Congressman Burton Says They Were SD
perfcial Thinking and Hasty Judgments.

Washington April lin addressing the House
TODAY Mr.. Burton. Of Ohio practically traced the
present business depression Ito Superficial thinking
and hasty judgments The real sources Of the
present as well as Of all other seasons Of indus
trial or commercial depression he declared were
TO be found in the distinctive features OF a pro-
sressive civilization ike that Of the United States
u here operations largely have TO DO with calcuia-
lions upon future requirements and where the
greatest profits are realized from successful an
ticipstion Of prospective conditions.
Generally speaking he said. there were three re
lated causes Of ,epression-public and private
agance. lack Of harmony between different
branches Of production. that a surplus Of di-
verse classes Of commodities exists which cannot
readily be exchanged for others, and the absorp-
tion Of the capital OF a country anticipation OF
enlarged demands IN the future, and the hope for
greater rewards in providing for form
Of convenience or luxury. Such uses Of capital"
he said may be Illustrated by cases Ike that OF
the Hoosac Tunnel the subWays under New York
City and the rivers adjacent thereto. the Panama
Canal. or. IN general. in the change Of circulat
ing to fixed capital ny the construction Of exten-
sive factories. buildings, railways or other public
works of any kind
The loss Of discarded implements and facilities by
reason of invention and the adoption of improved
appliances ne attributed another factor In
sequence he said. many profitable Investments are
lost because newer and more perfect methods sup
ply the demands which heretofore had been sup
Piled in another way. IN other country he
declared has II been the custom much in
