Evjue- Continued from page 1) export by Russia to Japan of moie than 200,000 tons of refined oil. It is commonly reported that officia1 Russian recognition of ManchukHR will follow shortly. Evidently a war between Russia and Japan Is not as near as we had feared. Nations that are preparing to go to war with one another do not, orai-narily, pieface their operations in the field by tightening the commercial bonds that hold them together'. An American business man who recently returned from a trip to France reports that French wholesale wine prices have advanced by at least 15 per cent because the French, confident that the coming election wil mean the end of prohibition, are preparing for a big export trade to the United States.

Preparations are even being made, he said, for whole shiploads of wine to be sent to the United States Immediately after election day. If he reports things correctly, it is plaip that the French wine sellers are in for a sharp disappointment. For, regardless of the outcome of the fall alection, the 18th amendment remain on the books for quite a time yet. Even if a unanimously wet Congress and administration should te named, the dry law rouldnt be repealed overnight. Those wine exporters seem to be counting their chickens a long time ahead of the hatching season.

William Hodson, executive director of the Welfare Council of New Yoik, warns that the coming winter Is going to put public and private chanty to its supreme test. Admitting that the wost of the depression seems to be past- he remarks that improvement with increasing employment will be a slow, gradual process," ard states bluntly: The outlook for relief this inter is that more people will be in n-'ed than ever before and much larger sums must be spent to care for the destitute than have yet been pro-ided.

emerges from the haze of cold economics and becomes something painfully real. Every Issue needs a personality to make it more intelligible, and Insul now personifies the power trust In the public mind. He and his methods appropriately called Insullism are something that the layman can understand. Insullism promises to color the presidential campaigns of Roosevelt and Hoover on an increasing scale. It is almost certain to be the subject of a senate investigation In December.

It Is certain to stimulate legislation for federal regulation of public utilities. To congress, it has given a subject for debate equal to the Teapot Dome scandal. a ROOSEVELT SEIZES ON AS ISSUE Political observers believe the f-action against Insullism will help Franklin D. Roosevelt and hurt Herbert Hoover. Roosevelt has made an aggressive issue of the pow er trust, advocating more effective federal control of the Industry.

Though Hoover has recommended the same thing four times in four years, his views are not as emphatically fixed in the public mind. The essential difference is that Roosevelt is for publicly owned plants, whereas Hoover is not. Quick to seize the opporutmty, Roosevelt attacked Insull monstrosity in his Portland speech. He flayed such tactics bitterly. The Insull collapse has given senate Progressives probably the most Important single break they have ever had In their long campaign to make the power trust a popular and understandable issue.

Chief among these Progressives is Sen. George Norris of Nebraska, who has fought for years against the tactics that finally brought ruin tl Insull and disaster to his investors. Norris, campaigning for Roosevelt, is expected to team into Insullism anew. In a senate speech this year, Norris cited a report by the Federal Trade Commission to show that the power industry was heavily overcapitalized. In certain big companies to which he called attention, Norris said the stock had been watered to the extent of $520,000 000.

That means, Norris said, that with the investigation only partly completed, the Federal Trade Commission has disclosed write-ups (that means water) of $520,000,000 on which the poor people, the common people, must pay a profit at all times. Usually, local rate-fixing commissions allaw rates that will provide a return of 5 to 8 per cent on the company's investment. To support $520 of increased valuation at 6 per cent, the public would pay more than $30,000,000 yearl yin rates hign-er than they might be. 'Upon groups of operating companies are erected holding companies whose financial operations are iar more complete and intricate. Recapitalization through these holding companies provides additional opportunity for the promoters to profit.

Insull had scores of such companies. Sometimes his holding companies, each controlling the one below it, were stacked five deep. 1 With successive concentrations of voting stock a small part of the total) control ascended peak-wise through these holding companies. Thus, if the insiders had a comparatively small investment in the topmost company, they could control everything below it. CONTROL VESTED IN ONE TER CENT HOLDING To sum it up: When Insults Middle West Utilities Co.

was a organization, it was estimated that $20,000,000 invested in the top holding company would control the whole far-flung empire that stretched from Maine to Texas. That represented control by an amount equal to less than 1 per cent of tne total! i But Instills amazing financial system went even further. It was possible for him to control the whole Insull empire without a cent of his own money invested. (This was possifcle, but it was not the situation: Insull did invest his own money.) The explanation of this lies in the fact that, to short-circuit stockholder control, Insull often used a voting trust arrangement by which stock-holderws trusted to him the voting right of their shares. Such an arrangement at the topmost rung would have made it possible for Insull to control the whole structure without a penny invested.

These holding companies had another purpose. They were vehicles for originating and selling additional securities to the public. Thus they enabled Insull to raise money for his constant expansion. Each holding company marketed its stock, its bonds, its debentures on the basis of the earnings of the company below it. Capping the great financial pyramid were Insulls two super-holding companies, the $250,000,000 Utility Investment Co.

and the $150,000,000 Corporation Securities, both of which have now collapsed. When bankruptcy auditors dug into these they found each company had invested millions in the stock of the other, control was snarled and intertwined In a series of manipulations that probably represented the most amazing financial Juggling in history. This was the house of cards that Samuel Insull built up for himseir and by which he was destroyed when it collapsed the greatest business failure in the world's history. (THE END) wi tions of the broadcast. Abe Lyman and his orchestra playing from New York will be featured on the Lucky Strike Hour Thursday night at 9 o'clock.
