THE SITUATION AHEAD

There is little pessimism displayed
anywhere Notwithstanding certain To-
cal elements where labor appears to
be somewhat demoralized. The situa-
ton in Europe is somewhat clouded
by military operations, the outcome of
which are yet uncertain.
There are, however, two very en-
couraging factors in home business
affairs; the outlook for a big cotton
crop and also large wheat crop,
both of which at this period promise
to be record breakers. These are two
of the most important crops raised
in the United States, and their prom
Use of abundance is as encouraging
to our Allies as to themselves In
other respects the crop situation is

are realized they will tend to check
high prices and profteering; for while
the Food Administration has accomp
Iished wonders in the latter direction,
the law of supply and demand cannot
be ignored, and the task of reguEat-
ing prices will be much easier under
abundance than under scarcity. En-.
all industries pertaining to the war
there is intense activity, aad effort is
being steadily shifted from the un
necessary to the necessary products.
One source of uncertainty has been
removed, and that is labor which Is
displaying a high degree of patriotism
and steadily increasing its output!
thus offsetting to some extent the loss
es through drafting into the army.
British labor has doubled its output
since the war began by means of in
tense effort and better methods Such
an increase of product here, however,
hardly to be expected, for the reason
that American labor has long been re-
garded as more efficient than Brit
ish and less inclined to unfair re-
striction.
Our industries are still moving in
! the direction of more absolute gov
eminent control The steel industry
will probably be entirely regulated
at Washington within a very Short
time; and now the textile manufactur-
ers are looking in the same direction,

to the practice of thrift to serve the

creasing production in all fields nee

to conserve food and fuel and useful

practice thrift in peace times is g
