Stock Losses Reduced
After Sharp Drop
In Early Selling
By VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Large-
scale selling put the stock ticker
tape behind for a while in today's
market but volume soon tapered
and extreme losses running to two
points were substantially reduced or
cancelled.
Reasons for the early sharp reac-
tion, anticipated by many Wall
Streeters, included the good war news
from virtually all fronts which re-
vived talk of possibly quick VIC
tory in Europe and apprehension
over reconyersion troubles for most
armament connected industries
Analysts, however. inclined to view
the stumble as a healthy correc-

average levels since 1887.

A Corporation Is!

Interesting to any one inter-
-eSted- in business or industry is
the following definition-efa
corporation giYen-by James
Parker. president of the Detroit
Edison CO.:
"A corporation Is more than
merely q legal device; 1t Is, in
my opinion, a human device for
great social advantage. 1t COM
bines the resources of many In
vestOrs: We have about $1,000
stockholders in our company.
II makes no difference that In
the past the device has been
abused i'm the hands of ruthless
men. It's the device which has
built American industry, that
has made possible the United
States participation In this war.
The war effort rests upon the
accomplishment of American
business which Is organized al
most overwhelmingly in the
shape Of corporations. Now don't
get the mistaken idea that
think that everything that cor
porations stand for at this mo-,
ment Is good and unselfish--far
from 1t. But I do say that the
corporation Is a social mecha-
nism that in good hands and
with good management and con-
troll will continue to be q useful
instrument In our economy and
social structure"

MOreCOrn

WASHIN NGTON, April O.
American farmers were urged by
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones TO SOW larger acreage 10
food and feed crops this spring
than their present plans call for.
His appeal followed an agricul-
tHre department survey Of plant
ing intentions indicating to [ a
acreage of these crops may fall to
206. 100000 acres or 13,30O,000 less
than goal set by WA.
Jones said mounting food de-
mands for foreign relief make
production in line with established
goals for 1945 even more impor-
tant than when ohjectiYes- were
set in January.
Agriculture department econo-
mists predict the total food out
put this year will drop 5 per cent
TO 10 per cent below 1914 even if
farmers plant as much as they
were asked to. This estimate is
based largely on prospects of
smaller production Of meats and
other livestock products.
