SOLID AS A ROCK

One OF the most reassuring facts OF
the present crisis is the evidence OF
business stability shown by the stock
market. After momentary furry
on the New York exchange, the mar
ket steadied. and prices started up.
There has since been steady and
impressive rise in all standard Ameri-
can securities.
Along with this rising market there
has been revealed an uIshaken CON
fidence and cheerfuness on the part
Of fnanciers Nobody is worrying
about American credit, any. more
than about American industry.
And why should anybody worry?
Our big manufacturing industries are
running at record capacity, with or
ders booked far ahead The domestic
demand alone seems enough to keep
them busy. And If war comes, our
governments purchases added to
those of the belligerent powers will
make the foreign demand greater
than ever War instead of paralyz-
ing business, would be a powerful
stimulus.
As for our finncial situation, it is al
most incredibly sound. AS one OF the
country's leading experts says, No
country was ever before in such a
good financial shape to enter into a
long campaign" We have lent ST.
00O,0O0,0c0 to foreign counties, but
we have plenty left. According to the
latest report Of the comptroller of the
currency, our banks have $1,0lG.CCJ,
900 in excess reserves. which provide
the basis for $6Gs9,00O,0GG of new
credits.
Thus our banks have actually IN
creased their resources to the extent
Of $C,090,C0O,OOc. The increase alone
Ia more than the combined resources
Of the Bank Of England and the Bank
Of France and twice as great as the
resources of the Bank of Germany
We could doubtless raise, If neces
sary. $2O,0C0,Oc0At9 without serious
difiiculty
Our total economic resources arc
virtually equal to those of all the AL
lies together. And since the economic
factor OF war has become more impor
tant than the military factor reali
xation OF this fact ought to be as dis
luleting to any potential enemy o
the United States as it is reassurinl
to us.
