A Business Prophecy

A Substantial increase in business
activity" may be expected about
April; this is the opinion of the Har-
ward University committee on econo-
mic research.
The deduction is made from the
study of a long series of business
depressiOns and rises which reveals
that, after each slump such as those
of l10sk and 1907, the rise begins
froa a@to II months after marked
declRe in interest rates. In the
present instance decline in interest
rates began in May, 1921.
1t is an interesting report, and en-
couraging in its way, though only
bearing out what has been pointed
out many times before, that like all
phases of life, the economic trend is
in cycles.
The promised relief, it may be re-
marked, will mean very little to the
optimistic individual who sits down
and waits for it. But the man who
begins now, or has already begun, to
set his house in order, who practices
industry and thrift and gets just as
many points of contact as he can with
the rising tide of business, may hope
for much.-Palm Beach News.
