White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, Oct.
3l.-(PHDrastic simpltcification Of
corporate reporting requirements un-
der the federal securities legislation,

Grafton. This program Of the COM
mission has been widely praised by
bankers attending the Investment
Bankers Association convention, which
ends here Wednesday, Is likely to
prove an important factor In reviving
corporation financing.
The convention ended with the
bankers publicly holding out the
olive branch toward the new deal,
but with some privately insisting that
reinsurance regarding monetary and
fiscal policies Is needed for real re-
v1val Of their business.
Federal securities legislation, con-
demned as unavoidable q year ago,
was described as workable although
cumbersome and the security dealers
were urged by their own leaders to
resume their functions Of providing
long term capital for industry.
The associations public service Sc
curities committee even recommend
ed that the vehement protests Of the
past against government ownership
Of electric power properties be dis
continued, and the controversy set
tied by actual test Of relative eff
cheney between public and private
properties.

est by Treasury experts today be.
cause of it's relationship to the
operation of the 1000 million dol
lar stabilization fund.
The Administration has no de-
sire to see the dollar soar. The
effect of the return of capital to
the United States has been to
make the dollar scarcer abroad
and thus to cause an increase IN
its quotation.
Operations Kept Secret
While the operations Of the
stabilization fund were guarded
with the greatest secrecy, it was
believed the Treasury was buying
gold in London and Paris to off
set the inward movement of cap
ital. BY the purchase of gold, dol
lars would be more plentiful in
the London and Paris market,
thus cheapening the price.
Treasury officials said it has not
been ascertained so far just what
is the volume of capital coming
into the country. The amount,
however, was substantial, running
into many millions of dollars.
Stimulated by Decree
Sterilization of the dollar at
59.06 per cent has stimulated this
capital movement.
For the first time the new value
of gold was recorded on the Treas
ury's daily statement for February
/ made public today. The gold as
sets of the Government were boost
ed from about $4,039, 100000 to
around $4,000, ZOO, 900 as a result
of the dollar revaluation.
Out of the profits of the revalua-
ton program the stabilization
fund was set up.
