Briton Says Prospects

 General Workers

LONDON, Jan. 2-I would not des- cribe world prospects for the new year as bright" There is lack of agreement and unity. The govern ments and leaders in many countries are taking a narrow view of world interest, and common well-being suf- ferers because of continued conflict

 America and Britain could destroy such plan without excluding from their friendship other nations ready to join with them for world progress.

Civilization in Flux,
 Senator Walsh Thinks
By SENATOR DAVID |. WALSH, (pemocrat. of Massachusetts.l


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The year 1923 dawns with civilization in state of fluX.
 The gravity of the present crises in the worlds affairs was never more manifest Stupendous difficulties and dangers circumvent society. Cross currents and conflicting tides make for much uncertainty as to the exact direction toward which the world is drifting.
 There never was greater need of eadership-sound, sturdy, courageous leadership-that will really work for productive and creative ends. Unless ively to bring peace, disarment, stab ively to bring peoce, disarament, stab ilization of exchange and finances to the world, and at home to elim- mate the waste and excess spread between the producers price and the laws of supply and demand for profit making purposes to the detriment of the working classes through unem- ployment and irregular wages the civilization that we know will have collapsed, and all other questions will be of no moment.
 While planning to eliminate waste of war, of life, of health by malnu- triton and unsanitary conditions, Of human possibilities by under-educa- tion and of production by unemploy- ment above all let us eliminate the waste of time in dealing with the supremely urging questions of the day.
 May 1923 reveal the leaders with intellectual and moral courage to tackle the realities of today and who will pilot humanity to a safe port where goodwill, mutual understand ing, peace, prosperity and happiness reign!

 cred by hundred of millions of dol lars the burden of taxation frightened, amicable relations established with the whole world and more prosper ous condition inaugurated at home. This Administration will continue to go forward with new successes this year if the people give it the moral support necessary for successful ven- lures.
 If the individualists are endorsed and their policies, first of obstruc- tion and then destruction, are fol- lowed, the nation founded on differ ent concepts is sure to suffer. Lin coin wisely said: "You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time" It is during that period which hitherto has been of short duration when you can ''fool all the people some of the time" that trouble comes to the Republic. It is just such a period as we are now passing thru.
 Such a time as the present de- mands the most earnest considera- tion of our national problems by right-thinking people and this is es- sential if our institutions are to be preserved.

By CHARLES H. SABlN, Chairman of the Board, Guaranty Trust Company of New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The year 1922 has been, on the whole, per iod of reviving business activity and strengthening of the bases for the resumption of general prosperity in this country. This broad develop ment is a continuation of move ment which began in 1921, following the drastic reaction in the latter part of 1920 and the first part of 1921.

More over, should the recent rate Of ln- crease in average commodity prices be continued, the resistance to the advances may fairly soon result m so hesitant an attitude on the part of the consumers as to arrest the expansion of general business. :. Not all the difficulties of the read iustment necessitated by the World War and it's aftermath have been met We shall need particularly to guard against any attempt to find short cuts to prosperity by meas ures that impair the bases for en- during economic betterment.

PEACE is BY-PRODUCT
OF RIGHT LIVING, SAYS
DR.. EDWARD GR|GGS'
Nations In Savage Stage Of
Civilization, Noted Lee
turer Declares

Peace among nations is like hap
pincss for the individuals; it is a
by-product which usually comes
through right living" said Edward
Howard Griggs, well-known speaker
now Occurring at the new John Her
bert Phillips High school. Wednes-
day in discussing the League of Ma
tons. Or. GriEgs declared that ma
tons at present were in the savage
state OF civilization, corresponding to
the time when men used to carry
weapons and each man was law
unto himself. With the development
OF civilization men banded them
selves together with organized vigil
lance committees for the purpose o.
curbing lawlessness, and then came
legally constituted authority in or
ganized governing bodies, he said.
and this is the stage which nations
must reach before wars will cease
to occur.
1t is a shame that the United
States could not have entered the
League of Nations as one of the
leaders. instead of sneaking in at
the back door as she eventually is
pound to do. DIR. GriEgs declared.
"However. the matter was made
partisan political issue by members
Of the republican party in order that
when the United States should enter
world court the republicans could
lead the way and receive credit for
the undertakings
DIR. Griggs said that he had been
in Birmingham many times before
his present trip, and that he had
MANY warm friends here He praised
aude nces here, saying that they
were especially responsive. and de-
clared that Birmingham retained the
hospitality of the old south COM
bined With the progressive character
Of the new west to n greater extent
than any other southern city.
In discussing the subject which
held more interest for him than any
thing else, DR.. Griggs said that his
ultimate purpose was to inculcate a
cultural desire into the mind of the
hurried business man of America fof
some of the better things of life
which may not be obtained through
success in business. He said that the
makeup of the average American,
but was buried under the artificial
veneer OF new world civilization.
For the last 20 years DR.. Griggs
has been travelling all over the
world, delivering thousands of lee
lures to audiences which have num-
pered we'll into the millions. He also
has written number of books.
