FINE TINE TO BUILD
Riverside Press


Mr. and Mrs. Average Persons, who
look for bargains in most of their buying,
foolishly buy stocks and build homes
when prices are highest 1t isn't thrifty
or sensible. The magazine Building Sup
ply News and Practical Builder describes
the present situation and analyzes three
factors retarding the much-needed build
ing movement.
1t takes courage and confidence in the
future to build home, and these two
qualities are greatest during a boom. Yet
there are good grounds for both of them
today. The future can be what people
make it; it is not some vague doom al
ready prepared and biding its time to
pounce on the country. Confidence in
Americas future is justified by our re-
sources our democracy, our peoples tenn
permanent, our opportunity. 1t would
really be smart and intelligent to go
ahead now with that building boom in
stead of postponing it.
Another factor slowing US up is failure
to appreciate that right now home
builder can get more and better home for
his money than when there is rush of
building and prices inevitably RISE
Finally, many people think home
building is complicated process. AS
matte of fact, it is all greatly simplified,
particularly the financing. All things
considered, doesn't it look a little silly to
hold back, waiting for everybody else
to start?

now buying abroad only half the
goods we were last year In turn,
foreign buying of our goods has
dipped 20 per cent under the highs
of six months ago. This means that
the recession, at first confined to
the United States, has been spread
ing over the world.
The turn for better in American
business. however, has now come.
With the United States such pow
erful factor in world business, this
means that there is a good chance
of preventing another depression
from sweeping the entire globe, A
period of bad business in Europe
at this time might easily touch off
a new World War. Belgium is al
ready recovering after her spectacu-
lar slump of last summer; but
France, The Netherland, England,
and Italy are suffering from dull
business. Czechoslovakia and Poland
are feeling the European recession,
while the break in commodity prices
has been raising havoc with the
more primitive countries.
AUSTRIA FIRST STEP
Germany however, is apparntly
holding her own. Austria, since her
seizure by the Nazis, is rapidly
throwing of a severe business set
back and solving unemployment.
The annexation of Austria was a
master-stroke for Hitler Germany
has strengthened her economic re-
seyes. both of raw materials and
foreign exchanges. Moreover, l am
convinced that the taking over OF
Austria was just the first step in
Germany's planned march toward
the Black Sea. The factories OF Bo-
hemia, the grain fields of Hungary
and the oil wells of Rumania beckon
Hitler to the east. The Kaiser's old
Berlin to Bagdad' dream may yet
materialize under Nazi leadership
The principal weapons in this
| German drive down the Danube will
not be tanks, airplanes and bayo-
nets. The campaigns will be won in
| the fields of commerce rather than
on the fields of battle. Take Czech
oslavakia, for instance. Her strength
lies in the great factory section OF
Bohemia. Yet, she is completely
| landlocked Her chief outlet to the
sea are through German and Polish
ports. Germany can easily block the
movement of Czech goods across
German soil. She can ruin Czecho-
slovakia's vital export business and
force her into the German sphere
She can do the same with all the
small backward countries Of In
ner Europe. As She penetrateS east
ward, she will weave these countries
into her own economy by improving
transportation, mechanizing indus
try and undermining agriculture.

this German march toward the
Black Sea a new alignment OF the

powers will take place. Italy and
Germany are not natural allies.
They have always been on the oppo-
site side of the Tense in the long
list of European wars. The present
Rome-Berlin axis is unnatural.
Frightened by Germany's growing
power, Italy will, in the end, re-
ally herself with England and
France. But Germany has great
genius for organization and eff
cheney. With control over the Dan
ube, over the Hungarian plains, and
over central European sources of
raw materials, She may be a match
for any combination of Old World
powers that may be arrayed against
her.
II the economic resources of Eng
land and France are drained by long
and deep depression, they cannot
hold out alone against a determined
Nazi drive. London and Paris are
the last outposts of democracy in
Europe. They stand as the buffer
between Nazism and us. In the final
analysis, however, the best way to
slow up the German advance is to
promote the prosperity of the en-
tire world. Aggression thrives on
business depressions. Economics are
still more powerful than politics or
diplomatics.

News Behind

Bouncing Up...
Lost Skepticisni

WASHINGTON, Many out
standing economists in Washing
ton are now beginning to believe
that business has left the bottom
of the 1878 depression and is
proceeding upward toward another
period of recovery.
Even some conservative experts
who until recently feared that any
marked early upturn would be fol-
lowed by sharp drop in business
activity during autumn have now
lost their skepticism. And many
expect the wheels of industry to
be whirling merrily by January.
Chief difference in confidential
forecasts available is a diversity OF
opinion as to the probable rate of
aceeleration of the upswing.
The stock market is something
else again, in the opinion of some
of the cannier government ex-
perts. who believe its recent squirt
was not justified by the relatively
small business pickup and that
stock prices previously had held
I'D well as compared with the pre-
cipitous decline of industrial pro-
duction A sharp market drop
would cause no surprise in Wash
ington.

Annoyance at the Hitler govern
ment's nonchalant policy toward
payment of German-and Austrian
debts continues to spread Even
the New York Stock Exchange has
made a unique application to the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion for removal of German
bond issue from its list.
The securities involved are the
German Central Bank for Agri-
culture Secured Per Cent Farm
Loan Gold Sinking Fund Bonds
of 1923, which matured April Is.
Because of German foreign eX-
change restrictions, the bank was
unable to provide dollars in New
York for payment. So it offered
other bonds or blocked reichsmarks
which can't get outside Germany.
The New York exchanges COM
mittee on stock and bond listing
gave an opinion to SEC that it
would be in the public interest to
drop the listing of the bonds.
SEC had hearing at which
no opposition was registered, al
though it subsequently received a
letter from the bank expressing
concern-in German, which re-
quired three days for translation.
SEC is now considering. 1t nearly
always follows the exchanges rec
ommendation in such cases.

An editor of one of the

thing bit more serious than
his famous smile in full bloom,
wired to a New York picture
concern a photo of Roosevelt
"grinning'. Considering the
word somewhat disrespectful,
telegraph office censors re-
fused to clear it.
So the message went thru
