purchase more necessities and luxuries
and for the corporations to expand
their business
Hope TO kvoid SIackening.
The problem today before American
business and, indeed, every individual
American, is how to preserve a high
level of activity; how to continue the
orderly conduct of life and to preserve
employment and to apply earnings SO
that there will be no slackening of the
intricate business machine on whose
activity the welfare of all rests. Mutual
understanding and mutual support and
effect which may be derived from the
activities of the business council which
it is planned to establish will be ex-
ceedingly helpful in the solution Of the
problem.
American business today is not sick. "
1t Is far from it. But President Hoover
and the leaders of American business
are wisely planning now to prevent any
sickness in the future. The job is one
of readjustment to meet conditions aris-
ing after the crash in the speculative
market. The pledge Of industry not to
not to insist upon increases In wages
at this time is one of the most helpful
developments growing out Of the White
House conferences.
Stable Credit Is Factor.
In the present situation there are
many factors which make for business
strength and many of the factors which
made for weakness in the past are
absent. Among the favorable factors
! are the fact that the United States is
now a creditor nation: that credit is
stable in this country and the credit
| system sound; that there has been care
full selection of merchant stocks, sim
| Dlified standards so that fewer articles
have to be carried in distribution, eff
! Gent TRANSPORTATION, 50 there is instant
| delivery. There are no large accumu-
lated stocks and commodities as there
were. for example, in 1921 There are
no inflated commodity prices to threaten
factories with losses as there were
eight years ago..
