An Achievement

(New York World Telegraph
 There appeared some days ago in the newspapers exhibit which to indicate that in spite of all our bunderng, do move forward.
 This exhibit was large advertisement announc- ing the issuance of large preferred stock issue.
 The advertisement outlined the rising net sales of the corporation since 1929 the constantly improving net income And it added the facts about various favorable aspects the business calculated to inspire confidence in the mind of the investor.
 Four years ago the advertisement would have stopped there. The investor, lured by the enticing factors in the advertisement would have had almost of looking upon the other side of the picture
 But this advertisements, after reciting all the fav- orable facts, contained this paragraph < '
 Hearings have been held in proceeding against the company and a subsidiary before the Federal Trade Commission, under the Robinson -Patman Act, on complaint alleging certain unlawful price dis crmnations in the sale of yeast The company denies any unlawful discrimination. If the commissions decision should require substantial change in present price differenals in present selling practices there might be substantially adverse effect upon the company
 That sentence is inserted of course because of the Securities Act of 1933 which requires a corporation offering bonds shares to state all the facts which might affect it's soundness.
 Almost the day the head of a large n- vestment trust is summoned down to Washington to answer charges that three years ago it filed regis tration statement in which untrue statements of material fact" were made
 The material facts had to do with certain opera tions of the insiders which the investing public could not possibly learn about.
 In the good old 20's it possible to get away with such practice. Today under the law issuers must tell the truth and the whole truth about their securities Can you think of any reason why they should not be compelled to do this? And if they fail to do it and the investor suffers loss should they not be held to strict accountability?
 This is of the gains of today-a gain achieved through law.

A ParadOxical Situation
(New York Times

(NeW York TlmeS)
 Published at moment when union labor has forced the closing of steel mills throughout the try throwing out of work thousands of laborers who desire to continue working report of the Labor De- partment on factory employment in May comes with
 touch of irony. The Department states that factory employment reached in the United States that month the highest figure since November 1929 Its returns show also that the index number exceeded that of any month but one in 1928 and any but four in the three preceding years.
 Even in the durable goods" industries which have been chiefly affected by the labor conflict and which until recently had Jagged behind in recovery from depression the showing for May the best since November, 1929 Factory payrolls the largest of any month since October, 1929; they indicated increase of a million workers and of $49,30000O in weekly payros compared with the month of 1936 In May alone, wages of more than 168,000 fac tory workers increased. Since last October the cumulative total of workers whose wages have been thus increased was 3,347,o00.
 If it be thought paradoxical that campaign of strikes and enforced shutdowns should in face of these evidences of increasing employment and ad vancing wages, the answer is that great industrial activity creates precisely the occasion which such demonstrations have been most familiar There comparatively few of them in the depression period when wages and working forces actually reduced because manufacturing brought profit. Usually strike occurs when trade is active and profitable and when manufacturers resist the wage demands of unions-demands often based higher cost of living The real paradox of the present labor situation is that wages have already been advanced that the majority of workers appear to be satisfied with present arrangements and anxious to continue working but that they have been prevented from doing either by labor minority or by public authorities
 What will be the longer effect of these labor troubles the business stuation-n December the general index of industrial production the highest since 1929 and the April figure not far behind doubtless depends the of the present lock and the extent to which the character and incidents of the struggle business confidence In the steel trade where current production ally decreased have been using stocks ac- cumulaed before the strikes, perhaps in anticipation of them If confidence is shaken this should mean increase of the production rate after the strikes ended But much will depend circumstances

It was Cheka- off in the pilots seat The world continued to wonder about Levanevisky.
 No explanation was offered Unofficial informa- tion leaked Moscow that Levanevisky under arrest or at least detained for something other Nobody seemed to know what
 Whatever they thought in Moscow, the rest of the world was puzzled No official comment has been forthcoming But with one flight made the Pole and another under way announcement from Moscow that Sigsmund Levanevsky will pilot another plane in third flight to be made the polar region to this country.
