Ml UVJ MEPFORDSS EilEBFBl . , yVvs I U. S. NATIONAL OF BWPd PORTLAND TO RUN P Ha BANK AS BRANCH L By PAIL MALLON. (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. Nov. 37. It may now appear that the boom ballyhoo from Washington Is on. Official statements lately have exuded a fragrance which may seem to be faintly similar to the sweet-scented hand -outs of 1929. First. Chair m&n Lend is of SEC said publicly there was noth ing he could do about stock prices going up and up. Then Governor Bccles of TOB stepped out with an announcement whtch was headlined In New York: "Eccles holds hands off In stock boom." The new monthly FRB bulletin announced, a few days later, there was strength In the existing market situation. The A. P. of L. tagged along simultan eously with a prophecy of "an Indus trial boom within the next few years," which apparently left It a few years behind. The only depressing note In all this encouragement wu the warning of President Gay of the stock exchange. At the time of the Land Is statement, he went on record as bemoaning the possibilities of a stock market boom. If you will add all these things up. as most people are doing, you will most assuredly get the wrong answer. The other side of these boom balloons may not be visible to the naked eye, but there la another side. It ts discernible most clearly In the facts behind the Bccles state ment. His remarks may have been subject to the Interpretation that the federal reserve board has decided to keep Its hands off. But he neglected to point out clearly that the board, at least Is having Its hands mani cured In porparatlon. For instance, everyone but bankers may have forgotten Viat the federal reserve board has never Issued regu lation "U." This would be the regu lation setting forth margin loan re quirements for banks. Regulation "T" imposes restrictions on brokers, so they can lend no more than 55 per cent on most stocks. But a soft-heart ed banker can lend as much as his heart will let him. Bank loans on securities are - not sufficiently heavy to warrant appre hension, but there are good reasons for suspecting that regulation "U" will be isued anyway before long. When this regulation Is Issued, the board can procede thereafter at any time to stiffen margin requirements on both banks and brokers. Also It (Continued on Page Six) DAIRYMAN FILES SUIT F0R$21,863 DAMAGES PORTLAND. Ore.. Nov. 27. (APV Walter H.
