Outlook Good

Richmond, Dec. Robustness in
the United States "has turned the
corner" following the panic" of last
fall, and in 1880 it will be "as good,
OF nearly as good as in 1929 or
1929, James j. Davis, secretary of
twenty-frst national convention of
labor, said in an address today to the
Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, now in
session here.
When the stock crash came last
fall' said Secretary Davis, industry
seemed to flatten out. People be-
heved panic was coming on, and
let me tell you, there was one on.
All sorts of people talked to Presi-
dent Hoover and urged him to let
the crash come. But the president
didn't let it come. He extended the
arm Of the government and talked
to the business leaders and asked
them to do little bit more.
"We have turned the corner-turn-
ed the corner with three million men
out of work. We're on the go now
and 1880 will be as good, or nearly
as good, as 1929 or 1928. That is
because we have in the White House
man who was not afraid to take
hold at time when his country look
ed as if it was going down the road
to hard times"
