VIEWS OF YALE MEN.
Professors GiUe Their Opinions on
Financial Troubles.

New Haven, Nov. Especially Professors Will
fam G. Sumner Irving Fisher and Henry Crosby
Emery who hold chairs of economics at Yale. be-
lieve that the present financial crisis will neither
be extended in duration nor widely destructive to
industry.
DO you think that the protective tariff other
causes might be responsible for this dsturbance?'
Professor Sumner was asked.
NO. There is reason why rapid growth and
unlne prosperity should make calamity" he re-
piled "The people are at unrest because they can
not feel that their investments safe from attack
by the administration. AS for the probable eco
nomic results think that the most important will
be some definite step toward greater elasticity in
the currency and possibly an improved bank sys-
tenn and bank issues. Possibly President Roose-
welt may say something about this in his annual
message
Il don't think that the disturbance will have any
wide reaching result industry and commerce.
OF course, the country feels it somewhat. but am
inclined to think that the boarding currency IS
spread of fashion rather than necessity outside
of New York City and vicinity. OF course. there
is little likelihood that industries will be start
ed While the present condition Of affairs continues,
but cannot see any reason just now, in the pres
ent condition OF affairs why present Industries
should cease why any really serious economic
disturbance should follow the crisis.
L think that the actions of President Roosevelt
are largely responsible for the present difficulties
His continued warning against corporate interests
ii''' uIiSettIel PUBIC commence. The people are
tlmld. the public mind is at unrest, investors are
cautious The people fear lest these industries
controlled by corporations may be the subject of
federal attack"
4 believe that financial men are inclined to take
narrow or local view Of the situation" said Pro-
fessor Fisher. They inclined to believe be-
cause the Knickerbocker Trust Company and nor
maps some others go 10 tho wall as result Of ap-
parent overspecuation. that this is the Immediate
cause of the difficulty They fail to realize that
overspeculation is stimulated tremendously by a
rapld rise In prices. Others say that the attacks
or Roosevelt and Hughes spread alarm but this I
think, Is exaggerated. The actual cause IL seems
to me- is failure of the OF interest to follow
tho rise in the level of other prices; or in other
words failure OF the rate of interest to follow
the loss In the purchasing power of money"
Professor Emery said: I'VE have in a way too
much gold. We have what Bryan wanted I'm 1896
an expanded currency. but didn't get il by
legislation. We simply found it. With the greatly
Increased supply OF gold the level of prices has
risen, and the interest rates have not kept tho
pace. Overspeculation has caused heavy loads for
investment purposes. and now that the borrowers
cannot continue their loans at the same rate of
interest. because there is inevitable readjust-
ment, there Is stringency."

that he believed the was over he did not care

by telling anecdotes
How do the people in New York feel?" he was
asked.
Did you ever hear about that fellow over In New
York who said lie broke and wanted money
enough for ferry ticket to get the river?'
he replied. well, the fellow he wanted to touch
stopped and asked. Haven't you a cent? Not a
red, replied the man that broke; and what
is worse, l haven't any prospects Well If you're
broke" and without prospects. exclaimed tho
other. what difference does 1t make which side OF
the river you're on?' "
Mr.. Morton then went II believe that every
day brings us nearer good times The worst
Of the trouble seems to be over"
How soon do you expect good times to come?
How soon will the money squeeze be over?" Mr..
Morton asked
You remember the story OF the old farmer who
praying fervently for rain?" replied Mr.. Nor
ton In the midst OF his prayer OF his friends
interrupted him and asked. DO you think your
prayers will do any good? DO you really believe It
will rain after you get through?

went with his prayer
