Taft Foresees Danger

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
said today the security zone" neu-
trality principle put forward by
Latin American nations was un-
workable and dangerous.
TT seems to me to be a perfectly
indefensible policy to say that the
German and British fleets can not
conduct battles within 300 miles of
American Shores" Senator Taft de-
clared at a press conference, adding
1T is a policy that we can't carry
out, and I don't see why we should
try to. 1t tends to involve us in
disputes with foreign countries
which might conceivably lead to war
later on"
A contender for the Republican
presidential nomination, Senator
Taft recently returned from a series
of speech making trips. He said he
had received "a very good reception u
Senator Taft told reporters two
of the most important issues in the
coming political campaign would be
'the administration fiscal policies
and the excessive character of its
regulatory policies"
Saying many persons had different
ideas on foreign policy, the Ohio
Senator declared Republicans
strongly believe, however, that we
should stay out of war"
And they have some suspicion Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's feelings on that
subject" he added.

Profit-Loss Publication

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today upheld action Of the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion in publishing profit and loss
statements of corporations where
the commissions opinion is based
on substantial evidence and on in
ferences which are not arbitrary
and capricious
The court, in an opinion written
by Chief Justice Lawrence Groner
approved the commission's ruling in
the case of the American Sumatra
Tobacco Corp of Delaware, which
had asked that the commission treat
as confidential part of its profit and
loss statement filed with the Gov
ernment body.
I'VE think the act provides a suf-
f1cient guide of administrative ac-
ton whenever the commission is
called upon to decide whether or not
disclosure is in the public interest,
the court held, adding that the
main purpose of the act is to insure
the maintenance of fair and honest
markets in transactions in securities
on national exchanges"
The stock of the American Su-
matra Corp. is listed on the New
York Stock Exchange and it owns
and controls approximately $500
acres of farm lands in Massachu-
sets. Connecticut, Georgia and
Florida. 1t produces approximately
one-fifth Of the shade-grown to-
bacco raised in the United States.

The battleship is not one Of a

Higher Outlays Anticipated.
A tailor made automobile, using
comparatively expensive materials
and designed to last 80 years, as
battleships are would cost nearer
$4,000 ton, it was said.
From this comparison and in view
of the needs which the high priced
naval vessels fill in protecting
American interests, the Navy ex-
perts conclude the taxpayer is
getting his moneys worth in bat

ships will run even higher is indi-
