Roger Ward Babson is a famed statis tician, predicter of the 1929 stock market crash, who has lately turned bullish. Resembling greatly a goateed New England preacher, he is a shrewd, pragmatic religionist, a devout member of the Congre gational & Christian Churches. He is chairman of its Commission on Church Attendance. Last week, in the September Federal Council Bulletin, he presented statistics gleaned thus far in a five-year survey on church going. Chief points: ¶In 1930 and 1931, some 33% of the total membership of 903 Congregational & Christian churches went to church every Sunday...

With the Young Committee he discussed a plan for setting up a Commodities Credit Corp. with $100,000.000 capital, largely...

S. securities; 3) the I. C. C. merger decision; 4) expansion of credit. Certain industries had special reasons to advance. The oils showed improved earnings (see col. 2). Higher commodity prices, if maintained, would help the food and mail order companies. Big loans to railroads would mean orders for the equipment companies. But for the most part the rally was predicated upon hopes. Big Hope...
