THE PLUMB PLAN


From the mid month circular of the Irving

a long look backward in American
business is necessary to find a fort
night so crowded with happenings of
grave import to industry, to trade and
to the welfare Of the whole people as
the two weeks just ended. From a
position in which most of the factors
seemed to indicate a continuing sea-
son Of notable progress and pros
perity, succession of untoward events
has. rudely jostled the country, and
brought. IT to realization of the. seri-
',ous social and economic problems
which must be settled before re-
turn to normal levels and normal ac-
tivities can be effected.

this sequence of events were not wild

The dramatic launching of the
Plumb plan, therefore, with the at

roads so tight that they would never

public opinion and focusing "a deter

inside and outside of Congress: this
grows stronger every day.
Given Business Pause.
The Plumb plan, with it's resultant
activities at Washington and at the
various state capitals. therefore, has
given business a pause. though it has
had little effect apparently on the
imm ediate activities of production and
distribution. Many of the recommen-
dations of the President in his mes
sage to Congress on the high cost of
living. August S, though designed to
prevent profiteering and similar evils,
are likely to put limitations on legit-
innate trading as well.
On top of this sudden load of labor
and polItical troubles came the reali-

winter wheat had faded to little more
than an average years output. Too
much moisture at critical stage
had caused excessive growth of straw
