Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The
Thanksgiving fare was spread thin
ly in the stock market today and
provided only enough nourishment
for meager rally.
The holiday tomorrow, while it
tempted some closing out of specu-
lative accounts on the bear side,
seemed to be one of the influences
making traders play safe on the
spectators benches.
There was barely enough business
to keep stock tickers going much
of the time although a midday
buying squirt was help in raising
transactions to about million
shares.
The slow-footed rally marked a
change from the recent descent from
the 1888 tops, but brokers noted lit
tie difference in the essential char
acteristics of the market. In bonds
and commodities, too, markets more
or less were stalemated.
The Wall Street consensus still
seemed to run toward expectation Of
more business improvement. But
analysts figured speculative markets
had entered one of the intervals Of
uncertain drift frequent in major
trends upward.
A few individual performers
staged most of the pre-Thanksgiv-
ing show. Dunhill international,
active on rumors the company would
enter the popular priced cigarette
field and hopes it would benefit
from tariff cuts in the British
American trade treaty, stretched
its advance for more than 2 points
at one time during the day. Gil
max Molybdenum was another
staunch climber.
Also out in front on the rally
were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Ana
conda, Kennecott, Westinghouse,
American Smelling, U. S. Gypsum
and Air Reduction. Worthington
Pump shares fell on news two pre-
ferred dividends had been post
poned.
On the curb prices were up mod
erately for Aluminium of America,
American Cyanamid "B,' Great At
lantic Tea and Sherwin Williams.

Bankers Association also sent copies
of the letter to all members.
During the past few days The
Star has received several more re-
quests for copies of the paper in
which the article appeared. There
are none left Requests have come
from every part of the United
States, Mr.. Burton being amazed
over the interest still being mani
tested in the letter.
The Burton letter answered in de-
tail the charge that bankers had
gone on a "sit-down strike against
making loans. In conclusion Mr..
Burton said that banks could not
take chance" and loosen up" with
loans in cases where there was no
likelihood that the money would be
paid back. Banks loan their GUS
toners money, and that money has
to be protected, he concluded.

proach to last nights attendance

was followed by a buffet lunch.
International Law in Eclipse.
In his address DR.. Walsh analyzed
the present foreign relations of the
United States and declared that the
test of American craftsmanship
must be met in two quarters, our
relations with Japan and this Ma
tons attitude toward the Nazi
government. He said:
Truly, international law is in
total eclipse and the lights OF re-
ciprocated confidence and mutual
respect are going out. one by one,
along the highway of international
relations.
Our days of happy isolation and
insulation from the shock of for
eign upheavals are gone forever
and we are now committed to an
enlarged program of national de-
fence that cannot fail to affect the
structure of our tax schedules and
put heavy drain on our entire fiscal
system" Dr. Walsh asserted.
Germany Major Challenge.
after Japan, the second major
challenge to American statesman
ship comes from Central Europe.
The spectacular expansion of Ger
man territory and German influence
raises questions that 60 far beyond
territorial and economic considera-
tions and strike at the very roots
of public law, public welfare, re-
ligious liberty and international
peace.
ct is only plain truth and sheer
realism to admit that Germany is
the dominant and controlling power
on the continent of Europe today,
her territory substantially increased,
her population augmented by some
10 millions, and her military re-
sources superior to her strength in
1914.
I'm 20 years her government has
reversed the victory of 1918 and
in the audit of net results is now
the victorious dictator that can
summon her previous conquerors
to her Council Chamber of Munich,
there to hear the terms under which
an armistice would be granted.
THE persecution of Jews, based
on the myth of racialism, and the at
tacks on Catholics, based on the
need of subduing all independent
minds to the regimented pattern of
the dictators needs, both reveal
the vicious circle on which all die
tators embark who substitute force
for reason, equity and persuasion.
Knowing that his power feeds on
alleged emergencies, he must manu-
facture them to maintain his lead
ership. The strain is terrific and
ends in a crescendo of hysterical,
irrational fury" DR.. Walsh con-
cluded.
