IBA WILL HOLD
CONVENTION
IN ATLANTA

An outline of plans for the
coming twenty-fifth annual con-
vention of the Investment Bank
ers Association of America, to be
held in Augusta, Ga, December
2 to 6, inclusive, was received
here yesterday.
In announcing the program,
Orrin G. Wood, president of the
association, states:
Preparations for the conven-
ton must take into account the
increased membership, now at
the highest figure in the assO-
cations history, and the broad
interest in current financial
and investment affairs. To-
days problems, while less criti-
cal than those of recent years,
are nevertheless of vital con-
Germ to everyone in the buSi-
ness, to the investing public and
to the users of capital"
Among guest speakers so far an.
nounced are DR.. Karl T. Compton,
president of the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology; c. A. Dyk.
stra, city manager of Cincinnati;
Lionel D. Edie of Edie-Davidson
Incorporated, consulting econo-
mist of New York; D. Leon Harp,
Texas securities commissioner and
president of the National Associa-
ton of Securities Commissioners;
James M. Lands, chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion; and James D. Ross, member
of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Mr.. Wood will open
the general sessions of the conven-
ton with his presidential address
Friday, December f. The president
of the association added:
"ThOSe engaged in the busi-
ness of procuring capital for in.
duStry are aware of the RESPONSE
biIity they hold at the present
stage of business recovery. Most
of the business expansion to date
has been accomplished with ex-
isting facilities. A start toward
rehabilitation of the industrial
plant has been made, but i'm
prOvements have been financed
in large part from cash on hand.
1T is hoped that the stage will
shortly be reached where new
capital is needed in far greater
amounts. The consequent expan-
sion in business would be the
cure for unemployment"

YORKTOWN, Va, October 10
Speaking a short distance from the
mot where 5000 British regulars un-
der CORVALLIS surrendered, Secretary
Of War Harry H. Woodring declared
today that the FIRST and foremost
duty of a government Is to keep its
people at peace with the world"
t"This does not mean supine sub
mission to aggression he said In an
address at exercises on the 155th an
niversary Of the victory at Yorktown.
ION the contrary, it means such a
resolute defense of its sovereign rights
as to discourage aggression.
America has no quarrel with any
nation. Our country has been so
plentifully endowed by a benign
Providence that we covet no territory,
no wealth, no possession OF any other
country. We aim to follow the in
spired advice of the great Washing
ton who urged friendly relations with
ali nations, entangling alliances with
none. While we carefully avoid en-
taneling political commitments. we
are always ready for helpful co-opera-
ton. ."
50 fortunately we have a man in the
White House who hates war with
every fiber of his SOUL" Secretary
Woodring said. Thank God, he Will
never foster any act OF aggression
which will send your son or mine to
war. His is not purely negative
policy. BY positive action he has
nromoted our warm friendship with
every nation of the Western Hemi-
shere.
I'm recent weeks our prompt action
IN cooperation with other powers has
contributed greatly to the stabilization
Of currencies. unsettled for nearly
decade. In the wake of this stabili-
ration has come lessening OF inter-
national tension, a cessation OF trade
wars and a pronounced trend toward
world peace If the forces now at
work are permitted to continue un-
interrupted. We may confidently look
forward to another expanded and en-
larsed ERA of good feeling
=, For ourselves and for the future OF
America, we can render no more Mt
ting tribute to the brave patriots who
won liberty for America on this f1eld
than to unite our efforts with those
Of our great Presidents in preserving
the peace.
