Golconda is now a ruin, but Wall St, unfortunately, is still very much with us. Brooks' sharp and often witty history of the New York financial centre is thus of far more than merely his- torical interest. With a nice sense of the Brooks begins his dramatic, book with the explosion which shook the heart of Wall St on September 16, 1920, and closes it with Richard Whitney, the Wall St hero, on his way to Sing Sing on : April 11, 1938. Whitney's downfall-he was caught dipping his hand in the on a gargantuan scale to till service debts totalling more than $30 million-marked the end of an era on Wall St.

Even the US. government, devoted to serving the banks and shareholders, was forced to try and curb some of the wilder excesses of the stock market after the 1929 crash.

Crimes Whitney led the resistance to these moves, until his own fantastic crimes were revealed to a delighted world. But all this, in 1920, was in the future. With the end of the First World War, American capitalism found it- self with virtually unchallenged supremacy in the world econ- omy. Europe, devastated by four years of ruthless war, was in ruins, wracked by revolution- ary struggles. Britain, formerly the pre- eminent financial centre world capitalism, was heavily in debt to the United States. The suspension of gold pay- sterling in against ments August 1914, together with the decision to forbid all British investments outside the Empire -both regarded at the time as 'temporary' measures-made it inevitable that in the words of "The Times', 'much of the in- ternational business we have been accustomed to do should pass to fa -the United States'.

'By 1920, Brooks says, 'Wall St had the power to do London's old job, with plenty to spare. The United States had changed from $3 billion international debtor to $3 bil- lion international creditor.

The new-found pre-eminence of US capitalism, and thus of its banking and investment centre, found Wall St occupy-

ing the City of London's old position without any of its traditions and ingrained con- servatism. For many of the Wall • St magnates, their new mastery of the world was an unparal- leled opportunity of exercise their considerable talents for financial trickery. The artificial hair-line be- tween capitalist 'business' and daylight robbery became in- creasingly indistinguishable as the world plunder began to roll in and the Wall Streeters set about dividing the spoils.

The explosion with which the book opens marks off the era of Wall St's supremacy from the preceding period in a suitably dramatic fashion.

A truck-full of explosives in the heart of the financial dis- trict blew up at a time when the threat of revolution was in the forefront of the financiers' minds. The explosion, immediately attributed by the press and the Wall St magnates to a 'Red Plot' (though no evidence for plot was ever dis- such covered) unleashed major lasted witch-hunt which on and off for nine years. Vivid Brooks paints a vivid pic- / ture of the financiers' reaction - like the brigadier-general who told a crowd that the ex- plosion was 'one of the great- ever committed est outrages against society' and announced, to roars of approval that the "should be killed 'plotters' every time they show their heads'. Brooks uses the reaction to the explosion to illuminate the attitude of mind of the Wall St magnates--a financial oli- garchy who consider they have a God-given right to make money at the expense of the working class.

Morgan and Co, the leading financial oper- ator and uncrowned king of Wall St. Morgan's frontage at No. 23 Wall St was scarred by famous 1920 explosion, the and apparently bears the scars to this day. Venom Brooks describes with con- siderable venom the 'arrogant and arbitrary' aristocracy of high finance which flowered through the halcyon days of the 1920s, right up to the Great Crash. He shows how, even at the height of the depression which followed the First World War, millions were out of when work and great mass struggles were taking place all over the world, Wall St, continuing its customary business of making working, without en- money gaged in such 'epic' struggles as the great Stutz Motors bear raid. And how the winner of the fight against the raid-the company's owner, Allen A.

Ryan, was bankrupted by the Stock Exchange Establishment and the banks because he had dared to out-tycoon the ty- coons. Conspicuous wealth, the morality of the gutter and over whelming contempt for the rest of humanity were-and remain—the chief characteris- tics of the Wall St operators.

Their arrogance, like an or- chid on a dunghill, blossomed mightily in the years of the boom before 1929, as Brooks shows very well. Great Crash The climax of his narrative the event which left its per- manent mark on history, is of the Great Crash of course, 1929. In the long boom which led up to this, the entire Wall St financial community found virtually themselves with a licence to print money. the Share prices, even in most dubious enterprises (and not a few of the enterprises were more than dubious reached astronomical heights.

For one glorious summer on Wall St it seemed that the pro- cess of making profits had be- divorced from come entirely the process of production.

Spectacular The collapse, when the bub- ble was pricked, was just as spectacular as the preceding boom, but the big financiers of the Street were not a whit the worse off. The crash of 1929 triggered off the slump of the 1930s—a period of prolonged misery for the working class of the en- tire capitalist world, with un- employment of more than ten millions in the United States alone. But Brooks' book makes it very clear that while the work- ing class—-and the middle class who were foolish enough to invest in the valueless shares promoted during the boom- were ruined, the profit was all Wall St's. The patrician bankers, the J. P. Morgans and the Jacob Schiffs (head of Kuhn, Loeb and Co.), not to mention the market operators like Joseph Kennedy, eked out the depres- sion on their meagre millions and found their power greatly increased by it.

Nevertheless, the successive Congressional reports Senate investigations into the during those Stock Market years provide Mr Brooks with some fascinating copy. There was the case, for example of Albert H. Wiggin, the boss of the second largest commercial bank, the Chase National.

Named as the 'most popular banker in Wall St' in 1928, Wiggin embarked on some fairly odd practices (even by Wall St standards) at the height of the boom. Foreseeing that the inflated market could not last, he be- gan speculating in the stock of his own bank and, by July 1929, held a short position in than 42,000 shares of more Chase National stock. 'He was then,' Brooks says, 'in the curious position of hav- ing a vested interest, and a huge one, in the deterioration of the company he headed.

Just as corporate officers are usually encouraged to own stock so that they will have incentive to put out added their best efforts, so Wiggin, with his short position Chase stock, had provided him- self with incentive to produce worst efforts. This his was legal: the audacity of his ac- tion was such that the question of forfending it by law had apparently never come up' Bonus And Wiggin-—like National City bank head Charles Mitchell, who sold worthless Peruvian bonds door-to-door and voted himself an incentive bonus of more than one mil as ion dollars-was only, Brooks points out, one of the most prominent offenders'.

The capitalist bandits, of course, fought tooth and nail against any attempt to limit their rights to make profits by every means at their disposal.

Tenacity Wall St fought back against Roosevelt with considerable tenacity. The chief represen- tative of the financiers in their struggle with the government was J. P. Morgan broker Richard Whitney, described by Brooks as the 'white knight'.

Also, as the social tensions so television must grow, re- flect them, even negatively. Its job is to supply the lie and the beer and circuses. But none of that is so easy these days. This is not the 1930s when the film moguls grew fat on romantic melo- drama. The world working class has more of the seen and heard truth than it yet knows. Very we experience often something, think we under- stand it, but don't in fact grasp meaning. Later, by its full months, years or even decades, and in a different situation, it suddenly becomes luminously clear-and concrete.
