their long range bombers against
Italy and again bombed the north
ern Italian industrial areas of Mi
Ian. Turin and Cuneo.
A United Press observer who
watched the fighting all last week
from a southeast British coast van-
tage point reported that the Ger
mans had failed to clear the sky
to enable their bombers to make
accurate, large scale attacks possible.
He reported that Raj fighter

Kent and Hampshire. A number of
planes we're said to have been des-
troyed on the ground at Croydon

mouth and Weymouth were attacked
as well as arms factories in Nor
Wich and Essex.

Why are wars breaking out

Why shouldn't our president

- -
Financial officials here are
deeply concerned over the
method Of dispoang Of these
stocks and bonds. which total
several billion dollars. Disorderly
dumping could easily raise the
devil with the market So. for
a while, there was strong senti-
ment for formation Of a semi
official corporation TO take them
over and liquidate them quietly
and cautiously. But Berlin.
which 50 far has chosen 10 enter
no complaint against our pro-
Ally policies, intimated that 1t
might protest against such
pocketbook aid to the Allies.
The alternative plan is for a
private banking house - prob
ably the Morgan's to undertake
the selling. They would buy or
advance money on the securities
on the basis of a sliding scale
OF valuation. and sell them To
the best advantage for the Brit
ish government Some federal
agency, perhaps the SEC, would
cooperate with respect to valua-
ton and the time element In
disposing of them. but the tie
up on the surface would be
tenuous. Washington would not
handle the papers; it would sim
ply advise on how they should
be handled. Carlyle Clifford of
London and Morgsn's will run
the show.
Alibi - SEC-ers are privately
thankful for the fairly steady
selling of American securities
owned by foreign interests. In
cidentally, the liquidation has
been more heavy than the pub
lie realizes. For some strange
reason the treasury's reports on
these sales always lag six weeks
behind the actual transactions.
Reason for the SECS salts
faction is their inside realization
that these sales have acted as a
brake" on the market. Had
stocks levels kept pace with the
artificial industrial activity pre-
cipitated last fall by unfulfilled
expectations of war orders, Wall
Street would have witnessed a
runaway boom = and a minor
crash. AS reported here - and
as events demonstrate - Ameri-
can business and industry are
suffering a morning-after head
ache because their dreams of
billions in foreign purchases have
not materialized. The stock
market, as an index of economic
activity and prospects, Is now
near its proper level, according
to Washington sharks.
Moreover, the SEC preferred
liquidation to the only alterna-
tives for underwriting belliger-
ent buying. 1t is more healthy,
