try, under guidance of Mexican offi-
cials and see social and economic
conditions at first hand. DR.. Mac
Elwee will be in charge.
Invitations from several European
countries, including Spain, We're ex-
tended by their governments early in
the spring, but owing to distance the
invitations were declined. At re-

The republicans were unable TO fin

Sound Ranking Policy Needed.
Tho danger OF an over-rapid adj
vance OF commodity prices is the
more menacing because OF >the pc-
cuiiar banking situation. Dull bust
ness and huge gold imports have
given our banks stupendous reserve
OF lending power. They could readily
finance speculative boom on tho
Srandcst scale. And while the hard
lessons OF 1920 are all fresh i'm the
minds Of many bankers and business
men the Federal reserve officials
may hesitate to advance discount
rates because OF the unfriendly tenn
per OF the public. II the expansion OF
business assumes greater proportions
early in the next year. good bsntinE
policy Will demand prompt anG de-
cisive action. Unless such action ia
taken the later history OF the revival
may be exciting. but it is likely to be
brief and unpleasant
AS partial offset to the danger
or renewed speculation in commodi-
ties We may count the continued de-
preston OF agriculture. Every bust
ness man knows that the exhaustion
or trade has been far more marked
in those sections OF the country
where finance. commerce and manu-
faciurers are highly developed than
! in the sections which depend pri-
mariiy upon farming. This year crop
yields have been larger than last
year and farm prices are higher.
though perhaps not higher in COM
parison with the general price level
Moreover. the sales OF mail order
houses have been running little
| larger than in the corresponding
months OF 1921. and wholesale mer-
chants report gratifying increase
OF business with consumers in the
West, Middle West and South. 1t
seems. in short. that the farmers are
not so badly off as they wer1a year
ago. But II is also clear that they
cannot give much support to boom
IN 1923. The Importance OF this fac
tor in limiting expansion may be
gauged from the estimates Of the Ma
tional Bureau OF Economic Research.
which indicate that in the decade
i?lo-l9!9 farmers received on the
average one-seventh of the national
income
Europe a Drag.
The present and prospective con-
dition OF Europe is another limiting
factor, though factor OF less con-
sequence and less certainty than ag-
ricultural depression. What the fu-
ture has in store for European tusi-
ness and so far American business
with Europe is matter in which
opinions vary. Recent statistics
suggest slow recuperation in Eng
land. Western Europe and Russi.
On the other hand there is reason
To fear collapse In Germany. More
over. we have done the best we could
by high tariff and policy OF iso-
lation 10 present ourselves from
proftinG by revival in the rest Of
the world. Still the prospects are
that this highly unfavorable factor
in the business outlook will on the
whole not become more unfavorable
barring wars and the rumors OF
wars.
Another matter of large conSe-
Guence is the outlook for the build
ing trades. In most revivals the cy-
pansion OF general business has been
rc-enforced at an early stage by the
letting Of large contracts for new
