U. N. Expected to Bar Red Chino Again

A quick assembly decision to keep
Red China out of the United Ma
tions for at least another year is
foreseen here on the eve of the
U. N. General Assembly.
The United States is confident
it has enough votes to bar the Chi
nese Communist regime as unfit for
membership because of its record.
Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit of
India, the U. MS first woman pres
ident, bangs her gavel Tuesday to
open the ninth Assembly. Even be-
fore new president is elected to
succeed Nine. Pandlt another pro-
poSal to seat the China Reds and
oust the Nationalist China delega-
ton is looked for.
Soviet, Asian and Scandinavian
countries want to seat the Reds.
But British leaders. aware of strong
expressions of public opinion in the
United States, have agreed that
now is not the time to press for it.
British support is expected to help
tip the scales for the U. S. view
point.
The Chinese question, active here
since 1850, is one of several clouded
by the cold war on the 67-item
work program of the Assembly.
The deadlock on disarmament; H
bomb tests by the United States
in the Marshall Islands: President
Eisenhower proposal for a peace
full atomic pool; East-West trade
enlargement-all are part of the
general world situation to be de-
bated in the seven committees of
the Assembly during its 10-week
session.
The Korean armistice of 1853 and
future unification of that country
offer another debate topic. The
Indo-China truce which cut Wet
Nam in half faces thorough dis
cuSSion.
The veto-free Assembly cannot
order any country to obey a. u. N.
order. But u. N. supporters consider
the weight of opinion in it's debates
to be helpful in solving world prob
lens.
Every General Assembly produces
some new proposal for furthering
peace. Besides debating the disarma-
ment commission. deadlock on re-
ducing ornaments by stages and
ultimately banning superbombs, the
ninth Assembly probably will hear
references to the new Southeast Asia
pact, the now dead EDO, and Mos

ton on the shelf, the Assembly will
turn to the election of q president
and committee chairmen.
Supporters of the Netherlands
Eelco van Kleffens say that under
a long-standing gentlemen's agree
ment, it is the turn of a European
country to have the Assembly presi-
dency this year. But Prince Wan
Waithayakon of Thailand. defeated
last year by Mrs. Pandit. is running
again this year with United States
support on the plea that an Asian
should be in the chair to handle so
many of the Asian problems in the
Assembly
With the Latin American bloc
split over the race, it likely will be
a nip-and-tuck affair.
Old cries of colonialism and some
new ones were being warmed over.
In addition to Arab-Asian demands
for more self government in Tunisia
and Morocco, Britain and the Meth
erlands are involved.
Greece has asked the U. N. to help
her persuade Britain to allow resi-
dents Of Cyprus to vote whether
they want to continue under Brit
ish rule, unite with Greece or be-
come free. The British, fearful OF
the fate of military bases on Cyprus.
oppose U. N. debate, claiming their
rule in Cyprus is domestic ques-
ton.
Indonesia has asked the u. N. to
help her get Western New Guinea

free of Netherlands control.

By Robert T. Patterson

The great bull market that had
begun Quietly as normal develop
ment of the country's growing pros
perity had gradually turned into
huge speculative bubble. The belief
in that bubble and it's limitless ex-
pansion pervaded the Nation. Some
eminent economists, at the very top
of the BOOM. freely predicted far
higher prices. It was a phenomenon
of mass psychology. a contagion Of
speculative madness.
Bought on Margin
In 1929 almost everyone 1t
seemed. owned stocks: teachers and
priests, mattresses and hatcheck
girls, BARRIERS, cab drivers, bellhops
-as well as others of greater finan-
cial substance. And many of them
held their shares on margin. They
had put up 10 or 20 per cent and
borrowed the rest from their brok-
ers. When the decline set in, and
they could find no more cash, their
brokers had to sell them out.
Excessive speculation was not the
only cause of the panic. There were
other causes, deep rooted and world
wide. But without it prices would
not have scared so high and crashed
SO far.
We are In another great bull
market, perhaps the early stages of
it. No one can say for certain how
far it will 60 or when it will end
tomorrow or years from now. The
stock market has risen q long way
from the depths of 1942 when the
Dow-Jones Industrial Average was
a shade below SO. During the past
II months that average has risen
from 255 to over 355, and is now
close to that figure.
Borqoins Of the '40s
From a statistical point Of view
stocks were bargains during most
of the 1940s. Their prices were low
in relation to corporate earnings and
dividends.
The marked rise In stock prices

year and must be supplied entirely
by air. Operating under these handi-
caps requires accurate and timely
supply action, careful scheduling of
transportation and maintenance of
high supply levels. Unplanned- for
operations, items omitted from req-
uiSitionS, procurement delays and
missed shipments are all magnified
into problems of major Importance.
One unique situation is the fact
that the area is wholly within the
territorial boundaries of friendly
countries. Unlike military units in
many parts of Europe and the Far
East, the command has never had
the status of conQdering or oc-
cupation force.
Is II Worth While?
The question Is often asked as to
whether 1t is worth while to develop
the area. A close study Of polar
projection map gives the answer.
The area being developed lies on
the most direct sea and air routes
between the main base area in the
United States and Western Europe;
1t contains that portion of the
Western Hemisphere which lies
closest to the heartland of Europe;
and it lies on air routes which
prospective enemy might utilize to
greatest advantage in striking this
country and Canada. But, of no
lesser consideration is the fact that
it is an unexcelled vantage point
from which to study air mass move
ments and forecast the weather af-
fecting military operations in the
North Atlantic and Western Europe.

Stock Market Healthy Is Years After Crash

during the past year has, however,
outpaced the rise in both earnings
and dividends. The average yield
on stocks has fallen from approx
mately 51a to ~ per cent. Today
the investor who buys them pays
about Is per cent more than he did
year ago for the same amount of
income. He may still be getting a
bargain, especially if earnings and
dividends increase further But the
longer-run trends of business and of
stock prices can only be guessed
hopefully or pessimistically, as one
is inclined
There are important similarities
and differences in the world econ
omy of the late 1920s and the econ
omy today. All have some bearing
upon the domestic business situation
and thereby upon the level of stock
prices. b.
One Difference
In the stock market itself, how
ever, one very important difference
is to be noted. Those who own stocks
today are not out on a limb as so
many were in 1929. Most stock
holders own their shares outright,
and the comparatively few who buy
on margin must put up at least so
per cent in cash. Todays market
is not vulnerable to the kind of
forced liquidation that swept stock
prices down in the autumn of 1929.
There is, also, much less of the
gambling element in todays market.
Few touts and tipsters bull" in
f1ated values on the major stock
exchanges to the guileless. The days
Of pool manipulations are over. The
general public, in fact, Is not in
the market, talking stock prices by
day and dreaming Of them at night.
When that occurs we should beware.
Perhaps it's too obvious to say
that from their present level stocks
can go very much higher, and that
it's equally possible that they can
go very much lower. Yet it's easy
to forget that the market is a two
way affair. Changing conditions
here and abroad will be the de-
terminants of its trend. and the
future is bound to hold many sur
prises.
The market may fronls time to
time be vulnerable for many differ
ent reasons, but it is not now subject
to the blind over-confidence and the
excessive speculation that made the
decline of 1929 the worst stock
market panic In our history.
Evening star., 1954-09-19

twenty-five years have passed
since the panic of 1929. It began
quietly enough early in September,
but soon developed into the most
violent and extensive debacle that
the American securities markets had
ever experienced. It brought to an
end the great bull market of the
1920s and ushered in a long and
tragic depression.
BY September most stock prices
had reached their highest point, and
for two weeks they moved irregu-
larly. AS the volume of selling in
creased. however, prices were marked
down, the decline accelerating until
it reached climax on October 4.
The market rallied briskly for a few
days and then hesitated. The ex-
tensive break which began in mid
october confirmed the downward
trend.
Three Bad Days
There were three days of extreme
panic: October "a, 28 and 20. A
further break In prices eliminated
in a downsweep on November 13
that carried stocks to their low for
the year.
On the morning of Thursday, Oc-
tober "a, an avalanche of selling
forced prices of leading stocks down
80. so, even 60 or more points. On
the 28th and goth, wave after wave
of urgent liquidation swept away
values. At times there were no buy
ers for well known stocks.
In two months 40 per cent Of the
value of all stocks had been Topped
away, and many important issues
had declined to less than half of
their peak prices. Although Novem-
ber 13 marked the end Of the most
dramatic phase Of the panic the low
prices on that day were only a
temporary bottom. The substantial
recovery that began the next day
continued until the middle of De-
cember, and stock prices did not
break through their panic lows until
the following year. From there they
worked on downward to an un-
belieyably low level in the early
surfmer of 1882.
The panic was not cold, imper-
sonal episode OF changing figures on
ticker tape and in newspaper col
umns. Nor was it merely the sepa-
ration of few Wall Street million
aires from some of their millions.
It was stark tragedy for many hun
dreds of thousands Of investors,

nisia 20 years ago. And fittingly,
it was his privilege to put the
initial "okay" on French Premier
Pierre Mendes- Frances recently
announced plan for the granting
of complete internal autonomy to
Tunisia. He was brought from
exile on a Mediterranean island to
Paris for the occasion.
Although Mr.. Bourguiba is still

near Paris-he has decided not to
embarass the French by insisting
on his immediate release. It is only
a matter of time now until he is
set free. When he is, he may well
become Premier of his country's
first permanent government. Mean
while, this intense, sincerely dedi-
Gated patriot is overseeing, through
visiting nationalist officials, the
activities of the present provisional
Tunisian government that has been
set up to negotiate for autonomy
with the French. Indeed, a veto
by him would doom the talks.
But in dealing with Mr.. Bour-
guiba and his followers, the French
will find them to be of many moods.
They f1irted with the Axis during the
war and have played "footsie" with
the Communists on occasion. They
have often turned to, or condoned.

this has usually been a last resort

the then mildly nationalist DeStour

demonstration against the French.

Liberty, today, is as much IN
