ECONOMIC OUTLOOK BRIGHT SITUATION
 SAYS SEC. HOOVER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 1S.- The odds are favorable to 1924" says a statement of Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, in a review of conditions during the past years and a discussion of economic pros poets for this year.
 "Our country has exhibited extra ordinary strength and progress" his statement says in conclusion. "The oasis of healthy activity lies in bal anced budgets, stable currency, high 7.roduction, accompanied by propor- donate consumption and savings with an absence of speculative extravag-- ance and imitation. These things we aave in the United States
 Not only is "the economic outlook in our own country for this year bright" says MT. Hoover, but in gen. .ral the world situation is hopeful.
 ..The German collapse has in less degree affected every part Of the world. The decreased consuming po- yer of Germany and of the other s+2tes most affected has contributed 10 the low price levels of food prod action power of Germany and oi the other food exporting countries. The decrease in her coal and steel produc- ton at first gave some stimulous to the production of other countries, but this is now offset by decreased buy ing power of the depressed area for other commodities. One other effect Of importance has been the undoubt- tul substantial flight of capital from many of the states in this area of de- nression to the United States, result ing in further excessive accumulation of gold here The economic world has not yet felt the full impact of the occupation of the Ruhr. Were it not for the hope inspired by the initia- ton of negotiations for settlement of the German problem the situation would be most unpromising for the future.

EUROPE IS HAVING
 TERRIBLE WINTER
Unusually Severe Snow and h.
 tense Cold PredOIninateS

London, Jan. l0.--G usually severe st orms accompanied by intense cold and heavy snow are sweeping Europe this winter. of the coasts of Spain and France the disturbances have proved a serious menace to shipping, while in the North sea and in Scan- dinayan water the ice foes are so heavy that navigation in many places is difficult. ,..
 Not in many years have there been so many casualties from aNalanches in the Swiss and French Alps. Heavy rains in the lower passes and foothills of the latter mountains have contrib uted largely to the Marne and Seine floods in France.
 England is also suffering, although in lesser degree. The cold in this country is severe and there is much snow especially in the midlands and in the north. The fail in southern England has not been great, but nevertheless sensational newspapers have proclaimed many of the storms as bizzards.
 Wind. snow and rain over all of western Europe have seriously de- layed telegraph communications. Cn- iii o'clock this morning no press dis patches had reached England from Spain in more than A hours.
