WASHINGTON-Th recent small dent IN
the business curve has been taken here and IN

You can find more advanced reasons for the
stock exchange slump within the adninisTa-

And much more difference OF opinion as 10
whether the market decline has been good

All this writer pI,atends to be certain about
is that Dr. Leon Henderson. chief economist for

generally were predicting on uninterrupted two
or three year market rise-propheSied wave
of price-raising which would result in deficit
of purchasing power by this fall.
The test of the prophecy is now with us and
Henderson believes the outlook isn't any too sweet
unless business acts rapidly and on wide front
to:
l. Cut prices where possible.
2. Bring out cheaper lines of goods.
8. Refrain from price increases.
: Henderson believes the stock market went up
on the theory of long uninterrupted rise, where
as continued recovery is based on two things:
Constitution which now lags, and purchasing
poWer-increaseS in which he says, have been
largely destroyed by price increases.
He quotes DR.. Glenn Frank as saying recently
that consumer purchases had increased five per-
cent over year previous, while retail prices
had gone up nine per cent, representing an actual
Purchasing power has been held up by higher
wages-wage income having increased steadily
for Is months with one exception, farm income
running at the rate of billion dollars over
last year. a national income increase estimated
at IL per cent bonus payments to veterans and
other federal expenditures ana a rise in install
ment buying TO 30 per cent over the 1929 total
How much of the total, asks Henderson, has
gone 70 pay price boosts?
IF the price level had stayed lower, there
would have been a big increase in retail buying
instead of disappointing volume during the
summer months" Henderson says. Because of
price increases goods are not being taken off
the market and inventories remain high.
Unless the great mass of people have money
to pay the price of goods produced will
go into tailspin again, with temporary over
production and then reduced production sched-
ules. buyers strike simply means that the
buyer has credit money
Henderson would urge business to seek profits
on volume of business rather than the high
profit per unit
