My own view is that the in

Hitler Chief Enemy

To begin with. ones first
thought in this case is probably

Stalinism will help us in our

feat Hitler. AT the very least,

New War Move
Strengthens
u. ). Position
BY LEWIS HANEY

Prof. Of Economics. New York tniversit,
Doubtless the possible future
results of the German attack
upon Russia cannot be known
at this time. Clearly they will
depend somewhat upon the
military outcome. and that can
hardly be known for a few
weeks. Meanwhile we do not
even know what Hitler's objec-
tive is, and that has an inn
portant bearing upon the results.
Doubtless, too, opinion here
will vary. Probably there will
be the usual tendency first TO
see the bullish aspects: then 10
react 10 the less favorable pos
sibilities; and finally TO discount
the net result correctly.
But despite certain unfavor-
able aspects and a good many
drawbacks, il seems TO me that
the total net effect of the new
turn the war is taking is TO be
regarded as an Improvement in
the position of the United
States and its industries.

Initiation Hedge

The young capitalist further
argued that the trouble with
common shares as an initiation
hedge is that they are on the
wrong side OF the fence politi-
cally. He reasoned that the
politicians. needing huge tax
receipts to finance defense eX-
penditures, would find it eXpedi-
ent 10 soak the corporations and
thus make ownership OF corpo-
rate equities correSpondingly
less attractive Incidentally, an
official of a British life insur-
ance company, with substantial
common stock commitments, in
a statement 10 this column re-
Gently pointed out that the 100
per cent excess profit tax in
Great Britain had taken the lure
out Of stock investment. The
American capitalist pointed out
that the tax collecting agencies
have a first lien on the receipts
of all corporations.
Thus, as politicians become

Stocks Weak;
Cotton, Wheat

international New. servie. Wire

NEW YORK. June 27.-The
stock market moved shade lower
today. Losses in most instances
were restricted to minor proper
tions. A few issues bucked the
trend for small gains.
The speculative spotlight again
was trained on commodity mar
kets, cotton leading with a squirt
of better than 81 bale to new
ll-year peaks. Wheat, up almost
a cent a bushel, reached its best
level since May. 1910. and most
minor staples moved well above
yesterdays closing prices.
American Telephone and Ameri-
can Can were among the few
issues TO drop a point.
United States Steel and Crucible
gave up fractions. but Bethlehem
and Youngstown Sheet and Tube
held around last nights final quo
tations. General Motors was
shade lower, but Chrysler gained
as much. -
Generally lower levels prevailed
in the rail, copper aviation, mail
order. oil and rubber sections.
Utilities were barely changed.
Proctor e. Gamble stood out with
Il fractional advance 10 new top
for the year. Chemicals held their
ground.

Shift Of Power

Recognizing this trend, a
young capitalist, who has been
seeking 10 find a way 10 con-
serve his funds. recently told me
that he has been increasing the
ratio Of his balanced portfolio
in federal bonds. His reasoning
is that he would rather play ball
with the politicians than 10 buck
them. He thinks that the baby
bond campaign and the current
defense savings, campaign, which
are distributing federal bonds
among millions Of small holders,
is getting United States bonds
into the hands Of the right "
people. whom the politicians will
want 10 protect Furthermore,
he reasons that bonds expressed
