SHOULD STIMULATE BUYING
Cautious Against Idle Waiting--Ac-
cept Reasonable Profits, Says
Banker Alexander.

New York.-Confidence that bust
ness will soon settle down on sound
fundamentals was expressed by lead
ing financiers and practical econom
TITS at dinner of the Association OF
Stock Exchange Firms.
James S. Alexander, president OF
the National Bank of Commerce, in
New York, cautioned against idle
waiting for the public to resume ac-
tive buying, urging business men to
stimulate purchasing by reduced
prices. based on keener efficiency in
production, and the acceptance OF
reasonable margins of profits"
IN this connection" he added, ''the
growing tendency Of labor to become
more efficient and its willingness to
accept some liquidation of inflated
wages is encouraging. The readjust-
ment is favorable to the individual
worker.
Competition for work means slim
ulation of efficiency and stannch in
dividualism as opposed to radicalism.
An abundance of labor permits en-
ployers to chose workmen intelligent
" and coordinate wages to their
proper part in production costs, ia
cilitating the establishment of price
levels best for all.

Beriin.-The premiers OF the several
federated states of the German nation
were in session with the Berlin cab
met over the reparations question, the
meeting being followed with the an.
nOuncement that complete unanimity
prevailed among all the participants
In the conference.
The invitation extended by the en-
tente for Germany to send representa-.
tives on March to the London con
ference on PREPARATIONS is construed
here as indicating that the allies ex-
pect Germany to submit counter pro-
pOsals and that the negotiations at
Brussels by the experts on financial
and economic affairs are therefore
superfluous for the time being.
Leaders of German industry, ship
ping and finance have been arriving
In Berlin for consultations with the

Much Of the press comment in re.
gard to the situation warns the
government against pinning its faith
on the possibility that the attitude OF
the new Washington government will
supply Germany with moral backing.
These commentators urge the govern
ment to present Germany,s case strict
~ on its own merits.
Commenting on the conference OF
the premiers with the cabinet, the
'Tageblatt says the participants left
1t with confidence, that their interests
would be safeguarded at the London
meeting of the allies. The Lokal An
Eeiger, dealing with the disarmament
question, says Bavaria will submit TO
the disarmament requirements, but
the various newspaper commentators
agree that reservations were made as
to disarmament in East Prussia.

conditions in this country, from a

in hue compared to those that pre-
vail in other countries. 1t ought to
make us more cheerful and optimistic
when we compare our worst ills with
those prevailing elsewhere. In fact,
we live in the most favored land the
sun shines on today. Our ills are
light by comparison with the ills of
the world. No one is hungry or cold
in this country as the year begins
or without at least good hope of
eating or growing warm in the near
future. Trade and commerce could
be better but is not very bad at that.
Production is slowing down in spots

nate than our own. The good old
