THE Federal Securities and Exchange Commission is

informed persons have been vainy telling for several
years-that investment banking firms have legitimate
work TO perform and fact necessary part OF
highly developed national economy.
lesson to this effect has been provided in the
Of the National Power and Light Company.
National Power and Light is of the large utility
combinations which the commission has been breaking
up under the death sentence clause of the Holding
Company Act.
AS a phase of the process the holding company
required to divest itself of ownership in the Houston
Power and Light Company subsidiary and all arrange
ment was worked out TO accomplish the purpose by an
exchange of stock.
THE utility company wanted to employ experienced
| investment bankers to effect the exchanges.
The commission refused to permit the method to be
used.
One hundred and twenty days was allowed for the
stock trades to be effected.
AT the expiration Of the period, only p per cent of
the Houston stock had been disposed Of.
Thereupon the Securities and Exchange Commission
completely reversing self-decded that the only way
which the transfers could be accomplished was by
AUTHORIZING National Power and Light Company to
engage the services and facilities of three Unknown
investment banking firms, and to PAY THE FIRMS for
their work dealer managers.
Obviously if investment bankers are not allowed to
function investment banking will cease to exist.
Perhaps that was the intention of the commission
d UT the experience of the commission itself in trying
- unsuccessfully to make electric power company
operate stockbroker is an indication of what such
policy would eventually mean.
Congress no doubt intended and the public surely
believed that the Securities and Exchange Commission
was established to police the securities markets
But the purpose of policing is to PRESERVE the
useful institutions and functions of society," and not to
DESTROY them
To the extent that it recognizes and follows that
principle the Securities and Exchange Commission will

CAPT. BERNARD MOORE, OF
~ the 30th police precinct OF
New York City, has been digging
up the reports of the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science on peace periods
and war periods in the Christian
era.
From the high point in the old
Roman wars down to 1879 he
finds 902 major wars.
The century of greatest world
peace was the twelfth, with a
war percentage of 81, reckoning
peace as zero. During the Cru
sades the war percentage Tin
time and populations engaged)
was 31.32 per cent.
In the eighteenth century the
graph of war rose to 567.5 per
cent-210 times as high as it
was during the twelfth century
"a good showing for the So
called dark ages).
The jump in the first quarter
of our century was tremendous,
this, says Captain Moore and the
two Russian exiles who compiled
these figures, proves that our
generation is actually over 5000
times as bloodthirtsy and war
like as the men of the twelfth
century and more than 400
times as warlike as the knights
of the crusades."
What the graph will show in
so years with the threat Of
chronic world wars on the hori-
zon cannot be reckoned. 1t will
probably be what mathemati-
clans call x-the unknown.
Now the question arises in my
mind: Why does man as he be-
comes more civilized become
more warlike?
And another paradox that
pushes itself under our noses:
Why are the most civilized and
cultured nations in the pre-
Christian world as well as
in the Christian world the most
war-like?
Is war the dynamo of prog

York friend for a copy of New
York paper that had been
"grapevined' TO him via Syria,
he says:

Germans permit them to print,

Save Free Enterprise

WHAT is the American system of "free enterprise
w which has produced in this country the worlds
highest standard of living and which is now forging the
instruments of victory the worlds most deadly war
fare?
Economists capitalists, politicians and publicists
have given definitions of the term.
Now comes one from outstanding leader of
organized labor-Maj George Berry, president of the
Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union.
Addressing an employeremploye goodwill dinner
at Minneapolis, Major Berry said there are three
inseparabe units in the American systeminvestors,
labor and managementand all of them Indispensable
Too often he commented, the essential role of the
investor is overlooked
ssXY1E are fighting now" Major Berry told his
w audience ito preserve free enterprise, the thrift
system and type of freedom that has made America
great.
And when the fighting over, the three inseparable
units of free enterprise must continue to work together
for rehabilitation of the world.
Economic stability for. all for part OF society
arises from the opportunity to initiate to pioneer and to
profit thereby.
Private enterprise responds to the ambitions and
aspirations OF men.
ut lays the foundations upon which the, thrift
system is safeguarded.
Now, the investor may be possessing the small
dollar growing out of his thrift or he may be one
possessing the large dollar but he entitled tO-and
democratic philosophy requires that he receivea fair
return for his thrift represented in his investment
Management is entitled to adequate compensation
because selected for its efficiency leadership and
labor il entitled to and should receive adequate
pensaOn for the labor mental and ysical given its
part plus the fact that ii represents the bulk of
ing power for the product consumed.
This is free enterprise.
This is situation in which of the three
do the job a whole"
MAJOR BERRY pleaded not only for united effort to
lFl win the but for national unity to repair the
ravages of the when peace shall have been made
1T is the community of interest between investor
management and labor that will win the war;" he said
and it the community of interest between investor
Management and labor that will country from
internal discord when the war has ended"
Sane words like Major Berry's needed anti
dotes TO radical and demagogc efforts to reduce industrial
and business management TO the level of political
automatons and 10 wipe out the investor class as
means Of imposing socialism communism upon
America.
THIS radical philosophy regards taxation of its
revolutionary weapons, not a of providing
necessary governmental revenue.
Undenaby, the investor class can be destroyed by
taxation.
But as Major Berry clearly sees if the investor
class disappears, free enterprise will be gone-manage-
men will be ensaved by bureaucracy and labor will be
degraded to the condition of state chsttels

Letters TO
The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
I NOTICED an item in Satur-
days Times in which Mr.. Nc
Namara, rent administrator, was
quoted as saying that the taxa
ton plea of landlords was indie
feasible.
Very true if ever made. I
never heard it advanced as an
argument for rent increase.
Boiled down 10 a few words
the facts are:
During the recent depression
property owners were compelled
10 reduce their rents almost 10
the vanishing point to keep their
places occupied.
AS times improved and ten
ants got back to work. rentals
were gradually increased but
have never reached the pre-
depression days.
For many years the first Mon
day in May has been known as
Moving Day, for the reason that
it has been the practice of prop
erty owners 10 adjust rents
May l each year.
Mr.. Mcnamara was well
aware of this practice and de-
spite the protests of the realty
interests he stuck a knife into
their vitals by not only going
back year but jumping back
to April, thus cutting off two
years raise instead of one.
There are few Shylocks who
should be penalized. but the
great majority of property own
ers are of moderate means and
are satisfied with fair return
on their investment
This is impossible under the
present regime and should an.
other depression come another
10000 income homes will be sold
for the balance due.
Adequate return on invest
ment is the one and only basis
for the adjustment of rents.
