EURE CRACKS DOWN
ON SECURITY FIRMS
His Policy Is First Protect
Public, Next Licensed
Security Dealers
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, ! July 26.-Secretary of
State Thad Eure, since he has taken
over the administration of the States
blue sky" or capital issues law, is
cracking down" on out-of-state Sc
curity firms which try to get special
issues approved for sale in the State,
unless they first are sponsored by one
of the so or more registered and Ii
censed security dealers in North Car
DINA, he revealed today.
''This policy first protects the pub
lie in North Carolina from being Of
fered unsound securities, it next pro-
tects the licensed security dealers in
the State by giving them an oppor-
tunity to study and investigate these
issues before approving them," Secre-
tary Eure said. Finally, it protects
the firms issuing the securities and
helps them market them since they
are certain of being able to advertise
them as meeting all the requirements
of the North Carolina law, once they
have been approved
Secretary Eure exhibited a letter
from firm in Boston, containing
checks in payments of all the license
fees needed, amounting to several
hundred dollars, wanting to get APP
prevail for the sale of some 100000
worth Of securities in North Carolina.
But Secretary Eure is returning the
letter and checks and informing the
firm that he will not give his approval
to the sale of the securities until they
have first been approved by one of
the licensed security dealers in North
Carolina. He will point out that even
if he did approve this particular issue
it could not be sold except by the Ii
censed statesmen of licensed dealer
her Elm the State, SO that the thing
for the firm to do is to get the ap-
proval of some such dealer to begin
with.
Last week Secretary Eure declined
to approve the security offerings Of
eight other out-of-state firms unless
and until they compiled with the re
uuirements of his office and of the
law. He is convinced this procedure
will result in the offering of only the
highest grade of securities in the state
and in greater protection to investors.

La Guardia promptly accepted, won
and served term as a Socialist To
day he is Republican as we'll as a

AS G.. O. p. Sees 1t.
Well, the New Dealers they should
not be confused with the old-time
Democrats) are more or less radical
party.
Conservatives (most Republicans
and a big group of Democrats) con-
tend that the New Deals trend is to-
wards a dictatorship. Nevertheless, on
the way, it seems to conservatives tC
be radical.
Imagine!
Are conservatives, then, likely te
unite on La Guardia, a more radical
than Roosevelt, as their leader against
the latter?
And who are our conservatives!
They are, of course, the bulk OF the
Republicans plus a stable contingent
of old-fashioned Democrats.
Imagine such an alliance behind
the miscellaneously RcpuSllcan-So

And the only reason why he hasn't
been a Democrat also is that nc
hasn't been urged to be one.
