Stocks and Business

The doctors seem wholly disagreed
on the causes of the violent sinking
spell suffered the other day by the
superSensitive stock market. Some
have attributed it to uncertainty
over the labor outlook, others to the
ban against buying on margin,
others to excessive selling by foreign
investors, others to a mysterious
economic process known as self
correction by an overbullish situa-
ton, and still others to reckless talk
about the imminence of another
war.
Indeed, the patients case has been
diagnosed in so many different ways
including the omnibus diagnosis
made up of a combination of all the
factors cited by the doctors individ-
ually-that the average citizen, un-
schooled in the exotic and some
times neuresthenic behavior of the
market, can hardly be blamed if his
head whirls little or if he tends to
agree with the British view that the
whole business probably can be as
cribed to the "mercurial American
temperament"
Moreover, whatever may have
caused the sinking spell, the average
citizen has good reason to 90 along
with financial circles in London in
rejecting the alarmist idea that we
may now be in for a serious business
depression. AS far as American
peacetime employment and produc-
ton are concerned, the outlook for
the next five years at least-barring
world explosion, which no sane
nation Wants-is perhaps brighter
than it has ever been in our history.
More than 100000 of us-a new
record-have jobs; the rate of our
output of consumer goods is at an
all-time high; our backlog of de-
mand is without precedent, and our
purchasing power is tremendous. In
short, our entire economic structure,
lar from facing near-future recess
sion OF dangerous proportions. OBJ
viously seems geared for period of
great prosperity, irrespective of its
duration.
or course, as key channel through
which private enterprise is financed.
the stock market must be reckoned
with as one of our economic indices.
But the state of its health-up or
down, bullish or bearish-is by no
means an invariably reliable mirror
OF overall business conditions or ex-
pectations. Certainly, in this in
stance (and the patient, be it noted.
Is feeling much better today, it has
not been that. Without being COM
placent, therefore, the average citi-
zen can afford to be reasonably calm,
thanking his stars, perhaps, for
being himself immune to the get
rich-quick allure of Wall Street.

nomic considerations which are being
brought to the fore by the representa-
tives Of the Slav bloc.
The Russians are concerned princi-
pally with the domination of the East
ern Mediterranean. which is the pivotal
point of Britain's lifeline to the Middle
East and the Pacific. The unchallenged
control over the Adriatic and Greece
would put the U. s. S. r. astride those
lines OF communication. 1t is for this
reason that Soviet Ukraine is now at
tempting to prove that war devastated
and impoverished Greece has become a
menace to world peace.
For some time Moscow hoped that the
plebiscite held to decide on the return
OF King George might favor the mon
arch by such small margin that he
would not be able to resume his throne.
In such an event, Moscow hoped that a
republican government would be infil-
trated with Communists who eventually
would assume the leadership of the
country. This frame of mind led Molo-
tov last spring to give strong support
TO the Greek claims for the Italian
Islands in the Aegean Sea.
X
The kremlin was then convinced that
Communist-domi government in
Athens would soon become as willing a
tool In the hands of Russia as the rest
OF the satellites in the Balkans. Thus
Russia would establish herself as the
dominating power in the Eastern Med
1terranean. Other questions. such as
the control of the Dardanelles and a
naval and air base on one of the
Italian colonies in North Africa. would
pe solved to Russia's satisfaction some
time later.
The result of the Greek plebiscite and
the decision of the British government
to delay the withdrawal of it's troops
from Greece seem to have upset Rus
sia's earlier calculations.
Ioday Moscow feels that her plans in
the Eastern Mediterranean are by vav
OF nelng frustrated, and the Russian
leaders are unaccustomed to losing dip
lomatic battles.
Inc governments of the western
powers feel certain that the Kremlin
mas been making final decisions on how
to deal with the new situation and that
Molotov has received new set of in
structions. The continued presence of
the U. S. S. R. at the conference tables
IN Paris and New York, it is felt. will
depend entirely on the acceptance or
reJectlon OF Russias diplomatic five
year plan"

Picking the Best Man
By Jay g. HAYDEN

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Sept. 6.
When New York Republicans in con-
Ventlon here resolved their one contest
by nominating Irving Mcneil Ives for
United States Senator they performed
the act-distinctly rare in practical
politics-of picking the man best quail
fled Tor that particular job.
during l6 years in which he has
served in the State Legislature-l4 of
them as Speaker or Republican leader
Ives has fathered most of the outstand-
ing measures advanced by his party.
and his genius for debate and attractive
personality chiefly put them through.
His greatest accomplishments, perhaps.
are the State school of industrial and
labor relations at Cornell University,
which he conceived, carried through the
Legislature, and at present heads; he
also directed the investigation which
produced the law, bearing his name,
which forbids discrimination in en-
ployment because OF race, creed or
national origin.
year ago the latter statute was
counted as Governor Dewey's greatest
liability, but in q year of actual opera
ton 1t has worked so effectively and
with SO little friction that 1t is now
generally acknowledged to be one of the
Governors strongest vote-getting as

just past SO, Mr.. Ives entered World
War I as a doughboy and wound up q
real fighting service as lieutenant.
After 10 years employment in New York
banks he entered the insurance business
in the small city of Norwich, and soon
after was elected to the Legislature, in
cidentally establishing course In IN

Reich Red Zone Elections

The first Of series of municipal
elections in the Russian occupied
zone of the former Third Reich has
been held, and the results make
interesting reading, especially when
considered in the larger framework
OF political trends in the other
occupied zones and the respective
policies of the occupying powers.
This initial election took place In
the former Kingdom of Saxony, not
to be confused with the former
Prussian province bearing the same
name, which is also under Russian
occupation, but where elections are
not to be held until next Sunday
September g. The balance of the
Russian zone will vote on Septem-
Der IS.
While technically these elections
concern only local Offices with cor
respondingly limited authority, they
afford an opportunity for the ex-
preston Of public opinion which has
been seized upon by political groups
much as though they were parlia-
mentary in character. Throughout
the Russian occupied zone the
Soviet authorities have been using
every form of pressure to insure the
triumph of the so-called Socialist
Unity party-the result of a forced
amalgamation between the Social
Democrats and the Communists.
Recalcitrant Social Democrats have
been imprisoned or have ominously
disappeared" in contrast with the
American zone, where the Social
Democratic party has kept it's iden-
tity and has made vigorous show
ing. The large numbers of blank
ballots cast in the Saxon elections
are interpreted as cast by Social
Democrats forbidden to put up can
didates of their own.
Other parties were permitted to
function, however, the most impor-
tant being the Liberal Democrats
and the Christian Democrats, to-
gether with minor groups such as
the Peasants party and the Women's
Committee. Apparently the balloting
was technically free. though in the
preceding electoral campaign the
Social Unity party was favored in
r every way.
Under those circumstances, the
electoral results have a special sig
nificance. Despite Soviet favoritism,
the Social Unity party cast only
about Sc per cent of the total vote,

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thomson

Back OF every secondary issue is al
ways primary question. The pri-
mary question at the Peace Conference
Is whether Europe, geographically a
peninsula OF Asia and containing 45O
million people In high state of tech
nological and industrial DEVELOPMENT
shall come under the domination and
within the military and economic
sphere OF single great continental
power, namely. Soviet Russia: or.
whether it shall be divided between
Russia and Anglo-American interests;
or, whether Europe shall be set on its
leet IN some modern political struc-
ture. and thus be able to maintain some
equilibrium between east and west.
On the answer to this question hangs
war or peace and our own future Sc
curity and prosperity.
So tar, however, the measures taken
have been answering in favor of propo-
sition one, although the basic aim of
the war was to negate that proposition.

BY permitting Russias Polish satel-
lite to annex by default-for the from

Sterilization Showdown

The AFL seamens strike is
clearcut challenge of the Govern
ment's ability and determination
to enforce its stabilization program.
There is but one issue at stake in
the strike. Two AFL unions-the
Sailors Union of the Pacific and
the Seamens International Union
had won wage increases of $22. so
and $27.5O a month over the pre-
vailing monthly scale of $145. These
increases were obtained through
collective bargaining and the en-
ployer groups have urged that the
higher scales be allowed to stand.
But the Wage Sterilization Board
decreed that the increases would
have to be cut back to a point at
which the AFL Seamen would not
receive more pay than the $162. so
won by CIO seamen last June.
This resulted in the Walkout by
the AFL seamen, who are supported
by their CIO colleagues in the obvi-
GUS hope of securing higher wages
for themselves. 1t is avowedly
strike against the Government. a
strike to compel the WSB to aban-
don its original decision and per-
nit the full wage increases to
stand. AS one union spokesman
put it, these raises were not given
to us on silver platters-we've had
to fight hard to force the operators
into giving them. We don't intend
letting any Government board take
them away from us, and I believe
that by this time the WSB knows
that we mean business"
In the face of the strike, strike
which threatens a national disaster
and from the scope of which not
even troop supply and relief ships
are exempted, the WSB and the
Labor Department are wavering and
looking for way out. A board offer
+, to reopen" the case has been
spurned by the strikers and the
question now is whether the Gov
ernment agency will back down
entirely and acknowledge defeat.
This would be the expedient
course, and it may be that it isethe
only way to get the ships back into
operation. But if this is done, If
the Government bows to the de-
mand of these unions, it can hardly.
continue to 60 forward with the
pretenSe of stabilizing wages. And
If wages cannot be stabilized, prices
cannot be fixed 1t would be pos
sible, of course, for the Government,
in dealing with less powerful groups,
to continue some kind of control.
But for the Government to continue
to regulate one section of the econ
omy while acknowledging its in
ability or unwillingness to regulate
another would be little short of an
act Of self-stultification

the Liberal Democrats and Chris
tian Democrats each polling a trifle
better than 20 per cent, with the
fractional balance divided between
the minor groups. Popular interest
in the elections was shown by the
high percentage of voting, approx
mately 81 per cent of the qualified
voters going to the polls.
The relatively poor showing made
by the Social Unity party comes as
distinct surprise Advance fore
casts of the outcome had given the
party as much as 80 per cent of the
vote. The logical Interpretation is
the existence Of strong popular op-
position to Soviet occupation pol
icies; strong enough to venture such
heavy protest votes in face of Soviet
discrimination and possible reprisals
at the outcome.
