Storekeepers will be interested in a
new showcase which appears similar
to the usual display case from the

1t Is made In two sections. In the
front section the shelves and mirror

ton. There are parts of the agricul-
tural industry that have not recov-
cred to the extent of industry as a
whole.
But outside of a very few commod-
tiles there has been steady and
rapid movement of all goods from
raw materials to the hands of the
consumer and consumption is apace
with production. There have been no
apparently large accumulations of
goods.
There are very definite differences
in our present economic position in
the business cycle as compared with
the situation prior to the collapse in
1920. The government index shows
wholesale prices are today about so
per cent below the crest at that time.
This index shows an increase in
wholesale prices of per cent in the
last nine months contrasted with a
rise of 20 per cent in the nine months
prior to the collapse in the 1920 boom.
O O O
Increases in prices are a necessary
accompaniment of business recovery.
They are the vital stimulant to pro-
duction."
Four lines of defense are available,
said Mr.. Hoover, and behind them
prosperity can be entrenched indefi-
nitely. First, the Willingness of our
people to save their enlarged earn
ingS, to resist extravaganza and
waste, to give full individual exer-
ton.
In the second line he placed the in
dividual business man, with his well
developed sense of caution and re-
sistance to the will-o'wisp of higher
prices and over-expansion and circu-
lation."
Because "the danger point arises
when there is an over-ordering of
goods" which ultimately cripples the
credit machinery of the country, Mr..
Hoover would place credit men and
bankers in the third line.
And in the fourth line, the most i'm
pregnable of all, would be entrenched
the factor which, Mr.. Hoover said,
would be sufficient alone to defend
prosperity against overthrow-gen-
eral comprehension and unity of ac-
ton on broad phases of commercial
strategy.

Official Declares

NEW YORK, May S.-The prosper
ity America is now enjoying can be
made permanent if the business men
of the nation exercise confidence and
caution rather than timidity. Herbert
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. said
tonight before the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. in annual
convention. He declared the present
business health was by no means an
augury of approaching hard times
His address was made after Julius
II. Barnes, president, had outlined the
chambers program for settling do
mestic and international problems;
Rata Fujyama, president of the Ma
tional Federation of Chambers of
Commerce of Japan, had predicted a
future of friendly and cooperative
amity between this nation and his
own, and Representative Albert John
son of Washington, chairman of the
House committee on immigration and
naturalization, had forecast the fur
Their restriction of immigration by the
next Congress.
Note of Caution.
During the last few weeks there
had been distinct note of caution at
our rapid industrial recovery" Mr.
Hoover said. Il have shared in this:
but some have gone SO far as to fear
that we are entering a period of in
tlatlon or danger of collapse.
Caution is the greatest safeguard
to our continued prosperity, but eau
ton need not be timidity nor exclu-
sion of confidence and courage
We have no need to go into a pc
Rod of initiation. We are undoubtedly
in a plane of prosperity. and we wish

after being bought off by the Peking
authorities. The opinion was ex-
pressed that there can be no stabil
ity or order in China until there is
central government strong enough to
protect foreigners and punish out
laws.
Unless Chinese officials show their
ability to deal with the brigands who
wrecked the Tien Tsin-Pukow En-
press 1t is probable that foreign
powers. including the United States
Great Britain. France and Japan,

to protect their respective nationals.

Officials here show a disposition.
however. TO give China chance to
make good before resorting to such
an extreme measure. China. it is
explained, is a friendly sovereign
power. and to send an army to pun
ish her nationals would be a viola
ton of sovereignty. Therefore. If
Chica can preserve order she will be
encouraged to do so. But failing.
outside Intervention is certain.
The way is already paved for this.
Not only are China's finances regu-
lated by the powers and an in
ternational bankers consortium, but
an international police force now
guards the Picking Tien Tsn railroad.
Furthermore. the leading powers
maintain small armed forces to guard
their legations. These measures
were taken after the Boxer rebellion.
Now 1t is doubtful whether they are
sufficient and the powers are seri-
ously considering demanding the
right to take further protective
measures. They have always hest
tated to extend heir control over
Chinese affairs, preferring to nurse
the Picking government to point
where it would be able to stand on
it's own feet. But thus far it has
never been strong enough to demand
the LOYALTY and support of any con-
siderable portion of its citizens.
Hence banditry has become a recog-
nized and widely employed means of
livelihood. Leaders of bandit bands
have often been promoted to respon-
sible positions in the Chinese army
when they became powerful to the
point where they threatened to take
over the government.
The Chinese minister Alfred SEE. is
due here Wednesday morning and is
expected to confer with Secretary
Hughes during the day Although
the legation said no cables had been
received from Peking. it is probable
that explanations to be made to the
United States will have arrived by
Wednesday.
