PARIS, April 16.-President
Harding's address to Congress
easily dominates the events of the
week. Although the complete text
of the message still is lacking.
reports agree as to most of the
essential points-conclusion of an
early peace with Germany, fat re-
lection of the covenant of the
existing league of nations. con-
firmation by treaty of the rights
acquired by the United States un-
der the treaty of Versailles. with
certain reservations.
AS viewed here the practical up
shot of what the President said is
an apparent desire for the ratifi-
cation of the present treaty minus
the league Of nations and certain
provisions connected Herewith.
II, as reported here. this program
caused surprise, it shows the Pres
ident's hearers failed to consider
sufficiently that element Of human
decisions which an Italian poet
has called forces of destiny"
/ knew President Wilson. i can
not imagine two men more differ
ent, not only in political creed.
but in character and mental
habits.
Principles Fought For.
Despite these differesces there
fo NJ
yield. One Is that the United States
cannot repudiate the great princi-
ples for which it made war and
which were written into the treaty
OF peace.
The Knox resolution. standing
alone. would have meant such a
reputation. or at least would have
remember that. having lived in
America during the entire time
the United States was at war. I
realized perfectly the practical
ends the resolution aims at. 1t is
a convenient method Of ending
numerous laws enacted for the
duration of the war. The repeal
of this legislation has long been
demanded. The Knox resolution is
able reception in many quarters.
But the Knox resolution, unac-
companied by a statement of
American policy, by the executive
of the United States. would have
been dangerous, and French pub
lie opinion is happy to note that
the administration perceived that
fact.
American Rights Maintained.
The recent note of the American
Secretary of State, Mr.. Hughes. an
nounced that the United States did
not intend to renounce any of its
rights acquired by participation in
the war. and this attitude, the
French think, is perfectly legiti-
mate in principle. But rights among
nations. as among individuals. are
established in contracts. and in
this case the contract is the treaty
of Versailles

In Advance. while under the FED
ersi reserve system such changes
can be forecast from six to eight
months in advance. The revival
can also be foreseen, for your
charts keep you accurately informed
of the trend Of economic move
ments.
Eugene Meyer said the other day
ways follows, II does not preceds, .
panic" The condition ought to be
just the reverse. The time for pes
simiSm 10 just before the peak,
when prices are inflated and money
is high. For the informed man then
knows that depression and hard
times. II not panic, are bound to
come. And the time for optimism
is when prices are down and hard
times are with US. For In the ANAL
analysis those are the conditions
that breed prosperity.
There Is one thing. however, that
I would like to emphasize. and that
is that statistics, to be OF use, must
be studied, digested, and compre-
hended. They must be read In con-
nection with all their modifying
factors. There Is nothing more
dangerous for the average man than
undigested statistics. But given
complete and accurate statistics
thoroughly understood, and the
psychological factor, so much in
sisted upon as taking the value out
Of statistical calculations and fore
casts, can be discarded. The effect
of the psychological factor 10 con-
tained in the statistics.
Every business Different.
Every business has its peculiar
tiles. Every business man will
need his own statistics and his own
set Of charts to guide him. 1 don't
mean he will need statistics that
he gathers himself. but particular
sets of statistics that he can get
from recognized sources, and upon
.hem. after careful study, he will
base his judgments.

skiilful interpretations Of our econ

was no longer q theory. It became
for us q .veritable compass to guide
US through the gathering mists Of

Now We come to 1891. At the be.
ginning of this year our charts
showed US a large increase in the
number Of building permits issued.
Detailed statistics showed that the
vast majority of those permits was
for small houses. Other charts
showed the prices Of building ma
terials declining. At the same time
interest rates were coming down,
We decided that 1t was to be .

These examples all show the ad-
vantage not only of understanding,
out applying practically the prin-
ciples OF the business cycle. There
are many business men who say the
business cycle is an interesting
theory. but fails In the fort of prac-
teal application The experience of
this company has proved that the
principles OF the business cycle can

rates, and strikes in the building

Of pig iron alone on which we
formed our opinion that a depres-

price of pig iron in connection with
the interest rates
Another business would need q

sion under way.
At the present moment, in my
opinion, the business revival has
started. although deflation has not
quite run Its course. Money is too
high for developmental purposes.
Income taxes. especially in the up
per brackets, tend to sap the
sources of normal growth. Rail q.
road rates are too high. Trans
costs are decisive price
factors In most of the Skey indus
tries. Progress thus far is large

Significance in connection with
prices than appears on the surface.
The general price index for Novem-

points over October, In spite Of the
continuous and marked depression
in the principal breadstuffs.
Dollar wheat means cheap bread
to city consumers. but II echoes Q
continuation Of the depression OF
farm prices which has a serious In
tersst to the city worker In, that II
shows the trend toward o sttiI lower
price level before any general busi-
ness revival occurs. To most farm
ers, dollar wheat means q consider
able financial loss, since most Of the
wheat crop cost more than . dollar

our leading cash crop, seldom ussd
as stock feed, there Is no opportu-
nifty to make up for this loss By
