IS THIS THE REASON FOR
AMERICAS UNPOPULARITY?

German officials and newspapers, dur
ing recent weeks, have left no doubt in
the world that insofar as Germany is
convinced, the United States is very un-
popular.
One or two possible reasons for this
NaZi reaction have appeared from time
10 time, but none seemed strong enough
to excuse the German attitude.
The first was President Rooseveit's
criticism of aggressOr nations and of
rulers who use force to attain their ends.
Of course such pronouncement was not
received joyously by German officials.
But it seemed hardly enough to Justify
such charges as the one that America is
4 "pangster nation" and that Americans
are bunch Of hoodlumS.
We had to look for some greater rea-
-On for the campaign of hate that was
being waged in the German newspapers
against the United States.
Now we believe, it has appeared.
News dispatches from Washington
this week quoted Sumner Welles of the
state department in a speech reiterating
the Monroe doctrine, and saying in eff
feet hat American defenses must be suf-
ficient to defend not only our own bord-
ders, but the lesser nations of the West
orn Hemisphere.
Not startling statement in itself. But
consider: the German government has
spent thousands of dollars in South Am
erica during the last two years, trying
to win Latin American nations to her
way of thinking.
II is no wonder then, that she resents
Americas stand.
The resentment should in no way be
allowed to influence Americans from
one strong determination. There shall
be no German colonies in South America.

NEW RULES FOR
STOCK MARKETS
(Wall Street JournaD

(Nall Street JournaD
Adoption by the Securities x Exchange
Commission of an additional code of rules
10 govern the New York Stock Exchange.
which that institution has accepted in
principle, carries further the purpose of
both to render exchange regulation as
nearly automatic and self-eXecuting as
it can be made. In addition, the commits
sion here pursueS its previously an
nounced objective Of leaving the polio
ing of the public securities markets in
the hands of managementS of the eX-
changes, subject To the alert supervision
of the SEC.
In formulating these rules. as in its
earlier approaches to a complete system
of Exchange supervision. the SEC has
been cautiously feeling its way intent
upon diScharging its responsibility to the
investing public without unnecessarily
reducing the great usefulness of free
securities market. Thus, the SEC tenta-
lively sanctions the formation of ''affili-
ates" through which Exchange member
firms may engage in underwriting. This
looks toward segregation of broker and
dealer functions. Such affiliateS may
prove a sufficient substitute for absolute
segregation and in any case will enable
Exchange and commission to study that
problem more thoroughly before taking
final action.
In general the new rules are designed
10 disclose to the authorities concerned
every detail of the activities and position
of members and member firms-to main
tain a continuous system of disclosure
which shall render effective supervision
not only possible but even easy. To
certain extent the system is still expert
mental but it goes without saying that
whatever changes may be made will not
be retrograde in character The manage
ment of the New York Stock Exchange
is no less anxious than the SEC that the
securities exchanges shall serve the coun-
try honestly and well.

AGE AND ABILITY

Not all our employment problems are

denied employment to men of their years.
Their slogan reminded the public that

A number of prominent citizens joined
the group. They hoped their organization
would become national. They planned to
set up permanent employment agency
