WTAsHINGToN,-"Lack Of con-
w fidence" is so often said TO
be a fundamental factor in the
business slump that it's a news
item of the man-biteS-dog type
when anyone says that "too much
confidence" rather tn an not
enough, was one of the receSsion'S
major causes.
1.-THE plain truth Of the matter
is that business in general
had too much confidence, and
speculated in inventory buying"
says DR.. Leon Henderson, chief
economist Of WPA. "When a cor
poration is uncertain about the
future, il does not buy materials,
supplies and new machinery.
Business went blindly ahead even
when many storm warnings were
signalling that the great mass OF
nsumers lacked purchasing
power to take their goods of the
market"
Henderson's words have been
carrying plenty Of wei hit IN
Washington since he predicted the
business recession, with startling
accuracy. many months in adj
vance.
According to Heoderson's tabu-
lations, so large corporations with
total assets of $l,330,3o0, 900, had
inventories valued at $685.
456, 900 at the end Of 1929. But
at the end of last September, even
though the price level was con-
siderably lower, these inventories
amounted to $285,606,000.
Those who are optimistic about
business prospects are sure that
industrial activity will pick up
when inventories get worked off,"
TN past years no president ever
l. considered sending an Irish
Catholic ambassador to London
because relations between Eng
land and Ireland are always so
delicate. But the appointment of
Joseph P. Kennedy to the Court
of St. James may turn QUITO be

FORD ON TRIAL"

Henry Ford has been like gift from Heaven TO
the American working man, developing methods
that brought automotive transportation within the
reach of almost everybody and blazing trails to
modern standards of high wages and short working
hours, which standards he continues to uphold.
Directly and indirectly he has been responsible
for the creation of tens of thousands of jobs
Yet the National Labor Relations Board investi-
gates his company and infers it to be-to sum-
marize-a doggone, low-down enemy of labor
Maybe it is, but in our innocence and our bull
headed ignorance we shall await such verdict
from better source before we prepare to swallow
it, and we believe hosts of American workers will
feel the same way.-Greenville Piedmont.

B. C.-Yukon Union
 Far from Settled
Both Areas Are Very Chary About Prospects
 of -Mergers,...............

VICTORIA, B. C., July 26. = British Colubbia is not likely to take over Yukon Territory on the terms at first proposed by the Federal Government. Behind the official announcement that the whole mat ter will be discussed in Ottawa in the autumn, when members of the Provincial government go East again, is the realization here that the acquisition of the Yukon has not produced very favorable pub- lie reaction.
 Yukon people fear union with this province and the public here, politicians believe, are alarmed at the possibility of large expense to the provincial treasury if it has to administer this vast northern ter ritory. For these reasons, it is like ly that, before the deal is consum- mated if it goes ahead at all, 1t will have to be revised.
 The suggested arrangement is that the Dominion should give the pro- vince subsidy of S125,000 a year to help pay the cost of governing the Yukon. It is believed here now that the Legislature will want to get more than this if it embarks upon any Yukon deal.
