The further fact. that up to tho pres
ent time there has been no married. re-
cession In business, has reinforced the
opinion Of those who believe that the
country has grown so strong financially
that the general business situation can
be divorced from the conditions thai
are reflected in Wall Street prices and
who hope, therefore, that the accidents
of the stock market for the last three
months can be largely, II not wholly,
isolated from the general business out

This hopeful opinion Is strengthened,
for instance, by the situation of affairs

uestion that Is desirable to consider

question that Is desirable to consider
Is only in relation to the extent Of
this recession. Will 1t be but dip,
lasting only few months, giving US
but time to catch our breath before We
march on to renewed accomplishments
In this most wonderful development OF
prosperity; or is there to be more
protracted and serious disturbances?
The Answer. s
I believe the answer to that lies
wholly in the public mind and temper.
There Is no inherent reason in the con-
ditions Of agriculture, trade, industry
and finance in the United States that
would make necessary period of fur
Their disturbance and depression. There
are a thousand influences that should
lead toward continued prosperity and
renewed accomplishment throughout
the fields of industry and commerce.
The business of tho country will turn
into 'one Of these roads, solely as the
result of whether or not the public
and the puhlic's legislative representa-
tives, are wise and patient or are hasty
and inconsiderate.
If the intricate problem OF railway
regulation Is worked out in. a spirit Of
fairness and Intelligence, If the vast
ness of tho problem is recognized. II
the involved relationships encountered
are are taken into account and the far
reaching effects OF pnternal regulations
when applied to so great and compli-
Gated a network are reckoned WITH.
and II an Intelligent understanding OF
the complications will lead to patient
attitude toward results then I believe
we Will resume the road toward fur
Their prosperity. The moment that in.
vestors have become convinced that
the problem is to have fair and patient
consideration in its solution. we will
start on that road again with full
measured pace.
But If we are to have Legislation
based upon political advantage. II we
are to adopt ssocialistic theories which;
will amount to the confiscation Of
property rights. If we are to have re-.
prisal for past. wrongs no, matter how
real, If action is the one thing wanted
first, and the consideration of the in-5
teligence and fairness Of such action
Is to come afterward, then I believe
1t is possible that the whole business
structure may be facing a danger. the
proportion of which will be measuretli
by the same vast figures as have been
the totals that have marked the ex-s
tent Of our prosperity. III
