FREE ENTERPRISE TO
BE TESTED

Both candidates at heart believed
in free enterprise so long as it
will keep people employed. When,
however, it does not prevent unem-
ployment the voters surely will de-
mand that something be done. This
something" will be quack remed-
les contrary TO the spirit of free
enterprise.
Certainly, much will be Gone for
the returning soldiers, sailors and
airmen. Some of this aid will be
uneconomic and wasteful; but Wash
ington will be driven to it, Such
action will help along the inevitable
initiation and some day cause us
q lot of trouble. This, however,
should not come until around 1850.
SOME CONCLUSIONS
In short, conditions make Presi-
Cents: rather than do Presidents
make conditions. The masses of the
entire world are on the march.
Neither Roosevelt nor Dewey nor
an undecided election o can stop
them. II is a mistake TO try 10 block
them as did Avery Of Montgomery
Ward; il is a mistake to cheer them
as have many politicians during
the past two months. The wise man
will attend TO his own business,
keep out Of cebt, educate his chill
dren to be useful and wait for these
masses to learn their lesson through
experience.
As to the effect of the elections
on the markets, I expect no more
changes than have already occur
led l am bearish on municipals and
ether high grade bonds; but am
still bullish on most Well-Selected
stocks. I CO, however, not like the
rails, aircrafts or shipping stocks
for the next four years.

Stock Prices Uneven,
Buyers Turn Again
To Junior Motors
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. IS. - Low
priced motors and other stocks with
peace possibilities attracted bids in
today's market while some war
benefited issues suffered from mild
liquidation.
Reason for selectivity was found
IN the overnight news of the big
Allied invasion Of Southern France
which, to Wall Street pundits,
spelled the beginning of the end
for the Nazis and recapitulation of
domestic psychology concerning in
dustrial transition. The result was
considerable switching OF accounts
and the decision of numerous Gus
toners to stand aloof pending de-
velopments at home and abroad.
Trends turned cloudy after a
steady start and were irregularly
lower near the close without dis
playing real weakness. Junior auto
motive sprinters, appearing in blocks
Of 1000 or more shares, accounted
for periods OF fair activity. Trans
fers for the full stretch ran to
around $1,000 shares.
Among popular performers REQ
Motors jumped a point to a 1914
peak. Ahead at intervals were
Graham-P Paige. Hupp Motors, Santa
Fe, Sinclair Oil, U. S. Lines, Douglas
Aircraft, Anaconda and Johns Man
vile. Some of these failed to hold.
Slipping tendencies were shown by
U. S. Steel, Canadian Pacific, Great

Standard Oil IN. j., Westinghouse,
Oliver Farm and Du Pont.
