...directors who would refuse to assume the liabilities imposed by that law. Though some $300,000,000 of new brewing, distilling, investment trust, mining and a few industrial issues have been registered with the Federal Trade Commission, no old-line company, up to last fortnight, had stepped into the stagnant market for long-term capital. First to do so was Mathieson Alkali Works (industrial chemicals and the world's largest maker of chlorine), which quietly filed a registration statement in Washington for $7,000,000 of new common stock to finance a new plant in Louisiana.

German industry today is described by Berlin economists as "stagnant." It needs the life blood of fresh capital. German capitalists, whose deposits abroad run into billions, are unlikely to bring much of this money home while they do not know from one day to the next whether a man's capital is really schaffendes and good or likely...
