manifested in the services. The day
was most unfavorable, there being
downpour Of rain throughout the en-
tire morning. Yet, this investigator
reported a large attendance at every
church visited, and in a number OF
these, almost every seat was occupied.
The churches of this city are well
supported also. The amount of
money contributed by them has per-
haps doubled in the past four years.
The salaries received by the ministers
have been greatly increased. while
many Of them are still too low. The
churches have also been liberal in
helping outside interests. No appeal
Is made for any worthwhile enterprise
that does not come first OF all to the
church. This is not said in criticism;
we recognize this as a compliment to
the church, and are glad to say that
the churches respond generously to
these interests.
Unity Is Greater
We rejoice In the growing sense of
unity and the increasing spirit Of CO.
operation among the churches. Our
problems and responsibilities are
largely the same. Much Of our work
can be done together even better
than In separate groups. Many of
the problems of the past have been
solved by Christian people working
together, and many evils have been
gotten rid Of through cooperation. The
positive and constructive wor kof the
church can be carried on in a spirit
Of cooperation Just as we'll as can the
work of opposing and fighting vice.
The churches Of this city during the
year 1923 have been blessed Of God
and the future is full Of hope.

cernible so far as future business is
concerned. About all that can be sadd
OF an encouraging nature about 1t is
that there are some indications Of con-
structive effort to at least define the
problems to be met. The apparent
success of the Austrian experiment has
inclined many to think that along that
line lies the way to solution of the
German mess. The problem is so
much larger and more complicated,
however. that it is doubtful whether
the same method will apply. The thing
that can be said with certainty is that
as long as the European muddle con
tinues it is menace which must al
ways be taken into account in our
own business plans.
So far as the banking situation IT.
self is concerned it can best be de-
scribed as comfortable. The basis Of
credit is so broad that there IS no rea-
son why the bankers of the country
should not be able TO meet the require

1921 was a consequence Of over ex-
panded credit. There has been a vast
food of ignorant nonsense talked

More Trade Necessary

James Farrell. president Of the
United States Steel Corporation, and
one OF the worlds shrewdest and most
competent maritime traders, gave en-
ergetic expression recently to the
need OF Americas developing to the
utmost her secondary" foreign mar
ket. when he said: Our PARTICIPATION
in foreign trade is not now, and never
has been. merely q matter OF prefer.
ence on our part, or even a matter Of
convenience. On the contrary, II has
been matter Of economic necessity.
we must, In any case, 60 on with the
development of our foreign trade e
TO absorb our surplus production"
Abnormal world trade conditions
since the World War have soYnewha
obscured this necessity in American
thinking, but the time IS rapidly Ap.
preaching again when our mistaken
high tariff policy will show its evil
effects on all classes of producers.
One OF the most satisfactory things
one finds TO record OF 1923 Is the good
showing OF the railroads. Good gen
eral business has improved earnings.
and efficient management has reduced
operating costs. Only confirmed Cd.
timist would have had the courage q
year ago to predict that the carriers
would be able TO appropriate in 1924
more than billion dollars to the i'm
provement Of their physical properties.
The result has been that the transpor-
tauon systems Of the country have
met amazingly the heavy traffic bur
den imposed by the country's big
business. It now seems probable that
the car loadings for the year may
reach the enormous total Of so, 900. 900.
an increase Of IL per cent.
In spite Of this good showing, how
ever, the railroad problem continues
to be one Of the serious menaces TO
sustained prosperity Of the country.
Continued harassment of the carriers
by national and State authorities has
produced an attitude Of doubt in the
Investing publc's mind toward rail-
road securities. What Wall Street
speaks OF as the vanishing railway
market" is matter OF serious con-
Germ to all Interested In the business
outlook. The capital structure of all
the railroads is top-heavy with bond
ed indebtedness. In a period of gen
eral business depression this means
certain disaster. 1t has been long
time since even the most seasoned
railroad has dared to go into the mar
ket with stock issue to meet its new
capital requirements. In this connec-
ton It will be very interesting to
watch the result OF the New York
Central's announced intention of try
ing early IN 1924 this method Of re-
storing some sort of proper relation
between its stock and bond capitalize
ton.
