sentenced to two years.
Use Terror against Workers
Since the arrest and outlawing OF
the Canadian Communist Party, the
little free speech, and freedom of
assemblage that did exist has been
completely done away with. An iron
rule of terror has been clamped
down on all working-class organiza-

The trend Of recent weeks Is accepted
as forecasting more than just the be-
ginning of q readjustment that OBJ
viously had to follow the preceding low
price levels.
One explanation Of the apparent
tagging of business performance behind
business sentiment may be found In the
fact that data concerning industrial
production Is always slow IN coming
through Government and other chan
nels The compilation and interpre-
tation Of reports OF business conditions
necessarily take time. An ever-increas-
ing number of inquiries reaching Gov
eminent agencies, especially the Depart
ment Of Commerce, the Federal Re-
serve Board and the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, indicate puzzled state Of
mind on the part Of the public re-
garding the present upturn Of produc-
ton. Why, these inquirers ask, do Gov
eminent reports Of actual performance
not reflect the improved conditions?
Large numbers Of such inquiries are
coming in from corporations and indi-
viduals who seek information for their
own guidance as to the extent Of the
expanding operations.
The answer is that formal official re-
ports cannot possibly reflect the i'm
provement until several months after
the sentiment has begun to animate
business men generally. Data con-
corning industrial production come into
Washington from all sorts OF sources
and are complied only after being COM
pletely rounded out. Thus, normally, q
Government report on production may
be two or three months behind the
dato to which 1t applies.

Business Is Catching Up
With Better Sentiment
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

After more than seven weeks OF r1s-
ing commodity prices, economists ana
Government observers here are saying
that business performance is really be-
ginning to catch up with improved
business sentiment.
On May %, IL weeks ago, an I'M
official index showed the lowest point
in commodity prices, the lowest since
the depression began. The rise has
been slow but continuous ever since.
The rise in live stock prices has been
particularly impressive, and 1t Is now
estimated by the Department OF Agrl-
culture that more than a billion dol
lars, In paper appreciation at least, has
been attained for the leading agrlcul-
tural commodities. Especially signifi-
cant is the fact that the present en-
hancement of quoted values occurs at
the season when producers are market
ing their goods and can receive orect
benefit from the better prices.
y y
Based on figures collected from vari-
Gus authoritative sources, Government
officials said today that the average
increase in the price of some 81 COM
modities since May % had been slightly
over 20 per cent. The list includes ID
different foodstuffs, textiles, both
manufactured and unmanufactured; 8
mineral products, 3 leather products
and several other miscellaneous items.
This change, coming, as 1t does, when
the production of industrial goods has
fallen of and the performance Of trans
portation and distributing agencies has
sagged, is interpreted as indicating a
probable change In the relationship be-
tween the purchasing power OF the ag-
ricultural classes and the immediate
capacity of the mills and factories to
supply their needs.
For some time retail sales naturally
have been at the lowest ebb in a num-
Der of years and merchants have been
maintaining exceedingly low inventories.
Now It would seem that an end Is ap-
preaching to the hand,to,month policy
Of buying stocks. II is peneveo by Gov
eminent officials that, under conditions
which now appear to be developing,
longer range buying-larger quantity
huying-is again DE to become the rule.

tutions are in process Of change and
what the new forms or standards are
to be is yet to be determined. 1t is not
unreasonable that in these days OF
great changes, religious faith and prac-
tice should be rendered uncertain and
unstable Religious institutions them
selves and the high opponents of re-
ligious teaching have, in more recent
years, betrayed a loss OF confidence in
many of the theories and practices that
they hitherto urged with all insistence.
These conditions Of which we speak are
not unique or peculiar to our age alone.
They have manifested themselves in one
form or another, again and again in the
course of history. The interesting thing
to observe is that, while systems and
institutions undergo changes, never
theless, the foundation Of God standeth

and the reasonable recognition of the
demand of mans spiritual nature per-
sists In the face Of all the changed and
changing circumstances of his environ

STA may destroy the great cathedrals
and temples of worship, but she cannot
eradicate from the life Of her people
those deep and unchanging impulses
that demand satisfaction which religion
alone affords. We would say to the
mother who writes us, and indeed to
those who in these days Of distracting
changes are fearful, hold fast to those
things that in other days and under
other circumstances have been your stay
and comfort. Inculcate in your house
holds those strong and enduring virtues
that are indispensable to wholesome,
satisfying living The teachings of
Jesus have not been superseded by those
OF any modern school nor have the as
surances which He gave been tram
scended by any modern prophet. There
is nothing difficult or complicated about
His message and the wonderful thing
about 1t is that 1t Is adapted to every
age and to every race the world over.
We need supremely at this time quiet
ness and confidence. They will not
come to us because of restored economic
conditions. or the prosecution of "busi-
ness as usual" We shall have quietneSS
and confidence when we return to those
old and simple ways and practices that
in other days and under other condi-
lions have been our stay and comfort.

1892 times In all. Cut this down to

sence and occasional illness, and even
that means something rather significant.
Then there are the changes that this
champion commuter has seen in the
course of his many thousands of trips
to and from the city, changes In the
landscape of New Jersey, the at first
slow and then the rapid spread Of
utilization, and the changes In the
aspect of the Manhattan scene, the rise
in the sky line as viewed from the deck
of the ferryboat. The trains them
selves have changed, from wood to coal
as fuel; the cars were first lighted by
kerosene lamps and now by electricity,
and heated In Winter by stoves, now by
steam. The speed has increased from
a snails pace to swift transit. There
were no motor cars to take linn to the
station, no taxicabs to carry him from
train to Office in bad weather. when he
began to shuttle back and forth.
It was in 1869 that Mr.. Day began

just been ended a few years. Nobody
dreamed Of the possibility Of Spanish
American War or a Great War. The
news that Mr.. Day read in the morn
ing and the evening as he rode back
and forth in the first years was OF
narrower scope than that which now he
scans as he speeds over the line. He
perhaps read then of dreams OF men
w,co believed that some day they might

under way that led to the development

Despite his depreciation of the at
tention that is being paid to his record
Mr.. Day must feel proud Of his cham
pionship, not alone for its distinction
but for the satisfaction Of having lived
to see so much and to have now a
background that permits appreciation
of the advances that have been made
while he has been rolling over the hun
dreds of thousands of miles in faithful
performance Of his daily tasks.

by the other figures included in their
reports.
Their deposits by individuals and
corporations entrusting them with
their funds went up by $4,000, 900.
What happened to the S69,000 900 is
painfully clear. The cash in vault"
Of the reporting banks went up by So
900, 1000 Their reserves with the Fed
eral Reserve banks went up by $780,
0OO, 900. In other words, the new
money gained by the banks was either
boarded by them in their vaults or else
boarded by them in their reserves in
the Federal Reserve banks.
The bankers maintain that they are
loaning whenever and wherever the
loans are justified by business circum-
stances and business prospects. Many
industrialists and commercialists agree
with the bankers on this point. They
insist that loans cannot be made in
greater multitude and magnitude until
the buying public starts buying and
until thus there are business transac-
lions which deserve credit for their
justified development and for their
reasonably assured success. Other OBJ
servers maintain, contrariwise, that a
little adventurousness by the bankers
in the extension Of credit would in
itself tend to produce more selling
campaigns and thereupon more sales.
This difference of opinion is the
core of the debate which will go for

Long ago great teacher wrote: I'm
quietness and confidence shall be your
strength" The application of this to
our present world, with all its confusion,
is urgently needed. Apart from all the
distress occasioned by a universal finan-
cial depression, accompanied by indus
trial dislocation, with all its attendant
ills, there is abroad feeling of uncer
tainty, loss Of confidence in old insti-
tutions, a weakening of devotion to old
ideals and a general feeling that the
foundations upon which we have builded
our house are slipping and insecure. 1t
is curious state of mind and one that
is characteristic of the world at large.
Many of the letters that come to my
desk and many responses receive from
sermons broadcast indicate the deep
concern of highly consistent people, and
suggest shaken confidence in and
deep concern for institutions and sys-
TENS that have long held their place Of
power and usefulness. A letter recently
received from highly consistent
mother illustrates this. She has been
devoted to her church and consistent in
her Christian practice from early youth
up to mature motherhood. She Is the
mother of a fine family and has sought
to bring up her children in the way in
which they should go. Until recent
years. everything has gone well with her
household. Following with consistency
that which she learned in her early
home, she has enjoyed serenity of mind
and freedom from foreboding fears.
Suddenly she has fallen under the spell
of new propaganda that has unsettled
her faith, robbed her of her quiet and
interrupted a devotional practice and
habit of life that has been her stay and
support through long years. She now
wonders whether the old habits and
ways in which she was trained must be
abandoned and whether she must re-
adjust herself and her household to
ways and practices whose only recon-
mendation is that they are new, novel
and popular
This greatly distressed mother Is

Commuter for Sixty-three Years.

That some men have greatness
thrust upon them" is well illustrated
by the case of Addison H. Day Of
Chatham, N j., who Is now acclaimed
the champion commuter. On Monday
he began his sixty-fourth year as a
regular traveller between his home and
New York City, where he has for that
length of time been employed in a
bank. 1t has been computed that in
these sixty-three years he has travelled
no less than $4,000 miles, equivalent
to thirty-eight times around the world.
Greeted upon his arrival at his office
Monday with congratulations upon this
distinction, he declared that he could
not understand why so much attention
was being paid to the fact that he had
been merely going to and from his
work regularly, by the only means at
his disposal. He demurred to the
greatness that had been thus thrust
upon him" He said:
Now, if I had achieved something
big-worthwhile-in my career, 1t
would be something to crow over, but
committing and attending to my every
day business, why, all this fuss about
it is foolish.
It may be foolish, but it is under
standable. For man to continue for
nearly two-thirds of century riding
TO and from his work on railroad
train. while not in itself remarkable,
certainly merits attention, at least for
steadfastness of routine. There Is no
romance in committing. Catching the
same train every morning, six days OF
the week. for 3,276 weeks-thsre is no
record OF vacations, though Mr.. Day
must have taken some-means 1856
times he has stepped aboard the rat
tier to travel northward and as many
times he has crossed the Hudson River
by ferryboat. preferring that means to
! the under-river tube of latter years. and
as many again that he has ferried back
and taken ths. train in Jersey City. o.
