INVESTING GROUPS
GAIN MORE FAVOR
Sound Investment Practices
Are Clarified By Federal
Legislation

The year 1910 has consolidated
the gains made by investment
trusts in recent years. These gains
have had to do largely with re-
gaining and holding public cont-
dence lost during early years. Per
haps the most outstanding develop
ment has been the passage OF FED
eral legislation under the tltle OF
the Investment Companys Act OF
1910. This was based on an exten-
siye study of the problem by the
Securities and Exchange Cornmls-
sion. The new statute clarifies and
noints out in legal verbiage facts
which have long been accepted as
proper procedure by soundly man
aged concerns. In addition II
places the regulation of these com
panies under the commission and
provides penalties for violation OF
its terms. These penalties actually
give the commission the power TO
force recalcitrant concerns 10 90
out of business.
Without attempting to analyze
the lengthy act in detail 1t can
be said quite confidently that
many of the hazards associated
with the past history Of the invest
ment trust business are now elrnl-
mated OF reduced. Each company
must now be registered with the
commission, must eliminate man.
agerial connections with banking
houses and must avoid hidden or
excessive contracts with invest
ment counsel.
Il should not be assumed that
all problems Of the buyer OF IN
vestmennt corporation securities
are thereby eliminated. The ability
and investment judgment OF man
agement are still factors OF prime
importance. Fortunately, however,
managements have passed through
severe tests in the past few years
and have learned much thereby.
Increasing recognition is being
given to more conservative invest
ment principles.
AS result it is becoming easier
to analyze the possibilities OF IN
dividual companies, through a
study Of their past record and
using this as a guide to the future.
The investment company field,
as now constituted, is wide one
offering much to the small investor
in the way of divereification which
he could not secure individually.
He may choose his own type OF
investment whether it be modest
income with safety, high income
with correspondingly greater risk,
or simply capital growth. Further
more, specialized companies have
developed offering diversified
groups Of securities in special
fields, so that the Individual may
take his pick, depending on which
industrial classification he feels
comes the closest to meeting his
own personal requirements. 3

up for guns in 1910. Probably, in
fact. the industrial sections Ct
America will be better fed than
ever before. It might, however,
become a question of guns versus
bridges or a certain type Of car.
AS things stand now, the govern
ment is much averse to dlverting
materials from consumer require
ments to feed the war machine.
But the steel industry, which had
80 percent Of its capacity out OF
use a few years ago, is straining
its resources now to deliver ton
Grating rate might be 100 percent
except for the recurring necessity
of furnace repairs. Some eXpan-
sion programs have already been
announced but naturally they will
have little effect on 1941 produc-
ton. Should war and defense de-
mand become acute, it might be
mage. The current 81 percent op-
found necessary to institute a
rather rigid system Of rationing
in dealing with non-defense orders.
Americas mighty production ma
chine is raising against time. From
standing start, it has not done
TOO badly; not we'll enough, ac-
cording to figures now available,
but astounding production totals
Will be compiled in the next Gwelve
months. e

Szense Council Is On War FOOTING
Unity Is The Keynote
AT Victory" Party

Held only a few hours before
japanese warplanes attacked U.
S. territory, the most interesting
aspect of the "Victory" Party,
sponsored by the Greenbelt Fight
for Freedom Committee, proved
to be its timeliness. Sponsors Of
the overflow turnout at the party,
held at the Greenbelt Legion
House on Saturday evening, De-
cember 6, felt that the affair was
i success because of it's spirit of
unity towards our total defense
effort.
Chief speaker for the evening
was M. Pierre Cot, former Avia-
tion Minister of France. M. Cot
traced the decline of his country
and emphasized that France fell,
not because of military weakness,
but because of disunity in the
government.
Representative Patrick of Ala
bama, master of ceremonies, drew
laughter of approval with his sa-
lient humor. His remark about
Japanese Aryans" was typical
example.
A dramatic narrative tracing
Hitler's successive invasions Of
European countries was read by
Mrs. Theodore Wilson, accompa-
MED by music and solo renditions
Of the national anthem of each
fallen country.
Maurice Blond, caricaturist,
presented the lighter entertain
ment fare, by giving a chalk talk
which delighted the audience, and
drawing caricatures of guests.
Dancing, including a Dutch folk
dance in costume by DR.. H. Du-
buys and Mrs. S. Henes rounded
out the program. Hot dogs,
sandwiches and beer rounded out
the appetites.

have been issued to volunteers, of
which $40 have been returned,
giving qualifications of regis
trants. Mrs. Rogers further stated
that the number of volunteers
showed sharp increase on Mon
day, after the Japanese attack on
Sunday. It was suggested by Mrs.
Rogers that, since large number
of women have not volunteered
because of their home duties, they
be assigned to care for children
of women who are in a position
to give their services. 1t WIS de-
cided that the Women's Club
would transfer their registration
activities to the fire house as head
quarters to receive volunteers.

that the first aid class was pro-
crossing satisfactorily, but that
only fifteen women were attending
the weekly classes. Chairman
Walther, stating that everyone in
Greenbelt should learn what to do
in the event of casualties, asked
DR.. Joseph Silagy for a report on
his activities concerning first aid
instruction. DIR. Silagy reported
that there are five or six expert
instructors, who with the women
now taking the course, should be
capable of reaching every adult
in Greenbelt, by holding nightly
classes in the elementary school.

Defense Council and agreed to
