The worst thing that can happen to a boy is to be barred from the right to work and struggle and make his own way.—American Magazine, j Investment Trust Gathers Billions! Depression and Panic Fail to De feat Giant Financial Concern Started After War. Hew York, Feb. 10.—A financial irowball. started In England a; th close of the American Civil war. has gathered up six billions of capita! during its 6G-year roll. Panics and depressions have wrought changes in the appearance of the giant—the investment trust —but even the plunge from the prr ciplce in the autumn of 1929 diet not shatter the idea hat is the nu cleus of the movement. This in ; brief, is tire pooling of small inves tors’ resources so as to give the po> son of moderate means tire advan tage of the large capitalist through extensive diversification and distri bution of risk. Just now the oldest and most numerous trusts—those of the man agement type—are counting the costs of the great deflation and suf fering from a public disfavor which uoliowed their Tosses ih asset value The shrinkage, however, annual re ports for 1939 show, varied great./ chiefly because of differences in se curities held and the skill of man agements in anticipating market trends. Enough earnings and condition statements have been published to indicate that the average asset loss suffered by the larger management trusts was slightly less than 25 per cent, whereas the decline diirng 1930 to the 90 common stocks used in the Standard Statistics com pany's index was 28.5 per cent. Par1 of the difference is accounted for by the fact that the trusts added i bonds and preferred stocks to tlvir | portfolios. t The most notable change in t ie investment trust field has been the | growth of the fixed trusts. Whereas the management of the other type (lias the right to buy and sell is- •* rees it, the sponsors of the fixed i trust are strictly limited in the r activity. 1 he investment portfoli i is coufirred to a eompaiatively sm^I numbs? of security, raostir protr.* pent csjnxpsn stoflc*. aad th« Ua; eapast bs chapter *»«»t tpseifje ccxdittsat *.*<**/ tr. the tar.
