Wall Street Retrenches.
(Kansas City Star0

Wall Street it is said, at last has become con- vinced that another stock market boom on the scale of the late 1920s is unlikely in the predlctabe future and has begun reluctantly to scrap some Of it's speculative machinery Several important brokerage firms have consolidated recently; many branch offices have been closed and the personnel of others has been reduced. The speculative hope apparently dies hard in this country. We are by nature a sangune people. In many respects that quality has been and continues to be, national asset, but it also be peril, when it prevents us from learning by experience the dangers of widespread and largely unintellgent speculation.
 The stock market boom that collapsed in 1929 undoubtedly contributed to our present economic distress. It withdrew money from the Middle West and other parts of the country that was needed to finance ordinary business operations, and recent investigation has shown that scarcely any of the funds that were poured into the New York market actually used to support new industrial activity The opportunities for quick profits brought great crowd of unnformed investors into the market and stimulated mushroom growth of security promoters who however honest they may have been were totally without the experience required for sound iudgmnt The result was a national catastrophe Yet by 1883 obvious lessons of that catastrophe already had been far forgotten that small business improvement promptly exaggerated on the stock market
 The Federal Government has taken two important steps to curb repetition of the speculative mania by tightening it's supervision both of individual securities and of the exchanges where they are handled. But there is point beyond which the public cannot be protected against itself certain degree of self-discipine within nation is in- dispensabe for the safe operation of our present indivdualistic system If the remodeing of the speculative machinery reflects the expectation of more cautious and informed attitude on the part of the investing public in the future, rather than simply a lack of opportunity for another buying spree, it is a good omen.

STILL AT IT TWENTY YEARS AFTER

Twenty years ago today The Empire was report ing Juneaus efforts in the Belgium relief campaign, Q result of the Great War, which eventually became the War to End War
 In today's Empire Associated Press reports advise that "an atmosphere of warlke excitement prevailed in Europe, at the beginning of the new week An alarming rumor was that Yugoslavia cancelled all military leave at garrisons Austria and Hungary. The Balkans, where the spark was struck that subsequently, nflamed the world into burning hate and war twenty years ago, are apparently boiling again.
 Most of the present worldwide economic ills are hangover headaches from the which was sup posed to end war If civilization is to maintain warfare must not break out again. The revealing and searching light of publicity in the last few years has spot-lghted the sordid, commercial, vic ious selfish forces that contribute to the starting and continuing of
 People throughout the world should remember that these same selfish motives constantly at work frequently under the guise of patriotism or nationalsm
 Arming for defense under present conditions is essential However, regardless of the success or failure of armament limitation meetings, interna- tional agreements of alies" and other manueverings of the diplomats, the memory of the last frightful World War is too poignant in the minds of millions throughout the world to permit another armed clash of world wide proportions

is in similar predicameht The loans must be sound in this instance, in g-the other. and the RFC is expected also to work in close cooperation with the commercial banks and to encourage prvate borrowing rather than borrowing from itself
 Yet there has been only limited progress in the whole, combined endeavor Commercial loans ot banks have expanded slowly, the Reserve Banks ana the REC together have authorized direct loans of only AT million, and the money actually disourseo is but fraction of that: only little more than 6z million of the 28 million authorized by the reserve institutions.
 So what to do? Evidently there is lack of credit. The trouble cannot be that. Commercial banks profess their eagerness make loans, which is their principal business and source of profit But where find sound loans9 They say they would like to have them and the experience, of the other agencies indicates that getting them is no easy matter. ,s4e
 The difficulty of course, is not q lack of credit but lack of confidence How to plan ahead,-how to make money, or how to use profitaby the funds that may be borrowed is the real root of the prob lem Not being assured in that matter, the great bulk of potential and responsible borrowers are holding back while the commercial and Reserve Banks and the REC literally are standing with mil
 lions held out in their hands for use in safe loans liberal terms
 There is no need of special inducements in times of confidence After all it is not the volume of credit, but the rate of it's turnover repeated use that counts. From 1923 to 1925, study shows. the rate of turnover ranged from twenty-six to thirty-two year. In the next four years, ending with 1929, it jumped to fcrty-five. But as the de- pression began it fell to twentysix by the close of 1880 By the end of 1882 it had sunk to the level of sixteen, little more than one-third of 1929. In the brief spell of speculation in the summer of last year it rose to twenty-two, but sank again to eighten by the close of the year.
 When therefore established businesses, above all the heavy durable goods industries, see the way clear to future planning and commitments, they will be in the market for oans-and the loans will be made under safer regulations than before exist ed. To establish that necessary confidence, not to establish credresources, is the actual problem
 Perhaps the sweeping indorsement' of President Roosevelt in the election with his increased prestige may help to clarify the situation, and enable him to build up a cooperative spirit with business that will hasten the delayed forward movement.

Credit, But Few Loans. Why?
(Kansas City star.)

The credit situation of the country just now al lords an interesting study In the present AdInh- istration and in the latter years of the previous Administration as well, definite policy to com bat the forces of depression and start the wheels of industry to turning at normal rate once more was to pump credit into business to provide 1t With the money needed for expansion and for current operation
 The latest effort in that direction was the Con- ressonal grant of authority to the Federal Reserve Banks and to the REC to supplement the work Of the commercial banks by making direct loans to industry, and to individuals The private banks, Of course, had and still have abundant funds for lend ing. Yet it was believed that all the agencies by working together. could surely loosen up credit and start things to moving again.
 Now it is reported from Washington that Fed eral Reserve Banks in quandary" in the matter of the direct loans. There is the authority to make them to the extent of 28O million dollars a sound and reasonable basis" Yet the Reserve Banks are in the position of being called upon to make loans that the commercial banks either have rejected do not want, and the two are expected 10 work together and not in competition
 The REC, authorized to make the direct loans to individuals and industry up to 300 million dollars,
