HANES AND FRANK
INDORSED BY GAY
Head of New York Stock Ex-
change Approves of Nominees
to S. E. C.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Charles r.
Gay, president Of the New York Stock
Exchange, yesterday spoke highly Of
John W. Hanes and Jerome N. Frank,
nominated by President Roosevelt to
be members of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Gay said:
Il have met Mr.. Frank only once
and that very recently. He impressed
me as being extremely able and as
having f1ne enthusiasm for public
service.
L have known Mr. Hanes for many
years as one of the most competent
OF the younger men in the financial
community. His training and expert
ence are such as to qualify him emf
nently in my judgment for the public
responsibility which he is assuming
at great personal sacrifice"
Frank said in q statement:
"It has been and is the policy of
the commission to protect the inter-
ests of the public by seeking to estab-
lish relations with the exchanges.
founded on basic horse sense and in
telligence, with the least possible fric-
ton, minimum of red tape and COM
plete candor from all parties"

for social betterment and put no re-
straint on its finding. He merely
orders up 10000 900 worth Of crucible-
tested facts. If they can be obtained,
for the good of all corners.
HIS was a tailor's son in Allegheny,
Pa, the eldest of five children, with
little schooling, a journeyman tailor
at the age Of IA. In Pittsburgh. he
worked for his uncle, William Klein,
also a tailor. At Is he became a
travelling salesman and discovered his
business ability. In 1893, with his
friend, Harry Weiskopf, he picked up
a pile of old rubber and scrap iron
known as the Duquesne Reduction
works, and developed it into a paying
property. In 1908, he and his brother.
Leon, bought an old tin plate COM
pany, ready for the scrap heap. 1t
later became the great Weirton Steel
Co.
Their steel operations grew and
widened until they were numbered
among the leading producers. He
became a director of the National Steel
Co. The brothers were generous Civ
ers to education and philanthropy.
They endowed the Falk Clinical Dis
peEsary, the first of its kind, with
5000 ,0C0. The first Mrs. Falk died
in 1928 and. in 1880, he married Mrs.
Selma K. Wertheimer Of Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Falk lives simply, Is never
opinionated, counsels tolerance, and
says he has no other purpose in life
than TO further education and un-
derstanding which will improve gov
ernment and human relationships in
general.

bill, and what is the matter with the
whole national economy right now.
Reading the Senate crop-control
bill, one can see what happened
Some writer OF the original draft
provided that farmers shall be per-
mitted to raise only SO much wheat
or corn or other crop as the Secretary
Of Agriculture dictates. Whoever
wrote this was, of course. q believer
in authoritarian government, whether
consciously or not. Then, in the
writing of some subsequent draft of
the bill, some believer in freedom for
the individual took q hand He saw
this provision and he said, in effect:
This won't do, this is monstrous; 1t
is not American that q farmer should
be required to plant only SO much
as the Government at Washington
dictates"
Rejecting upon some kind Of
remedy he said, In effect: I'VE must
at least give the farmer a right of ap-
peal" So there was written into the
bill provision that the farmer shall
AA"'S iiSliS Vi appeal
He shall have three appeals, one to a
review board, q further one to a re-
view administrator and a final appeal
to the Federal courts. Thus the bill
stands in the Senate. The farmer
shall have quota imposed on him
That Is authoritarian government.
But he shall have a right OF appeal .
That Is the American system of free
dom for the individual.
Takes Time TO Appeal.
But look into this appeal. The
farmer gets his quota 80 days before
the opening of the season for planting.
He is dissatisfied and he wants to ap-
peal. But those three appeals would
consume more time than 1t takes for
the crop to grow. The farmer, II sue
cessful in his final appeal. would get
the right to plant a larger acreage
just about the time the crop should be
harvested
What is the lesson? This right Of
appeal is utterly valueless. And what
Is the further lesson? 1t Is that you
can't mix two things. You can't mix
authoritarian government with free
dom for the individual. II we are
TO have authoritarian government at
all, we must take the whole of it.
And II We take the whole OF author
itarian government. we must dismiss
the whole Of the American tradition
and principle of freedom for the in
dlvldual. If We are 10 have authori-
tartan government, We must give gov
ernment the right to say to the in
dividual: You do what we say and
do 1t quick, and no back-chat about
it-no back-chat in the form of appeal
to the courts, and no back chat in
the form of free opinion or a free
press"

economy-and the failure 10 mix re-
