YULE BUYING AIDS
TRADE CONFIDENCE
White House Cites Figures
in DisCIaiming Decrease
in Purchase Power.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

I. &, With an eagerneSS borne of a desire
to refute any psychology of hesitation
in business that may have resulted from
the recent stock market decline, admin
istration officials are bouncing upon
every bit of information and statistics
that throw light on the business stu
alton.
~ What happened in November is con-
sidered particularly pertinent. The as
sumption is that if the stock market
losses were widespread it would be re-
fiected in a diminution of retail buying
But the figures for department store
sales throughout the IL Federal Reserve
districts actually show a slight increase
There is no denying that the increase
would have been substantial under ordi-
nary circumstances, but qualification is
expressed that November, 1929, more
than held its own with November, 1928
The figures on Christmas buying are
pointed to by ~ White House as a
sign that the country has not at all
been shaken by the recent crisis. In
fact, the volume of holiday trading is
ahead of last year.
Some Stores Show Big Gain.
In many cities the reports indicate
that some stores show a substantial in
crease in business. The belief is ex-
pressed by the experts here that the
buying power of those who speculated
in the market was undoubtedly affected.
but that relatively speaking the whole
country averaged up as well as last
year on buying power. It is pointed out
that many Of the people who sold their
stocks at profit before the decline are
undoubtedly buying luxuries and that the
large number who saved their money
and did not speculate are proceeding in
al foc hi IN CT hal
Incidentally there are some skeptics
who will not be satisfied as to the true
effect of the stock market situation
until the unemployment figures for De-
cember January and February are at
hand. The figures on unemployment
are always difficult to get because there
is so much duplication in the reports
and some persons familiar with unem-
ployment statistics insist that while
some industries will lay off men the
total unemployed is going to be less
than year ago. 1t was one of the
phenomena of the prosperity period
that unemployment reached its peak
then notwithstanding high dividends.
The most important piece of news
with respect to the business situation
is the notable increase in construction
contracts during the first week in De-
:. peinber, the average for 81 Eastern
States, according to Secretary Lamont
of the Department of Commerce, being
we'll over the figure for the same week
of last year and also higher than the
previous week.
Record Year Indicated.
There is every evidence that construc-
ton is going to have record year in
1880 and that much of the labor laid
of in the radio and automotive indus
tries will find its way into construction.

mtttee, framing amendments 70 the

fniniStra ton would continue to build the

Taking issue with what he termed as
the Republican theory that agriculture
could be placed on an economic equality
with other industries by revising upward
some of the farm rates, Hull declared
that this "barefaced and belated sug-
gestion ignores the fact that crops
planted to nearly 20 per cent OF all
tillable lands derive and can derive
either no appreciable tariff benefits or
none at ALL
He added that the notion of equal

Hull said he favored speedy repeal of
the flexible provisions OF the law, while
the Republicans would not only retain
but expand them to give more power

BANKRUPTCY CRIME|
 BEING WIPED OUT.
Crooked Business Failures Cut
 One Third Since 1925

New York. March 25.-The vigor- ous war on bankruptcy crime being waged by organized business throughout the country is appreci- ably reducing the number of dishon- est business failures. according to stephen l. Miller. executive manager of the National Association of Credit Men.
 Dr. Miller said today that this form of commercial thievery has been decreased by nearly one-third since 1925, when manufacturers, wholesalers. jobbers and bankers put a nation wide business police force into the field to.combat it.
 He said that the number of sus- picious bankruptcies reported to the association for investigation has dropped off steadily. year by year for the past three years. indicating that the punitive efforts Of the credit men are being felt strongly.
 "The deterrent effects of credit protection work. produced by sen- tencing hundreds of business crooks to prison. is serving to keep business clean by instilling fear of punish mcnt in potential wrong-doers, he said.
 Tt is not necessary 10 put all dis honest business men in prison in or der to wipe out commercial crime. I believe that every time a bankruptcy crook is. sent to prison with a sub- stantial sentence, dozen other frauds are prevented"
 He said that the credit mems staff of counsel, accountants and investi- gators up to March 1 had exposed credit frauds in which 637 crooks have been convicted, that 619 in- dictments were awaiting court action and that 932 cases which have not reached the indictment stage were under active investigation.
 Although the number of dishonest business failures is found 10 be de- creasing in the face of strong oppo- sition by organized business, Dr. Miller said that the need for con- tinuing the credit protection move ment IS stronger than it was four years ago, when business men and
