News Behind the News
- Straws in Wind

WASHINGTON-Now the New York Stock
Exchange knows what it is likely to get from
the Securities and Exchange Commission
operated under Chairman William O. Douglas
The SEC has just Whammed down on bear
raidins and short selling by ordering that short
sales be made only at a price above the last
transaction in the stock concerned. SEC did
this however no information than
that which the exchange itself already had
gathered.
Here's the story behind the ruling
After studying short sales for two sample
weeks last fall, the Stock Exchange made
statement which appeared designed to dress up
facts and figures to make them prettier than
they really were and to hurry some of the most
significant phases
Finally the Stock Exchange statement said
the figures would be turned over to the TWen-
tieth Century Fund for analysis. and the SEC
could look at them if it so desired. SEC men,
bers looked on that as a back-handed slap and
promptly went to work their own analysis
The result the first trading rule which
SEC actually has promulgated for the Stock
Exchange. The rule carries penalties for viola
ton and in this positive feature differs from
rules imposed by exchanges in cooperation
with the SEC.
Although the SEC doesn't say So it conclud-
ed that II members of the New York exchange
were bear raiding in a distressed market push
ing down the whole list by concentrating on
bellWether leader stocks day after day. 1t
isn't suggested that there was any concerted
effort to discredit the administration but it
has been demonstrated that bears pushed the
market well below points where it could have
been held by public support.
Short selling is sale of stock which the seller
doesn't own, in expectation of decline to price
at which the seller buy and deliver. A
parallel would occur if were to sell an auto
mobile to B for $500 in anticipation that auto
mobiles would be cheaper. would then borrow
a from automobile company deliver it
to B and collect the $500, buy similar car
for $1,000 if the price dropped to that point
give it to the automobile company and pocket
$500. Of course that sort of thing doesn't occur
in the automobile business But it used to go
in the stock market
Consummation of a reciprocal trade treaty
with Great Britain is now virtually certain and
so is the fact that its terms will be of no COM
fort to the japanese.
Tariff concessions made in such treaties by
the contracting nations at once become applicable
TO the goods of other nations although they're
made on commodities which the two signatory
countries are most interested in exporting and
those which they can most expedently import
from each other.
But pains being taken to see that no
provisions in the Anglo American treaty open
the way to any discernible quantity of japanese
products

Bruce Cation Says
Dollar DevaIuation - Good or Bad Thing?

there has been a definite effect on
foreign trade. Devaluation placed
the American dollar in workable
relationship with foreign moneys;
and export of U. S. steel, farm ma
chinery, cotton and automobiles
have steadily increased to the
point where they were a Worthz
while cushion to the recession.
Gold continues to pile up in the
federal vaults under the standing
offer to purchase at an artifically-
high fixed price. Many economists
believe this is a danger, and that
the rest of the world may sudden
ly give up gold as a monetary mea-
sure, leaving us with most of the
worlds supply and nothing to use
it for but fill teeth. But that. too.
is mere crystal gazing
Dollar devaluation and its his
tory thus far prove nothing at all
except that we once took what we
thought was a daring step, and
that its results four years later
were neither the heaven promised
by its advocates nor the hell fore
cast by its opponents.

Two Sides to
Neutrality

When Russell Bailey, local manager OF
the California State Employment Office
here refused to send applicants to the
Lewis-Chambers job, it was reported that
his refusal was ON instructions from Ray
Mathewson of San Diego, manager of
district six of the state service. Later,
it was reported by Associated Press
(not used in this newspaper) that Bailey
changed this policy on orders from
Mathewson, whereupon Mathewson wiz
ed us saying, among other things:
"ReferralS were ordered on direct or
ders to Bailey from Sacramento admin
istrative office over my head. Am of
opinion that it was never intended en-
ployment service should be used to break
strikes. Employment service should re
main absolutely neutral in such cases
and stay out of such controversies.
Question Number One is: Who gave
Mathewson the right to decide what the
service is to do. We thought the people
invested that right in our legislative
bodies?
Question Number Two: Bailey thinks
the service should be neutral. If sending
unemployed men who want to work to
the job helps break the strike and there
fore is not neutral, isn't withholding
men (who want to work) from the job
HELPING TO SUSTAIN THE STRIKE.
We fail to understand Mr.. Mathew
sons reasoning.

Getting Down to
Business


What will be the results of the meet
ing. Friday. between members of the
Farm Bureau Tax Committee, and dis
trict bond-holders?
That is the question in many minds,
and those who expect the immediate
shaping of a definite plan for tighten
ing the load of district obligations prob
ably will be greatly disappointed.
Rome was not built in a day, and the
establishing of a solution to such an
important problem cannot be accom-
plished overnight. 1t is, however, deSlr-
able that definite progress be recorded
at every meeting, and that no time or
effort be wasted in satisfactorily solving
this most serious remaining barrier 10
valley prosperity.
The two main objectives of this meet
ing. as we see it, are:
ID Through intelligent, planned dis
cussion, to clarity issues so as to aid the
Farm Bureau in deciding upon united
front program which they can recon-
mend to the district officials.
90 To sufficiently convince the bomb
holders of the valleys desire to pay
what it can so as to Justify the security
owners in appointing representative
body improved to investigate and nego-
tiate.
These two steps are essential to fur
ther progress. Their realization would
mark the end of preliminaries, and the
beginning of real accomplishment.
Heretofore efforts have been seriously
hampered by the lack of a mutual start
ing point on which both sides OF the
issue could agree. Today, there IS such
a common point of agreement IN the
form Of the economic survey OF the val
ley and financial report of the district
which were made public last week.
Always there has been room for dis
agreement between both sides OF the
argument as to the basic ecOonmic and
scientific and financial facts in the case.
Such disagreement led to the contention
by each party that the other was i'll ad-
vised. or obstinate, or wilfully misrepre
senting the facts. Bond-holders declared
Imperial Valley didn't know what it
wanted, and that it wasn't acting in good
faith And Imperial Valley declared
that its pleas fell on unsympathetic ears.
Now that a point of beginning has
been established, it is to be hoped that
in the name of progress and mutual i'm
provement, antagonisms can be eliminat-
ed and negotiations proceed on friend
" basis with the common objective OF
working out mutually acceptable plan
without undue delay.
