III you wsrs 70 study . chart show
Ing the path Of . business depression
you would note its striking resem-
biancs to . weather map outlining
the path Of = storm. Tho present de-
preston was firrt evident In Now
England and has spread southwnrd
and westward until It centers today
in tho wheat growing section OF the
mi1dle vest
New England being the first to feel
tho depression Ia. according to the
great basic law OF aation and reaction,
the first to show signs OF recovery.
From a study OF atatistics 1 am con-
WINGED that the foundation OF funda-
mental conditions necessary for the
period OF Improvement Is practically
complete as far as New England Is
concerned. During this coming year
manufacturers. merchants and bank
ers OF this section OF the country will
struggle with their individual prob
lems. While I do not expect to see
anything like n period Of prosperity
for this section In 1922 l do feel tina,
the worst Is over and that gradual
Improvement will be evident from now
on.
I'm activity the moro important in
dustries are already rejecting a de-
cided Improvement. Tho textile indus
try for instance, which is by far the
most important In New England. is
much buster than a year ago. Activity
in cotton goods for instance is 500
Of normal at present, whereas a year
ago II averaged b0ep. Woolen goods
were operating at full capacity dur
ing the early fall. and are still run
ming near It. A year ago most Of the
woolen mills In this section were run
ming between $3.50 and 40@o OF nor
NAL activity. Fundamentally the tex
tile industry has turned its corner
and Is already in Its period of inn
provement. The executives of New
England face two problems. First. the
fact that the cotton center OF the Unit
ed States Is rapidly moving South.
In 1914, 1S.5o0.000 spindles reported In
the northern states as against 12,2oo.-
900 in the southern section. At pres
ent the report. shows 1s.5o0.o00 in the
northern states, an increase or Sc
and 15,5o0.o00 epindles in the south,
an increase Of over 25po. II the ex-
ecutives OF these northern mills are
to keep the textile center OF the Unit
ed States in the northeast they must
meet this competition.
The other factor that is keeping
them from full operation is rather
heavy imports OF both cotton and
wooden goods from England. These re-
sources OF course depend largely upor
the tariff legislation. The safest way
to meet this flood OF medium pricec
foreign made goods is to increase eff

nciency and produce better quality
textiles in this country.
Tho boot and shoe industry has
also turned corner. and .it4 present
activity Is improving stendily each
month. The shoe men arc also facing
tho same problem M the textile pco-
Ele. The shoe center OF tho United
Stntes IL gradually moving westward.
In 1914 New England produced SO
per cent cf all the shocs ma6s in the
United States. this iecreas sed to AZ per
cent in 1919 and the latest figure
shows that production OF all grades OF
shoes during November. 1921 wue only

cannot help but feel that this COM
petition with other sections OF tho
country present one OF the most SER
ious problems that the New England
manufacturers must produce better
gbods. lower prices, and more efficient
| organizations.
"The paper industry Is experiencing
marked Improvement, but IL now In
| the trough OF slight decline. Heavy
stocks are still proving handicap to
this industry. However conditions are
great deal better than they were q
year ago, and 1922 should be better
than 1921
"The labor conditions In New Eng
land are experiencing considerable
read dtistment. Most industries have
had at least one cut. Tho manuf9c-
turers are also taking the same view. OF
the situation and are doing everything
that fs>. possible TO increase the ef-
fiiciency of their workers. Overhead
costs will decline further throughout
the wear. Reduction OF freight rates
will greatly help New England Manu-
facturers who have a longer average
haul TO their consuming Rnrkets than
any other manufacturingte tenter In the
country. AN in all most or the indi-
vidual plants In New England will ex
perience better business In 1922 than
I'm 1921. The amount OF Improvement
DEPENDS almost entirely upon the at
tltude OF the men In charge.
Fundamental conditions have set
the stage. New England is ready &c
come back. 1t Is up 10 the business
men of the northeast to take the as-
gressiye course and go after their in
dividual problems.
General business throughout the
country is still following the humdrum
elde-wise movements characteristic Of
this season OF the year. The index OF

ness II per cent below normal the

narily marks the low point in tho sea
