gerous tendency is to expect too
much of government and at the
same time do for it too little. i

must be attended by individual
prudence and thrift which are so
essential to this trying hour and

Reflection of Wars Reaction
The business world reflects the
disturbance of wars reaction.
Herein flows the life blood of ma
terial existence. The economic
mechanism is intricate and its
parts interdependent and has suf
fered the shocks and jars incident
to abnormal demands, credit in
flations and price upheavals. The
normal balances have been i'm

the penalties will not be light nor

them so. There is no instant step
from disorder to order. We must
face a condition of grim reality,
charge off our losses and start

From Destruction To Production
The forward course of the
business cycle is unmistakable.
Peoples are turning from destruc-

people are turning to resume
their normal onward way. The

go on. | know that Congress and
