Brokers are relieved from revealing profits or losses and margins on trades under 1,000 shares while still naming all customers involved. Accountings must be done only by accountants approved by brokerages. The committee aims to avoid harming private individuals but seeks to identify any public officials trading in the market. No legislation is planned, though discussion of exchange supervision and short selling may follow.

Canadian senator urges peace talks limited to war participants
In Ottawa Senator Pope urged in the Canadian senate that only nations engaged in the present war should negotiate peace. He argued Canada’s sacrifice and future influence merit a voice, noting America’s insight and Canada’s potential role after the war. Pope praised President Wilson as courageous and spoke of a future favored by trade and debt-adjusted bonds between allied nations. The pope in Rome likewise commended Wilson’s speech as bold and truthful. A closing joke hints at a shift from romance to responsibility.
