NEW YORK, Sept. s.-tFl-The
present business depression "can

today before the Merchants associa-
ton OF New York City.
Taking as his topic trade depres-

asserted that the decline in security
values last fall was not cause OF
the business slump but that 1t was
on the contrary, "the general real
ization OF the downward trend in
trade conditions" which initiated
the break in stocks.
IF the stock market did not
cause the trade depression" he
added. 1T Is clear that the stock
market cannot cure 1t. Many people
still seem to believe that rising
security prices will forecast the
end Of the present period In bust
ness. That may be SO. but before
security prices rise there must be
confidence that business has turn
ed the corner.
Our natural resources are as
great today as they were last year.

DIVER BURIED
UNDER WATER

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9-CP)-
Nick A Danese, GO, veteran diver,
was imprisoned under water today
while ore Of men, including four
other divers, sought to free him
from pilings against which a ire
merdous pressure Of water from
Lake Pontchartrain swept him yes
terday noon.
Intermittent jerks on an air hose
told rescue workers that he still
was alive.
Two hundred negroes worked last
night, aided by searchlights, 10
build a dam to divert water from
the lake and release the pressure
that gripped the diver.
Danese was caught while trying
to stop a leak under pumping sta
ton No. 2 Of the jefferson Drain
age district. He located the leak,
but at the same time another de-
veloped that loosed a swirling tor
rent from Lake Pontchartrain. and
hurled him against and between a
set OF pilingS.
The diver was wearing a helmet.
but did not have ON the usual div
er'S suit and instead Of having his
lifeline tied around his body. was
holding 1t in his hand. The rush.
ing water tore the line from his
grasp. and he was helpless except
for his contact with the upper
world by means Of his air hose.
Other divers assisting in the at
tempted rescue, said that If an eff
fort were made to pull Danese from
between the pilings by the air hose,
water would rush into his helmet.
