Troubles to Be Adjusted.

Many things that are not function
ing we'll now will gradually be ad
justed and the disturbances smootbed
out. These disturbances now are
fretful only to the man whose vision
extends to the horizon of tomorrow
and not to that of next year.
The attitude of the government to-
ward business or the relations between
government and business is one of the
problems.
Another problem is that of labor. The
active worker in the corporation and
the stakeholder will finally agree that if
either is to make anything. neither must
take all the money that comes in.
The business men Of Washington have
high faith that these adjustments of in
terests will be made and that the world
is headed not toward chaos, but toward
a period of great prosperity for every
body who will work and struggle to
achieve

Foresee Bright Future.

The future for business and industry
is bright. Consumption of goods is
steadily increasing throughout the
world. The business of producing
goods is steadily growing and in the
production of goods the spirit of order
is replacing the spirit OF disorder;
that is, there is coming to be more
organization and coordination in the
production processes and less lost mo-
ton, friction, duplication and COM
petition.
Big business is growing bigger, The
spirit of cooperation is growing,
while that of seeking to cut the
throat of a competitor is declining.
The policy of reducing or elnninat-
ing ones own profits to drive COM
petitor from the feld-a fashionable
business process in a past AGES un-
derstood now by advanced business
men to be bad business.
The purchasing power of men is in
creaSing, because their productive
power is increa sing. due to the spread
of enlightenment and education, the
development and adoption of ma
chinery, the shortening and cheaper
ing of production processes, the
bringing of producers and consumers
closer together and the simplification
of the exchange of goods by the eX-
tension of the system of credit. In
ternationa1 commerce and trade are
growing because transportation, cleo
trio communication and banking ia
cilities are constantly increasing the
ease with which a man in one part of
the world may do business with man
in another part.

BRIGHT BUSINESS
FUTURE PREDICTED

The opinion of Washington banking
men, if compiled and digested. would
read like this:
There seems to be great confusion
in the present. The uncertainties of
today seem bigger and more impor-
tant than uncertainties ever did be-
fore. This confusion is really not SO
great as it seems. The reason it seems
so great is that We are in the midst
of it. So many perplexities. big and
little press upon us that it is hard to
get broad view of the whole situa
ton.
This condition is true at all times
except at very duh times. Then
there is nothing to do and nothing
to see except dreary routine things.
This is an active time and requires
of man broad vision to look beyond
the maze of daily things. to appraise
them and to separate the trifes from
the things that are of large signifi-
canoe and to give these their proper
place in the general situation.
