Hopeful Note for BUSINESSES Sounded

Many of the leading fnanciers and trade ex-
perts of the United States attended the meeting
of the National Foreign Trade council at Cleve
land this week, and virtually every speaker
sounded note of optimism. They believe that
industry and business will soon feel the stimulat
ing effect of renewed activity.
James A. Terrell, head of the fifteen steel
corporations, said our chief difficulty is the
operation of our machinery for financing foreign
trade Foreign countries, he said, need our
products, but lack the capacity to purchase. The
increase in the price of the American dollar in
the currency of other nations has resulted in the
depression of our trade in some cases to the
point of stagnation.
1.-The original cause of the depreciation and
stagnation was the almost complete stoppage Of
foreign trade. Nothing else has happened to us.
There was no domestic trouble. Our overseas
commerce was suspended by the war and our
whole machinery of industry and trade slack.
ened accordingly
Governor w. P. G. Harding of the federal
reserve board believes there is danger of d
general financial trouble in the United States.
1.-The time has come for renewed courage and
confidence" he said 1.-THE present mal-ad just
ment is only temporary. The economic forces
are seeking to reconcile themselves, and they will
do so. While the country has many problems
ahead of it, problems which must be met by
legislation, such as the adjustment of taxation
and transportation problems, which are very
serious and must be met by common sense, We
can all take comfort from the thought that we
have passed through the worst of our troubles
and that the problems ahead of US are all solv-
able

The most glaring lack of enterprise

Give million of Chinas starving still un-
touched by relief from any source says an
announcement. 'They will remain untouched
unless relief not at present in sight is
brought to them. In plain language, 100000
people, equivalent to per cent of the population
of the country, are doomed to die, unless they

Thomas w. Lamont, chairman of the
American committee for the China Famine Fund,
points out that the Chinese government and
people have done their best to look after their
own; foreign countries have given assistance
commensurate with their ability, and America

 Splendid Success

"Scroggins' Divorce Case" a farce comedy was presented last evening at the Barnum avenue Y- w. C. A. by members of the Recreation com. mittee of Holmes and Edwards, or which William Parry is chairman.
 This comedy was very cleverly en- acted by the entire cast under the supervision of Alvin W. Bearse, d1rec- tor of music and dramatlcs or tne Y. NJ. C. A. The play was very in teresting and humorous from start to finish and kept the audience in roar of laughter most of the evening.
 Holmes and Edwards had as their guests the Recreation committee or the Housatonic plant of the Bridge port Brass company, who presented the same play some time ago. Music for dancing was furnished by the Crescent Dancing orchestra.
 The presentation last evening re- fleets great credit on the dramatic ability of MT. Bearse, the director gem er-aI. who has worked hard to give creditable performance.
