Nothing Can Stop
Reimbursement to
a Lower Level

Plnehurst. N. c.. May 4.-Neither
money. transportation costs. taxation
nor labor can effectively or perma-
nently avoid the irresistible forces
that aic working toward re-adjust-
ulent on a lower level, John :. Drum
San Francisco, president of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, declared in
q survey of the economic situation in
the United States submitted to the
associations executive council here
today.
Mr.. Drums statement was based on
more than 1900 replies to a question
naire sent by the association 10 bank
ers, heads Of transportation companies
and other business leaders asking for
authoritative opinions as to financial
commercial, Industrial and agricul-
tural conditions IN the nation.
All clements in the nations cconom-
ic life must fall into line in the
process Of REIMBURSEMENT, the report
said.
1T would work to the disadvantage
of factors that would. if they could
keep out of line with the rest" it add
Cd. The weight of opinion is that this
tendency tDwtrd sterilization will not
be accomplished in the year. or the
two years that lie just ahead Of us"
The process Of reimbursement must
be gradual" Mr.. Drum said. First,
one element then another. feels the
operation of the incXorable forces that
are working to restore normal condi-
tons"
Common sense, and a knowledge of
fact. with clear vision, Mr.. Drum de-
clared, must guide the nation in its
struggle to solve the broad. economic
problems that have grown out of the
war and the peace.
"OurSsurvey has shown that the
great economic problems fall into two
classes which may be expressed in
terms of the problems of production
and those of costs and markets." the
survey said.
Discussing labor the survey said
wages did not rise as rapidly as COM
modify prices during the war and the
imitation period and their general
tendency will be the last to fall with
REIMBURSEMENT. Wage reductions have
been accepted in many Industries, but
not in the building trades and among
railway employees, Mr.. Drum said.

economic laws working toward stag

stagnatiDn in most parts of the coun-
try in all except essential building
construction and in the great decrease
in railway traffic because of high
rates caused by operating costs" he
added.
Under the heading of Materials
the survey said they were the first of
the elements to feel the upward i'm
pulse when the war came and already
/ were the first to respond towar' new
lower level.
Touching on the railroad situation,
Mr.. Drum declared rate increases at
q time when other services and COM
modities Were falling, had disas-
trous influence on the nations bust
ness. The so-called liquidation of la
Dor has been perhaps the principal
cause of these strangling freight
rates
The survey showed there is discon-
tent with systems of taxation which
Mr.. Drum said never were just in
principle nor scientific in method of
collection. There is virtually unani-
nous opposition to the excess profits
| tax. Majority sentiment favors a
sales tax to replace the excess profits
tax.
Answers to the questionnaires Mr..
Drum said, showed there is reasoned
opposition to cancellation of the AL
lied debts to the United States, based
chiefly on the argument that cancella-
ton would greatly increase taxation
in this country.
Despite a buyers strike, many re-
tailers were unwilling - take their
losses and sell for lower prices, Mr..
Drum said, in discussing domestic
markets. This condition has changed
and now many retailers are marking
down prices to a basis of present
costs.
Cancellations of orders followed re-
duced sales and, as result there are
now great quantities Of all kinds Of
manufactured goods for which there
is no demand, lying in the hands of
manufacturers.
Opinions indicate that the decline
IN domestic markets to a great ex-
tent has been caused by, and is a re-
lection of, an even more serious fall
/ in foreign demand for American
goods.
I'VE must help the countries Of the
world financially" Mr.. Drum said,
