THREE THOUSAND SAY
BUSINESS STRUCTURE IS
7 BAslcLY SOUND NOW

81. Louis. Mo.-'rhe result OF the
economic questionable sent TO 5000
business and agricultural interests
and newspapers throughout the TWEEN
~ seven states composing the Miss
issippi valley territory by the Miss
issippi Valley association shows that
the combined sentiment OF 5000 re-
turned quesiionaires is expressive of
The opinion that the individual and
financial condition Of the United
States is basically sound, that the
present depression in business is
due to the universal demand OF the
public for lower living costs; that no
additional system OF credits Is need.
ed; that the usual law OF supply and
demand has little bearing on the
present situation, that the press of
the country has given too much pub
licity to depressing rumors with re-
gard to business; and urges a truth
full statement of facts concerning the
business situation as the right sort
Of propaganda to be disseminated
to the public.
The composite thought and sug-
gestions as expressed in the ques.
tionaire are to form basis for the
adoption by the Mississippi Valley
association of program of con
structive thought and action tend
ing to relieve the apparent business
stagnation.
This announcement of the results
of the QUESTIONABLE which was sent
out last month was made public
today by James b. Morrow, manag
ing director OF the Mississippi Val
ley association with headquarters il
st. Louis.
The composite thought was deter
mined by separating the replies tC
the QUESTIONABLE into various group!
representing manufacturers, agrcul
tural interests, newspapers. and stu
dents of economy of the various col
leges throughout the Mississippi val
ley. Sixteen salient points as ex
pressed by each of these groups were
used in formulating the composite
thought.
