A Panic Defined

why, gentlemen, upon what does
business subsist? Do you know
what a panic is? | mean panic in
the money market. 1t is merely
state of mind. Today, let us say,
there is confidence. Tomorrow there
is panic. Is there any less wealth
is today? Is there any less money
to borrow than there was today?
what has changed? Nothing excepe
the state of mind of the persons in
VOWED. Today they were willing to
lend money, and tomorrow they are
not willing to lend it, they call in
their notes, they went renew notes,
they get their hands on every bit Of
cash they can lay them on, and the
difference is that they have lost con-
fidence in the process of business for
the time being. That is panic.
Now that illustrates the whole stu
alton in business with regard to pub
lie opinion, Unless business is sus-
tanned by the confidence of the pub
lie that it is just, that it is founde
upon the common necessity, that it
rests upon fair dealing, that there il
a fair competition, that everybody
has an equal show, you know what is
going to happen. There is going to
be universal restlessness, suspicion,
envy, malice, a gathering force of
passion which sooner Or later viii
tear at the very roots of the whole
structure and destroy it.
What is justice in politics and in
the field of business! 1t is the re-
storing of confidence by laying open
all the things that you have to deal
with. Here are the remedies We
propose in order to reproduce conf
dence. That is the object of every
bill that | am interested in. | wan1

On Reciprocity

Do you know the real reason why
reciprocity was voted down in Can
ada? Have any of you visited Canada
recently? The present contrast be-
tween Canada and the United States
is this, that in the United States
business is feverish and fretful and
distrusted, but in Canada, absolutely
buoyant with coincidence and hope.
The contrast is extraordinary, and
the Canadians fear that reciprocity
would be the opening wedge to a very
much closer commercial and indus
trial relationship with the United
States, and they felt that their stu
alton in regard to these matters was
vastly superior to ours, and they
did not want to be pulled into our
distress.
The truth is that Canada is Just
about a generation ahead of us in the
regulation of corporate business, in
her banking system, and in the cur
rency system Canada has not had
any financial crisis. And Canada. if
we must admit the truth, feels her
economic superiority to the United
States, because, fcrsooth. she did
some time ago as matter of course
the things now called radical in the
United States which are making busi-
ness men uneasy.

On Reforms

Gentlemen, you say that all this
reform that is in the air is disturb
ing business. Is it going to disturb
business to get back on constitu-
tional and honest basis? Is it going
to hurt business to restore conf
dence? The basis of business and
prosperity is confidence. If you de-
press the working classes, make them
hopeless and resentful and give them
the feeling that they are not getting
their just due, do you suppose that
they are going to be the producing
class they were? Do you suppose
that wealth is going to be produced
as it would be if they felt they were
partners in the thing, Justly treated,
honorably dealt with, generously
paid? If business is supposed to be
controlled by little groups of men,
then there will be an inevitable uni
versal suspicion and distrust, and so
long as suspicion and distrust exist
you cannot have prosperity.
