The care with which plans are
laid for the Crandall Christmas
celebration for the children in all
of the Crandall neighborhood
houses may be judged from the
fact that they are begun as early
as August Of each year. The ex
tent to which this years merry
making will be carried in the
Stanley Crandall houses may be
estimated by the fact that con-
tracts were let late last summer
for the delivery OF four tons Of

HERE IS ANALYSIS OF
81 'UATION IN GERMANY

Sometl ing akin to a panic has
resulted in business circles from re-
ports that this years budget will
provide for a $2OO,OOO,O0O increase
in taxation, already twice as heavy
as before the war. 1t is said that
a further tightening of the tax
screws will unleash national tenn
pest.
Some of the presidents visitors
have suggested that Germany has
been too conciliatory in meeting al
lied demands, especially when al
lied competition is considered. as
for example the dumping of French
iron and British coal on the Ger
man market. Some German indus
tries, like dyes, nitrates, potash.
chemicals and brcweries, are still
--~--'-- lg but there is constant
d trend to industrial shares
l: t..e brouse.
There were in November and De
cember an average of 1900 failures,
Il jump of about 500 per month
above the Dre-war figure; while ap-
plications for moratoria-disguised
bankruptcies-totalled 1000. 1t is
admitted that many of these are
mushroom growths of the initiation
period and ii is estimated that 5000
more initiation banks and about
three fourths of the present auto
mobile concerns must go under be
fore the recuperation process is com
pleted. This creation if an econo-
mic scrap heap is destined, i'll the
opinion of MANY, to increase fur
ther the tremendous unemployment
