The Importance Of the retailer

their responsibility. I am conf

will be for themselves.

without due consideration for all
the factors that enter into the proc
ess Perhaps the chief of these Is
labor cost, which affects all others.
When prices scared TO prohibltive
heights raw materials were the
first to feel the reaction. But so
long eS labor costs remain high the
manufacturers cannot pass along a
large part Of the reduction In the
cost Of materials because his big.
gest item Of cost is labor.
The solution to the problem is
lower production costs. We are In
period Of smaller margin Of prof
its than that which We have expe-
rienced for the last few years.
Greater efficiency is urgently de-
manded.
The solution OF this problem
must be found before we can ac.
complish the most important Of all
necessary readjustments - namely,
a stable basis Of exchange between
farm and Industrial products,
which, in the final analysis. is an
exchange between farm and indus

largest industry. When It Is pros

but when II Is not prosperous the
country cannot be prosperous.
And there is another problem
which vitality concerns all Of US
namely, unemployment. Like the
repudiation OF contracts, this also
is worldwide condition and must
likewise be remedied as soon as
possible. While We have been far
more fortunate than any other ma
tion, 1t is serious matter to have
three million people out Of work
even in this rich country.
Consequently the task Of ade-
quately financing our overseas COM
merce, which is the crux Of the
problem, Is matter of vital inter-
est to every business man, farmer
and laborer in the country. II Is
essential for all these elements Of
our body polite to do all ln their
power to make successful such
movements as that represented by
the Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration, which is being organized
with capital stock Of one hun.
dred billion dollars, on which, un.
der the Edge Act, it can extend a
billion dollars in long-term credits
to foreign buyers of American
products and issue Its own deben
tures against the collateral for
these loans for sale to the Ameri.
can public.
Our productive capacity has
steadily been increasing since the
beginning Of the World War. II
now exceeds the capacity Of domes
mestic consumption. And 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that merely domes.
tic readjustment cannot solve the
problem Of satisfactorily disposlng
of our surplus goods. Further
more, all nations are so economical
ly interdependent that employment
IL any one country depends TO .
large extent upon worldwide Co
operation and facilities for the ex'
change of goods.
Because Of world conditions and
their influence upon US business re-
covery here will naturally be grad
ual, but all the better for that. II
Is matter Of national congratu'
lation, however, that there are
abundant indications that the tide
in our busines affairs has unmistak'
ably turned. Confidence is being
restored, and, very important de-
spite the precipitate fall In the
price Of farm products. the latest
reports from agricultural districts
disclose the fact that the plight Of
our farmers, generally, is not as
bad as we have been led to believe
at first. Crops are being marketed
gradually, ana that means that
newly created wealth Is being made
available to the nation. More in
dustrlal plants are reopening.
Transportation facilities have been
considerably improved since the
railroads were returned to private
control through greater efficiency
In their use. Bank reserves have
been materially strengthened, and
banking conditions, in common
with fundamental business condi.
tions, are sound and have been con,
siderably bettered recently through
the steadier and more accelerated
movement Of agricultural products
to market and through the more
rapid liquidation Of paper held by
the banks.
