WHY AMERICANS SHOULD BE
 CONFIDENT

The people of the United States have reason for confidence in the bus mess future They need not be dis- couraged or impatient They have only to look about them and study the facts and figures.
 Ours is the richest of all nations We have the most gold. We have the most gold. We have the largest amount in cash. We are 3 creditor nation. The annual productive capa- city of the United States exceeds in value all other countries. We are practically self-contained for the pur- pose of supplying our necessities. With full and adequate facilities for transportation between the United States and other lands of this conti- nent. We could, with respect to the necessities and comforts of life, be perfectly independent of all other parts ofthe world. Circumstances be- yond our control or influence placed the United States in this position. We do not boa $. '.: thls. We deplore the awful tragedy that br, Light de straction and .s h'ndering progress in ': CT nations. ut faces however s.e1n and undesirable, must be con siIcred in the endeavor -' sound the cconomice situation.
 Neither the United States nor oth- CT countries generally will continue to go wrong. It is safe solemnly to affirm that capital and position and power will maintain toward the gen eral public attitudes of justice and of reason, for any other course would be sheer suicide. If capital, position and power do this, the public will not rise in wrath to substitute grim law leSsness for them, through honest eff fort ana undaunted pluck to rise worthily to share their great reward.
