BUSINESS SITUATION IMPROVING

symptoms OF improvement in the business situation have become ap-
parent with the resumption of outdoor operations, but it cannot be said
these indications are sufficiently pronounced to justify sanguine predic-
TONS
1t is gratifying that there isonot the amount of distress that might
have been expected from SO much unemployment, nor the number of BUSH
ness failures that might be expected following SO sever a depreciation of
values. The most encouraging circumstance lis the fact that the readjus-
nent ofw wage. and prices which is necessary tic a general revival of indus
try is steadily progressing, and without a serious amount of friction.
Comparative figures compiled by authentic agencies do not show a
pleasing state of affairs, but they do show what everybody knows-that
W e are passing through a period of depression, and when We take into ac-
count the state OF business over the world, and the great and heavy fall in
prices Of ur staple products, there is reason for congratulation that con-
dtions are n o worse.
Retail trade continues fair, and wholesale distribution very good,
considering the 10y prices of farm products and the amount of nonemploy-
ment reported. Payments through banks reporting to the federal reserve
board are running 20 TO 25 per cent lower than a year ago, which is not
so great a decrease az might be expected in view of the decline If prices.

always been the practice Of the House Appropriations Committee to pro
vide for the purchase of furniture for the private apartmentso oft the Presi-
dent and his family. BUT, as an example for Government economy, Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding have no intention of using a Congressional appro-
prmhon fol furnishing these apartments. Instead the furniture will come
from their own Marion and Washington homes.

tht the funds, making this purchase possible an coming out OF the public

COMMENT.

1t is not a n uncommon remark that employers are taking advantage
of the state OF depression and unemployment to force wage reductions.
This is an in-adWsed comment, calculated 10 cause bad feeling. 1t indi-
GATES a want OF understanding of the actual requirements Oft the situation.
The act is that depression and unemployment exist because the industrial
situation is u of balance, and there lis n remedy except by such read
justmento OF wages and prices a will restore the balance, and enable the
various industries to exchange products o a fair basis.
1t is impossible, when one-half the people O. the country have lost ap-
proximately one-haIf their purchasing power, TO the other half of the po-
pie TIC go on without taking nteo Of it. The depreciation OF money which
resulted form the war was not a natural n permanent development.
and it Us always the case that the sooner that adjustment is accomplished,
Sc that normal relations are restored between the industries, the better
for everybody.
1t is of n % advantage to the workers in any industry to have costs
maintained upon a level which prevents the sale of their products. Some
body must have the sagacHy to attempt a restoration pf the conditions un-
der which an exchange Of products is possible. The compensation of
workers n the various branches of indusry-which means their purchas-
ing power-must be brought back into equilibrium. Whether it will take
a long time or a short time depends upon the rapidty with which the
public conprehends the situation, and remarks of the kind referred to
do not promote a n understanding.

Assistant Secretary La Porte, Of

Facilities Are "Scantiest."

Nearly 40 per Cont Of the dis

world war are suffering from some
form of mental arrangement, ac-
cording TO estimates made on the
basis of Public Health Service re-
ports by Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury La Porte. who, in COM
menting upon the situation today,
said Government hosDital facilities
for the treatment of these men
were "the scantiest."
MUST HAVE BETTER TREATMENT.
Proper treatment for these patients
must come quickly, Mr.. La Porte said,
or they Will In many cases become
confirmed in their disorders. Ever
effort Is being made by the Treasury
to meet the situation, he added, but
IL 10 handicapped by lack of facilities
and the scarcity OF doctors trained in
treating mental diseases.
Patients Of all classes in the Public
Health Service hospitals are increas-
ing, Mr.. La Porte said. at the rate or
1 900 a month. On September 10
1919, he said there were approximate
ly O,-OO III thc Nofo va ~
service, while on January l OF this
year the number had increased to
22,2S2. 1t is expected. he asserted.
that before the peak is reached the
number of patients requiring hospital
care viii approximate from 10000 TO
80, 900.
1t is not thought. he added. that the
peak will be reached for ten years.
CLASSIFICATION OF PATIENTS
OF the patients in hospitals on jan

whom 1856 were suffering from

were suffering from mental disorders
For tuberculous patients he stated
the present facilities consist OF 1000
beds In the Soldiers Home at Johnson
City. Tenn. and 7.431 beds in Public
Health Service hospitals but. of the
latter, 5251 are not satisfactory. For
medical and surgical patients there
are 9,94S beds. he said. but 4,G21 are
unsatisfactory. For mental patients,
he added, there are 1000 beds at tho
Soldiers Home at Marion, Ind, and

not satisfactory.
