PROSPERITY ERA
seen FOR us.
Federal Reserve Board Re-
ports Show Revival of
Trade Conditions.

American business apparently has
largely recovered from the shock
of the war. and is set for unpre-
cedented prosperity. according to
reports reaching the Federal Re
serve Board
Increasingly large volumes of raw
materials on docks for export; pros
poets for a record grain crop. and
Surprisingly satisfactory" indus
trial conditions combine to present
a 'reassuring situation" to the ma
tion, according to a statement given
out by the board yesterday. During
April. business conditions improved
more rapidly than had been an
ticipated, the. reports reveal
Building Plans Develop.
The board entertains no fears as
TO unemployment The floating sup
ply of labor. threatening trouble in
February and March. has been largely
absorbed. the boards statement
shows II predicts also that the large
grain crop will present further Oppor-
tUnity for employment.
Rectification of conditions will con-
tinue most of the summer months. the
board believes. Plans for building op-
erations and for expansion in indus
try. held in allegiance during the war,
are beginning to materialize, the
board says. Manufacturing condi-
tionS may remain somewhat "spotty"
for brew period. but this condition
is not regarded as dangerous.
Relative to export trade. the state
nent says:
Export trade during the month has
been large. although it consisted pre-
dominantly of raw materials. Never
theless. interest in export trade is
growing"

THE WAR ON HEARST

Mayor Hylan Of New York City. Is
finding it q hard job to hold together
an official committee TO welcome the
returning soldiers. When the duty OK
Amounting such committee fell to the
navo, he outraged the patriotic sense
Of the people Of New York, by naming
William Randolph Hearst for chairman
~ the committee. Throughout Greater
New York. a protest went up. and the
1rotest was followed by the resignation
of a large number Of the committee
members. Within the past few days the
BROOKLYN membership of the welcoming
committee has been seriously depleted.
New York. at least. feels that hearst
and Hearst newspapers have not been
one hundred per cent patriotic; that IN
their activities preceding the entrance
~ the United States into the war. were
distinctly pro-German. and even a1'cr
o,,- entry into the war. they were hai1-
hearted IN the support Of pariot'c
reasnres. The graceful thing. under
III. circumstances. would be tor MI
Hearst to quietly eliminate himself oue
