regulate mine financing.
Richardson's report, made to the
annual meeting of the National As
ISOLATION of Securities Commission
ers at St Louis, Is being distributed
by the Mining Association of Mon
tana. II follows:
AS chairman of the mining secur-
tiles committee of the National AS
ISOLATION of Securities Commission
ers. desire In this report to di-
gress from the traditional attitude
of criticism toward mining secur-
tiles and instead endeavor to point
out the peculiar position mining as
an industry holds In our economy.
It has, In the past, been and to a
lesser extent now Is only too true
that the lure of relatively easy min
eral wealth has appealed strongly
TO the unwary investor and in con-
sequence the usual swarm of locust
like promoters, swindlers and conf
dence men has swooped down upon
the lush fields of accumulated
wealth TO extract the savings of the
willing weak-minded public and in
exchange for cash, give certificates
of stock in an alleged mining enter
prise.
Is 1t quite fair, | ask, to allow this
tradition of skepticism of mining to
persist? | have been for more than
Is years in the investment business
before / entered the field of security
regulation My memory is not so
dim but that l cannot vfvidly recall
the losses said to run to many bill
lions of dollars in real estate mort
gage bonds issued by companies
whose records boosted of so many
years without loss to any investor.
Yet we do not frown upon real
estate mortgages or mortgage bonds
as we are too prone to frown on
mining as medium of investment.
My memory is also alert to
the billions lost In foreign cred
it's sold 20 American investors
by investment banking firms
whose names and titles are still
among the most widely known
and best respected In their field
of business. Vet we do not raise
an eyebrow when these same
statesmen bring out a deal of
amy usual kind. Should these
digntfied names that grace the
industry of securities disttibu-

ton offer mining stock, the
shoulders of many of their com
petitors would shrug and some
one might give expression to-.
the thought many would enter
tain, -Has so-and4sO gone nuts?"
suppose the reason for the lack
of realism concerning mining as an
industry is based upon the negative
virtue of ignorance. When the
avaricious skeptic who lost his
money in some mining venture later
raised his voice In protest so the
whole world would hear, others, too,
joined their voices with bis and the
tumult and the shouting left an
echo that still Is heard the length
and breadth of our fair land. The
loser in real estate mortgage issues
and foreign credits may have been
sorry for his losses, but the credu-
lOus Spectator In mining stocks in
addition TO his sorrow adds anger
at the sacrifice of great promises
of potential profits which he has
thus been denied. In other words
his cry is louder because of the
dashed hopes. He has little SYM
pathy for the investor who only
lost his money.
Last winter the Colorado mining
association and the American min
ing congress held a joint conference
in Denver. This meeting was at
tended by many whose names are
prominent in politics and govern
ment. To this meeting was adj
dressed letter from the president
of the United States. Over his sig
nature Mr.. Roosevelt wrote:
During the past two years,
the dependence of the nation ON
many of its domestic ores has
been amply demonstrated. For.
tunately, the mining industry,
with the help of government
loans, subsidies, price premiums
and other forms of aid, has been
able to provide, during this
extraordinary period, the metals
and minerals that have made
possible the record production
of ships, gums, tanks, airplanes
and the other weapons of war.
We viii have to continue to
produce the mineral raw mate
rails essential to the prosecution
of the war, laying aside all con-

New Concept Needed in Regulating Mine Financing

stderafi0ms mot compatible with
this prime objective until vic
tory IL definitely and frweyoc-
ably oars.
without losing sight OF the
arduoas tasks ahead of as, we
must bear in mind that the
mining industry. like agricul-
ture, is basic TO the national
welfare, I'm peace as wen as I'm
war. To exist and prosper, our
nation mast have strong and
self-sustaining mining industry.
The federal government should
do all IL can to foster It's de-
vel0pmenf on that basis
Now, let us get the straight on
this matter. To him who still thinks
of mining as an industry that deals
principally in gold and silver viii
say, You are 0ld-fashioned! Mining
today is a vastly different matter
and must be judged in the light of
modern metal uses and industries,
political and international implica-
tions."
Having in mind this new concept
of the mining industry, let us give
thanks that others realized the
fallacy of depreciating the industry
and to them give credit for the win
ming of our wars and for the making
OF our living standards what they
are today. sa

caared yesterday before a luncheon
meeting of the Ward Belmont
Alumnae Club of Washington.
Mrs. Woodward, member of the
Social Security Board and a United
States delegate to the recent UNRRA
Conference in London, gave q
graphic picture of the camps fol
displaced persons in Germany which
she visited after the conference.
She described the limited facili-
ties in each camp where there
were from 5000 to $500 people
Housing was inadequate and food
was limited to 1900 calories per
day. Milk was so scarce, she said,
that only babies and children under
2 years were allowed a cup a day.
In urging full support of UNRRA
to complete the job of peace, Mrs,
Woodward declared, These people
are PROSTATE; it is within our power
to revive that spark of hope that
still remains"

recommendation on passage of the

Constitution granting national rep
resentation to the District.
The league also adopted a resolu-
ton urging consideration of two
amendments to Senator McCarran's
bill authorizing slum clearance and
rehabilitation of slums which would
provide: "a That mandatory housing
be provided for those displaced by
the redevelopment program, and (2)
that restrictive covenants of race
and religion be prohibited on land
acquired by the National Capital
Housing Authority for the purpose
OF building low-priced housing de-
velopments.
