Capital Issues Committee to Stay
"Contrary to the general Impression,"
announced a certain broker yesterday,
"the capltat Issues committee will not
go out of existence on Jnnuary 1."
"It will, simply remain Inactive," he
said. "If, however. It Is found later on
that tho 8alo of new securities Interfere
with tho Government financing. It will
immediately como to llfo again." The
menace of a flood of nonessential
security Issues Is tho principal reason
for this action on tho pnrt of the com
mittee, it Is said. Before suspending
action tho committee Issued warnings
to the public on the necessity for rigid
economy and a vigilant lookout against
worthless securities. Secretary of tho
Treasury Glasi also emphasized these
warnings. It Is said the committee In
tends making a special report to Con
gress recommending a law to preent
Impositions on the Investing public
through irresponsible promoters, and a
request Is to be made for Its Immediate
enactment. In accepting the action of
the copimltteo to suspend for tho time
being, Secretary of tho Treasury Glass
said:
"My chief misgiving In accepting
the action of the commltteo arises out
of tho need tho commltteo lias fre
quently expressed and tho Importance
of which hai become Increasingly ob
vious of protecting the public Investor
against tho flood of worthless or
doubtful securities which threaten the
market when tho restrictions are re
moved, nnd present conditions cm
phaslze the Importance of obtaining
emergency legislation as speedily ns
posslblo bo as to be able to cope ef
fectively with this evil.
"The Government not only should
protect Itself ns to future bond Issues,
but as well owes a duty to tho mil
lions of Liberty Bond buyers to re
strain reckless, fraudulent promoters,
particularly at this time.
"I Intend to ask Congress Immediately
for legislation that will check the traffic
In worthlets securities while Imposing no
undue restrictions upon tho financing
of legltlmato business nnd shall urge
that It bo made effective before the close
of tho present session. Meanwhile, It
may bcomo neccessary before such
legislation Is passed to reassemble tne
committee for tho purpose cf resum'ng
Its functions."
Awakening South American Trade
A downtown banker speaking yester
day of tho great Interest which lias re
cently been awakened In South Ameri
can business', especially Blnco the slgn-
ne of tho armistice, remarked mat ir
tho United States Is to reap tho full
benefit of Us position In relation to
South American markets wo must en
large our consular Bervlce not only In
South American countries, but In other
countries as well. Wo aro bujldlng, ho
said, more snips man any ouier country
n tho world at the present lime, xno
shipping board has promised, ho re
marked, 25,000,000 tons Insldo two
years. It Is so long slnco ships flying
tho Stars and Str pes havo been seen
In forolgn portb that our consuls In
many of these ports are not aware It
Is their duty to clear these snips ana
look after the Interests of their owners
nnd the crews. Our consuls in foreign
countries, he continued, havb given ex
cellent service In the form of valuable
Information as to tho needs of the coun
tries as a. whole, wherever they nro
located, and also as to the needs of
Individual merchants In their Immediate
localities, and, ho remarked, "I often
wonder If our manufacturers and ex
porters take full udvantngo of these
reports as published dally by the Gov
ernment covering virtually tho whole
world.
"No one can complain," he said, "of
tho vigorous mannor In which the pro.
gresslve banking Institutions of this and
other cities havo taken hold of thin
pioneering for foreign bualncss from a
financial standpoint. Their advertise
ments show that they Iiaxo blazed the
way to this forolgn trade, having
reached out to almost every city of oven
small Importance, so that no exporter
can have tho excuso that ho Is ham
pered tn any way through lack ot bank
ing facilities
"I look forward," ho said, "as soon
as mutters get settled In Russia to Bee
tho United States rank as the great
exporting nation to theso two countries,
which noed everything wo can manu

was firm, although only a mddcrnto do
greo of activity was shown, except In
certain Issues which havo been promin
ent In tho public cyo for tho last fort
night. New York traction Issues were
soft with considerable amounts pressing
for snle, oven nt tho lower levels estab
lished, following tho continued decline
of tho Inst three weeks.
Unless some relief mensuro Is ndc.pled
shortly tho outlook for tho traction com
panies of that city Is unfavorable. I'rac
tlcally nil tho securities of theso corpora
dons nro selling on r receivership basis
and considerable uneasiness Is enter
tained by somo present holders. Careful
Btudentn cf thn situation nro Inclined
to think that somo radical steps will be
taken shortly to overcome tho present
difficulties, although their character
could not be ascertained yesterday, Inti
mations hao been inado that, In the
event of the city officials continuing the
Btnnd which they havo taken of not
permitting fare Increases, somo action
may bo taken to effect a realignment
of capitalization and the placing of these
organizations on a basis which will per
mit operation at a possible profit or nt
least without tho present largo monthly
losses being recorded
Liberty Bonds wero heavy with a
considerable turnover, and the argument
advanced that many largo holders are
registering losses In connection with

Because of its dependable performance
throughout four years of war service
Its low consumption of fuel in countries
where gasoline had to be rigidly conserved
Its sturdy construction which required little
attention to keep going at times and in places
where drivers were inexperienced and field
mechanics were scarce
The White is the most widely used l122
ton truck in army service here and overseas.
It has been adopted as the standard U.S. Army
truck of this capacity.
Now Produced for Industry
As the urgency of government demands has
decreased, we are now in a position to resume
commercial delivery of the lVb 2-ton model.
Shipments can be made to all industries.
