Secretary Lamont Says Stock Break Won’t Harm Business
Washington reports Lamont, after a Hoover call, cited lack of broad business reaction to the market slump as evidence the economy has passed the point where a sharp NY stock drop would damage overall activity. He noted consumption stays up and carloadings near 1928 levels, but construction remains weak due to lack of second mortgage funding. He warned full building revival will await public works and planning, slow to start despite federal and state stimulus.
