HOW CLEWS
VIEWS THE
MARKETS
Special Correspondence }


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Henry Clews
in his current letter says.
The outlook or the market Is some
what confused by numerous cross cur
rents As shown above. the agricul-
tural and industrial interests Of the
country are sure Of season Of great
prosperity. which will be reflected in
all the distributive branches of trade.
The chief offsets are government
regulation OF industry and trade and
the diversion of capital from new in
dustriAl developments TO war pur-
poses. Some inconvenience may be felt
by the withdrawal Of labor for army
purposes: but this on the other hand
viii be offset by various economies.
by curtailing the production Of IN
necessaries and by the introduction OF
labor-saving devices. As for govern
ment regulation Of business. that
should now be a factor OF diminished
uncertainty The limitations and
methods Of such regulation are already
known They are left largely at the
discretion Of the President. He may
or may not exercise these powers.
Thus far. the Administration has
shown a disposition TO use these pow
ers wisely and in moderation. and to
prevent excessive and unfair profits.
rather than to prevent fairly liberal
returns. which are often justified by
the necessities and unusual risks
created by war. Midsummer quiet
prevails at present. but before very
long activity should be upon the as
cending scale.
Very few industrials are actually
selling on the basis Of war profits
United States Steel. for instance. sell
ing only upon the basis of dividends
actually paid. Hence government re
straint upon profits may not prove
quite as harmful as sometimes feared
1t is well also to remember that dras-
tic reduction OF profits by tn egovern-
ment would lessen the taxes from ex-
cess profits Also that there are ir
Washington today a large number Of
our ablest business men serving the
country periodically and without
profit 10 themselves Their presence
in Washington should be reassuring
since they will bring the government
in close touch with big business. thus
avoiding Misunderstanding and facili-
tating mutual aid and fair play.
