However, business took the sports
editor Of a Cincinnati newspaper to
Boston and after getting one look al the
wonderful muscular development OF

suitable opponent for the Boston man.
He had promised him only 500 for the
bout. which, in those days. was con-
sldered sufficient remuneration for any

GOOD they were, and not for wealth,

The period for the annual automobile

There is no question that the i'm

amount to be raised nationally, the
quota Of the Southeastern Department

NOTED FINANCIAL EXPERT
PREDICTS BUSINESS BOOM
America Need Not Fear wholesale
Upsets In Labor and Trade.
~ Declares John w. Moody Of
New York

New York Nov. 30. "Talk OF iadus-
trial depression as a result of peace
Is utterly unfounded. The idea thst
cessation of war work and return Of
soldiers will flood the market with
labor and result in panic conditions
Is foolish"
This summarizes the views of John
Moody, president Of Moody's Invest
ors' Service and editor of Moody's
Manual Of Railroads and Corporation
Securities.
Il was in London when tho war
broke in 1914" he said. Everybody
then was saying that the outbreak
OF war would mean depression and
panic in the United States. predic'
ed then that after short period Of
readjustment, there would be a great
boom in business In the United States.
That is exactly what happened. Our
balance Of trade grew 70 enormous
proportions, gold began to flow to the
United States and we absorbed an
enormous quantity of U. S. securities
that had been held abroad and which
were returned to us in part payment
for goods needed abroad.
Change VIII Be Gradual
Gradually. we will pass from a
war to peace basis. We will begin
filing the demands from devastated
Europe. Our ships will gradually be
withdrawn from war use, II will take
perhaps year to get our men home :
and turned to foreign trade. The men
in our armies will be demobill2ed
gradually.
There will be floated, perhaps, tw.
more Liberty Loans-smaller IN
amount but large in the aggregated
fnance the operations OF bringing our
men back and readjusting CONNER
cial relations.
1--WE do not need to fear any whole
sale upset. I believe that there will
be some sore of international control
either through the new league Of
nations or some agency of it--by
which international trade relation
will be controlled
"This war has been war to ono
