A GOOD WAY TO UPSET
BUSINESS

1t is rumored that plans are be-
ing considered whereby 100 per cent
margin requirements would be i'm
posed on security markets-that is,
persons who wish to purchase and
carry securities, would be prohibited
from borrowing money on those Sc
curities.
The dangers inherent in such a
move should be thoroughly under
stood. Under present laws, the Fed
eral Reserve Board possesses the au-
thority 70 prevent the excessive use
of bank credit in the purchasing and
carrying of securities. The amount of
credit now outstanding in the secGr-
tiles markets is far below previous
comparable periods.
If margin buying were Outlawed.
/ the immediate effect would be selt
by the security markets. Prices
would be artifiically driven down, at
| the expense of investors. The vol
ume of transactions would be dras-
tically curtailed. There would no
longer be a ready domestic market
for securities market which now
gives the investor a place where he
can buy or sell listed stocks at post
ed prices almost instantly. Capital
would migrate to foreign security
markets where reasonable margins
are allowed.
Infinitely more serious, however.
would be the ultimate effect of 100
per cent margin requirements. New
financing by industry has been al
most non-existent during the depres-
sion. Only now is a start back to
normal financing being made. This
movement would be throttled if bor-
rowing on securities were prevented.
AS result, industrial expansion
plans would be dropped. new oppor-
tunities for employment would be
lost, and potential increases in the
national productive wealth would be
restricted.
We now have a rigorous safeguard
to prevent excessive use of credit in
the security markets, and to stop
wild speculation, in our SIS per cent
margin requirements. Eliminating
all margins would be serious blow
to recovery.

SLUMS AND SUPER.SLUMS

A stirring vision of things to come

that the majority of Americans still

ditions" insofar as protection from
the hazards of dust, smoke, tempera-
ture extremes and noise are concern

FOIL THE SUMNER BURGLAR


! Summer is here-and the burglar
is getting out his housebreakinl
tools. There are six burglary, rob
berry and theft losses for every fire
loss, according to the Association OF
Casualty and Surety Executives. The
vacation months, when so many
residences are empty and unguard-
/ ed, provide ideal. working condi-
| tions for the housebreaker. He does
not have to be wary of sleepers who
may wake momentarily and sound
an alarm. He need have no fear that
dogs angry barking will reveal bis
presence. He can work leisurely and
thoroughly.
II persons who are leaving their
homes unoccupied even for a short
time this summer will take the fol-
lowing precautions, they will add
G. eatly to their protection and peace
of mind:
1. Lock securely, all doors, win
dCws or other entrances to the
house.
2. Inform the police that your
house will be empty. They can keep
watch on it and try the doors and
windows at regular intervals.
8. Take with you or lock secure
ly all jewelry, silverware. furs. val
liable clothing and other articles
easily converted into cash by a thief.
4. Be sure to suspend all deliv-
cries. such as milk, papers, mail. "A
heap of newspapers or milk bottles
on a porch are sure signs that a
house is unoccupied.
In view of the increasing wide
spread threat of the burglary hazard |
to property. local citizens should |
take extra precautions at this time
of the year That is the most effec-
tive way they can aid crime control
in the community.
