Wall Street Bites.

o. Henry's assumption that New
York is the biggest hick town in the
world was fully justified by the way
Wall Street bit on the Angas pam
phlet.
Competent authorities cont e n d
that this little book, written by an
English economist, had more to do
with the recent stock market rise
than anything else. The title of it
is THE Coming American Boom, "
and its thesis is that there is so much
money piled up in banks now that,
at the first sign of restored conf
dence, speculation will run rife.
The Wall Streeters read it, de-
cided the boom tUGS here, and shot
prices up. A fe1D days later they
began to discouer minor passages
in the pamphlet suggesting lack
of fundamental knowledge regard
ing the American financial system.
But the funniest part is that the
main thesis is old. 1t was first point
ed out publicly by our own Federal
Reserve Board in monthly bulletin
issued six months ago. Wall Street
never noticed 1t then.
All of which certainly shows that

The inside story is that Stuart
Chase, the well-known financial au-
thority, was going to make speech
in Eccles' home town out West and
Eccles came out to hear him. Chase
was late, so the presiding officer
called on Eccles, the local banker, to

II believe in free speech and
q free press, but Communism,
which is a menace to this
government, should not be per-
mitted to hide behind the cloak
of free speech, because they
do not advocate change of laws
by constitutional methods but
by force"
The Nazi propaganda CON-

investigate all forms of subversive
propaganda. He urged that the
House extend the life of the

more deeply into communistic
propaganda. Representative Dick.

"The Communists have nine
