Detroit, Mich, March 18.-R-
Business men were described Wednes-
day by DR.. Julius Klein, assistant
secretary Of commerce, as free from
economic shell shock" and "panicky
psychology" while business climbs up

Depression has reached or passed
its bottom, DR.. Klein told the Detroit
board of commerce, although I'VE may
bump along for q while In returning
to higher trade levels.
I'VE have had enough OF arm wav-
ing hysteria. whether In q delirium OF

business has, mentally speaking, step
ped off the swooping roller coaster
and Is basing its plans on the solid
realities. x
The available statistical record for
February shows that business in that
month underwent q normal seasonal
improvement from the low levels Of
January. This Is pretty good evidence
that the long decline has at last been
halted, and that an appreciate degree
Of recovery Is in sight.

the depression Is behind us Is not to
be understood as foreshadow1ng a
sharp and sustained advance from
present levels back to normal. A
brisk, spectacular ascending squirt
might not be an unmixed good, even
in the rather unlikely event that 1t
should come.
I'VE are in the convalescent stage
after q prolonged economic illness.
We should be well satisfied, I think,
if our improvement is gradual at first
lest we suffer another relapse.
I'm all conservatism I may say that,
unless important breaks should &C.

markets, it seems likely that activity
In the second quarter Of the present
first quarter Of the present year will
slightly exceed that of the first
quarter, and that business in the
fall will be Enthusiastically on the up
grade.
Klein cited increasing output Of
automobiles, enlarging orders for cot
ton goods, and increased industrial
employment during February as signs
of betterment, while he added that
promising political developments in
Europe and the far east also have q
significant bearing on the situation"
