Show GERMAN VIEW Of OUR STOCK f LURRY Political Conditions, Indad-ing Indad-ing Agitation for Government Govern-ment Control, Is Not Responsible Re-sponsible Says Director. NEW YOBK, April 2. Hans Schuster, Schus-ter, a director of the Dreadener bank, one of the largest in Germany, and the representative of that institution in the negotiations which resulted in the formation last year of a. close working alliance between that bank and J. P. Morgan & Co., in an interview published today expresses the opinion that political po-litical conditions, including the agitation agita-tion for eloser Government control of the railroads, really have had nothing to do with the decline in prices which has taken place in recent months in the New York stock market. Expansion in commerce and industry, beyond the ability of capital to finance it, has been the fundamental cause of the disturbed condition of our market, according to Schuster. He made it clear, speaking for foreign investors, that they have no dread, such as has been expressed in some quarters here, of closer' Government control of the railroads, or even of Government ownership, owner-ship, though he admits distrust has been created abroad by the manner in which the agitation for closer Government control con-trol has been carried on in this country. |
