Hitler's representa- tives in lnstabul offered the Tan a substantial bribe if it would drop the anti-German cam- paign it had been ltrcssitig in recent weeks. In a recent edition the newspaper charged that Franz von Papen, German Ambassador to Tur- key, promised the Rumanian Ambassador, Vasile Stoica that Germany would supply Ru- mania with materials and munitions tiecessary to construct a “Siegfried Line" on the Soviet frontier. The German news agency denied this charge and accused 'l‘an of seeking to weaken the German-Soviet accord.

When the war started ln Septem- ber and tlie stock market advanced, sensatlonally on big volume of transactions it was nattiraly as- sumed ttiat, at least for the dura- tion of the war, speculative activity would contmue on a broad scile. But October, the second month of the war, was a great disappoint-l rnent. It. was the dullest October since 1934 and with that. excep- tion the clulleit tn l3 years. That either the regulations imposed by the New Deal or reluctance on the. part of the public to venture capi- tal in securities. or a combina- tion of both, have greaty redizced. speculative activity seems very apparent. For not only was OcLJber a very dull month despite the stimulus of the war, but the vol- 111110 of transactions on the Neivl York Stock Etxchange for the 10}

l

months ended on Oct. 31 were the smallest for any similar period in I3 years. There l; of course not much doubt. that the regulations on trading imposed by the New Deal have cut» down speculative activity. ‘Phey were designed to do this because the people of this country had come to believe that‘ excessive speculation and conse-
