MAIN LIMITATIONS

SO, while the labor crisis in
coal. steel and automobiles has
merely been postponed, and some
further industrial decline is likely.
the outlook for the long-pull in
this bull market remains good
The main limitations are merely
the plain facts that some stocks
now seem amply to have dis
counted any earnings prospects
they have, and that a good many
undesirable speculative issues are
becoming inflated
Unfortunately. such indication
accompany any well developed
bull market, and exist long before
the peak
Therefore in Niew of the in
crease in the short interest, the
easy money market, the continued
strong demand for new invest
ment issues, and the plenty of
good stocks earning and yielding
5 per cent or better. one might as

VOLUME PICKED TT

First let US consider the looks
Of the reaction as II developed
last Friday II can be said that
trading volume picked up quite
sharply on the sell-off that came
in the last hour. and that the most
active stocks mostly closed lower.
y As il seems TO me, the reaction
was no worse than the that
came Sept. Ia. and which did
little harm.
Nor arc the reasons given for
the reaction very disturbing The
most significant is probably that
the good news re tax reduction
is now out. the Senate committee
having made its recommendation.
Thus this factor may now have
been discounted.
Add 10 this. slight accumula-
tion of bad news" such as the
revolution in Venezuela, the evi-
dcnce Of socialism in Britain. and
rumors of renewed Washington
attacks on speculation, and you
may find enough TO bring some
selling into weakened technical
position.

By John A. PARRIS. IR

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-R)
- Delegates from Nazi-overrun
Europe sized up the United Nations
conference today as falling short
Of their dreams Under oppression,
yet holding still clear the promise
of lasting peace.
Here is how they say they feel
at this stage:
There has been too much uuib.
bling, confusion and insistence on
secondary issues.
There must be developed a spirit
of give and take by both small
and large nations, moved by friend
illness free of suspicion.
AS a Norwegian delegate put 1t:
1--WE realize that only on the
margin of compromise will our jot
here in drafting a formula fo1
worlc peace and security be a sue
cess"
The majority of the European
delegations feel there will be peace
and security only if Britain
America, Russia and France &C
cept and carry out leadership re
sponsibilities.
The League of Nations failed
they contend, because the big
powers shirked their job.
Some of the European delega
tons have expressed privately
some dissatisfaction over VIVA

Premier Kantaro Suzuki was re-

damaged. A Tokyo radio common
tator declared: THE imperial pal

the most part"
Escape Injury
All accounts agreed that Emper.
or Hirohito, the empress and 9TH
ers OF the royal family escaped in
jury.
The broadcasts seemed to agree
also that at least the 'outer palace
within the imperial palace com
pound" and the Omiya detached
palace were destroyed. Omiya is
the palace of the Empress Do
wager, Hirohito's mother.
The imperial palace area. with
its shrines, is the religious, as well
as the political hart of the empire.
Palaces of two princes were prev
lously reported destroyed and a
third damaged in Thursdays raid.
Several of the raiding flyers re-

They also disclosed that for the

which were first encountered at
Okinawa. The bombs were releas-
ed from Japanese planes at the
raiding Superfortresses. At least
three "bakas' were knocked down
by American gunners.
