Anniversary of the 1929 Panic
Monday was the 20th anniversary of the worse peace
time disaster to strike this country the 1929 stock mar
ket crash, which pricked the bubble of inflation and wiped
out f.55 billion in paper values on the New York stock ex
change. Stocks had been built up to absurd valuations through
nation-wide stock gambling on margins borrowed money.
The panic started when 6000 shares of Montgomery Ward
changed handR at 83 against a year's high of 156. Other
stocks also hit the toboggan all along the line. The selling
conflagration spread like wildfire across the nation and
kept the ticker far behind so far that it took four hours
and eight minutes after the market closed before the final
sale of the day was recorded.
There were three principal causes. First, stock prices
had been allowed to soar out of all sane relation to their
actual value. The credit for buying them had become tre
mendously over-extended. Second, the heavy selling of
American securities when the Bank of England felt the
financial pinch following the failure of Clarence Hatry in
England, and third, the frolicing of the bulls and bears in
pools and rigged sales with "wanton disregard of the public
interest."
There are many differences of opinion as to what pro
longed the ensuing depression to record lengths, mostly
political. There had always been a comparatively quick
recovery from our many other depressions, but none of
them had ever tried the New Deal remedies which effected
no cure until World War II brought recovery, and it was the
long depression which caused the craze for security and
stability even if it meant regimentation and loss of free
dom. Another such financial calamity as that of 1929 is im
probable. Banks are policed and deposits insured, mar
kets are watched by the SEC, credit by the Federal Reserve
bank, investors nowadays are wary, excessive profits
heavily taxed, and Wall Street on good behavior.
Why Dr. Nourse Resigned
The resignation of Dr. Edwin G. Nourse from the presi
dent's Council of Economic Advisers, of which he is chair
man, is evidently because the council was expected to make
a set of facta fit a political policy or a preconceived eco
nomic theory instead of the neutral concept found in the
law creating the council. Differences in conclusions be
tween members of the council have been minimized, instead
of supporting one set of conclusions, so as not to arouse
partisan criticism of proposals.
Mr. Truman, apparently like his predecessor, the late
FDR, wants his advisers to tell him how to carry out the
pledges he has made in his campaign to activate his social
economic theories. He does not want to be given a num
ber of reasons why the economy will react adversely in
Btead of beneficially.
In other words, the presidential advisers are not to furn
ish honest opinions but to find basis to support any policy
determined upon before the advice was asked, and then
expand this advocacy before congress and elsewhere.
An Impartial and unpliant economist is not wanted as
an adviser, for a conflict between the economist and the
politicians is inevitable. What the executive wants is a
group of yes men to secure a scientific window dressing
for the administration. And there are plenty of such to
replace Nourse.
i Dr. Nourse first offered his resignation last December,
after the election, probably realizing that he would be ex
pected to try and find a sound economic base for carrying
out the Truman campaign promises. Being both non-political
and non-partisan, Dr. Nourse was not interested in
sacrificing his honest professional opinions and made ac
ceptance of his resignation mandatory when opportunity
offered.
City's Thanks to the Eagles
- Salem now has an iron lung on ready call for any needy
polio victim. To the local nerie of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, go the thanks of the city and area for spearhead
ing the drive that made the iron lung and portable respira
tor possible.
' The drive is a tribute, too, to local initiative, which sup
posedly does not exist any more, according to the federal
government. When the Eagles first put out the call for
donations for the equipment to help polio victims, the re
sponse was immediate. At the time, the Capital Journal
commented on this excellent instance of a group of people
in the community taking the initiative on its own to meet
a need that was so obvious.
; Donations came from all kinds of sources individuals,
organizations, and groups of people. For instance, a few
women working in one of the local canneries pooled some
of their earnings to help the drive. Proceeds from a box
ing card will add to the sum.
' The city is fortunate now to have this iron lung handy
at all times. And the fund-raising campaign, sparked by
the Eagles, is indicative of what local people can still do.
