SAY OUTLOOK
IS GOOD
Nationally Known Industry
Heads Look for improved
Conditions in Coming Year

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--That
American industry and trade are
on the way to recovery, and that
American recovery will precede
that of other countries. is the con-
clusion reached by Magnus w.
Alexander, president Of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference
Board and an expert observer Of
economic and industrial condi-
tionS.
In an exclusive statement for
international News Service today,
Mr.. Alexander said:
Looks for Boom
"Our country has passed
through similar depressions in
the past and has always
emerged with renewed strength
which has carried 1t to new
heights of achievement. The
natural resources and advan-
tageS of this country are un.
paraIleIed, its industrial system
is in high state of efficiency
though its marketing processes
need improvement, its credit
structure is unimpaired and the
ingenuity and enterprises Of its
people are unsurpassed.
"All these give assurance that
the United States will not only
weather the present period Of
adversely, but that the country
will continue to march in the
van of industrial and social
progress. There is, therefore,
no occasion for pesSimism con-
cerning the future of American
industry and trade"
Discussing the outlook fr o m
the standpoint of finances and
commercial credits, William Fra
ser, president ofs the National
Association of Credit Men, said:
Credit Is Sound
'"The credit position Of the
country is still sound. and
money is cheaper than it mas
been in a long time, despite
the artificial Stringency created
in some quarters by excessive
caution in making loans. Pres
ent low money rates have Gre
ated a condition unusually IA
vOrable for building, the slim.
ulatiOn Of which should be d
prime factor in recovery.

Prospects of a brighter out

issued today by local trade, civic

Citing several reasons for the
end of the depression and the
start of an upswing in the busi-
ness trend, these leaders were
practically unanimous in their
confidence in the future Of Wash
