AMERICA BETTER OFF
Than OTHER NATIONS
SECRETARY REDFIELD TALKS
ABOUT THE PERIOD or TRADE
DEPRESSION


New Haven, Conn, Jan. 24--An op-
timistic view of business was the
keynote of speech Secretary Red
field made today before the chamber
Of commerce. He pra1sed American
manufacturers for their ready read
justment to new conditions, and de-
clared that the wave Of foreign man
ufaoture, which It was predicted would
flood the American market with the
passage Of the new tariff, had not
materialized.
aye, but you say, look at the de-
preston. Well, look at it," said Mr.
Redfield. Look at it sanely. without
passion and without prejudice. What
do you see? But before you answer
let me ask a second question; where
are you looking? Get the horizon big
enough, else your picture will be but
partial and may mislead. Where, then,
is trade depression found? In India,
in Argentina, in Brazil, in Germany, in
England. Where is it least? In Am
erica. Where is the rising tide from
such depression as exists first and
foremost? Here in America. Forget
the pitiful parallels Of the prophets
OF evil who for political purposes
preach national pain. Look calmly at
the truth. America suffers froln no
disaster. She is better off when the
worst is said than her sister nations =
