Thoroughly optimistic over the
business outlook in Imperial VAL

future here in brighter than in most
parts of the country, j. r. Robert
son, local Buick, Oldsmobile and
Pontiac dealer returned today from
a combined business and pleasure
trip which took him as far east as
Shreveport Louisiana.
II was surprised at the satisfac-
tory business conditions I found in
the SOUTH" he said today. Most
of my contacts were with automo-
bile men, and they all reported that
business was showing plenty of ac-
tivity, principally in used and small
cars, though the larger cars are al
so in demand.
However, business men in gen.
eral and farmers seemed to have
the same spirit of optimism. They
are confident that the corner has
been turned and that business is

Thanksgiving Gay, Its origin and
the ways in which it is celebrated,
formed the theme OF the talk given
by Rev. w. E. Malan for the XII
wants club at their meeting this
noon in the Barbara Worth hotel.
The speaker pointed out that the
first Thanksgiving day was set
aside to give thanks for what today
would be considered rather insig-
nificant blessings, shelter and
enough tc eat He added that each
year the nation has much more for
which TO BE- thankful and that
everyone will find that the sum of
his blessings is far larger than his
reverses.
THE Three of Us" Miss Laura
Redden, Miss Mary Baker and Miss
Edith Eicke, popular trio, sang two
songs appropriate to the occasion,

used vivid sarcasm in portraying
the present trend of the administra-
tion.
The statement follows, in part:
What we need in this country is
absolute dependability in our money
standards. 1t is the only thing
which will restore confidence. The
latest fiscal moves of the admins
tration have undermined public
confidence. They have created un-
certainty.
Uncertainty paralyZeS business,
discourages private initiative, drives
money into hiding, and places the
entire burden OF sustaining the po-
pulation on the central government.
We are told that there is new
theory Of government abroad. 1t is
the theory that the executives are
uuarter-backs ON a football team
who do not know a minute in ad-
vance what signal they will call
next. They determine the plays on
the basis of lunches.
of course, this is just another
name for opportunism. There is
nothing new in it. 1t never pulled

Macdonald and Herriot Conferences
Here Cast Doubt on London Parley

historical or contemporary political
ouarrels, could not, in private conversa-
tions, arrive at more than the vaguest
and foggiest generalities, what hope was
there left that the representatives of 66
nations, divided by every conceivable
political and racial issue. could make
larger progress in London? That was
the invariable interrogation.
Fails to Have Columbus Luck.
The fact that the debt question was
not formally discussed that neither
Macdonald nor Herriot carried away
any specific assurance on this matter,
was doubtless one of the causes of dis
appointment. but it was by no means
the most important. Beyond all else
the visitors came to discover what was
to be the policy of the United States
in the ell-important matter of cur
rency stabilization and they left still
in the dark. AS one Frenchman re-
marked: "Herriot was not as lucky as
Columbus-for he failed to discover
America"
In so far as the Europeans in wash
ington are concerned-and that applies
alike to the transient visitors of recent
weeks and the diplomats regularly as
signed here-it must be said then that
the outlook for London is one of ut
most pessimism. And that pessimism is
the direct consequence Of realistic ap-
praisal of the results or lack of results
attending the recent conversations. All
the good will gestures made on both
sides-and made with undouoted sin
cerity in every instance-were not ac-
companied by any agreement, however
provisional, upon a program for action
at London.
Macdonald, therefore, returned visi-
bly, weakened politically, since his prior
excursion to Rome was not counterbal-
anced in Washington. Herriot brought
back nothing to prove he was right and
the Chamber wrong when it voted him
out of power on the debt issue. And
while both men were away their gov
ernmentS proceeded along courses which
resulted in erecting still further barriers
to progress at London.
Put bluntly. as the main object of
the Washington conversations was to
re-establish international confidence
and lay the foundations for co-opera-
ton between the three nations most
important in the world of the present
moment and as no such result was
achieved, unofficial Washington counts
1t failure, while official circles limit
their claims to the emphasizing Of the
value OF enlightening contacts and en-
larged mutual condolences
Looking back to the preliminaries
OF other postwar international con-
ferences which have observed at close
range, the preface to the London Eco
nomic Conference recalls disquietingly
the circumstances Immediately preced-
ing the Genoa gathering of 1922 and
the Arms Conference of 1932-the first
OF which ended in immediate disaster,
while the second has SO far marched
unchecked from crisis to crisis. >,,.
