the chamber reported that this did
not appear In present economic
cards.
Consideration Of the elements
which enter into national activity,
both by business fields and by areas" Z"
1t was said, makes 1t clear that dur
ing the last II months the most sig

improvement in balance, among the
fields Of enterprise and among the
areas of the country.
This has not been a period Of
spectacular bursts here and there
serving to accentuate comparisons
with low conditions elsewhere.
Instead, 1t can now be seen that
there have been at work the processes
which restore order where disloca-
ton had earlier been evident, which
bring all activities nearer the aver
age instead Of some being far above
and others equally far below"
The chamber said "It is necessary
to 60 back . decade to find another
period in which business momentum
had within itself equal elements Of
