Mr • tdahntie Obenchain. with the
found.
Slow but steady improvement in the business situation i-
taking place month by month.
Fear of a financial collapse has entirely vanished and
has given way to a feeling of quiet confidence that our in-
dustries. taken as a whole, are gradually bettering their posi-
tion. The existing credit strain is gradually relaxing.
....In reviewing the pa^t eighteen months, it is now strik-
ingly apparent that a vast amount of constructive and co-oper-
ative effort between banks and industrial concerns ha * been
accomplished, which has resulted in averting countless failures
and in saving enterprises which possessed merit but w hi. i
were prostrated for the time being by an unprecedented wotl
condition.
Each day sees some situation in the industrial fabri
mended and thereby the foundation for better business latei
on is being continually broadened and strengthened. Rusi
ness, although small in amount and in many lines on a sub-
normal profit basis, is gaining in health.
It is true that deflation is far from its end and that w,
can not expect free and active business until the values of thi
various commodities are nearer a parity.
There are some indications, perhaps seasonal, that retai
trade is losing its edge and the predicted heavy fall business
is quite problematical.
The foreign situation which directly affects our do-
mestic exports, is most unsatisfactory, as evidenced by ou
still dwindling exports.
The encouraging factor in this connection is the generally
favorable prospect throughout the world, and the report tha
food rationing is practically at an end- which was a neces-
sary forerunner to a demand from abroad for our raw ma
terials and manufacturers.
Many people are still talking about the ">0c dollar a
though it existed today. The great majority do not yet real
ize how much prices have declined.
For the past year the consumer has felt he was no
only helping himself, but the public as a whole, by cutting dowi
his purchases to a minimum.
We have had a buyers' strike. The only way to breaV
this strike is to instill into the minds of the public that nricc
of many things are now down toapoint where it is to theii
advantage to buy.
In retail prices numerous articles are now selling verj
low. The average cost of living in the United States, as shown
by the department of labor, is 18 per cent less than at thi-
time last year.
The item of foodstuffs in this budget has dropped 3
per cent; clothing has dropped 34 per cent. Rent is still
high and fuel has not declined appreciably.
The point we want to emphasize is that the cost of liv-
ing and prices in general are now getting tlown to levels which
are conducive to more buying.
O
Our idea of luck is to have congress unable to return
from its vacation beca'.'fi of railroad rates.
O
If Mr. Fordnev, ar the Columbia state alleges, put the
"if" in the tariff, it is now .in to the senate to knock the tar
out of it.

Most Americans are less concerned about the problems
of the east than they are about the problems of the yeast.

Secret diplomacy may b a bad thing, but if the dip-

Judging from what George Bernard Shaw says about
America, he must hate us. But why worn ? He doesn't
like himself any too well.

THE AMERICAN CREED
I believe in the United States
of America as a government of the
people, hv the people, for the peo-
ple. for the people, whose powers
are derived from the consent of
the governed: a democracy in a
republic, a sovereign Nation of
many sovereign States: a perfect
I'nion, one and inseparable, es-
tablished upon those principles of
freedom, equality. Justice and hu-
manity for which American pat-
riots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it: to sup-
port its Constitution: to obey its
laws; to respect its flag and to
defend it against alt enemies.
