NEW YORK, March 28.-With
two exceptions, business recovery in
Canada is continuing at a satisfac-
tory rate, exceeding the current
rate last year by 80 per cent, the
Standard Statistics Co. reported to-
day.
Except carloadings and building
contracts, which were approximate
ly Is per cent lower, all other ma
jor indexes of Canadian business
showed a definitely improved trend
for the initial two months this year.
One striking result of the recently
initiated reciprocal trade agreement
with the United States has been a
tremendous increase in sales of
American magazines in the Domin-
ion, one magazine alone showing a
gain of 125 per cent over last year.
AS a consequence the advertisement
OF American products in Canada
has increased proportionately and
it is expected that this will result
in a corresponding stimulus to
American sales of all kinds.

RESERVE BOARD
SET To BOOST
U. s. SECURITIES
Open Market Committee
Has Virtual Dictatorship
Powers.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 28.-The
Federal Reserve System, operating
through the Federal Open Market
Committee, is now equipped to give
the market for government securi-
ties "shot in the arm" at any
time it shows signs of tagging, OBJ
servers believed today.
They foresaw the possibility of
the Open Market Committee stimu-
lating the market for government
securities through that committees
domination of the Federal Reserve
banks and their huge reserves in
the purchase or sales of Federal
government securities.
This domination was provided in
new regulations for the conduct of
open market operations" of the
Federal Reserve banks. These oper-
ations deal with the purchase and
sale of Federal government securi-
ties in the open market.
DlCtdLOTSnlp EStaDlShed
Heretofore, Federal Reserve banks
were authorized to buy and sell
Federal government securities at the
discretion of their individual boards
of directors. Under the new rules
they may do so only upon the eX-
press authorization and direction
of the Open Market Committee,
This, in effect, sets up a dictator
ship over the financial offerings of
the Federal government. That die
tatorship is headed by Mariner S.
! EccleS, chairman both OF the board
Of governors of the Federal Reserve
System and of the open market
committee.
Can Enter Market ANY Time
The new regulations direct that
each Federal Reserve bank shall
make available to the Federal Re-
serve bank selected by the commit
tee such funds as may be necessary
to conduct and effectuate such
transactions" in the purchase and
sale of government securities as the
open market committee may order.
Under this authority the open
market committee can go into the
market at any time that public en-
thusiasm appears to be lacking for
on iccJ1o Of COuory1y ,oo7,t eoo,,r;4;or
such as bonds, notes, certificates of
Indebtedness, Treasury bills or other
obligations, and give new impetus to
the buying.
Also, when the market gains mo-
mentum as result of this govern
ment-stimulated push, the open
market committee can direct that
the securities so bought shall be
sold in the open market.

INTERNAL SETUP
Telephone Firm Accused of
Failure of Economic
Planning
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The
Federal Communications Commits
sion today bitterly criticised what
it called the failure of economic
planning" by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., most
powerful private corporation in the
world.
The commission charged the
chief statitstician of the A. T. &
T. and its 1877 associated companies
with patent inaptitude" in making
long term business forecasts.
The failure of economic planning
in an industry so extensive in scope,
so centralized in administration,
with stable price structure and
no competition, is one of the curious
incongruities in the recent history
of the Bell System that needs to
be investigated" the statement con-
tinued.
Issue 150-Page Book
1t was produced by economists
working under the Federal Commu-
lllCdDlOllo OOllllliloolOllJ W1llCfl WdS

corporation with globe girdling in
tereStS.
For more than a year 215 Fed
eral accountants and attorneys have
been porting over the books of the
Bell System companies preparing a
report to Congress, expected in June
Their preliminary findings were
contained in a 150-page book, enti-
tied Special Investigation Docket
No. One and crammed with sta
tistical tables, showing how the
company conducts a multimillion-
dollar annual business in communi-
cations, real estate, securities sales
motion picture financing and man
ufacture of such diverse products
as electric eyes and parts for player
pianos.
The report accused the company
specifically of apparent overexpan-
sion of plant" through the failure OF
its long-term forecasting system to
function when the depression be-
gan. The Federal experts said the
A. T. & T. now was using "only an
annual forecast"
