Summarizing Testimony.
The committee members, headed
by Representative Dies, Democrat
OF Texas, have started summarizing
the testimony of about $50 wit
nesses. Their report probably will
be issued just before Congress meets
January 3.
The inquiry began with testi-
mony about activities Of the Ger
man-American Bund and organi-
cations reported to be connected
with Fascist Italy.
Hearings soon shifted, however,
to Communist activities. Witnesses
testified that agents of Soviet Russia
hold some important positions in
the government, have attempted
to convert some branches of the
labor movement to their goal of
overthrow of the American Govern
ment, and have made greatest in
roads among the unemployed, par

Text of Presidents Remarks
Jefferson Memorial Follows Those to
Washington and Lincoln.

Text of President Roosevelt's re-
marks at the ground breaking for the
Thomas jefferson Memorial at the
Tidal Basin yesterday follows:
Nearly a hundred years ago the
Congress of the United States, in
response to a general public demand,
undertook to provide a memorial in
the National Capital to the first
President Of the United States,
George Washington. There followed
many years of controversy both as to
the type Of memorial and as to its
location. The Washington Monu-
ment emerged as the result of con-
gressional action.
Half a century ago, again in re-
sponse to public demand, the Con-
gress began the consideration of a
monument to the memory of Abra-
ham Lincoln-the preserver of the
Union. Years went by and dis
tinguished committee, following the
broad objectives of the original plan
for the development Of the National
Capital, recommended the creation
of two broad axes in the general
form Of a cross-one axis from the
Capitol through the Mall past the
Washington Monument to the river
bank; the other axis from the White
House past the Washington Monu-
ment ground to another point near
the river.
In line with this well-considered
plan, the Congress erected the Lin
coin Memorial at the end of the
longer axis and it was then the clear
intention both Of the Congress and
OF the many planning committees
and commissions who studied the
subject to complete the other axis
by the erection of public monu-
ment at the fourth corner of the
cross
For more than so years Thomas
Jefferson, the third President of the
United States, has been recognized
by our citizens not only for the out
standing part which he took in the
drafting of the Declaration of indie
pendence itself, not only for his au-
thorShip of the Virginia statute for
religious freedom, but also for the
services he rendered in establishing
the practical operation of the Amer

persons said today it would sug-
gest:

STOCK EXCHANGE PROGRESS

New York Times observes, THAT
there have been abuses of the short
selling practice, as there have been
of manipulation for the rise, nobody
conVersant with the history of Wall
Street will dispute. . In the main,
however, short selling reflects be-
lief that existing Stock Exchange
values are unduly high and win
come down in due course through
natural influences. Whether re-
striction on speculation for the fall.
without restriction on speculation
for the rise, would preserve a proper
equilibrium, is perhaps another ques-
ton"
The Exchange has whOleheartedly
promised cooperation with the SEC
in enforcing the new rule. It's effect
for good or Ill will be discovered
through actual practice. The SEC
and the Exchange face the difficult
task of protecting the public and at
the same time keeping the Exchange
efficient and malleable in order that
the essential business of trading In
securities may be carried on in free
and orderly manner, and that cur
rent prices may accurately reflect
actual conditions.
Milford chronicle., 1938-05-13

There has been considerable ex-
pert comment on the new rules gov
erning short-selling of securities, re-
Gently put into effect by the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission.
Long ago the New York Stock Ex-
change adopted a rule to prevent the
short-seller from "raiding the mar
ket" by providing that he could not
offer his securities at a price below
that of the last recorded sale. The
new SEC ruling says that a short
seller may only offer securities at a
price higher than that OF the last
sale.
As financial authorities point out,
this is a moderate rule, and will not
be disruptive. However. opinion is
far from agreed ON whether short
selling is a detriment or an aid to
an orderly market. AS the Wall
Street Journal points out, "A short
sale must ultimately be covered by
a repurchase. If it should be
found upon analysis that the repur-
chases provided a stabilizing infiu-
ence upon prices, would not the
present conclusion on the whole
subject have to be mOdified?" The

Deliberate Destruction OF Private Property

thorize to visit the homes Of 100000
American citizens and callously con-
fiscate or destroy furniture, radios,
food, clothing. the family automo-
biles and anything else that came
under their hands, there would be an
indignant uprising. The nation would
forthrightly demand repeal of the
law permitting such an outrage.
And yet, as incongruous as It may
sound. this is. in effect, exactly what
Is happening In the struggle between
