HOPE, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE,.

The attitude of the American world toward the fl
nanca depression incident the return to normally furnishes
Ito us as to the rest world wonderful example of what
hope patience and common sense may ac-
compsh of circumstances pregnant with disaster
The curtaent of credits the collapse of foreign markets
for unconstitutional work and the American buyers strike have
caused situation in America which, but for the foresight and
su manipulation of American fnanciers and producers would
have resulted panic such as America has never seem Inc
foresight of these them courageousy adopt
gram not of reenchmen balancing of
dit and production the hope that before actual distress became
apparent, order might be restored.
Such course meant of profit and the lessening of
surplus many instances In others meant almost bank

cess has justified their course.
Facts cannot be dissolved by emotional rawlings and high
Reason must discretion must be exercised ut

We may admire the of the Indian who many years
ago. tried to stop the train by standing the track and pushing

slowly will they be replaced by different kind OF thinking made
possible by change of conditions which will also be gradual
No removed from this condition judge as
