Title: Fed Chief Warns Anew on Foreclosures

Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, added fresh warnings on Friday about a gathering wave of home foreclosures bearing down on American communities, while pledging new regulations to limit the impact and crack down on predatory mortgage lending.

The chairman’s words before the annual meeting of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition were perhaps most notable for what they left unsaid: At a time of grave concern about a recession that many economists believe has already begun, Mr. Bernanke offered no clues as to whether another cut in interest rates is in the offing when Fed governors convene on Tuesday.

Nor did Mr. Bernanke touch on intensifying fears about the global credit shortage spawned by the unraveling of American mortgage markets. The severity of that crisis was brought home with stunning clarity by the morning’s news that Bear Stearns, the venerable Wall Street investment bank, was leaning on emergency financing from JPMorgan Chase and the New York Federal Reserve.

That news triggered a fierce sell off on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrial average was down about 170 points shortly before 1 p.m.

Even before the ***public distress call*** from Bear Stearns, markets had already assumed the Fed would drop the federal funds rate by at least half a point and probably three-fourths of a point at next week’s meeting.

Japanese translation:政府に対する援助要請 (政府に向けた救助信号)

Explanation:
The public distress call from Bear Stearns は流動性問題に直面したこの証券会社が公的資金の導入により救済された経緯を比喩的に表現しているのだと思います。Bear Stearnsがpublicに向けてdistress call（救助信号、非難信号）を出してpublicに助けてもらったというように考えられます。Publicに当たるのは直接的にはFederal government/Fedで間接的には米国市民の税金、政府は市民のためにあるということになっていますので、「政府に向けた救助信号（非難信号）」または「政府に対する援助要請」のような訳でよいと思います。
