BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

To remark that what business
needs is more confidence, sounds
commonplace. 1t is like saying that
tw Oand two make four. Yet the
lack of such confidence is the main
obstacle lying between this country
and full industrial prosperity.
Our sneators and representatives
are resuming their duties in Wash
ington. They will have to face many
propositions offered with the idea
of giving the country an economic
uplift. They should ask regarding
any such suggestion, will it give the
country more confidence, so that
wage-earners will feel that they can
spend a normal amount of money,
and so that business people will
feel like ordering normal amounts of
goods, and going ahead with plans
for needed development?
Our industrial system is built on
the idea that people are going to
have faith in each other, and that
they will show enterprise and am
bition. The country is usually full
OF people who see chances to make
money and who build factories and
employ labor freely, feeling that
there will be a demand for their
products. If these people lose that
confidence, then one of the essen
tial elements that makes our busi-
ness system the best in the world,
is failing to operate.
Anything that makes people hope
full will be helpful, but anything that
makes them fearful will do harm,
even if it is right in theory and
might accomplish good at some la
ter date.
Not merely is confidence needed |
in our country, but it must come all
over the world before conditions |
will be back where they were four
md five years ago. 1t is up to the
national government to take what
steps it can to substitute hope and
for doubt and uncertainty,
wherever the latter sentiment pre-
rail.

AN EXAMPLE FOR AMERICANS

The American people can learn
much by studying the improvement
in the financial condition of the
French nation that has occurred in
the past five years. About five years
ago, the financial situation of France
was considered desperate. The
franc, which originally was worth
19 cents, had dropped to two cents.
For a number of years, the French
were unable to raise enough revenue
to pay their government expenses,
an dthe country seemed ON the
verge of bankruptcy.
Today the French financial posi-
tion seems as strong as that of our
country. The main force that has
accomplished that amazing recovery
in only five years, was not probably
any action by the government.
It was the industry and thrift of
the French peasant and mechanic.
In America many people feel that
the salvation of the country will
come from working shorter hours
and from reducing production. The
French pulled their country out of
its troubles by no such means as
that.
Instead they all worked like tigers
to put their industry on its feet,
an dthey saved their money. They
acquired a national reserve of wealth
that has defied recent troubles.
There is such a thing as overriding
thrift. This has perhaps been done
recently in the United States. Peo-
pie may save so much money as to
dry up the sources of industry. They
Have to spend a normal amount to
keep the industries going.
But hard work and thrift created
the marvellous development of our
country. We can not depart from
those principles without doing our
selves harm. While business has
been sub-normal in the United
States for some time, our people
have kept saving money just as the
French have. Before very long we
shall feel the impetus coming from
the greater security that many fam
lilies are beginning to feel.

HIGHER TAXES
vail.

All elements in Congress appear
to be coming around to the view
that must be raised. The deficit in
the federal treasury will be around
$2,0OO,OOO,OOO unless revenues in
crease before next July. While our
country is perfectly capable of pay
ing all it's debts, such a failure to
balance the budget hurts sentiment.
If city runs behind, and has to
borrow money to pay current ex-
penses, it's financial management is
criticized. If such a city sells bonds,
it does not get as good a price as it
would otherwise. 1t is the same
with the national government.
Some fear is expressed that rails
ing taxes high enough to meet this
deficit will hurt business. On the
other hand, the fact that the reve-
nues were adequate to pay all ex-
penses would be regarded as very
encouraging factor in the business
world, and it would tend to restore
confidence.
The constant selling of bonds
tends to depress the bond market,
and low prices in the bond market
make trouble. Banks that need
cash to pay their depositors have to
sell their securities at a loss, which
leads some o fthe weaker banks to
close, and adds to the feeling of un-
certainty that has made trouble in
the weeks past.
There is money enough in the
country to pay all the expenses is
the government, but the present is
no time for extravaganza. Every
in the government will
have to cut costs. Government en-
ployees feel they are poorly paid al
ready, but they have the advantage
of steady work, which does not ex-
list in all trades. Many of them
could take a cut and still be better
off than average people. AS the cost |
Of living has fallen, it seems legiti-
mate to expect that government
work should be done for less money.

GOOD OLD. WINTER TINE

The good old summer time" is
loved for it's abundant athletic life.
Winter is not so popular, yet it
brings the American people oppor-
tunities quite as valuable as the
sports of the summer time.
The winter is the time when every
society for personal and community
improvement is at work. The wom-
ems club discuss literature, civic
and political development, social
reform. The business mems clubs
talk about business development.
The improvement societies consider
community projects. Dramatic, mu-
sical and other clubs give people a
chance to develop their talents.
Every winter, as the result of all
these educational efforts, our people
attain a new conception of the things
they might do to open up larger op-
portunities. The summer gives us
physical development, but the good
old winter time shows us how to
cope more successfully with life. All
hail to the long winter evening, in
which the people of Delaware learn
much they didn't know before!
Milford chronicle., 1931-12-18

rine becomes more acute. For the
merchant marine is a second line of
defense in case of trouble and, even
with ironclads abolished everywhere,
in case of war the nation with a good
merchant marine, which could be
quickly armed, would have a decid-
ed advantage on the high seas. To
have good merchant marine the
building and operating of ships is
not enough. Our people must pat
rOnize them. Along this line the
Washington Post well said recently:
"The United States now has the
second largest merchant fleet in the
world. In spite of competition in
tensified by hard times, the merchant
marine has held it's place in world
shipping remarkably well. The board
makes a number of recommendation
for improvement of the service, but
all of it's advice leads directly back
to the fact that if American ship
ping interests and travellers gave
American ships a fair share of their
patronage the merchant marine
would Immediately come into its
own. At present the greater part of
this business is handled in foreign

in the days of what they considered
prosperity. For there were no au-
tomobiles then, no radios, and no
electric lights. Houses were poorly
lighted and poorly heated. Travel
ing was difficult, the roads were
poor, entertainment was limited ex-
cept in the larger cities, and there
were no telephones for easy COM
munication.
The American Banker recently
we'll stated editorially:
Our forefathers, who built the
country, were accustomed to rely on
themselves. The Pilgrims utilized
their own energy and initiative to
get them through that first winter.
A little more of these same three
qualities will get us through the
coming winter better than a thous-
and panaceas."
Milford chronicle., 1931-12-18
ISN'T THIS SOMETHING?

The Hawley -Smoot law lays q
duty of $500 a hundred on live hogs,
admitted free under the Democratic
Underwood bill. Over a period of
80 months prior to the passage of
the Hawley-Smoot bill the average
price of hogs in Calgary, Canada,
was 54 cents per hundred pounds
below the price in Portland, Oregon.
In March, 1881, after the new tariff
law had been in force nearly year,
the price in Calgary was 1921 and
the price in Portland was $S12. And
yet there are those who argue that
the American farmer derives no ben
eft from the tariff.

HATRED OF PREACHING

If someone writes a novel or a
play the purpose of which is to ap-
plaud fine traits of character, it is
likely to be denounced as "preachy. "
People say they do not wart to be
preached at. They do not want to
have their ways criticized, nor do
they wish to be told how to make
themselves finer and nobler.
There is a great desire nowadays
to see the crooked side of life. Peo-
pie want to hear all about the evils
of the world, to have it's sins spread
before them, to see what mean, wick
ed and detestable things people are
doing. They do not seem so much
interested in fine, noble, and heroic
acts.
knowledge of the world, which
usually means a perception of its
meaner aspects, is considered chief
ly desirable now 1t is the fashion
to scoff at the virtues that have Gre
ated human progress.
Fortunately this decadent spirit
seems likely to be a passing phase.
Underneath all modern sophistica-
ton, there is something in human
nature that admires nobility of char
acter and generous and helpful acts.
The world will get tired of knowing
how all the crooks and gangsters
and low down people live, and it will
want to know more about those who
are. lifting people out of difficulty
and opening up new doors of oppor-
tunity.
1t will not be so much interested
in those who are going down hill, as
in those who are climbing up. The
fact that the churches of Delaware
were never so we'll supported as they
are today, and that in spite of COM
peting ways of spending time and
money, a preacher with a message
always gets an audience, would
seem to show that the hatred of
preaching is not so deep seated. If |
it had not been for preaching that |
stirred people to throw off the |
wrongs and tyrannies of Europe, and !
better country in a new
land, America would be very diff
ferent place today.

ON SHOOTING THE PIANIST

William Allen White in Emporia
Gazette: Since March 4, 1929, when
Herbert Hoover stood on the front
steps of the White House and swOre
to enforce the laws and maintain
the Constitution of the United Stat
es, every mean thing possible has
happened to this country. Came the
dawn Of the DEVILS own day. Drouth,
depression and calamity upon calam-
ity rose up for which he had no
more responsibility than he has for
the wind rthe tides. AS a result,
this country is in a sad way and so
| is the world. 1t is a phase of the
war. We don't organize and murder
ten million men on this planet and
put out of commission fifteen mil
lion more and saddle fifty billions of
debt upon the world, without conse-
quences. Wars of that magnitude
do not stop when the boys cease fir
ing. The late war will be going on
pretty well through into the 194O's
when Hoover is gone from the White
House and his successor is in his
secon dterm.
But Herbert Hoover has done in
this great emergency the thing for
which he was sent of Heaven.
He kept an even keel at the White
House.
He has organized the world for
peace.
He has cut down taxes as no other
president has ever cut them down.
Under his counsel and at his sug-
gestion, the hourly wage scale of la
Dor was maintained even though the
annual wage was cut down by the
depression.
He did all that could be done,
which was precious little, in the
world wide crash of agriculture, to
stabilize agricultural prices.
He has kept a bankers panic from
devastating the country in time of |
He has organized the latent credit
of the land in one ministering cor
poration.
Under an organization set up by
his leadership in every American
city funds are growing into the
of millions of dollars to
furnish emergency work for every
American this winter.
And his latest act is to further
that latent credit into a
lome building corporation to put
ife into the building trades.
Everything that man can do he has
lone. He has done it bravely. He
las done it wisely, with an intellect
lal honesty that shrank from dema-
sogy. History will mark him for a
great figure in this world of these
lines.
1t is the American habit to shoot ;
he pianist when we don't like the
empo or the tune. Now is a good ,
ime to break the habit. For heav- :
ms sake gentlemen, quit shooting
he pianist, he is doing his best. t
And let the dance go on. t
