THERE are two main causes, in my
opinion for the prevailing bus
mess stagnation.
The first and most important is
the REIMBURSEMENT incident to a re-
turn to normal conditions. During
the war the entire economic struc-
ture was diarranged. in many in
stances the government took con-
troll of existing agencies such as
the railroads and Skipping, and in
troduced innovations with respect to
management and wages which, while
doubtless necessary at the time, are
unsuited for peace conditions.
All our energies were bent toward
the production necessary to winning
the war, and prices rose to abnor-
NAL levels. Now that the stimulus
of protecting our national life has
been withdrawn, the law of supply
and demand again prevails and de-
flation is in progress.
Demand Shrinkage
The shrinkage of demand curtails
production and creates a situation
which is equally hard for employer
and employee, causing strikes and
unrest.
The second is the great difficulty
IN finding markets abroad for our
produce. 1t would be very helpful if
we had such an outlet for our in.
dustry, but the other nations of the
world are going through an even
severer course of readjustment
than we are and, furthermore, since
practically all of them owe us enor-
nous debts, the rate of exchange is
so heavily in our favor that it is
practically impossible for them to
purchase of US.
Thus the loss of our foreign mar
ket comes at a time when our do.
nestle market is at its lowest ebb.
The present business depression
must terminate sooner or later just
as the boom period which followed
the war came oan end. Such radi-
| cal fluctuations in our national pros
perity more or less inevitably follow.
ed the great arrangement in our
economic structure brought about BIZ
the war.
Moreover, it is as likely that SINH.

after all, there will be few WHO vii

OBSERVATIONS

Beauty is a skin game.
He who hesitates gets run over.
Grass widows never go to seed.
Anyhow temperatures are lower.
Health is wealth, but hard to cash
Nobody loves skinny man in win

A little learning is an expensive
thing.
Men who never take day off have
off days.
Nobody ever thinks a thing is too
bad to be true.
If tie unemployed conference
works we all will.

EDITORIAL.
THE news from Washington that
Southef Field, the Air Service

4 he news from W aShAEtpN tlA
Southef Field, the Air Servic
post at Americas, is to be abandon
cd, is bad news, but not entirely un
expected, to Americas people. De
spite protests from officials in Wash
iugtOn tat there was no intention
to abandon the field or even change
It's status, whenever some new order
came along repeatedly reducing the
personnel, the idea has gradually
been growing in the minds Of the
people here that it was only a ques-
ton Of time until the post would
be closed entirely. And now Wash,
;ngton admits it.
It was the Change in Adminis.ra-
ton at Washington, in which friends
of the South were ousted from con-
troll, that clinched the belief that
Souther Fields time was limited,
And when congress enacted legisla-
ton cutting the size of the army,
trimming the Air Service branch to
The limit, and cutting expenditures
far below what was thought absolute
ly necessary, it became more ap-
parent that the fields lease on life
would be shorter even than the mosi
hopeless had expected.
s.
THE loss of Souther Field will be
a a greater loss in pride anc
prestige than materially. There was
q time, for several months after its
establishment, when Souther F'leio
was a post of about 1900 officers
and men. Never a large post, but
they were the pick of the American
forces-young men, splendid young
men, men who were able to pass the
severest army tests of physique, in
telligenee and general ability-men
to be trained as daring air pilots
When the war ended these young
men began to scatter rapidly, and
in a few months only a mere hand
full were left. Then, the post was
made inactive, with not enough en-
listed men left to guard the govern
ments property, and jobs were pro
vided for numerous civilians.
Recently these jobs have been cur
tailed, and persons employed there
have been forced to seek work else
where, until now only the smallest
possible force of army men and CIV
ilians is to be found in charge of this
government reservation and its mil
lions CT dollars worth of stored air
planes and air service equipment.
COULTER FIELD has repeatedly
- been declared by flying men to
be the equal of the best in the coun-
try. It's soil is ideal for flying in
any kind of weather. something I'M
true of most other fields. 1t loca-
tion is excellent, its climate first
class. But the administration is cut
ting expenses, and to do this it Is
closing numerous army posts. The
South, which was favored with most
Of the posts because of its climatic
advantages for winter training, Is
now losing most, and the North is
being favored whenever possible in
the retention of what few stations
are to be retained. 1t is the logical
result Of conditions and our form
of government.
