cided that it would be fitting for
him to again lead the veterans of
the world war when they go to Paris
for their convention in 1927.
High Legion officials have. dis
cussed the question informally with
General Pershing, but so far as
known he has given them no definite
indication of his position as to &C
cepting the honor He made clear,
THAT he would enter no contest for
the place.

By ROGER W. BABsON.

BABSoN PARK, Mass, July 17.--
The business situation In New Eng
land has been very peculiar Tor the
past two or three years. Reports Of
the Boston Chamber OF Commerce
have been satisfactory and many
things indicated that New England
should be prosperous, but this pros
perity has not been evident. The I'M
satisfactory condition In New Eng.
which we find to be unreal. Person
ally, believe that certain law suits
play q large role in the cause Of New
England's present depression. refer
to the Willet-Sears law suit. the New
England Oil suit, and similar suits
against prominent bankers and bust.
ness men.
The assets Of New England have
never been material, but rather In
tangible. New England has no Ter
tile soil like the Central West, or
bright sunshine like the Pacific Coast,
or minerals and forests like other sec.
lions of the country. New England's
assets have been her integrity, in
dustry and initiative. It was not
New England's natural resources
which built the railroads Of the West;
but rather her thrift and enterprise,
emit men. Enterprise Is a very in
tangible thing and grows on en-
couragement only. When its leaders
are sued or under indictment, their
pep, so called, Is gone and New Eng
land goes with it. What Is true OF
New England is also more or less true
of every section and every industry.
Law Suits Cannot BE Forbidden.
This, of course, does not mean
that law suits should be suppressed
and judges should not convict SIM
ply because law suits hurt business.
Justice comes before everything else
and the courts which render de-
cisions should Command the respect
Of the whole community whether or
not such decisions temporarily hurt
business. / personally. feel that al
the Judges connected with the Willett
and New England Oil cases, especially
Judge Anderson, have rendered o dis
tinct service. The basis OF all pros
perity Is justice. and this we must
have above all else.
am simply making the point that
law suits hurt business and retard
prosperity. Law suits hurt business
by taking mems minds of their real
work and directing them to efforts
which are not constructive. what
America needs today ID to have ousl-
ness men spend more time consuiling
engineers and scientists and less time
eonsulting lawyers and doctors. Law
suits hurt business by undermining
the morale Of employees. This 10 es-
pecially true when One or more or
TN e employees, or q competitor, ts IN
v,,fyed In the suit. Law suits hurt
business by discouraging initiative.

Law SUITS RETARD PROSPERITY
AND HURT TRADE, SAYS BABSON
Business Expert Points to New England as Example
of Effect Litigation Can Have on Conditions.
Many Things Cause Depression.

(such as bank clearings, railroad
earnings and foreign trade. etc. are
purely barometers, and have nothing
to- do with the causes of business
changes. The causes nj business
changes are largely spiritual and
psychological The inefiiciency, dis
honesty and extravagance Of period
OF prosperity causes the depression
that follows; while the righteousness
industry and thrift developed during
a period OF depression prepares the
foundation for the next period of
prosperity. The fact that the larger
number az law suits come in the
latter part Of periods of prosperity is
very significant In this connection.
It is very seldom that Judge Ander-
son or his associates are called upon
in the early part Of a period Of
prosperity to make such q decision
as they did.
I All Of this means that instead Dc
business men blaming the courts for
administering justice, they should SO
conduct themselves that law suits
will not be brought against them.
However. should 9 law suit be
brought against them the proper
then put them In o position where
they viii not lose their cases. When
q man Is innocent o law suit does not
interfere 30 much with his business.
Therefore if law suits are q great
damper on business. should not bust
ness men make q great effort to
so conduct themselves that there will
be fewer such law suits In the fa-
ture? This brings me to the proper
function of lawyers.
Lawyers IN. Business.
Should lawyers be employed i'd
much as they are at the present time
In connection with the making 81
money? The commercialization Of
law may be very detrimental to this
country, surely the lagal profession
Is responsible for q great many
troubles which we have today. Many
men are masquerading as lawyers
when they really are bankers or
promoters. Some OF the great law
firms are not law Offices, but are
really banking houses. repeat that
the aiization Of the legal pro-
fession may be responsible for a
great deal of our financial troubles to.

gagged in telling business men how
