There are complicated problems 10 be

OF borrowers at home and abroad. The
United States has the largest potential

II has been put to severe strain during
the last twelve months IL Will enter the
new year with an exceptional organiaa-
ton and highly developed appetite for
safe securities available at prices which

Tax Changes.
Ii is apparent that earnest efforts will
be made TO reduce taxation and make It
easier for the average man TO liv and do
business. War OUTLAWS still influence all
such calculations and II IN by no means
clear how the reductions In Federal
taxes will be brought about But the
new Administration has taken step
forward In insisting on economies In
cases In which tax reductions are pos
sible because the people OF this and OF
other countries have been burdened
heavily by the high cost OF government
and evils attending 1t. There are inter
esting days ahead after the readtust-
ment shall have been completed or has
been further advanced. Tho American
people are expressing a cautiously OPP
t!mistic view of the future and leader
OF business and finance are not ignoring
difficulties in solving the extraordinary
series OF problems which have grown out
OF the war and reconstruction financing
which followed It. Effective steps to
push American trade abroad where II
can be done safely and in a manner not
calculated to continue the era OF high
prices are being taken.
It is peculiarly q situation calling FOR
clear thinking by business men and BIZ
those in charge OF great undertakings.
Worldwide readjustment is in progress
and European nations arc laooring with
difficulties attending a settlement OF
reparation claims and restoring normal
exchange conditions. Moratoria have
