Sisson, widely known N'ew York economist mid hanker. . "The small investor is, to n lnriie extent, the victim of his owii imagination," says Mr. Sisson in an analysis of the marltfft decline published in the current issue of the Review of Reviews. "To suppose that the selling Wave of the past few weeks Was due to adverse developments of correspoiiditiK importance in the Keneral business situation' would lie a fundamental er ror," he adds, eslimaliiifr that "even in the absence of a pro nounced increase in recent wciks, the ijencral level of industrial operations npiieiirs to lie approximately equal to, or )nss'''l' slij,'ht)y above, thai of a year iij;o." . ' " ' , ' ..' TRA(;i.'(f the plicnomenal rise in slock values which reached its peak soon before lire crash, Air. Sisson observes that a part of it was justified by the real progress of the nation 'u business. "Hut this 'normal iovenrent; was immensely exasper ated by the changed character of the investing public," he adds -Millions of; persons who had never before considered such speculation Were aUracled to Hie market by the fact that they had. surplus incomes for the first time, he says, tind security dealers established branches throughout the country to profit by this now imirket. '.'Thus (lie public that has lo n considerably extent deter mined thp course of the market in the last few years is a public uninformed as to intelligent 'procedure: in buying securilies." his Review of Review article continues. "The small investor's attitude towavd the market seems !o bhve. been based on the view lhat there was no limit to the pro cess 'of increasing corporate carniuji's,veinveslinjr the profits, and thus still further increasing earnings. Hut the counlry's business concerns obviously cannot go on indefinitely fulfilling the demands of public imaginiitiour . , "When the realization filially came lhat priifs of many se curilv.'s were out of all proportion to any prospective' earning power, the reaction was similarly exaggerated. Not only did I he fear of Iuks impel a rush of liipiidalion, but the disorder was increased by the fact that innumerable small speculators, mliible to supplement their impaired' margins were precipilalcd into the market as sellers against their wills." ' This new investing class, or a large proportion of it, will continue to figure in ihe market in the future, however, Mr. Sisson believes.' lie adds that "there is a likelihood of improve ment will) the gradual education of the investing public in busi ness conditions and in' market, behavior." In his opinion the inarkcl is coming back. ' , THE FORTY-NINTH AI'ACT not appreciated by one American iii leu is that the federal government .still controls an rtcii of 2!)(i,873 square miles in public lands, comprising an undefined "forty-ninth stale" as large as Texas and a half dozen small eastern slates combined. Hut this "forty-ninth slate" will occupy public at tMi'titnl sooit for it is President Hoover's policy lo transfer con trol of the vast area from the federal government to the sepa rate stales in which tjie hinds are located. ' Secretary of the Interior Wilbur explains the 1'rcsident's purpose. ' "The plain and alarming fact is that, owing to many factors including division of authority between state and federal gov ernments, the 20 years since the public land rppovt under Roose velt lias shown deterioration of these lands," he says. "Ther. is more likelihood that real eoilccrvatioh and protection will result from local control and local management." " ' ALTlIOKlill most of these public domains, located in eleven far western states- are composed of the mountain ranges and desert lands, it docs not follow Unit they aVe waste lands: on the contrary, they are of increasing importance, says Secre tary 'Wilbur.' ' s The agricultural and grazing lands of the valleys depend almost entirely on the mouuliiin watersheds for their waicr supply, he points out, while mining, grazing and foresting oper ations oli the mountains have already threatened to destroy this supply in some sections. State control of such lands would en able each state to achieve a balance between its agricultural and mining and foresting interests which would solve the prob lem, hp believes.' . Also, so long ns the lauds remain under federal control, says S'oerctavy Wilbur, the slates will lake no steps to develop them its public parks and reservations. "Recreation has become of outstanding significance in the life of the naliou,"lie says. "The mounlains, forest ami desert and the great open places are necessary for recreation. Hut rccreiilion must 1I based on Ihe ural conditions prevailing in these regions. "' ' '' MUTT AND JEFF WrVl rT ...
