“Ready for the Uptown"
The Nation’s Business heads
its leading editorial ftw the
August number, “Ready for!
the Upturn.” And the edi-
torial presents the following
developments that are calcu-
lated to bring a sense of re-
lief:
“The end for the present of
any fear for the gold position
of the United States. Neither
abroad nor here was there fear
for the stability of the dollar.
‘The passage of the tax bill
carrying a hope of a billion of
added revenae wad a long step
toward a balanced budget
“Indications ct Lausanne of
more reasonableness on the
part of France and other Euro-
pean countries, with a hope
that a workable agreement on
the question of reparations
might be reached.
“Increase in the prices of
pork and beef products.
“Certain measures of busi-
ness activity seem now to be
steadying, or at least to be
dropping more slowly. And
with that is a feeling that per-
haps we are near that ‘bottom’
which we must strike before
we start up."
Some notable additions
could be made to thst list.
Consider these: The United
States Steel corporation de-
clared its regular quarterly
[ dividend at $1.76 per share on
' preferred stock Tuesday. The
Studebaker corporation oa the
same day likewise declared
the regular quarterly dividend
of $1.75 per share on prefer-
red stosk.
Many textile mills are re-
opening for activity in New
England, and other factories in
thst section are resuming
operations.
Some at the railroads made
a much better showing in June
than in May.
Evidences of revival of busi-
ness are undoubtedly appear-
ing on every hand. Inculca-
tion of the spirit of confidence
is one of the great needs now.
The consuming public is in
need of commodities. The
buying holiday is about over.
New confidence would bring it
to an end quickly.—Houston

R.T. BLAIR
In an article on the aeverity
and extent of the depression in
this country, the Manchester,
England, Guardian says: “Un-
der all these trials the Ameri-
can people have behaved with
admirable fortitude and pa-
tience.”
That is a fine testimonial to
the temper of our people. They
have, perhaps better than any
other people in the world,
borne inescapable burdens
without losing either faith or
courage. rThey have realized
that drastic, thoughtless action
is not necessary—that, in the
normal course of events, our
problems will he solved. They
have pat shoulders to the
wheel and have bent every re-
source to meeting the exigen-
cies at depression.
A people who can do aa our
people have done in * time at
unprecedented stress, seed
have no fear for the nation’s
future.
