In 1907 and in 1919 the period was but few
months.
When the armistice was signed thousands predicted
terrible depression because there would be no jobs
for four million demobilized soldiers. But war had
stopped production of civilian needs and there was
work for everyone.
And in meeting those requirements during the past
two years other important work was sighted,

Professor
Henry Ford

We have no desire 10 set up
Henry Ford ~ . tin divinity, hut
u does seem that there are simple
business lessons which might be
learned from him.
According - eur Information.
Henry Is now selling bis iirsies
at . price SIS less than prs-war
prices But. hero Is the point:
Henry has broken all records In
the last three months In the
quantity Of machines produced
and sold
Get tho last two words: AND
SOLD" Tho fact which should
interest our other captains Of In
dustry Is that . sufficient rcduc-
ton In price stimulates purchase.
There Is y market when the price
Is made low enough to meet the
buyer.
There Is something Henry Is
teaching the business world. Per
haps II Is efficiency. Perhaps Il
Is elemental economies. Certainly
II Is not the lesson that . rail
road can get rich by raising it,
rates until the crops rot on the
ground. Or that builders can
grow rich while tenants walk the
streets and sleep in public parks.
Without changing our economic
system things could be much i'm
proved by the intelligent recoE-
milton Of the obvious--as Henry
Ford recognizes 1t.

Running Out

Germany Is running out Of gold.
and the critical period Of chang
ing future payments Of the war

now approaching. The allies must
decide whether II Is cheaper to
accept German goods and keep
their own workingrnen unem-
pIoyed or 10 postpone indefinitely
the greater part Of the indemnify
and hold their home markets for
the products OF their own laber.
Germany can pay the indemnify
with her manufacturers II the
allies win allow her 10 do 50.
hut the allies already have So
rious unemployment troubles and
do not want to add to them. The
allies might approve Of Germany
sending her manufactures to the
United States, and thus creating
credits here for the allied indem-
nifty account But unemployment
in America would be increased BY
this arrangement, and the Ger
mans know the United States will
not cooperate In any such inter
national philanthropy.
Tho American experts at the
peace conference opposed n heavy
indemnity on the ground that IL
couldn't be collected. The allies
own economic advisers took the
same view. Their Statesmen
did not. The time has now come
when the crisis must be met.
In the end, the best the allies
probably will be able 10 do for
themselves will be 10 postpone
payments and 10 accept long term
German bonds. hoping something
will turn up in the distant future
10 make the bonds good.
