for political reasons, the United States should not
see great commercial prosperity during the continue
ance of the European war This, however, 10 a
time when the utmost latitude should be allowed
by the government to all legitimate business in
teress. Upon that coupled with wise action toward
the establishment Of mercantile marine and sde-
quate banking facilities, think the question de-
ponds entirely. ! think this is the greatest chance
for the American manufacturer and businessman
that will probably in several lifetimes and
think the business man Of the United States can be
safely trusted to take advantage Of il il not ham,
pered too much by unreasonable government re-

General conditions in America do not warrant the
slump in business which is being felt all the
country. The uneasiness created by the sudden
