Washington, Nov. 22. Building
operations alone will tave off any
unemployment problem for at least a
year and a half, S. W. Straus, New
York investment banker, told Presi
dent Coolidge today In course of a
conference on the business outlook.
"There is a potential need for 8
billion dollars' worth of new build
ings in the United States today," Mr.
Straus declared. "This need exists
notwithstanding the fact that build
ing operations this year are 25 per
cent ahead of 192. Last year the
nation's new volume of business was
4 billion dollars. This year it will
be 5 billion dollars, so that it would
require a year and one-half of the
most intensive ODeratlon to make tin
the present shortage. With these ac- 1
tlvities there is no likelihood in the
United States of having to face any
unemployment problems at least in
the immediate future.
"An important development in the
Industry this year is the great, in-j
crease of winter building. October!
bui'dire; permits thruout the country
were 25 per cent ahead of Septem-'
ber. although ordinarily building op
erations decline sharply in October
L,asi montn s permits were 30 per
cent of October last year. These
facts reflect the universal confidence
of the business interests of the coun
try in a continuance of present bus
iness expansion."

in brief: "The colleges do not seem

had told him a Fort Scott bank of
which Mr. Jobes is a director, recent
ly charged off $50,000 as worthless,
because it represented loans made to
farmers.
Mr. Marble was also quoted by the !
