where the cotton trade and shipping
are dying out, and where prosperity
depends as to 80 per cent on foreign
trade, how much more easily will
they succeed in America, with her
unbounded resources, her masses of
gold, her lack of dependence on for
eign trade (only 10 per cent?, and
her population of 125 millions which
can trade with each other without
the impeachment of tariffs.
At the moment of writing, how
ever, July, 1884, the American po-
sition is frightening most of her
-wishers. Some trades have re-
acted more than the normal season.
al amount since the spring peak;
government debt is rapidly increas-
ing; the budget is unbalanced; the
wheat crop has failed; employers
complain of the confusion caused
by codes and of their higher costs
brought about by shorter hours.
Workers complain of rising retail
prices; and stockholders are dis
mayed by the policy of control.
The securities act is preventing
revival in the capital industries; and
many observers are beginning to
think that the New Deal already
has failed. They jeer at the failure
of the Presidents imitation, and
there are even whisperings of new
panic and collapse. The public are
stunned and completely perpleXed.
Indeed, kind of paralysis is creep
ing into the minds of economic,
financial and industrial circles.
1t ought, however to be possible
for the economist when surface indi-
cations are confusing, to look right
through the surface of things and
X-ray the major economic currents
below. Let us attempt this task
and try to see precisely what Roose-
velt is aiming at and what his
various actions will lead to.
Some persons, it is true, say Mr..
Roosevelt has no pan, but that he
merely takes the haphazard advice
of the last person he happens to
meet. This, however, would appear
a wrong view. His series of actions
as a whole seem inter related and
sound, although of course there are
bound to be jolts inseparably from
a policy of relief, recovery and re-
form.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-11

end of March; and since then new
reaction has occurred. This has set
public confidence on edge and an
other new slump is now widely ex-
pected. Many think that Roosevelt
has failed, and the optimism of a
year ago has completely evaporated.
A ND yet, if people only knew it,
IA the economic forces favoring
and fostering economic recovery are
stronger and more powerful than
ever.
Indeed the curious thing is that,
although most people, think that his
monetary plan already has been
tried out and failed, and that he has
now exhausted every monetary ruse
at his disposal, the fact is that I'M
til the beginning of 1884, although
there was much talk about imitation,
the total quantity of notes and bank
deposits was not inflated at all. All
the previous results of 1888 were OBJ
tanned, dare we say, by cunning
psychological ballyhoo.
Since January, 1884, however, the
actual imitation of bank deposits has
begun; and this gradual warming up
of the credit machine certainly will
soon bring trade, prices and shares
to higher levels in America.
To understand Roosevelt, how
ever, it is necessary to know some
thing of the theory of money and
the business cycle, for it is on a
theory of money that his plan is
really based.
In England, trade revival was
brought about by the creation of the
following economic conditions
l. Exchange devaluation & 40
per cent?.
2. Imitation of bank deposits e
Is per cent?.
8. The creation of cheap long-term
money 1914 per cent as against 5
per cent?.
All these factors recreated conf
dence, and trade very soon began to
revive.
TN America, Roosevelt Is producing
Il exactly similar conditions, al
though his technique in producing
them has been somewhat different;
and if they succeeded in England,

President Roosevelt headed back
to Washington today with a
threatened strike eclipsing all
others of the New Deal in magnl-
tude, calling for action.
Unless he settles disputed IS
sues within the next few days,
union leaders said that 100000
men and women would walk away
from the looms of the nations
textile mills-and refuse to re-
turn until their demands are met.
While the President has made
no official move in connection
with the strike as yet, two actions
were interpreted as growing out
of the threat.
The first was announcement OF
government cotton loans at II
cents a pound to protect growers
in case mills close down and stop
buying.
The second was amendment OF
the cotton garment code reducing
hours from 40 to SO weekly and
increasing wages 10 per cent. This
was construed as the most favor
able development so far, by strike
leaders.
