This does not insure, however, against
temporary setbacks; 1t does not prevent
the adverse results Of experiments in
economies which develop no profit: IT
does not make impossible conditions OF

culture and other industry: nor will 1t
forestall from time to time a general
pause IN our business progress.
Scans Future Carefully.
The most significant symptom In
business today Is a disposition to scan
the future a little more carefully. This
has not proceeded to the point Of pes
sinism. Its most extreme expressions
at this time do not proceed beyond eau
ton. Forecasts OF the future are being
made a little more conservatively. While

since 1877. AS the country grows larger

needed and negotiations are being
made for a large tract Of land. The

ously effective Americans-the humil-
ity-provoking notion that even the most
erudite think in fractions most of the
time The Secretary of Commerce gives
an impression of one going somewhere
without much fuss, but with lot Of
resolution.
Secretary Lamont has as chief lieu
tenant DR.. Julius Klein. former direc-
tor of the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce. Dr. Klein Is an
economist Of no small attainments. He
knows Boston and Bangkok. He is a
skillful publicist-and trade promotion
depends heavily upon successful pub
licity.
DR.. Klein has never permitted his
enthusiasm for business promotion to
suffer the b!ighting effect of contact
with the lock-steps Of governmental
routine. Though now long in the Gov
eminent service, he retains freshness Of
viewpoint and he has escaped dog
matism. Possessing PROFESSIONAL quail
fications himself. he has nevertheless
chosen to associate with the hard
boiled of the business species. He can
with equal facility address a conclave
Of university doctors or one OF Journey
man plumbers-and get his stuff across
with both.
Most valuable Of all. however, as an
aide to Secretary Lamont will figure his
knowledge OF governmental practice
both in the matter of inter-depart-
mental relations and in dealings with
Congress. No departmental executive
has been more successful In creating
a favorable impression on Capitol Hill
DR.. Klein has really exhibited genius
