NEW 10-The reaction which place general
business activity 1914 following the declaration
still remembered large majority Of the people
that the the actual advances
Ethiopia had their psychological
securities
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-10-10

1t is we'll that we review condi-
tons as they were in 1914 and the
conditions which exist at present in
order to get clear view as to what
might be expected to happen in this
country under present war condi-
tions.
First, we are today a creditor ma
ton, whereas in 1914 we were
largely debtor nation We had
few investments abroad at that
time, whereas we have many now
The nations involved in the con-
f1ict in 1914 we're important cred
itor nations at that time and had
large funds invested in this coun-
try, the withdrawal of which de-
tracted much capital necessary for
business in this country at the time
Foreign Balances Small
Today the warning nations have
relatively small amounts invested in
this country, so small, in fact, that
it may be considered nil. The with
draWal of these funds would not
throw the financial and credit mar
kets of this country into a panic.
The second important factor is
the status of our foreign trade. In
1914 we were dependent to a large
extent upon our exports of raw ma
terials such as wheat and cotton.
Foreign trade at that time was a
much larger proportion of our total
national business than it is at the
present time. AS result of the de-
preston in recent years our foreign
trade has fallen to very small
proportion of our total business.
The recovery which we have had
during the past two years has been
based almost entirely upon domestic
activity. Our foreign trade has re-
manned more or less dormant Of
the total foreign trade that is car
ried on today, compared with that
of 1914, finished products comprise
a comparatively larger proportion of
the total and our exports of raw
materials have declined relative to
the total
Capital Plentiful.
Third, the capital available in
this country for investments is I'M
usually large at the present time.
Thus it seems that the amount of
money that will be brought into
this country in the form of gold
imports, due to the unstable con-
ditions abroad, will not have any
material effect upon conditions. 1t
will simply mean a further build
ing up of excess reserves, where
they are already SO high that it is
difficult to find investment for
them.
In view of the favorable supply
demand conditions of our industry
today, it seems that the additional
stimulus that might be afforded by
increased exports of such raw ma
terials as cotton may benefit bust
ness activity in this country to some
extent. AS the demand for cotton
increases the price will increase and
the income received by the cotton
farmer will be improved.
This will naturally have a benex
fetal effect upon the demand for
manufactured goods, and thus our
business, which is today mostly do
nestle in nature, will continue up
ward. This will be true as long as
the conflict remains localized
affair concerning only Italy and
Ethiopia. Should it involve the
more important nations of Great
Britain, Germany and France bust
ness activity in this country would
be adversely affected.

To Cover 800 Issues

This service would cover total
of some 800 issues and would be
fast, accurate and dependable, the
committee states. But for the plan
to become operative it will be neces-
sary for a substantial number of
member firms to state their inten-
ton of becoming subscribers.
The committee, on the basis of
data in hand, has informed men,
bers that the cost per member firm
will run somewhere between $50 and
500, depending on the number of
subscribers.
1t was plainly stated by the COM
mittee in its letter, that the Ex-
change would refrain from going
ahead with its projected plan unless
1t was assured that the number of
subscribers would be sufficient to
pare the cost for such service to
level below 500 a firm.

In Operation Several Years

The stock quotation system, which
keeps the current record of bid and
asked quotations, in other words,
the prevailing market, has been in
operation for several years and with
complete satisfaction to members.
This service also is maintained by
subscription and operates from
central room on the fifteenth floor
of the Exchange Building. Mem
bers are in direct contact by pri-
vate telephone. Aside from a
number of operators who work the
private wires this orvice requires
the services of some 100 quote"
boys on the floor.
Each Of the quote" boys is re-
sponsihle for the quotations on a
given number of stocks, and as the
market for a given issue changes
the boy covering that stock imme-
diately flashes the change to the
central quotation room, where the
new quotations are registered au-
tomatically on a monitor board.
