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

NEUTRALITY RULES
TOO INDEFINITE ON
EXPORTS IS VIEW
WASHINGTON. Nov. 37. (AP
With the administration consider
ing a quota system to limit exports
of raw materials to warring nations,
several members of congress ex
pressed belief today that "more defi- j
nlte" neutrality legislation should '
be enaoted.
New legislation would be required ,
to carry tvt the proposal for quotas,
which wojIo. permit belligerent coun
tries to buy oiMy a "normal" amount
of raw matcrli Is suitable for war
uses, Thf-ie will be no opportunity
to pass suri 'eglslatlon until con
gress reconvenes in January.
Tills country's present embargo
against shipments to Italy and
Ethiopia covers only a specific list
of arms and Implements of war.
"I think It would be better to
have neutrality legislation more defi
nite." said Senator Murray (D..
Mont.) of the foreign relations com
mittee. "It would save embarrnss
ment to shape our pollry before
war Instead of afterwariia."
He was undecided whether he
would favor the quota proposal,
aeelng a possibility that It might
put the United States In a hostile
position.
Senator Frazier (R.. N. D.) dis
approved what he called "half-way"
methods.
