CHICAGO. Dee. 26.--susincEs lead i.
crs in The Middle Vest are now
looking forward TO tho turn to-
ward better business.
sooner than expected by most pcopi.
Some business men say this turn
is due any day. Others. less Uptimis-
tic. say not before inauguration day
March {, bu, the general feeling is
that It. Will come by early spring At
the latest.
J. ogden Armour. the packer. says
"ihc turn will come just as suddenly
and irresistihly as did tn: present
slump. II believe" he declares. "thnt
we are right on the eve Of the ia y
when the buying public will hang

One OF the most important factors
holding back the turn" is canccl!a-
t!on OF orders. Touching on this
aspect OF the situation, John j.
Mitchell. chairman OF lac board, mi
ncis Trust e Savings. Merchants
loan IS Trust and Corn Exchange
banking group, said:
Cancellations have worked hard
snip N mercantIic dealing. This evil
must not continue II business is to
i've conducted on u sound basis, and it
viii not continue. The man who has
broken tbs contracts with business
associates is likely To find scant con-
s!derat."r himself when he seeks it,
Merchants must liquidatc their
stocks. BY no; doing SO they pre-

They realize The situation now. As
soon as liquidation is completed
things viii improve.
y leading merchant suggested tha:
instead OF cancellation he slogan
should be:
Get the orders"
Leroy y. Goddard. chairman of the
bOaFi, state t3ank OF chicago, thinks S
the future will demand the best
thought OF business men, Il see moth
ing To cause alarm or urcasincss, but
mud TO give encouragement and
confidence. he said.
There is a general feeling that
the turn" VIII come simultaneously
with stabilizutiou OF prices and re-
rircd buying on the part OF the pub
lie. The question OF unemployment,
of course. enters into the buying
problem. Unemployment in this
region. however. has not reached the
proportions of lsli-15. when u slump
followed the new tariff act and the
outbreak Of the war.
And despite growing employment.
December was worse in this respect
than November and January is ex-
pcctcd to he as bad. il not worse. than
December. Nobody seems down in
the mouth.
Everybody is waiting for "thc
