J 922 to Be Good Business
'Year Says Herbert Howell
New York, Jan. 19. This year of
192.2 will be "a good year for re
membering, above all, that business
is business, and not speculation,"
Herbert P. Howell, vice president of
the National Bank of Commerce, to
itay' told delegates to the convention
of the National Wholesale Dry
Goods association.
"Undue stimulation and expansion
simply will not work this year," he
Dsserted. ,
"Stable businesses will command
iidcquate banking facilities at rea
sonable rates," he said, "for the
banks are better fitted than they
were in 1921 to finance legitimate
arid worthy enterprises.
"The attitude of the .public in re
gard to buying is a more calculable
iactof," he continued. "In the first
place, the idea that the public will,
hut at almost any price, can be elim
inated from business calculations. It
can be set down as definite that the
public has become thrifty and dis
criminate in buying.'

former minister to China, declared
m an address here before the Na
tional Popular Government league.
! Dr. Reinsch. who is now counsellor
to the Chinese, government, asserted
that the "enthusiasm" with which
this country's signing of the treaty
had been received in "certain quar
ters" should give warning of "ex
pectation or hope" that the United
States thereby "will support, or at
least condone, aggressive actions and
policies of one or the other partner
o;r the mainland of Asia."
