London, May 15.-(Ap)-Com- plrison between the hourishing trade Of the tnitcd States and the depression. in Great Britain, which Ius been subject of frequent ref crcnce in the English press, is fur lh"r emphasized today by pub Ishcd accounts Of the speech at De- troit of Julius Klein, director of the hurcau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Coming on thc heels Of Secretary IloOycrs recent reports, this is calculated to make British commercial mouth water.
 The Financial Times tries 10 cheer its readers by assuring them cdi- tortaHy that there is nothing ncccs- sarily alarming for Great Britain, whose turn will come, it says, add ing:
 "Thnrr is no roasou why the Enitcd States and Great Britain should not flourish st1c hy side: thor" is room for both in the world.

Surely. ii is inconceivable how bust
ness can continue poor with 49,
900, 900 people all fairly well employed.
Therefore, l feel that there is moth
ing to worry about in the present sit
uation, but one may expect a grad
ual readjuStment or coming together
of the stock market and business.
This would be the natural thing to
happen under the circumstances when
such paradox as at present exists.
Volume OF Business Good.
AS stated above. there is no real
difficulty today with the volume Of
business, but the trouble comes that
profits are not up to expectations. 1t
is not what we have in this world
that satisfies us; but whether we
have more or less than we expect.
The manufacturer is today geared
up to handle % per cent to SO per
cent more business than he is get
ting. AS his profit comes from this
last % per cent, he is now not max
ing any money and in many insta noes
is running at loss.
There is a good volume of retail
business today, better than ever be-
fore: but it must be divided between
so many more retailers and the ex-
penses of all of them have increas sed
SO that the average retailer is not
satisfied with the results. The Bah
sonchart measures business in terms
of volumes and dollars. but not in
the terms of profits. Therefore, the
chart represents neither the stock
market, which Is considerably above
normal. nor does it represent the re-
tail business, which is below normal.
The chart is running about nor
NAL today, that is, at / per cent
above normal. If we consider the
stock market as the best barometer
of business, which many claim it is.
although we do not agree with that
view. we would say that business is

shoes, etc.) is the best barometer of
business. and we do not agree with
this theory either, then %e would say
that the stock market is altogether
too high and a crash is inevitable.
If, however, we believe that the best
barometer Is the chart, which indi-
Gates neither rapid improvement in
business nor a panic in the stock
market. then we must look for
gradually easing up in stock market
activity and gradual increase in
general business until both meet on
a half way and common ground. Then
the present paradox would cease.

ceedinclY well with previous years and
IS above the 10-year average; but we
also find that the manufacturers MAX
ing this commodity and the store
keepers selling it are making lit
tie or no money. The question
is: Is the present difficulty due
10 people not buying enough goods,
or is ii due to too great manufac-
turing capacity and too many re-
tailers? I believe very strongly that
the difficulty is an abnormally large
manufacturing capacity and the great
increase in retailers.
Some Marked Contrasts.
Thus it will be seen when studying
fundamental conditions that various
factors, like easy money. tend to make
stock market prices high. while other
factors, like weather. tend to make
manufacturing and retailing profits
small.
As result of these conditions We
today have even higher stock market
prices than in January and poorer
business conditions in many indus
tries and many sections. Stock mar
ket prices Ghe Dow-Jones Averagel
have recently touched an average Of
ia compared with 20 in 1921. while
business in many lines is much poorer
IMAM II was AT that llme.
Statistics show that the spread be
tween stock market prices and gen
eral business has continually become
greater since January up 10 the pres
ent time. OF course, this spread
cannot continue TO increase indef.
nitely without break and collapse
One of these three things must hap
pen:
Three Possible OutiooI>s.
|. An Immediate change in business
for the better with continued and
rapid Improvement until business con
ditions justify the present high stock
market prices.
,. An immediate change in the
stock market situation, somewhat
similar TO a panic, whereby stock
prices would quickly come down 10 a
level justified by present business con
ditions.
;. A gradual improvement in busj-
ness conditions and d gradual easing
up in stock market prices whereby
a closer relationship would be estab.
rapid movements one way or The
other.
Evening Up Process Likely
a study of the situation makes me
feel that this third course will be
the one most likely TO be followed
There need not be any panic with
money as easy and banking conditions
as sound as al present, with gradual
