Behind the
Stock Ticker

Me- YORK - New Deal in
siders have privately tipped off
their New York friends TO look
out for a stable rabbit from the
Washington hat before long. Mar
ket-minded Democrats realize that
booming business and a buoyant
stock market would be a big help
during the election campaign.
Plans to promote them are being
threshed out behind closed doors.
although no definite formula has
yet been agreed upon.
One proposal would involve mo-
bilization Of part Of our huge gold
stocks. II has been suggested
that a scheme might be worked
out whereby an agency of the
u. S. government-perhaps espe-
eially created for the purpose
would buy American securities
now held in Britain and France
and pay them in gold. The gold
would of course be kept here and
earmarked for Allied accounts
thus providing the "democraeies"
with a large amount of liquid
assets to expand their purchases
In the u. s.
A second possibility Is a plan
to have American private banks
lend money on the collateral OF
American securities owned by the
Allies. This would involve close
cooperation between our govern
ment and allied governments and
the banks. That would not be
difficult to arrange. II would
also involve fragrant violation OF
the spirit-not the letter-of the
neutrality and johnson acts. One
of the planners big problems is
how to explain this away to con-
gress and the people.
