Hoover. Practical Optimist

9 ECRETARY HOOVER is optimistic in
~ predicting the speedy recovery of this
country from the Industrial depression
which has followed in the wake of the war
In this view he gives reason for the faith
upon which his optimism is predicatcd. We
hay" come through thirteen similar drprcs-
siuns since the War between the States he
told 1000 real estate men assembled in ma
uonal convention in Chicago and we have
today greater resources and no less courage
skill or intelligence than when we met those
disasters before. In proof OF Ills statement
Of improving conditions he cited the fact
that thousands of firms whose cases seemed
hopeless months ago are now on the road
10 safety.
In referring TO the efforts the admins
tra.ion IS making for the removal OF the
great burdens upon commerce and industry
and 10 aid in recovery where the government
can properly assist, he expressed the opinion
that the administration could be of assist
ance to business generally in three distinct
ways: first. by driving every combination
out OF business that attempts TO restrain
trade; second. tho government TO some de
gree. directly or indirectly, controls or OBJ
Structs the flow of credits. and ii is there
fore responsible under this part OF the pro-
gram; third, the government can and should
Interest itself i'll the dissemination OF in
formation in scientific study of certain prob
lens III materials and methods and in co.
operation with industries to effect voun-
tary reduction in wastes that costs of homes
may be reduced. In connection with this
third suggestion of remedial effort. he
quoted statistics showing that the percent
age OF home owners was steadily decreasing
b" per cent OF our population now living as
tenants.
While the problem of supprcssing COM
binatons in restraint OF trade has been an
cvcr-prcsont one for moro than Il quarter
OF century. the favorable results obtained
have largely been lost through practices
which, in tho confusion growing ont of the
var have dchcd all efforts at their control.
However, aroused public sentiment and
irmneSS Of purpose on tho part of the gov
eminent, il properly directed. can accom-
pliSh a great deal in breaking up these
combinations in rcmcdyng this condition.
III pointing out the duty OF the government
III respect TO its control of the flow of
credits, Mr.. Hoover undoubtedly put his
inSor on one of the sore spots in which
rcmisSn"ss of governmental duty is directly
responsible for much OF the delay in over
coming existing depression In its desire To
prove helpful To business. the administra-
zion can render no moro signal service than

ness which reflects itself so disastrouslv in
tho business situation

to its being passed up to him for approval
or disapproval. the Georgia Senator reads a
meaning into the Constitution that is not
authorized by its language Section 3, Ar
iicle H., OF the Constitution reads: "He
shall from time to time give to the Con-
gress Information of the state OF the Union
and recommend To their consde era ton such
measures as he shall deem necessary and
cXpcdicnt'
II Will thus be seen that there is no inhi-
hilton on the method which the President
shall pursue in communicating with Con-
gross; but. on the contrary, it is expressly
stipulated that he shall give To that body
information AS To the state OF the Union"
which he did out OF high sense OF public
obligation. hut also that he shall recon-
mend 10 their consideration such measures
as he shall deem necessary and expedient"
II would be very narrow construction Of
the language of the Constitution to coniine
1t 10 the negative principle. The state of
the Union which the President disclosed
admittedly implies Il condition which would
make such legislation as he seeks to pre-
vent AT this time gravcly inimical to the
public welfare and tho President clearly
acted within his constitutional right when
he so informed the Senators.

Sin takes place when you choose a worse
act knowing the better one that you might

wv" courses OF action have been presented To
the Individual. one of which is better than the
