BUSINESS NOT so BAD

Sentiment i'll business circles is
unfavOrably affected by certain COM
parisOns which fail to give a fair
picture of our industrial situation.
In studying the statistics of bust
ness, it is customary to compare
the figures of the current year with
those of the two preceding years.
When business people compare their
figures of business done, with the
trade figures of 1929, they see a large
falling off. They rush to the con-
clusion that the business situation
is bad. This excessive pessimism
affects their point of view, and ex-
aggerates whatever depression may
exist.
Business in 1929 was very alb
normal. The country was lifted to
a height of artificial prosperity that
was hollow and unnatural and
bound to collapse. It's situation
was much like that of the man who
should claim that his income and
spending power had been increased,
merely because he had borrowed a
lot of money and thereby had in
creased his bank balance
In 1929 the commercial world was
borrowing from the future. People
were buying heavily as the result
of imaginary profits they thought
they had made in stocks. Many con-
Germs were running at an exagger-
ated rate of production because they
had sold excessive quantities of
goods on the installment plan.
There is such thing as business
becoming so very good in appear
ance that the situation is dangerous.
When people anticipate their wants
for coming years and buy year and
halfs supply of goods in one year,
some year will soon come when they
will not be able to buy even a full
years supply.
People should compare their pres
ent results, not with those of the
abnormal boom year of 1929, but
with the more ordinary years that
preceded it. If they would do that
they would sdicover that the present !
conditions are not so depressed as
they have thought, and they would
go ahead with their plans for ex-
pansion with more confidence.

AMERICA AND WAR

Some people think that the ha-
treds and fears of Europe will break
out inanother war before long. They
perhaps do not grasp the fact that
it takes vast amount of money to
fight war, and that all the Euro
pean' powers are very poor. Also
the United States would be very un-
likely to lend money to any of
them for fighting purposes.
The opinion is widely held, that
if war does break out again in Eu-
rope, the United States will again
be drawn in as it was before. Our
ships. and travellers might be at
tackled on the sea, and our country
might have to stand up for their
rights.
Yet it seems unlikely that the
United States will ever again send
an army to Europe. Conceivably
our navy might engage in warfare
with the ships or submarines that
attacked our ships, which would be
a purely defensive measure. But as
for sending armies to Europe to at
tack ay existing power, it seems in
conceivable.
Our people as a rule do not regret
what they did to put down the old
kaiser's government in Germany.
That government was the worst
peril that the world has developed
since the days of Napoleon Bona
parte. But our allies in the recent
war have not always shown common
sense and conciliatory spirit, and
from now on the United States will
not take an active part in their
quarrels. 1t will cooperate with
them heartily to promote world
peace and prosperity, but as for IA
voring any one nation at the expense
of some other, it is not likely to do
anything of that kind.
The United States needs a rea-
sonable sized army and navy, so that
no. power will think it can step on
us. However, with our secure posi-
ton behind two great oceans, across
which it would not be practicable to
send an attacking force, the Ameri-
can people will not be much favor
able to increased expenditures for
defensive purposes.

MEN IN ALL
BOUTS
BY JACK DEMPSEY
(FOrmer Heavyweight Boxing
Champion of the WOrId)

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 10.
My showing here last night con-
cluded my present tour. have
been on the road since the first
part Of August and have boxed
in about 40 cities and met some
where in the neighborhood of $50
opponents. I am elated with the
progress that have made and
most thankful for the way I
have been received in every city
along the line.
OF course a tour such as mine is
more or less nerve-racking; Sleep
ing in different beds each night,
travelling on trains, eating diff.
ferent foods and without exactly
the proper conditions under
which to train, one is more or
less handicapped.
Faced Good Foes
I have carried no Sparring
partners. All negotiations for my
appearances, closed through my
manager, Leonard Sachs, have
forced me to be confronted with
different opponents in each city,
most of my opponents having
been the representative heavy
weights of the particular city in
which I exhibited my wares.
Considering that I have been
out of the ring for four years, I
feel have done remarkably well.
especially with my younger
opponents who have been active
and who I believe prepared faith
fully for their contest with me.
MY plans are still indefinite,
but I will say that if I progress
as rapidly during the next few
months, when I intend reSumlng
my tour, as I have the past few
months, will be ready and will
ing to take another whirl at the
game that I love so well and
the game that has afforded me
an opportunity to make thou
sands of friends as well as for
titled me financially for the days
to come.
Visits Mother
Leonard Sachs, my manager,
and Jerry the Greek, my trainer,
are accompanying me to Sail
Lake, where I will visit with mJ
mother for Christmas. will
then proceed to Reno, my home.
and will remain there until about
January 10, resting and condi-
tioning myself for the resumption
Of my tour.
If everything goes along nicely,
I will box before the public un-
til some time late in March,
after which I will take a rest,
then go into a strenuous train
ing grind for what might pre-
sent itself some time late during
the coming summer.

The letter quite accurately rep
resents the trend of sentiment
among thousands of footballs
devotees.
Here in the District of Co
lumbia," the banker writes: And
in the region that you call the
South Atlantic section, natural
rivals refuse to meet each other
in football.
1--WE discover that one college
has nOnSensicaI ambitions. An
other seeks hOnOrS in the South
ern Conference. A third under
takes a pretentiOuS schedule Of
international games for 1882. A
fourth is driven to desperation
because of the alOOfnesS Of its
three neighbOrs and seeks games
wherever it can find them. All
four could help the game of
football wonderfully. by playing
games with each other.
"Why do these four teams re-
fuse to meet each other?
"The answer is plain. At least
three of the four refuse to con-
slider their neighbOrs worthy of
recognition or friendship; the
fourth, denied even the common
rights of a neighbOr, has no
alternative but to go into the
highways and bywayS to book
games.
"The South Atlantic, which
properly includes Virginia, North
Carolina, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, turns to the
Southern Conference.
"YOu, as a sports writer, know
full well that it is not possible,
by legitimate means, for the
schools Of the States mentioned
to reach the degree of football
perfection attained by Alabama,
Tennessee, Tulane, Georgia,
Georgia Tech. Vanderbilt and
schools of their caliber.
"Of course, there is a way
for the schools of Maryland,
Virginia and North Carolina to
meet the competition created
by Alabama, Vanderbilt, Ten.
neSsee, Georgia, ct al. That
way is to employ the very
methods which have brought
football to its present sad state
of disrepute as an arm OF edu-
cation. =.

colleges in Maryland, Virginia
