OPTIMISM MARKS
CHAMBER REVIEW
Business Is Ready to Move
Forward During Fall,
Report States.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

The United States Chamber of
Commerce is "bullish" on the Fall
business outlook this weeks review
stating that production and distribu-
ton, employment and pay rolls, came
through the Summer with their
earlier gains intact The survey adds:
ION the face of the record the
business of the country at large is
obviously ready to 60 forward during
the Fall months of 1887 as during the
Fall months of 1886, with steadily in
creasing production for the country as
a whole keeping pace with an ex-
panding consumption and a growing
export trade and with additions to
employment to the point of labor
shortage.
wholesale price levels have main
tanned stability that would be impos-
sible in the absence of healthy condi-
tions; the index of wholesale food
prices in early September is almost
Identical with the index of September
1885; the index for wholesale prices
of all farm products is up per cent
from the figure of two years before;
and in the same period the general
levels of wholesale prices for finished
manufactured products has risen by
almost the same percentage as the
general level of prices for farm prod
ucts.
The average cost of living has been
no less favorable In the two wears
since September 1885, it has risen by
only 6 per cent. and according to the
Labor Department, less than per cent
durlng the last year. On the other
hands average weekly earnings of all
workers in industry have risen % per
cent.
Use of bank credit reflects much
preparation for business in the i'm
mediate future. During the first two
weeks of September commercial. in
dustrlal and agricultural loans by
Federal Reserve member banks in 10l
cities rose by S82.oo0OO0, or sub

cert on Mrs. Dorsey's evening course.
This was Mr.. Pinza's second appear
ance here this Winter and he con-
hrmed the opinion formed at his debut
in the Mayfiower Of his superior artis-
tic qualities. He has, nrst Of all, .
truly beautiful voice exceeding that Of
any other basso In its flexible coloring
which never encroaches on the vocal
reserves. He sings freely throughout
his compass and with . well modu-
lated emotionalsm that u ever within
the bonds Of good taste. He Is singer
whom one could listen to indefinitely
without feeling that his art Is set in Q
certain frame recognizable in every
song. For his intelligent adaptation
to the mood and to the direction Of his
own sentiment creates . human touch
that is the link between himself and
his public.
There were only two numbers on
MIR. Pinza's program which had not
been heard ct his previous recital.
These were the arias. "Qui sdegno non
s'accende" from Mosart,s Magic
Flute" and the impressive n lacerato
spirito" from Verdi's Simon Boo
canegra." Tempering his voice and
his Interpretation to the larger de-
mands Of the operatic form, he gave
the aria Of the High Priest with de-
tached grandeur and that Of the sor-
rowing father with moving sentiment.
The third aria on his program was
'Mephistopheles' Serenade" from
Gounod's Faust" wherein his voice
became the tamting vehicle Of Me-
phisto,s sarcasism. Among the songs
were the lovely alma mia" by Han

Of william Kroll and Nicolai Bere-

The program included = modern work
by Malipiero, composed IN 1884, and

No. t." by Beethoven, written in light
vein, the players adopted . pleasing
mexyo-voice quality Of tone suited to
the type Of the composition. Singing
passages interviewer with . playful
mood here and there. made one forget
the more serious Beethoven. The vol
ume Of tone used, while charming In
its effect, was tinged with too much
intention to be perfectly satisfying.
No marked difference in style Of treat
ment was made between this number
and Haydn's "Divertimento in E Flat,
attributed to Haydn's youthful period.
which was second on the program.
Many graceful Embellishments were
the most distinctive characteristics
between the two works. The two min
uets, the adagio cantabile for the first
violin, accompanied by other strings,
and . short dashing finale were pleas
ing and apply expressed the title.
Technical facility Of fingers and
bowing serve the artists well whenever
speed Is required, and no matter how
fast the tempo, each note stands out
clear and distinct Many times, how
ever, their tempt give the impression
Of being unrestrained, although well
within their capability. Accuracy OF
intonation and rhythmical precision
formed the background Of the presen-
tation yesterday and the players glided
effortlessly through the most compn-
Gated passages. Yet one felt that this
very facility stands somewhat Is .
drawback to q finer achievement In

worked with his hands lie headed for
the labor aristocracy and got into one
Of the powerful craft unions of the
A. F. Of L. His unions we're not par
ticularly interested in the unskilled
workers, and they were difficult to
organize because they spoke :. dozen
different tongues. They were bohunks,
russkis and wops. They came here
from conditions so bad that they were
willing to accept what were compared
with previous standards, high wages.
But they aren't coming any more, and
their sons are not bohunks or wops.
Their sons are Americans, educated in
American schools, and not prepared to
join, the encampments of their fathers.
Capitals Credo Upset.
Nor am I perturbed because labor
intends to go into politics. That, too,
Is inevitable and just. Capital has
always been in politics. Capital has
had its own political party; both OF
them. BY and large, the credo has
been that what's good for business
Is good for the country, meaning by
that what is good and Immediately
profitable for business ownership, with
business ownership making the de-
cision. That was the ruling credo
from Grant to Hoover, a credo seldom
successfully attacked in politics, except
for brief periods, although it was re-
peatedly and vigorously attacked by
American intellectuals and artists, by
nf c1Jph ruiv,r yN<1iticol NJ
phies as James Truslow Adams, who is
conservative; by Upton Sinclair, who
Is Socialist, and by Sinclair Lewis,
who Is a liberal. It was this credo
which was repudiated in 1882 and
in 1896.
What perturbs me is Lewis frank
affirmation that he is another Of the
people who is his way toward some
very vague goal, guided by no principle
except opportunism-and with the
possibility of several million cohesively
organized workers at his back. He
doesn't believe in communism a
socialism-or disbelieve in them. He
isn't a Democrat or Republican and
the New Deal is not the answer to the
maiden's prayer. He wants to educate
the workers to exert their political
influence freely but he doesn't know
for what purpose they are to exert
that influence. 1t sounds rather like
the League Of Women Voters.
The greatest political danger in a
democracy occurs when huge popu-
lar-pressure groups organize to make
demands upon government without
being willing to take the responsibility
Of government. They do not want to
organize society according to a pattern
determined by certain principles.
They want merely to make raids upon
society, and the only principle is
guess at what the traffic will bear.
They are not held together by a
program, but by leader. They can
remain a minority, but a minority
which can swing the political pendu-
lum as they wish to swing it, not in
regard to general program, but in
regard to specific situations. That, and |
that alone, is dangerous, for it is type
of movement without discipline, with |
out intellectual integrity or political |
responsibility. Our menace is not |
communism, but confusion.
