l. Short Selling. For the first time a mass of data about short selling, hitherto unknown, was brought to light, There were bear raiders in the market in 1931z but it. was fairly clearly shown that they were not respon- sible for the irresistible declines. This was the result of the disinte- grating business situation.
 2. POOLS. Exchange officials have always officially pretended to be unaware of the existence of pools. This hypocritical mask was completely taken from these pious countenances. One of the Radio pools,- managed by Mike Meehan, an exchange broker and specialist in Radio, was completely exposed. Not only that, but the participa- tion of many leading bankers and distinguished corporation execu- tives in this pool was described.
 Numerous other pools, in Indian Celotex, Borg Warner, Warner Bros, U. S. Finishing, American Commercial Alcohol, National Dis- tillers and many other issues were completely studied and revealed for the edification of the public and the enlightment of the stu- dent. It was shown conclusively that these pools were participated in by brokers and specialists on the Exchange who were supposed to protect their clients.
 3. INVESTMENT BANKERS. For years it has been urged tEat investment banking and com mercial banking should be separ- ated. This investigation showed how the firm of Morgan, among others, maintained what was called their preferred list. This was a list of leading bankers, cor poration executives and many prominent statesmen who were given the opportunity to get in on the ground floor when they were ready to distribute a new issue of stocks.
 This was part of the evidence showing the control exercised by bankers over indus trial corporations, investment companies and banks.
 4. BANKS. The committee in- vestigated the National City and the Chase National Banks of New York, the Detroit Bankers Corpor- ation and the Guardian Detroit

 That's just sketchy idea of the thrills. and suspense that awaits you when you see Jack Holt's lat est starring Columbia production, Black Moon, now on the bill at the Garden theater.
 It's full of thrills, but don't get the idea that 1t is a cheap thriller. It's one of the best entertainment pictures presented in long time. Lavishly produced, expertly direct ed, perfectly cast, and adapted from one of last years novelettes, Black Moon" is a picture that spells grand entertainment. !

the bank affiliate, such as the aiiii- Iiat9s of the National City and the Chase. These affiliates served the same purpose as putting property in your wife's name. It was oohe to evade the laws passed to pro feet deposirors. t3l The danger of permitting bankers to speculate and use the funds of their banks. Albert Wiggin, chairman of the Chase, was shown to have main- tained secret personal corpora tions, to which he loaned the banks money in order to permit them to, speculate In the stock market in the banks stocks with the banks funds.
 <. s. INVESTMENT TRUSTS. The Dillon. Read trusts and the lnsull trusts were studied. In the first the shameful effects of permitting investment bankers, who are sell- CTS of securities. to get possession of investment trusts which are buyers. was glaringly shown.
 6. SPECULATION. The whole subject of speculation was submit ted to the most searching stuay that, has ever been made of the subject. While dramatic hearings were in progress, q corps Of inves- tigators, accountants, lawyers ana economists made an elaborate study of all the stock exchanges of the country. Students interest ed in this subject should try to se- cure Volumes 13 to 17 of the re- ports where these extensive stud les are printed.
 The most interesting points de- veloped were CD complete studies of several pools, following them from beginning to end, through scores of brokerage offices, their daily tradings, methods of ac- cumulation and boosting prices and unloading. CD Facts about the functions of brokers. Pecora showed, for instance, that prac- tically all the stock gambling IS done by not more than b00,000 people and not "the whole popu- iation" as the exchange contended and that most of it is done by brokers themselves for their own account. (3) That the exchange was under the dominion Of its gambling element. (4) That made no real effort to protect the public and that listing meant al- most nothing.

ALASKA ELECTION

Tuesday, September II, is a day to circle with a big red line. That day the people of Alaska will elect delegate to congress, a Territor- ial treasurer and Territorial sena- tors and representatives.
 Not quite a month remains be- fore election day. It is time the people heard something on the views of the various candidates.
 Men expecting to ask for support ,of the electors should make known what they intend to do for the Ter ritory if elected.
 It is not enough to say "Oh, we'll, he is a good fellow or he is an honest fellow" and let it go at that
 The people are entitled to know how the candidates stand on issues vital to the Territory. Are they constructive, have they any plans to promote the general welfare of Alaska; have they really any pro gressive program; have they taken enough trouble to map out some thing beneficial to the development of mining; and to prospectors; es- tablishment of a government min ing service; for assay offices, geo. logical services and the like; how about legislation for betterment of the fisherman, the trapper, the de- velopment of Alaskas farm lands and timberlands; what about set clement and education; and the liquor tuation-something which is sure to come before the legisla- ture. What ideas have they as to taxes and improvement of the bud get; of encouragement of the tour ist industry; improvement of avia- tion; building of airports and land ing fields; what are their views on defense of Alaska and establish ment of air bases.
 These and other questions offer ample opportunity for the candidate who is sincere and thinks to let the people know what he intends to do about these matters if he is elected. And if he is not intelligent and nimble minded and public spirited enough to think of these things and willing to give his time to them he is not the man the people want.
 Public office is not intended to be a private snap or place to af- ford a good time to the encumbent It is a place requiring the best that is in the best men available. Let
