The Investment Bankers Code.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Last December the Investment Bankers Code was approved by the President including unexcep tonal provisions concerning conditions of labor and wages, creation of a code authority and the like. It was just another code and, being in a field in which labor questions not particularly i'm portant, 1t had no immediate importance. At the same time plans were made for the drafting of set of rules of fair practices by representatives of the industry These fair practices, which ultimately to become part of the code, far important than the remainder of the code.
 While the fair practices are not yet approved they look very promising. They built around the idea that the business of underwriting and distributing securities must be made safe from misrepresentation. The fair practices designed not to supplant to conflict with the Federal Securities Act, but to extend the purpose of the act and make it flexible, both in its applica- tion and in it's enforcement. The fair practices represent an effort the part of investment bank CTS themselves to shoulder the burden of enforcing ethics in their business. If successful this approach should be much more satisfactory than the regua- tion of the business by the Federal Trade Com mission under the Securities Act.
 An interesting feature of the trade practices now under consideration by investment bankers is the intention of making them permanently valid through an organization in addition and quite independent of the Code Authority. Thus, if the MIRA proves temporary device the investment bankers will be able to continue, independently of Government en- forcing within their own body the trade practices agreed upon as fair and sound. The permanence of the Securities Act, in contrast to the emergency character of the National Recovery Act, suggests that the investment bankers have been wise to plan for permanent regime of strictly enforced fair practices.

 First, let me say few words in memory of our old friends the "Arctic Explorers Of the Past who struggled so valiantly against fearful obstacles, of nature, and who worked with the best means science had then produced, endeav oring to reach the Pole, or to ga- ther scientific knowledge in the Arctic. They performed their work well, but were unable to achieve, in their day, the marvels that you have accomplished in such surprisingly short time, with the aid of the airplane and modern equipment.
 Since your memorable flight from Spitzbergen to the North Pole, much airplane. activity has been evidenced in the Arctic. and we of the North have become air minded. We have been visited by Colonel Lindberg and his charm ling wife, and Wiley Post has twice passed over our country on his Iiaunts around the world.
