DROPPED
FROM BAR
GROUPS

Personnel Of the new District
Supreme Court Committee or
Grievances and Admissions, sup
planting two committees that
formerly divided the duties Of bal
admissions and disbarmentS, was
announced by the General Term
Of the court today.
The designation of the new
committee is pursuant to a Gen
eral Term Order of April 8, 1885
which had been sought by pro
gressive members Of the District
Bar Association for over a year.
Nine Are Named.
John Paul Earnest, Col. Walter
C, Clephane and John E. Laskey
are to serve for three-year terms;
Bolitha J. Laws, Vernon E. West
and Charles F. Wilson for two
year terms, and Edward Stafford
Edmund L. Jones and Andrew B
Duvall for one-year terms. The
appointment order is effective
october IS.
Under the former system OF
admissions and disbarments, an
admissions committee appointed
by the court conducted required
bar examinations and fees paid
by candidates for admission were
divided among the committee
members as compensation fol-
their services.
DiSbarments, however, came un.
der the jurisdiction Of a griev.
ance committee, also appointed
by the court. but the expenses
were paid out of the treasury Of
the Bar Association.
-Four members Of the two for
mer COMMITTEES are dropped in
the new set-up. These include
Col. Henry P. Blair, who was a
member Of the old grievance com.
mittee, and DR.. Hayden Johnson
Charles v. INLAY and William E
Leahy. who were members Of the
committee on grievances.
The late Lucian H. Vandoren
was a member Of the grievance
committee and the vacancy
caused by his death was not
filled since his death occurred
after the present court order had
passed.

Now the same men as desperately
defend the Federal Reserve Act
and insist that changing it will
ruin us. We were told last year
that the Stock Exchange Act
would crush cur American finan-
cial system. Now most Wall Street
leaders admit the Act has been a
good thing for Wall Street.
What has happened can be ex-
planned much more intelligently in
terms of the economic forces rath-
er than events. Obviously what Is
needed now is the creation of new
or fresh supplies of purchasing
power. The purchasing power be-
ing created is also bei6g pretty
well used up. People have been
spending their incomes. That is
plain from the failure of savings
or new investment to increase ma
terially.

ployment also produces and dis
tributes purchasing power -

curities, etc. Only $15.491,273 is
for the investment in new capital
goods.
The issues are important for
one thing, however. They make
it definitely plain that the Securi-
ties Act of 1888 which was sup
posed to be such barrier to any
new financing, is not a real OBJ
stacle.
The events Of the past six
months just closed, SO far as BUSH
ness is concerned, are quickly
summarized. First there was the
scare growing out Of the narrow
margin by which the Patnan
bonus greenback bill was defeated.
Then came the bill to give the
government control over the mon
etary functions of the Federal Re-
serve System. Carter Glass has
taken the lead in fighting this
Bankers at first opposed 1t more
or less timidly. But a tremendous
drive has been worked up against
it. 1t remains still in the Senate
Committee, though the House has
passed 1t.
Next came the Utilities Holding
Company bill--a measure which Is
alleged to be designed to end all
holding companies in the utility
field. This is not true. This bill
has been passed by the Senate and
is in the House subject to another
violent drive by the utilities to de-
! feat It.
The next most important event
| was the voiding of the MIRA by
the Supreme Court decree. This
created a great stir. MIRA sup
! porters promised us that the ma
ton was about a plunge into
chaos. AS a matter of fact, MOTH
ing of the sort has, happened. In
stead business has actually i'm
proved since the NRA was extin-
guished.
And now Congress approaches
its dissolution. And beyond that
lies the campaign. For as Con-
gress ends its labors, we. will, after
a brief interval, plunge into the
first stages of the presidential
campaign Of 1895.

Three Producers
OF Purchasing Power

movements in the last two and q
half years to the influence of these
three forces-all save one, the in
fationary bubble of April-July
1888, which was unique. Business
began to pick up definitely under
the New Deal when government:
spending began in October, 1888.
This has been the single most
powerful factor since that time.
Why did business decline from
the end of January of this year to
the end of May (when it began to
improve little) although all that
time it should have been getting
better under seasonal influences?
The explanation is that business
is now not wholly at the mercy of
seasonal influences. Government
spending and policies have inter-
vened and these collaborate with
the seasons in moulding; the char
acter of business. Therefore we
need not be surprised IL we find
business not following precisely
the usual seasonal path.
A rough estimate of government
spending in the first half of this
year will reveal that 1t was far
less this year than last. How
much less is not easy to say. Gov
ernment emergency OUTLAWS In the
first half of 1884 were about $2,-.

this year they were s1.663,474.-

favor of last year. This Is subject

the amounts of both these periods
ought to be deducted the sums
attributed to the Reconstruction

Why No Recovery
In Building Industry?

The falling off in foreign trade
and the sldggishness of the build
ing industry furnish the other fac
tors which explain the weakening
Of business in the last six months.
But why does the building indus
try fail to respond? We hear
much of shortages developing.
The trouble is that the shortages
have not yet developed sufficiently
in those areas of the building in
dustry which are capable of re-
vival. There are still too many
commercial offices, too many ho-
tells, too many apartments par
ticularly high-class apartments.
Not only are there too many. but
an immense section of the con-
struction industry is still loaded
with the debts which wrecked 1t
in 1929. 1t is simply not solvent.
A more important factor now is
the complete decentralization of
values in the real estate world. No
one can say now what real estate
is worth. A still further and i'm
portant factor is the high cost of
building. Labor still attempts to

ed in the twenties and building
material men were among the first
to take advantage of the MIRA
sdt-up to jack up material prices
on falling market.
There, is one other factor which
must account for the slowness in
the capital goods industry. AS al
ready pointed out, capital goods
are, for the most part, bought with
borrowed funds. One Of the ele-
ments therefore in any revival of
capital goods is a revival of the
long term credit market. I have
decried the criticism that the vari-
GUS measures In Congress have
been the cause of business weak
ening. However, / think that at
least one thing in government poll
icy may have some connection
with the failure of the capital
goods industry to come to life.
This Is the money policy which
leaves US in doubt as to. what may
happen to the dollar. After all,
no man wants to lend a 100-cent
dollar which is to be repaid in five
years when, perhaps, the dollar
will be worth only fifty cents or
less. We have had devaluation of
the dollar SO hiatt to-day 1t has q
gold content of So cents compared
with the 1888 dollar.
Up to now, however, that de-
valuation has not worked its way
into our domestic acceptance of
the dollar. Its. effect has been
limited to the dollars value in in
ternational exchange. But, the
step having been taken, and the
clamor for imitation arising with
increasing violence at intervals,
the prudent investor. cannot help
wondering how long It will be be-
