but almost all the indexes examined

that would indicate that this trend

believe economic facts are available
(which throw considerable light on the
issue and which provide an answer
quite satisfying to some people though
not to others. We all realize, of
course. that those involved in the
present national political campaign
are anxious TO prove or to disprove
the causal relationship of the New
Deal program to business recovery.
Among the most significant facts to
be considered are the following:
Recovery has been practically
worldwide. although it has begun at
different dates and has proceeded at
varying rates in the different coun-
tries. Thus the particular form of
government of country. or the par
ticular brand of program of partic-
ular government. could hardly have
been the determining influence There
seems to be room FOR arguing that
this or that measure of a government
may have hindered or facilitated re-

| covery. but the fact appears inescspa-
BILE that recovery has been worldwide
and has been no respecters Of govern
ments. f III
A second fact to be considered with
respect to this general business re-
covery is that the United States has
recently been ranked as fourteenth
in the extent of national recoveries
by MIR. J. A. c. Avenol. Secretary
General of the League Of Nations.
This position of the United States may
or may not be significant.

the closer students of business cycles.
find little difficulty in explaining this
fact of general business revival II is
a fairly elementary truth among BUSH
ness cycle theorists that iquidations
viii. in due time. run their course
and generate the forces of recovery.
Many business recessions and depres-
sions in the leading nations of the
world have run their course in ap-
proximately three years. after which
the factors making for sustaining
recovery began to function rather
freely.
II is interesting to note that the low
point in our productive activity was
two years and nine months after the
recession began in October. 1929. and
that the low point in wholesale prices
was three years and three months
after the October collapse. We find
interesting parallels after the crises
of 1907. 1893. and 1873. In each case
the low point was reached approxi-
mately three years later. Sustained
recovery did not get under way after
the 1929 collapse until 1850 period
OF almost six years. Sustained re-
covery began FIVE years after the
panic Of 1907. and six years after
those of 1893 and 1873. These parallels
may or may not be regarded as acci-
dental.
1t seems better to think less Of what
governments do or do not do and
more of what millions of people DO in
their efforts to save themselves during
a recession. to adjust themselves dur
ing the depression. and to expand
their activities when the readjust-
ments are completed. The details of
these, processes are numerous but
they are to be found in the persistent
and determined efforts of millions of
people to make living.

SLOT MACHINES

Thousands of unemployed in
Florida COLD have jobs if the
$50, 200, 100000 lost in slot ma
chimes could go into the cOnstruc-
tive channels of business. With
millions of dollars added to the
business of Florida, the grocery
man, clothing store, building
trades, transportation companies,
automobile dealers. garagers, fill
ing stations, contractors, furni-
ture store, department stores, life
insurance company, and many 9TH
ers, could put on more employees.
Most of the money that is lost
in the slot machines of Florida
goes into the pockets of twenty
big slot machine racketeers. If
these millions were distributed
among thousands of business
firms; then these firms could put
or more employees.
Employees in every county are
also working to secure a referen;
!um and vote out slot machines.
When their coilpany gets more
business it will make their job
safe. Also, the money lost in slot
machines often comes from the
small wage Garner who cannot af-
ford to lose his money. Working
people have made their wages by
sweat and toll and then have lost
their hard earned money in the
iron bandits.
On Employees Day many petit
. tons will be signed for the slot
machine referendum.
