FINANCIAL OUTLO0KIS
 IMPROVING
Confidence Practically the One Thing Needed Now to Reestablish the Ma. tiOn'S Resources

New York, Feb 2S.-Stating that perhaps We are nearer that normal turn of events than most people realize, and expressing their belief that confidence is the most needed commodity in the present situation leading financial authorities point out that "our trouble today is at least 50 per cent psychological" As factors justifying confidence. they emphasize that i've have the means to reestablish confidence and once reestablished the nations resources are compact and mobil- ized and immediately available for business expansion" Some of
 these means they cite as: The fact that the major banks of the country are in a strong licGid position. A That, despite 1-2 years of de-
 precision, the credit of the Ameri-
 can government Is still the highest in the world.
 That we are in the final phase of the many readjustments which this country has been passing
 through in the past four years. The marked ability of the stock market to withstand one adverse developments after another ana itS definite resistance to psychologi- cal upsets and fears.
 They believe that the probable | advance in commodities, particu-
 larly wheat and cotton, in the March-April period, may "com-
 pletely turn the spiral of falling
 prices and. inasmuch as this rise is expected to occur from natural causes, it will have that perma- hence and faith which all previous | legislative enactments have failed l to produce"
 | They also look for constructive developments soon in relation to
 debts and tariffs which will be fa-
 vorably appraised by the stock | market

AMERICAN WOMAN
| HONORED IN JAPAN
Gets Highest Acclaim as
Poem Is Selected for I'M
periaI Reading Ceremony.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Even Japanese poet would consider
he had reached the pinnacle of his
career were he to receive the honor
which is to be granted to a quiet little
American woman, Mrs. Charles Bur-
nett this week
poems in Japanese will be read at the
| imperial poetry reading ceremony to be
held in the phoenix room of the palace
at Toxic.
Mrs Burnett is the only foreigner
whose literary work in Japanese has
been so honored. And she and DR..
KurtSinger. a German professor at the
Toxic Imperial University. are the only
nom Japanese who have ever witnessed
the ceremony.
Ceremony 1,100 Years Old.
Japan gives very high place in
its national life to poetry" she says.
Japan even recognizes it to the ex-
tent Of keeping a bureau of poetry.
Since the ninth century this ceremony
of the imperial reading has been held.
Everyone is permitted to submit
manuscripts in a contest previous to
the reading. Then a commission of
scholars is appointed to pass on the
entries and Gull out poems for the
reading.
The ceremony is very colorful and
dignified affair attended only by the
emperor, the empress. the empress
dowager, princes and princeSses of the
blood, high court officials and very
small group of the nations poets. The
poems of the commonerS are read first.
Then as climax poems written by
the emperor, the empress and the
empress dowager are read.
"The custom is survival of the old
New Years day poem when every one
in the nation communicated with his
emperor through poetry. The emperor.
in turn, could pour out his feelings
nearest his heart through poetry to
his people.
Theme Is Designated.
Each year a theme is designated for
those wishing to submit poems. Last
year 4O305 poems were submitted and
only five were chosen for hearing.
The metric form is also limited to
the "upa". a classic form holding
place which corresponds with that held
by the sonnet in English. The "upa"
has 81 syllables in it, five to the first
and third lines and seven to the Sec
ond, fourth and fifth.
Further. the form must be written in
a classical japanese tongue related to
modern day Japanese in about the same
manner that Chaucerian English cor
responds to the English we speak. To
write in this classical form Mrs. Bur-
nett had to learn an entirely new
vocabulary.
Her position in this foreign nations
literature grew during the three periods
in which her husband, Col. Burnett,
was stationed at the American embassy
at Toxic as military attache.
She has written three books of
Japanese poetry. The first was trans
lation of the poems by the famous En-
peror Meiji and his empress. The Sec
ond and third contained original poems.
the last named "Kumo- o-Kaoiyi". or

Proving The Theory

The young Duchess of York, tiring of repeatedly pouring tea into small teacups f O r her family and guests, purch ased some larger cups, holding nearly a pint. The simple ob- ject was to save herself a lot of unnecessary effort in refilling cups.
 But it so happened that news of her sensible utilitarian pur- chase got abroad and all the elite and others who could af- ford it hastened to do likewise.
 Fine for the cupmakers and dealers and what a splendid justification of MT. Darwin s famous theory!

Jefferson's Warning
 Against Banker Control

That too far-reaching con trol by bankers of the national currency is fraught with dire danger to the people was for seen by Thomas Jefferson is disclosed by the following wise and far-seeing statement from his pen:
 If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency. first by imitation and then by deflat.on, the banks and cor porations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers, conquered"
 However much one may de- plore the widespread bench ant for denouncing bankers as a class, disclosures of the inside operations of the banking in terests in recent years have shown clearly that Jefferson was right. Not all bankers were involved in the deplorable financial explorations which have been declared by compe- tent Investigators as the basis of our present economic dis tress. Indeed only very small number of them can be rightfully charged with impli- cation. But it has been dis closed beyond question that powerful banking interests have for years virtually dictat- ed the issuance and distribut-
