Federal Reserve Review

"Curtailment of production. par
ticularly in the textile and boot and
shoe industries. and further prolon-
cation into autumn of the summer
inactivity in the raw materials mar
ket, are still conspicuous factors in
the situation in this district" is re-
port Of the Monthly Review of the
Federal Reserve for the New Eng
land District.
There is conjecture as to where the
present apathetic attitude of the buy
ers will lead.
TT may result in dealers feeling
obliged to liquidate present stocks
even at the risk of taking losses in
some cases, in order to bring in fresh
funds with which to buy new goods
when offered by jobbers at lower
prices. On the other hand. too pro-
tracted abstention from buying or
the part Of the public may defeat its
own purpose by leading to an accen-
tuated demand at a time when stocks
are low and thereby bring about a
recurrence of rising prices"
The money situation is reported
easier. There has been a potential
increase OF about s20,oo0,o00 in the
cash reserve, a change attributed
largely to liquidation of inventories by
industries and the further fact these
are not purchasing any large amour,
Of raw materials. ..T
Cotton mills in this district are
curtailing. A few mills have shut
down but most have 'resorted to a
slowing down. A similar situation is
reported in wool and leather manu-.
features. =
Reports from twenty manufactur-
ing communities of Massachusetts
and from numerous places in Other
New England States. representing
| chiefly textile and shoe and leather
industries, reflect general curtailment
of operations and complete or par
tial shut downs, in some cases indef-
initely, and in others for specific Pc
RODS, in the hope of being able to
resume without prolonged idleness
Thus some thousands of workers are
temporarily out of employment OF
working on part time"

much from that of the rest of us.

Tariff a World Incentive

Tariff World Incentive
Manufacturers Record
There has been builded up in this
country a standard of living that is
the admiration of the world 1t is
possible to bring humanity up to a
level or down to a level. The pioneer
won the West not by coming back to
the East. but by bringing the East to
him Progress consists in the few fore
runners out ahead up to whom the
masses are gradually brought. Then
the new outrunners move on ahead
and repeat the process.
The United States can do one Of two
things: 1t can either reduce its stand
ards to the accepted standards of 9TH
er parts of the world or it can MAIN
tain its standard and so gradually
compel the rest of the world to adj
vance likewise.
This nation can keep down the bars
and SO compel its agricultural and
other laborers to compete on equal
terms with similar labor elsewhere
But no laborer can live in a modern
house and eat meat frequently and
compete with another laborer who lives
in hut and is lucky if he gets meat
on Christmas.
We do the world a service when we
compel foreign products to enter this
market with differential added to
put the cost of production. on a parity
with the American cost. When the
rest of the world brings its standard
of living up to the American stand
ard, then can the tariff barriers be
lowered, not before. Thus the pro-
tective tariff becomes an incentive to
the rest of the world to strive to meet
the American standard of production
That is not a dream: it is a fact
America is a shining light not solely
because it means political liberty. but
because it means economically a way
of living for which the world has al
ways yearned. 1t is light which
must never be extinguished Lincoln
once said that property is positive
good in the world. If some men are
rich. it proves to other men that they.
too, may become rich. There are
many crimes committed in the name
of sentiment and humanitarianism. 1t
would not be doing the world a SER
vice to tear down the structure of
American prosperity, but rather by
maintaining it and showing that even
as the United States has become pros
porous and sustains high standards of
living, so may other nations by SINH
lar enterprise and diligence attain sim
liar good results
The protective tariff. therefore, in
the present condition of the world is a
positive moral force.

we have done this in Santo Domingo.
That doubt should not be permitted

A Surprise Of the Railroads

Railroad executives who met in
New York last week to discuss re-
suits of private operation and gen.
eral traffic conditions, surprised
themselves by the record they had
made when the figures Of mileage and
tonnage Of freight cars under private
operation were read and compared
with those Of operation under Fed
eral control. The roads were re-
turned to their owners March /, 1920,
and during the six months to Sep
tember 1 gains in efficiency have
been made which represent cash
value OF $4,000, 0o0,o00
The railroad experts arrive at this
amaxing conclusion in this way: At
the end Of Federal control the aver.
age number Of miles per car Der day
was 1z.3 and the average tonnage of
each car was 2S.3. On September the
average number Of miles per car Der

these figures shows a gain in car
movement Of ~ ga per cent. and q
gain 81 over z per cent. in capacity
loading. At the present time 1850
900 freight cars are in use and Il
was shown that the growth in en-.
cheney has added the equivalent Of
100000 cars to the total number. The
cash saving, reckoned at $4,000 car,
amounts to $4,000. 100000
