If Mr. Law- son's sensational performances are merely the tactics of a conscienceless raider who without warrsnt of fact or reason assails values and hammers down prices, then It would seem that that the gentlemen who stand before the country as the pillars of the vast Investment structure owe It to their own reputations and to the comfort and security of the inventing public to expose his baseless assertions. If on the other hand the recent range of se curity prices was reached through ma nipulative processes quite unrelated to earning power and actual value, If the market was Indeed a house of cards, then Mr. Law won is performing a pub lic service, even though Incidentally he may be lining his own pockets.
