be for him that he could earn
nothing to support his family,
and wished with all her heart
that something might come of her
request to the lawyer about po-
sition for him.
It was not until the second day
later that Mr.. Bryant sent Mar
jorie word that he had the pa
pers ready for her. So. Marjorie,
amid a. howl from the children,
started off early in~the morning
again.
To Marjorie the day was full
Of excitement. 1t was so good to
know that the matter of the

Mead Bill Is Raped
By Financial Publisher
81 eclal Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June 12-Dlscuss-
ing the Mead bill now before Con-
gress for Goyernment-gu guaranteed
loans to business. Louis Guenther,
publisher of the Financial World.
says:
''1nasmuch as the capital needed
to guarantee such a lending pro-
gram must eventually be drawn
from the taxpayers, the scheme re-
solves itself into another one OF
those speculative ventures for which
the New Deal has become notorious.
and one where the risk is assumed
by the people without their having
any voice in the management or in
how their money is to be used When
it comes to guiding loans into de-
slrable channels. the Government
cannot boast of any superior ac-
complishment. We need only to
point to the experience in the home
owners financing, where so many
have been drawn into contracting
loans but who later discovered they
could not meet these obligations
and were compelled to lose their
homes through foreclosures.
Small businesses in need of capi-
tai should be encouraged, but only
when their balance sheets and earn
ings record justify it, The danger,
OF course, lies in extending credit
involving undue risks. But all this
paternalism would be unnecessary
if the Government would take its
clamps off business"

NEW YORK. June 12.-Rallying
animation faded from the stock
market today and leading issues
stepped down fractions to more
point
Recovery proponents derived a
grain of comfort from the fact SELL
ing was exceptionally light through
out. Transfers for the five hours
were around 100000 shares.
Although the news was not Of
character to cause, dancing in the
financial streets, it, nevertheless,
was far from being unusually de-
pressing.
Some observers felt the list was
entitled to breathing spell after
last weeks rising performance and
profit taking in recent gamers was
inspired partly by this thought.
Union labor troubles, confronting
the General Motors plants in Michi-
gan were hardly conducive to bull
lshness, but hope was expressed a
settlement would be reached soon.
Early carrier reports indicated a
sharp rebound in last week freight
loadings following the memorial
holiday week. but rail stocks were
no better than others.
Prominent shares in the offside
drift included United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Mo-
tors, United States Rubber. Mont
gomery Ward, SafeWay Stores,
Douglas Aircraft. American Smelt-
ing, Westinghouse, Dupont, Johns
Manvllle. Philip Morris, United
States Gypsum, Santa Fe and Great
Northern.
Among the few resistant issues
were Pan-American Airways. Gobel,
Philadelphia Reading Coal & Iron
and International Harvester.
