The Evidence Favors Continued Prosperity
ANALYSIS of factors bearing upon the business of the nation
now appear to show a preponderance of those that may be
considered favorable which gives promise of continued prosperity.
These factors as enumerated by the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute are as follows:
The credit of the Federal Reserve banks is not over-extended.
Merchandise inventories and mercantile credits are generally
healthy. *
PHces of building materials have not increased much during
1925.
Building contracts are large enough to insure a continuance
of activity for some motnhs to come.
The large corn and cotton crops form a back-log to prosperity.
Adequate transportation facilities insure prompt deliveries
a factor in keeping the merchandise situation liquid.
Railway buying will be up to average or better.
» The just attitude of the commerce commission insures stabili-
ty in railway finances.
Confidence in the Coolidge administration and congress makes
for optimism in business.
The Locarno Treaty indicates a constructive trend in Europe.
The Institute finds the following factors which will act as a de-
terrent to further expansion:
Loans against realty mortgages and stock exchange securities
are unusually large.
Some localities are adversely affected by the small wheat crop
and the reduced prices of corn and cotton.
The cost of living has increased moderately in 1925; a further
increase in 1926 would be reflected in a higher cost of doing
business and demands for wage increases and strikes.
Rates pn time loans (stock exchange) have risen from 3 1-2 to
5 per cent during the past year.
Commenting on its analysis of conditions the Institute says:
"‘At the moment the favorable factors predominate over the
. unfavorable factors. The outlook is that the present forward
impetus will continue for some months ahead. It is doubtful
however whether credits can be inflated during 1926 as rapidly
as in 1925. The bank deposits of the country have increased
$4000000000 during the past year. That is an excessive in-
crease. An expansion of $2000000000 per year should take
care of normal growth of the production and distribution of
goods. The increase during the past year has been in excess of
nbffhkl retirements and has unduly stimulated speculative ac-
tivity in stocks and real estate.’”
The Institute adds:
“We reach the conclusion that during the course of the com-
ing yeai there must be a slowing down in the rate of inflation be-
cause private banking resources are well employed and because
the Federal Reserve Board will frown upon excessive rediscount-
ing at the reserve banks.” •

| Control of Raw Materials
GREAT BRITAIN controls the raw rubber supply and Brazil
fixes the price of coffee.
Accordingly we find Secretary Hoover complaining that con-
trol of any commodity which the world in general uses is against
the best interests of society.
The secretary takes the broad view of course and he is right.
The interests of humanity at large takes precedence over the in-
terest of any nation or group withi nthat nation. It is the prin-
ciple on which we base laws—that the rights of society super-
sede the rights of individuals. We say that men shall not shoot
promiscuously because there are a greater number of people who
are endangered thereby. And the more populous a city or nation
becomes the fewer rights the individual has simply because con-
sideration must be given to the greater number.
But nations are not in the habit of relinquishing control of
their products when powerful enough to maintain control. Great
Britain in reply to our complaint of monopoly of crude rubber
might say that the Lancashire district of England has for many
years paid tribute to the American cotton growers. But it is
doubtful if we have ever controlled the cotton supply absolutely
smd certainly our government never has taken action to hold up
prices for the American producer. It so happens that the South
has been the major factor in cotton growing and still produces
mdTe than half of the total supply.
Great Britain has sought and is still seeking to get away from
the American cotton producer. But instead of voicing her com-
plaint in the halls of parliament she has given every encourage-
ment to cotton production in her colonies and has made some prog-
j*ggg(
The solution of our difficulty in the matter of rubber would
seem to develop rubber growing in parts of the world not control-
led by the Stevenson plan of regulating output. It is a rather
slow process but in the end it will assure us enough rubber to
give us better control over prices. Perhaps also we can eventual-
ly break the coffee monopoly by turning away from Brazilian
growths and using others.

that the English rulers would counten-

renounced his claim to the throne.
Furthermore present rumors hint an en-

Astrid of Sweden.
Queen Marie was Marie Alexandrine

"Europe is racing: for time between

Mussolini Sees Situation Clearly.
"When the nations of the world spoke
about democracy brotherhood frater-'

er asserted "but the war showed things
to he different. With the fall of de-
mocracy Mussolini has risen to dictator
of Italy an.d dictator of the Roman Em-
pire that is to come.”
He described Mussolini as a “man of
destiny.” a prototype intellectually and
spiritually of Napoleon. He spoke of
him as “deadly sincere” and compared
him to Lloyd George iWnston Churchill
and Aristide Briand.
“Mussolini is the one man who is

Bob Mannering with Diane Bled-
soe and another couple are driving
to Calkin’s Inn after the close of
I a country club dance celebrating
j Bob’s twenty-first birthday. Bob is
! at the wheel with Diane leaning
over him when the car crashes into
a roadster injuring a woman. The
party is taken to a police station
where the sergeant is trying to fix
responsibility. Meanwhile Mrs.

son who is in love with Bob are
following.

CHAPTER V—Continued
"All right. I haven't time for
your life's history now." A new
emphasis crept into the ser-
geant’s tones. "But there was
something wrong in that car long
before you hit the roadster. The
motorcycle policeman’s report
proves It. He trailed you for sev-
eral miles. He says you were ail
over the road and nearly in the
ditch a dozen times. What I want
to know Is. who was driving?”
For an instant Theo seemed
upon the point of speaking. Then

opening them only when the keen
gaze of the sergeant seemed to
bore into his innermost soul to
mutter nervously if ungrammatic-
ally. "It wasn’t me. sir. no sir it
wasn’t me.”
Now the stem gaze of the ser-
geant shifted to rest upon Diane.
Bereft of l.er usual coolness and
composure she seemed to shrink

its severity.

in her plight. Suddenly she shook
her head wildly.
“No no!" she cried. Then
quick as a flash turned upon Bob
and her accusation rang out un-
mistakable In its clearness “He
was!’*
Again that same air of perplexi-
ty seemed to have claimed Bob.
At her words he turned towards
her and looked straight into her
eyes. It was a strange look.
There was bewilderment and pain
In It. The world had changed so
suddenly for him. His happy
carefree life seemed very far
away.
But she. who had merely related
a fact seemed to flinch and quail
under his glance the poise and
self assurance which had been
such a part of her being forgotten.
With never a word Bob turned
from her.
And still as if not fully satisfied
with what she had done. Diane
turned back to Then and grew al-
most hysterical in the persistence
of her accusation.
"It was he. U was Bob who was
driving! Wasn't it. Theo? Yon

Theo?”
Under her questions Theo shift-
ed nervously upon his feet shot a
frightened glance at Bob and final-
ly stared at the stern visage of the
officer of the law as if fascinated.
“Yes—it was—” His voice trail-
ed off Into a whisper.
As if satisfied the sergeant
frowned and gave his attention to
Bob.
