speculative excesses, was advanced by
corporations either from earnings or
from the sale of securities.
The money was attracted by high
interest rates, running from to Is
per cent.
This process has been described by
economists as vicious circle of credit
imitation, by which corporations lent
money to the investing public to buy
securities. the proceeds of which were
used to lend still more money.
Harriss testified before the Senate
committee yesterday that $1,000, 900
had been expended for publicity be-

economist of the exchange. He said
that IN his opinion the volume repre-
sented the views Of exchange officials
and members.
Agrees on Constitution.
Harriss. one of the youngest men,
bers OF the Exchange, gave crisp an
Swers to Pecora's questions on the ma
ture Of the activities of his commit
tee, agreeing with the attorney that
the constitution Of the Exchange stip-
ulated that they were ito keep the
public correctly informed concerning
matters of public interest having to do
with the Exchange.
HarriS testified the activities OF the
committee consisted principally in
the distribution from time to time
of pamphlets and literature on the
exchange of usual mailing list, pri-
marily educational institutions" In
two years. he said, 2,5l0,000 copies of
1S such pamphlets were sent out.
$500 Copies Purchased.
Pecora brought up the subject Of
Meeker's book. Harriss said it was
written on Meeker's own initiative,
and that the exchange purchased
1,500 copies which were sent to ex-
change officers. libraries, college facul-
ties land 500 to public officials"
What public oficials?" Pecora
asked
"A large number were members of
Congress"
This was done on the initiative
of the Stock Exchange?"
Il believe So"
This was done at a time when
short selling was the subject of much
public controversy"
The general subject was the sub
ject of considerable agitation in the
press"
Was it because of that that the
Stock Exchange had Mr.. Meeker
write this pook?"
Mr. Meeker wrote this book on
his own time"
The sentiments of the book were
approved by the Stock Exchange?"
The exchange naturally thought
1t was fine article on short selling
and set it forth clearly and ade-
quately."

LEOPOLD RECEIVES
NATIONAL ACCLAIM
New Belgian Ruler Makes
Favorable Impression at
Inaugural Ceremony.

Copyright 1894. by the Associated Press1
BRUSSELS, February 24.-Leopold
III and Queen Astrid faced together
today the historic responsibility of all
Belgian monarchs-the task OF keep
ing two nationalities under one flag.
Their first important duty as the
new rulers Of the compact little
country is to make an appearance in
every town and village in Belgium.
This nationwide tour may require
several months, but three times be-
fore in the 100 years of Belgian in
dependence, it has been required OF
the new sovereigns. They alone
symbolic the unity Of the Flemings
and the Walloons.
Confirms Cabinet.
The new King turned quickly to
affairs OF state today.
He confirmed the tenure of the
present cabinet; then, as his first Of
fetal act, signed a bill extending
cAAAANSbJ " a 4dA &c AlOIIlDCI VI
convictS in certain categories.
An official paper instructed the
courts and executive authorities to
issue all sentences and DEGREES in the
name of King Leopold, III.
Privacy Interrupted.
The comparative privacy Leopold
and Queen Astrid, former Princess of
Sweden, have known during the few
years of their married life, was over
forever today as result of their
enthronement.
Now they will take up residence in
the royal castle at suburban Laeken,
quitting their cosier chateau nearby.
Their simple and direct way OF
meeting people in yesterdays inaug-
ural celebration already has won them
the devotion of their subjects.
Also political groups of all hues are
talking enthusiastically today of the
surprising revelation in the enthrone-
ment ceremonies that young Leopold
speaks Flemish as perfectly as he does
French-the Walloon tongue. He
was required to use both languages
in taking the oath.
Seen as Aid.
This fact may aid Leopold. Flem-
ish Separatists, although they now
hold only seven seats in Parliament,
were reported to have encouraged two
Communist Deputies who created a
disturbance in Parliament Thursday.
The same Communists shouted de-
,-ie he nhaartr1
pold at his enforcement yesterday,
but were heard only by those near
est them
Separatist elements, some of them
proclaiming allegiance to Chancellor
Hitler of Germany, were said to have
objected to the Kings speech on the
ground it failed to meet the demands
of the Flemish people. Most of these
demands were satisfied during Albert's
reign and the old feud between the
Flemish Catholic faction and the
French Walloons has ceased to be a
serious problem.
Many Catholic Members.
Catholic Loyalsts now comprise
two-flfths Of Parliament.
The royal couple was blessed this
morning at a TIE Deum mass in the
ST. Gudule Cathedral. where funeral
services were held Thursday for Al
bert.
The coronation Of King Leopold
and Queen Astrid is expected to be
held in six months, at the end Of the
period Of court mourning for the late
monarch.

Failed in Minor Fight.

The only real show Of fight they
made was in trying to restore 2-cent
postage. They selected that side issue
because it was the only one on which
they could muster any respectable
number of votes. But even on that
they could not muster enough.
AS matter of fact there was not
much else for them to do. They could
not resist the whole bill. because most
Of the Republicans on the subcommit-
tee which wrote it were ardent sup
porters of the measure.
They might have tried to center
their opposition against the commu-
nifty property provision. but they would
have received fewer votes for that
than they did for 2-cent postage
They knew there was no use to offer
the sales tax. They wanted to fight
for a sharp reduction. That is al
ways popular. But they could not do
that and maintain their position tor
a balanced budget.
Sc they sat down and took it.

BASE FOR LOCAL
A|RMA|[ SHIFTED
Operations Moved to Boiling
Field to Facilitate Plane
ServiCing.

Local Army airmail operations to-
day were transferred from Washing
ton Airport to Boiling Field. The
change, which became effective a.
noon, was ordered as an efficiency
measure.
For the past week, while the Air
Corps operated mail service from
Washington Airport, the seryicing and
inspection Of planes took place az
Boiling Field and it was necessary
to fly the mail planes back and forth
between flights.
This entailed a double ground force
and added greatly to the difficulty
Of maintenance and control, it was
explained. Army facilities at Boiling
also are more centrally located and
Will make possible faster operations
with less burden on the personnel.
Data Unhandy.
At Washington Airport, the Army
airmail headquarters have been set
up in the old brick administration
building on the former Hoover Field
area, nearly a half mile from the
Weather Bureau observatory, Depart
ment of Commerce teletype station
and the Federal raio control station
This distance had to be Travelled
many times day on foot, with loss
of time in obtaining information and
maintaining communications.
Army regulations prohibiting mill
tary pilots from taxing across Mill
tary road and from using the con-
crete aprons at Washington Airport
also added to the dinculties of oper-
alton at Washington Airport.

They have selected good moment.
The emergency phase of governmental
reform is rapidly passing. The ne
cessity for nonpartisan cooperation
soon will be over.
The administration really needs an
intelligent opposition to keep it on
the right track.
The House Republican leaders will
get no efficiency medals for the resist
ance they conducted against the tax
bill.
After denouncing 1t for days they
all voted for it.

johnson Bitten by Fox.

Gen. johnson was bitten by a fox
before he curtailed the scope of the
Nye resolution to list N r. A. work
ers in Washington. The fox was a
certain Democratic Senator. 1t hap
pened this way.
Senator Nye wanted to know the
business connections of all N. r. A.
employees. His purpose was obvious
He wanted to show that the indus
trialists controlled the key positions
in the N. r. A.. and were using the
codes for their own private business
purposes.
Johnson Is a frank man. He did
not want to conceal anything. He
got up the whole list of N. R. A. en-
ployes and was about to give it to
Nye, when Nye introduced a formal
resolution in the Senate calling for
the data.
A certain Democratic Senator tele-
phoned Johnson and suggested he
ought not to give such anti-N. r. A.
ammunition to its critics. The SEN
ator and Johnson agreed to sidetrack
the resolution into Senator Pat Harri-
sons Finance Committee for scrutiny.
Scope of Inquiry Cut.
1t was then fixed up inside 50 that
Johnson would go before the commit
tee and suggest it would be lot Of
trouble to get the N. r. A. employe
records from all over the country"
He induced the committee to limit
the issue to N. r. A. employees here
in town. That sounded logical and
the committee fell for it. So did
the Senate.
The trick about it is that the N
r. A. employees who are supposed to
come from blackest big business are
on the code authorities. They are
the real manipulators in N. r. A.
now. because they interpret the codes.
But the code authorities do not sit
in Washington, and hence do not
logically come under the Nye res
olution.
Mrs. Roosevelts name was men,
toned only once in the Senate debate
on her Reedsville, w. Va, project and
that was when Senator Nicely of West
Virginia mentioned the fact the First
Lady favored the idea. He neglected
to point out she initiated it, but all
his hearers knew it. Anyway. Senate
Democrats succeeded in restoring au-
thorization for her project, which had
been eliminated by the House.
