So They Say

There lis no sound reason why things should not get better. Ev- erything went to a sub-normal ba- sis. The main thing welacked was confidence and confidence is fast being restored.-Samuel M. Vau- clain, chairman of the board. Bald win Locomite works.
 Mere wishing will not revive bus- mess or commerce--Louis Wald- man socialist candidate for goyer- of New York.
 China and Japan can only sur vive when they stand together. A reduced Japan will make China subject to the western predatory powers; chaotic China will waste the econimic strength of Japan.-- George D. Sokolsky, author and student of Far eastern affairs.
 I got quite "a thrill from being way up in the air on the Empire State building. It is very, very high.
 Captain James A. Mollison, trans Atlantic flyer.
 There would be no hostilities, no jealousies, no. cultivated misun- derstandings, no widening breaches between nations, no laundering growis, no rumors of war or no actual war if goodwill existed in the world today.--Rev J. Sturat Holden. St Pauls church, London, in New York sermon.
