they would relieve the present
economic distress. What may
be termed the great default is
due. some business leaders are
now asserting, not only to sharp
changes in the law of supply and
demand and the upset caused by
the war, but as well to broken
contracts, loss of faith, and an
overweening desire for wealth.
The Presbyterian Advance, one
of several religious papers con-
cerned over the situation hears
that more than $3.50, 900, 600 has
been lost by business during the
past few months because OF
loose contracts, and that bro
ken pledges include millions
worth with foreign governments.
The situation is rendered the
more acute by the closing OF
shoe and cotton factories and
wooden mills, strikes in the coal
fields, restrictions in certain
branches Of industry, and the
consequent additions to the al
ready long list of unemployed.
much of which trouble, it. is
claimed, could have been pre-
vented by an honorable observ-
ance of ordinary obligations.
Political changes. it is asserted,
will effect some relief; but lead
ing business men themselves
urge that the real remedy does
not lie in political method but in
the general application of the
Golden Rule. Following his cleo
ton as president Of the Boston
Boot and. Shoe Club, Oliver nj.
Fisher, a shoe manufacturer OF
Newton, Mass, said, according
to the press, that on account OF
its success this country has been
