Local Distributors of Big Firm
Receive Letter Telling of
Many Gains in Trade

In connection with conditions
in the radio industry, Southern
Wholesalers, Inc, local distribu
tors for Atwater Kent radio, to
day received the following state
ment over the signature Of A
Kent:
"This country has passed
through many periods Of de-
preston, during all of which
most companies suffered a loss
of business, and many Of them
suffered a loss of profit. That
is something to be expected
and therefore anticipated dur.
ing the more prOtracted periods
of prosperity.
Perspective Lost
"Only those who have lost
their perspective or who have
not taken past business history
seriously enough to be guided
by it, it would seem, are now
unduIy pessimistic and alarmed.
"RadiO as a product and radio
as an advantage to humanity
will compel its continuance as
a major industry. For my own
part 1 view the prospects in
radio, and those developments
which. radio Is bound to offer,
as entirely favorable to every
branch of the industry.
"ThiS is of course. predi-
Gated upon our ability to keep
ourselves in position to do an
outstanding, concentrated job
when business again assumes

less assured that the trend is

Grosuenor Achieved. Fame
As Educator

tional Geographic Society is the
success that it is.
More than 20 years ago DR..
Grosvenor, even then recognized
as an authority on geographical
data, was invited to come to
Washington as head Of the Ma
tional Geographic Society. He
accepted, and upon his arrival he
discovered a half office room, one
clerk and a publication in debt
on which to start work.
From that small beginning, DR..
Grosvenor has built up an organ
ization that has a membership
near the million mark and that
employees more than $50 persons
in it's Washington headquarters.
There is not a spot hardly on
the entire earth that has not
been visited by some member or
correspondent of the organization.
It's members are scattered in all
corners of the world.
DR.. Grosvenor is a globe trotter
of renown and has had far more
of adventure than the average
man receives. He was born in
ConStantinople, where his father
was a teacher in Robert College.
High honors were given him
when he graduated from Amherst
College, where he later received
his masters degree. In 1921 he
was awarded the honorary de-
gree of LID. by Georgetown Uni
verSity.

TREASURY.
DEFICIT DUE,
SAYS MILLS
Treasury Official, in Speech,
Raps Plan to Pay Bonuses;
Would Hit ReCovery,He Says

NEW YORK, Feb. II G.N.SD.
A deficit Of not less than $780,
100000 faces the Government at
the end of the present fiscal year
June 30, Undersecretary of the
Treasury Ogden L. Mills declared
today in a talk before the bond
club.
Mr.. Mills advised against either
cashing or increasing the loan
value on veterans adjusted SER
vice certificates.
Predicts Bond Drop
Pointing out that at the be-
ginning of the new year there
was some restoration of conf
dence and that the market for
long-term funds was improving,
Mr.. Mills added:
"Then the country suddenly
realized that Congress was Sc
riOusly considering the borrow.
ing and distribution of huge
sums. The price of Govern
ment bonds dropped sharply,
the bond market went flat.
This is a sample of what may
be expected if we are forced to
issue bonds in any considerable
amount. But, once this threat
is removed, / am hopeful that
in a comparatively short time
growing stream of investment
funds may begin to appear,
which, transformed into capital
expenditure, will lay the foun.
datiOn for a gradual business
recovery"

j. :. WILL FACE
S100,000,000
TAX DROP
March Income Will Increase
Treasury Deficit; Corpora
tions Pay Less Revenue

Best information available to
Treasury Department officials at
present relative to March collec-
tion Of income taxes indicated
today the first installment on 1880
incomes would be from $425, 900,
600 to $46O, 100000, compared
with $500, 100000 for the same
period last year, and $601, 900, 900
in March.
Treasury experts maintain a
list of about 500 or more principal
corporations which pay the bulk
of the corporation taxes by study
of the annual statements Of these
corporations officials get some
idea of the probable tax pay
mentS, through comparison with
the taxes Of previous years.
Picture Not Favorable
Study of the selected list Of
corporations this year gives any
thing but a favorable picture of
the probable tax collection.
Many Of the big organizations
which have paid the Treasury
millions in the past will pay little
or nothing on 1880 incomes: the
taxes Of others will be diminished
greatly, while some will show a
deficit and therefore have no tax
able income.
Taxes for the fiscal year will
not be reduced by the percentage
of cut during the last six months,
inasmuch as during the July 1-De-
cember 81 period collections were
on the basis of record incomes
of 1929.
On the other hand the first
half of the 1882 fiscal year will
show a large decrease, taxes be-
ing based on 1880 incomes.
Must Know Figures
1t is important that the Treas
ury know as early as possible ap-
prOximately what to expect in in
come taxes because of the neceS-
sity of arranging for the size
of the March Is issue of secur.
tiles. At that time $1,1OO,OOO,O 900
in 3H per cent Treasury notes
had been called.
In addition to providing for
sufficient funds to meet the
maturity, the Treasury mast
arrange for cash, including that
anticipated" from tax and other
collections, to finance the Gov.
ernment until the June IS tax
payment and refinancing period,
The call for the bills was made
at a time when it was not antici-
pated the question of another big
security issue for payment or
additional loans on the veterans
adjusted service certificates would
be raised. 1t was thought the
31a per cent notes could be- re-
fused at lower rates.
This will not be the case, Of
ficials said, if another loan, tax
ing actual cash out of the mar
ket, becomes necessary for the
bonus operations.
Present indications point to an
even larger deficit than was pre-
dicted by Secretary Mellon when
he told thG Senate Finance Com
mittee that expenditures would
exceed receipts by about $S75,
600. 900.

Cheering Reports

OHccFlHS ncpOFCS
Reports of cheering nature
were brought to Washington to
day by Thomas w. Brahany of
Crane Paris and Company, in.
vestment bankers and brokers'
after a brief business trip tC
New York.
Executives of investment houses
with whom Mr.. Brahany con,
ferred in connection with busi.
ness matters impressed him with
the optimism with which they
view the present economic Situa.
tion and the outlook for the
future.
Many interpret the upswing OF
the stock and bond market in
recent days as an indication of
what may be expected in the
business world.
Market Is Barometer
The stock market, they pointed
out, has on numerous occasions
in the past acted as an accurate
barometer of future developments
It has reacted in either a bearish
or bullish manner long before the
business world in general.
Other students of the situation
call attention to large money
reserves which have accumulated
in the past few months.
They also state that in their
opinion a large percentage of
offerings on the market recently
have been made by bears and by
others filling shorts.
Many investors who bought
stocks of the most sound offer,
ings have withdrawn them from
the market and placed them in
strong boxes confidently waiting
return to true values.

THAT HOLIDAY
FEELING

HUST before Christmas
they all felt so tired.
They had been busy doing so
much-shopping, keeping up
with work that had to be
done, making buildings and
nies, cranberry jelly.
Oh, there was so much for
every one to do around
Christmas time.
Every one was busy with
something or other-rushing
to get everything finished In
time.
And every one felt tired.
But just as Christmas APP
preached 1t seemed that new
strength entered into each
one. 1t was the beautiful
holiday feeling, the feeling of
joy and gayety, of thankful
ness for friends, Of thankful
ness for home, of rejoicing
for families.
The tired feeling drew
away into the background. In
its place came the holiday
feeling-the feeling of good
will to all, Of peace and of
contentment over the lasting
possessions belonging to
mankind-the possessions on
which one could never put
price.
That holiday feeling brought
all that was good into the
foreground.
No one would have missed
1t for anything In the world.
