-
cluded the items of air and ocean
subsidies and franked mail, which are
charged against the department and
run around $60,000,000, but these
same charges we're also excluded in
figuring the net deficit Of previous
years.
The showing exceeded expectations
Of postal officials, according to Slat-
terry, who said that it rested on reve-
nues for April and May, which show
a strong upward trend Reports for
June now are coming into the depart
ment. Interestingly enough, one i'm
portant factor in the increase, ac-
cording to Mr.. Slattery, was the sale
of Mothers day stamps, which were
very heavy.
Slattery's estimate OF the surplus
was l per cent of the gross revenue,
calculated at $685., ,000, 900 for the past
year. Savings which aided in building
it up were made in personnel and
contractural services. With the vari-
GUS economies resorted to, Slattery
figured that the pay roll for the year
was on an "a per cent basis. As has
been the case for several years, va
cancies usually were not filled and
there was q general scaling down of
costs for the various services for
which the department enters into
contract, including an $4,000, 900 slash
in airmail, Slattery pointed out.
On the other hand, the department
since July year ago has operated
under 2-cent rate for local mail,
which reduced revenues some SIS
10000 or $4,000, 900 annually, and
1t also absorbed the increased cost Of
the per cent pay restoration after
February 1, thereby affecting the sur
plus to that extent.
Despite the showing this past year,
however. departmental officials are
making no claims for the future, for
two principal reasons. First is the
pay roll. which now is on 95 per
cent basis, and, secondly, the Scent
rate for flrst-class mail will be effec.
tive only until next June unless there
is additional legislation. Postal Off
cials believe this rate must be retained
despite the opposition expressed in
Congress. The surplus now appearing
is the first since 1919.
