ING TO SECRETARY

COUNTRY SLOWS DOWN
BUT IT NEVER STOPS
Federal Official Declares Nothing is
the Matter With a Crouch Except
An Absentee Heart and
Missing Nerve-War's
Over Wonder.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Heartened by
months of close study of the business
outlook of the nation Secretary Red
field of the Commerce Department
wrote a New Years greeting to the
merchants and manufacturers of the
country, bidding them in characteristic
language to each out for the pros
perity he sees within their grasp.
There is no warrant, Mr.. Redfeld
declares, for gloom or despair. The i'll
effects of the European warfare IN
American enterprise are passing and
new vistas Off commercial ventures
are opening with each new day. His
message follows:
To Bring Prosperity Now.
IF you want prosperity do your own
share to bring it and do it now. Get
that addition to your shop going; it
will cost you less today than six
months hence. Is trade a bit dull in
the works? Get those improvements
begun. Prices are low and likely to
rise. You've been thinking of that
contract work, better start it yourself
before things get the start of you.
This country slows down a bit now
and then, but ii never stops growing
and it always moves up and not down.
We don't know what ii means in most
of the United States to have real gen
eral distress. Think of Belgium and
Poland, o, man with a crouch, and
stink into your hole and pull 1t in
after you. There think of your sins
and your blessings and come out with
your courage in working order.

examples of pluck. Do you remem.

citizens who showed pluck when
things went hard?

not here-men are slaughtered yonder,
they are living here. All clouds there.
all clear day here. Get out and sell
some goods. Plant some more acres,
do more work than you planned. Talk
cheerful talk and you'll find this coun.
try OF ours a pretty good place after
ALL"
To support the secretary's hopeful
views are the figures gathered by his
department as to American foreign
commerce since the outbreak of the
great war. Since August, when the
monthly trade balance of the nation
showed a deficit of imports over ex.
ports, the situation has been complete.
