occasioned the depression. Most
economists are of the opinion
that the only sure way to get out
of a depression is to clear away
the unsound condition which de-
veloped during the preceding
boom.
Progress of this sort has oc-
CURED to the extent that private
debts have been settled. For
example, a good many mortgage
situations have been cleared up.
People have bought farms and
urban real estate at bargain
prices, thus liquidating old debts.
Then, too, some readjuStment
in prices has occurred. For ex-
ample, the prices of some farm
products have risen faster than
those of manufactured goods.
In general and on average, raw
materials have advanced in
comparison with finished goods,
thus partially correcting mall
adjustment.
To be sure, some question may
be raised as to whether this prog
ress" has been made by unsound
artificial methods. But think
that we can conclude that part of
it is sound and beneficial.
To these points, would add
the fact that popular confidence
in the safety of banks has been
completely restored. One may
argue the question as to whether
the banks are truly liquid, but
the average man considers them
safe. This promotes a confidence
which for the present is desirable.
Aside from these items of prog
ress, the chief points that occur
to me are all negative. That is,
they represent destruction or de-
feat of uneconomic and hamper
ing ideas or policies.
For example, there seems to
be good reason for thinking
that money tinkering is now re-
garded with less favor by the
nuAAAAASOA nGAOAAs hC SOAN-Uuyo
ing policy has been discarded,
and further devaluatiOn seems
to be less likely. The silver
buying policy is not being pushed
at all vigorously, and the ex-
pertinent has finally taught us
that China is not helped, but
hurt, by interfering with her
money.
The NRA has been so changed
that General Johnson says it is
dead. That is mostly to the good.
One of the most notable points
Is that direct price-fixing by Gov
ernment sanction is in the dis
card. (Of course, it should never
have been tried, but if we had
to 60 through the price-fixing
measles, the recovery from it is
welcome.)
Some appreciation Of the draw
backs of the policy of ma
tionalism" is beginning to ap-
pear. For example, Secretary
Wallace has begun to see that

ton growing industry we have
got to sell cotton abroad, which
means that we must produce
more cotton and sell it at lower
prices.
In general, 1 would say that
we have such things as the
above to be thankful for. Per
Sonally, 1 think that we prob
ably have other lessons in eco
nOmics to learn. 1 doubt that
we have sufficiently corrected
the Embellishments or liqui-
dated the debts.
But 1884 can report progress
to 1885. and if we will only un-
derStand wherein the real prog
resS lies, there is reason to hope
that the coming year may be

board cup, which would have be-

the victorious team, still will be in
circulation next year.
More than six thousand fans who
ovcrf1owed the Tech bleachers saw
a rugged Green and White team,
outplayed by the invaders in the
first half, come back strong in the
IiEal period to stave off almost GER

at the crucial points of the conflict
proved the undoing of the Blue
