PLANS DEBATED
Liberals Want President
Capable of Drawing
100000 Yearly.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8-Debate over
the proposed administrative reorgan-
ization of the stock exchange is hold
ing front-rank place with the market
and business in brokerage circles.
Some members of the liberal wing of
the membership, mostly in the big wire
houses, are pushing campaign for a
high-salaried president who would run
the exchange in the way the Ameri-
can Telephone Co. or United States
Steel Corp. are ruled by professional
executives, without close political or
financial ties.
An annual salary Of 100000 or 50

man, contends one member Of the
liberal" element, which has criticized
the "old guard" as keeping its grip
on the exchange machinery through
key committees, despite the shake-up
which brought Charles G. Gay to the
head more than two years ago.
Advocates of complete revamping
of the machinery, through appoint
ment of more salaried executives to
run the market place, mention men of
the stature of Owen D. Young and
Gen. r. E. Wood, president of Sears
Roebuck, as the type of executive the
exchange should summon to its serv-
ice. However, they are not hopeful
either of these two could be obtained
The possibility is recognized in
brokerage circles the shift to salaried
president may precipitate another tus-
sic between the vaugely defined "old'
and new" guards over who the ruler
should be. A broker who long has
been ruling power in the exchange
said he couldn't see what difference,
essentially, it would make whether the
president was paid or not.
On the other side are those who

MANY BUFFALOES NOW

Through the protection afforded by
game laws gratifying increase in Ameri-
can wild life has been made in recent
years. In fact, in the case of some species
of larger animals the number is becoming
greater than desired.
A notable example of this is seen in
the offer of the government to sell nearly
800 buffaloes, or bison, from some of its
large Western preserves. The price nam
ed is $50 for live buffalo, Grated and de-
livered at the nearest railroad point. Or
one will be furnished at the preserve,
butchered and included the hide, for $50.
Yet fifty years ago it was feared that
the American buffalo would become ex-
tinct because of the tremendous slaughter
of the animals during the early settlement
of the West. Shortly after the Civil War
General Sheridan estimated the number of
buffalo on the Western plains 10 sbe eleven
million. while % years later the number
had been reduced to about eleven hundred.
Before it was too late. however. the
government took steps to protect this most
typically American big game animal, and
the danger of its extinction soon passed.
Now the lack of available grazing land in
government preserves has made II neces-
Sary to reduce the buffalo herds again.

WE ARE THANKFUL

Thanksgiving Day, now a national
holiday, originated because the colonists,
devout followers of Divine Father, wish
ed to express their appreciation of bounti-
full harvests, which meant something to
eat for the following year.
In humble spirit, all of us are inclined
to give thanks to Supreme Being for UNI
told benefits and blessings that have come
to u.s. We realize that life has been good,
in spite of hardships. and that we are not
necessarily deserving of all that we have
received. # IS
In a spirit of reverence we pause in a
busy Fall to utter appropriate prayers for
a beneficence that, upon reflection, we
realize is greater than commonly suppos-
ed. Our standard of living exceeds by far
the eager expectation of past generations
and the well-being of our bodies is the
envy of the world. No wonder, Americans
have felt the need of a special day to re-
turn thanks to God.
We are grateful for past progress and
we should also be thankful for the oppor-
tunity to go forward. Let us give thanks
for the past goodness, which has been
shared by us, but also, in anticipation, look
to the day whensthere shall be morengen-
eral distribution of the munificence of ma
ture among the sons of men.

OUR ARTIFICIAL LIFE

We boost of our modern civilization,
and in many respects it is very wonderful.
But it is also cluttered up by lot of flub-
dub which reflects no credit upon the
courage or intelligence of the average NOR
tai. Out of Difference to innumerable fool
ish customs, conventions and caprices, our
lives are largely artificial and restricted
We must make ourselves uncomfOrt
able in ridiculous clothing; we must be-
come identified with enterprises in which
we have no interest; we must pretend to
enjoy things we loathe; we must submit to
being bored stiff by tiresome people; we
must bow to the DEGREES of self-constituted
dictators in matters of etiquette-or be
classed as barbarians.
Our actions are largely governed by
inhibitions, many of them trivial and with
out any bearing upon true character or
morality, but nevertheless considered bind
ing upon all who would appear civilized
Were these rules and regulations establish
ed by leaders possessed of superior morals
or intellect, they might be observed with
better grace. But if such were the case
the rules would probably be quite differ
ent from what they are.
In the eyes of some of our arbiters, it
appears that breach of table manners is
a more heinous offense than violation of
the moral CODE to wear out-of-style
clothes is more reprehensible than de-
frauding creditor.
But most of us lack the courage to re-
bel, because we must be regular and stand
ardized if we would be classed among the
"best people,

America Demands Peace

That the American people not only hate
war and want peace but that they are more
determined than ever to prevent this country
from being drawn into another foreign war
is self-evident from recent polls of public
opinion released by the press over the coun-
try
The polls prove conclusively that the ma
jority of voters want this government to pur-
sue policies which will mean peace-clear,
Independent and non-conmital policies which
do not go down the road to war. The parallel
of events now with 1917 has awakened in
the people strong conviction that Congress
must legislate for stricter neutrality; that
the war-making powers should rest in the
hands of Congress; that the United States
must keep hands off other nations wars; that
except in the case of invasion the people
should have the right to vote before declara-
ton of war.
Voters interviewed in poll just conducted
by the Institute of Public Opinion showed
SO per cent in favor of stricter neutrality laws
to keep this country out of war. Seventy
three per cent favor a referendum before war
can be declared. Queried on the question,
(Which plan for keeping out of war do you
have more faith in: having Congress pass
stricter neutrality laws, or leaving the job
up to the PRESIDENT" the overwhelming ma
jority replied "Have Congress pass stricter
neutrality laws"
Congressman and Senators have proven, by
their passage of the neutrality law three
times that they do not want interference by
this nation in other peoples wars This was
the sentiment expressed in poll conducted
by the Philadelphia Inquirer on which the
leading question asked was: eff pronounce
ments of United States and League Of Ma
tions condemning Japan as aggressor in Far
East war prove Intellectual, would you favor
or oppose our cooperating with League either
in sanctions or active intervention?" Their
replies to date have been overwhelmingly
against any measures for cooperative inter
vention of any nature.
Other polls bear out the sentiment ex-
pressed above; and all reflect that the Ameri-
can people are united in firm determination

dents America hopes for peace"-America
