Discussed by President Fin
ley Of the Southern.
HOPEFUL AS TO FUTURE
Duty Of All is to Look to the Future
Rather Than the Past - Must
Create Constructive
Sentiment.

President W. W. Finley of the South
ern railway company, who has been
looking carefully into commercial and
industrial conditions in the southern
states, was asked by correspondent
in Washington Sunday for a summary
of the result of his inquiries.
While business conditions in the
southern states are not as favorable
as we would like to have them" said
MIR. Finley, Il think the situation in
that section is fully as favorable to an
early revival of prosperity as that in
any other part of the country Through
out the south the banking institutions
are in sound condition, and, although
their managers are generally pursuing
careful and conservative policies, sound
business enterprises are generally able
to obtain all the credit needed. From
most localities come reports that south.
ern farmers are in a prosperous condi-
ton, and have substantial bank ac-
counts.
Largely as result of the purchas-
Ing power of the farmers, retail trade
in most southern communities is fairly
active. In those localities where cotton
mill employees and other industrial
workers are most numerous, there has,
of course, been more or less falling off
in retail business as a result of the
industrial depression. AS in all other
sections, there is tendency on the
part of retail dealers in all lines to buy
very conservatively and reduce their
stocks of goods. This necessarily has
the effect of curtailing the business of
jobbers, who in turn are conservative
in their purchases from manufacturers,
and this in turn tends to accentuate
the industrial depression.
"The question of how soon revi.
val may be expected to begin is one
which no man can answer with GER
tainty, for the reason that some of the
reasons for the continuance of the
bushes depressions are psychological.
This being true, one Of the most i'm
portant results to be brought about is
the creating of a constructive senti-
ment, based on faith in ourselves and
in the future. A few weak spots in
our banking system have been elm
mated; the natural resources of our
country have not been diminished, and
the industry and enterprise of the
American people are as great as be-
fore. Under these circumstances, there
fore, as a result of the prolongation Of
existing conditions, economic compli-
cations arise, it is the duty of each one
of us to look to the future, rather than
to the past, and to continue, to the
best of his ability, to the bringing
about of such sound constructive
sentiment as will substantially aid in
a return to prosperity"
