Before the flood-tide Of pros
perity can return" he said, 'invis-
ible Inducements and the pull Of
unseen economic forces must ex-
haust themselves. These forces
respond to laws vital to human
control. II in our vanity we cannot
or will not learn this lesson, II we
still insist upon attempting to op-
pose futile obstacles to the inevita-
bic course Of events and to swim
against their mighty currents, our
folly will be upon u own heads.
Natural Law
1T remains for US TO heed the
principle Of supply and demand. to
govern our actions in accordance
with its dictates, and thereby
hasten the return OF a prosperity
based upon the sound and lasting
foundation of natural law"
Mr.. Whitney made no attempt to
predict when the return would
come, although he did say that
from the perspective Of 1870, the
extreme optimism Of 1929 and the
unmitigated gloom of 1880 and 1891
will appear equally exaggerated and
ridiculous"
Weak and uncertain counsel"
from business leaders have not
helped the present predicament, in
Mr.. Whitney's opinion.
There have been too many suave
statements that reassure nobody.
too many empty platitudes. too
great a lack OF frankness and
realism. too much Of an attitude Of
trying to whistle In the graveyard
at midnight. On the other hand,
the occasion has called forth the
usual crop of calamity-howlers,
alarmists and irresponsible pub
licity-mongers with some personal
axe to grind
Nation Must Learn
Pointing out that supply and de-
mand got out OF adjustment during
and after the World war, through
artificial fixation and control OF
prices. Mr.. Whitney said the ma
ton was still paying the penalty for
such policies and had not yet learn
ed the true economic lessons Of its
val experience.
The price of success Is bound to
be obedience to the law Of supply
and demand" he said Waste can
and should be eliminated, by-prod-
ucts fully utilized. invention slim
ulated and better products perfect
ed. Hard work and constructive
thought. rather than idle lamenta-
tons or the pursuit Of futile pana-
ceas. must be the order Of the day.
All such efforts are In fundamental
harmony with the law Of supply
and demand. They constitute the
methods by which America has
successfully met the challenge Of
depression many times before, and
can meet 1t again."
