The Business and Fiinancial-Past and
Future by John Grant Dater-After
A Careful Study Of Conditions

and IN some instances even more
80. and the fact that nothing clears
up definitely vs. responsible IN part
for the reservation and qualifica-
ton OF opinion on the part Of ex-
pert observers when u comes 20 a
discussion Of how much longer the
hoped-for recovery may be deferred
And conservatism and caution IN
respect TO predictions has been I'M
posed upon many Of them, also by
The disagreeable memories Of their
recent mistaken judgment. There
were exceptions, Of course; instances
where writer's on financial and eco
nomic conditions were not misled
into the belief that the outrageous
dehauch Of overtrading and over
speculation was n manifestation OF
true prosperity, and who were cour-
ageous enough 70 predict the col
lapse months before Il materlalized.
But these exceptions were few IN
number and unhappily, many i'm
portant bankers did not compre-
bend the situation and granted cred
it lavishly long after It should have
been curtailed.
Why Deflation Came
II the contrary was the case II
the banks Of the country-Federal
Reserve, National, and State-had
exercised the proper restraints up
on credit during the witches dance
in 1919, the country would not have
entered upon the era Of deflatiOn
and liquidation with bank loans ex-
panded to the largest volume ever
known, and II such n huge proper
ton Of these borrowings had not
been effected upon a basis of ficti-
tiously high prices and distorted
values, the economic read justment
would have been the more speedily
accomplished. To what extent, pre-
cisely, the loans Of the banking in
of the country had been
distended before the processes OF
deflation set in is difficult TO say,
for il is only possible to obtain a
statement Of banking
resources and liabilities once a year.
The latest figures--those Of June
30, 192l-were made public by the
Comptroller Of Currency on Octo-
Der 3lst last, and from these the

ing the war may be Appropriated.
From the statement It appears
that the loans and discounts Of all
the reporting banks in the United
States on June 80, 1914, aggrega-
ted S15,2Ss.357.00O. and on June

crease during the seven-year period
of Sl3,656,351 900 or 1888 per
cent. Between June 80, 1920, and
June 80, 1921, the loans and dis
counts of the National banks alone
have contracted S1,S42, 100000 and

banks and trust companies, saving

The following carefully prepared
article IL worthy Of the close read
ing and study of every business
man M well a. the farmers and
laboring men, II being n ccnscrva-
tive review Of conditions as they
seem 10 exist 40 this time;
Although the year 1921 was Civ
en- over to economic adjustments
and corrective processes, and al
though something Of real import
ance was accomplished In that di-
rection In the marked improvement
that has taken place in the condi-
ton surrounding capital and cred
h, II Is not too much 10 say that
standing now upon the threshold
OF the year 1922-financial and
commercial observers are nearly, II
not fully, as perplexed regarding
what the future has in store as they
were year ago, or as they have
been at any time since the indus
trial reaction set in. This is clear
ly enough indicated in the tenor Of
the articles and symposiums Of opin-
ion bearing upon business and fl
nance contained in the annual re-
views and forecasts which made their
appearance in large number around
the beginning Of the year. While
sounding a more hopeful and en-
couraging note, in the main, than
twelve months ago, the views of
the experts reflected a wide diver
gence of opinion and their predic-
tons regarding the all-important
question Of an industrial revival
were, as a rule, qualified and made
contingent upon other things.
Qualified Optimism
That economists Of worldwide
reputation, college professors, stu
dents of financial and commercial
phenomena, and other trained OBJ
servers, including leading bankers,
important manufacturers, influen-
tial business men, and experienced
railway executives should differ in
their conclusions regarding the fl
nancial, industrial, and economic
future is not, Of course, surprising,
for the problems which confront
the world to-day are many and
manifold, of great c0mplexity, and
of far-reaching application. What
really is surprising, or, more prop
erly, perhaps, what really Is un-
usual in the situation, is the con-
tinuance without change for so long
an interval of many disquieting
and unsettling factors. Some Of
them have undergone a slight mod
ification, no doubt, or lost some
of their disturbing force, but it Is
difficult to recall many Of the first
Importance which were present in
the situation at the time the armis-
tice was signed, more than three
years ago, that have reached fin
al and satisfactory adjustment.
In the meanwhile new problems
have arisen as vexatious as the old,

year for the entire country The
accomplishment Of a deflation a.
vnst ~ this without forcing an In
dus,rial collapse has been tho one
great achievement of the year chat

Liquidation Corrective
But there are two features assoc
cintod with this matter which should
not escape attention--the one, that
such huge contraction would not
have been necessary II loans and
discounts had not bee inflated in
Ordinately In the first instance, and
the other, that liquidation, with all
IL disturbing consequences, Is a
corrective and not constructive
development. That liquidation has
resulted, ms IL always does, In an
improvement in the conditions sur
rounding capital and credit, Is, adj
mittedly, the case, and II is true,
also, that such an Improvement ia
one Of the perquisites of for
ward movement. the other essential
being a complete restoration Of con-
fidence. But II is clear that the
relaxation in interest rates, which
has stimulated the bond market
and which has encouraged Wall
Street in the hope Of better things
in the near future, has not been
achieved without cost. And, more
over, there is no assurance that
liquidation has run its full course
as yet, but, 10 the contrary, the ac-
ton Of some Of the larger indus
tries in the closing month Of the
year would seem 10 indicate the
probability Of liquidation and read
justments still to come.
Money is easier and credit is
more readily available for high
class borrowers now than year
ago, but the improvement has been
accomplished at the expense Of in
dustry. The country, ms a whole,
is poorer now than il was a year
ago, and it was transacting small
er volume Of business, both domes-
tic and foreign, nj the beginning
of 1922 than at the inception of
1921. The former is attested by
the largely diminished bank clear
ings, the slump in railway gross
earnings, the rapid accumulation of
idle freight cars. and the marked
contraction in the output Of iron
and steel.
