New Investment Code Seen.
Solution of the over-the-counter
problems of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission appears definitely
to lie through the medium of the In
vestment Bankers Association of
America and registration or licensing
of dealers, says today's Wall Street
journal.
While considerable details would
have to be worked out before that as
sociation would be in position ade-
quately to regulate the over-the-
counter situation, it already has a
code of fair practice, which offers the
best possibilities through which the
commission can hope for regulation.
The plan. in respect to the I. B. A.
would be to have new code, modelled
after the present one, and meeting
with the approval of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, placed into
effect either when the present code
expires, the middle of this year, or be-
fore its expiration.
