A BAROMETER OF WHOSE MENTAL
WEATHER?
iRy BRUCE CATTON)

II would be a little bit easier to feel that
GOOD times were isoug to come back if the
stock market we're not boiling so furiously
Not that a stock market advance, in it
self is anything sinister or unwelcome. But
we do seem to have way of getting the
business cart 4 city block IN front of the
horse whenever the stock market starts
acting up. and this current flare-up will
give us a fine chance To repeat one Of our
favorite mistakes.
This whole business of prosperity and
depression is so easy to misunderstood
Wall Street is :, barometer, as everybody
saws: but it is not always a barometer of
She real state Of business. 1t can be simply
a barometer of the state of mind of that
relatively small section of the population
which likes to do its gambling in securities
rather than with cards, dice, or race
horses.
SO a sudden rise in stock prices may
mean much-or little And the danger IS
that we may swing from a deep, unthink-
ing pessmism to an equally unthinking
nptimiSm-when what out situation calls
for is neither optimism nor peSsimism, but
a great deal of hard. clear thinking.
Which is to say that the real trouble in
our situation is not the fact that prices of
divers stocks are very low. 1t is the fact
that some millions of bread-wnnerS want
work and can't get it; the fact that thou
sands of factories equipped TO produce
things the people need are not producing
them: the fact that want and discourage
ment and Stagnation affhct land which
ought to be the busiest, richest, and hap
.piest land in all the world.
,.. And the trouble with sudden squirt in
the stock market is that it is apt to blind
ms to the existence of these fundamental
difficulties.
For stock prices might go up, and stay
up, without any genuine remedy for these
adeep-seated ills having taken place at all;
vet if we fixed our eyes on the stock mar
ket we might delude ourselves into think
ing that the corner had been rounded and
all was to be well.
We have lived with this depression Of
ours for a good many years now, and we
shall do well not to let familiarity breed
contempt. Not until work is once more
available to all who honestly seek it, not
until the business man who offers useful
goods or services can expect to get de-
cent return on his money and his time, can
we safely return to the preoccupation with
daily security quotations.
Let the stock market go up---Or down
as it pleases. The less we think about 1t,
and the more we think about the real
meaning of the depression, the better off
we shall be in the end.
