The article quotes a 1946 view that stock loans amount to about one percent of the eight year credit increase. The speaker argues the federal reserve has no duty to fix stock prices, only to curb excessive credit. Cash purchases could still push prices high even with full credit elimination. Regulation can curb credit use but cannot prevent all speculative excesses.

Opponents Edge In Senate Tax Cut Plan Proposed
The plan would primarily affect earners under 5000 yearly and repeal two 1954 tax features: lower dividend taxes and faster depreciation. It would extend current excise and corporate rates to July 1 1967. Sen Humphrey warned depreciation alone could cost nearly 1 billion in 1956 and two decades ahead, while Treasury argued the cuts would be only a few cents weekly for some, maintaining government confidence.
