"Given adequate purchasing pow er, industry, commerce and finance are now in the best position they have ever been to foster and develop world trade quickly and on a record-breaking scale," he says. "There is abundant capital. Sur plusses, except in some raw commod titres, have been greatly reduced. Economic readjustments have taken place in every direction. The practi cal means of utilizing credit to the full have been developed, particul arly in the United States by the Fed eral Reserve System," are some of the reasons given for this encour aging prophecy. "The whole world believes the des tiny of the United States is prosper ity," says Mr. Parker. The report goes on to point out that last year the income of the peo ple of this country was ninety billion dollars, exclusive of increment, a sum far in excess of that of any other na tion in the history of the world. In the process of our economic de velopment, our backsets, however sev ere, have always paved the way for permanent good. Mr. Parker declares. "Last fall, during the severest value decline, particularly in point of scope, this country has ever known, there was no money stringency. The call money market having become an effi cient method of quick large volume financing." But as individuals as well as busi ness, agriculture and industry, we. in this country, must learn to think in terms of world commerce, world econ omy, and worm psycnoiogy, ana, as a nation, we must develop our foreign markets in the following three ways, Mr. Parker declares. "To sustain its prosperity, the United States must produce a surplus. and it must sell that surplus abroad. To successfully compete with Eu rope, it must produce a better and better product at a cost reflecting greater and greater economy. "To assure adequate overseas mar kets, the United States must use its great power and overseas markets wealth in aiding to develop ever "Whatever practical, backward races need to be helped in their ef forts to develop a greater earning power and a greater need. All back ward races, and these number a bil lion or more people, now feel an urge in that direction and are in a better position than ever before to take ad vantage of opportune help." Looking ahead the most competent 'analysis see a gradual industrial re- covery and then a long period of jhighly prosperous business, the report continues. In all probability a period of the 'greatest business the world has ever known is not far ahead. That de velopment will proceed just as rapid ly and just as far as trading restric tions between countries permit it to proceed. Mr. Parker believes. :o: PROGRESS AND FADS With much being made of science in business the counsel heard here and there that the craze for modern methods can defeat its own purpose is often viewed as out of tune with the times and reactionary. And 3-et the plain truth is that in many cases the effort to be scientific at all costs results merely in fathering together a mass of data, some of it relevant !but most of it valueless. The trouble is that too many busi ness men are eager to renderlip-ser-vice to what is new or to what is considered efficiency. They have lit tle idea of what they are striving to accomplish to begin with, and they wind up after a lot of misdirected energy and expense with little or nothing to show for It. It is small wonder, then, that real scientific pro gress in business makes such small i- i j This fault of lip-service does not ihold. of course, for all. but it is far too common for the welfare of busi ness. And the tragedy of it is that the many enterprises addicted to it are actually having more trouble with their imitation services and products than if they operated on the j old time lines. Too much that is called progress I is not progress at all but merely a 'change. We as a nation are getting 'into the dangerous habit of deceiving ourselves into believing that every new thing is a step forward. . :o: Phone your news to the Journal. A FEW WOBDS OF TRUTH Former Gov. Smith of New York has effectively silenced the Repub- lican politicians, big and little, who hav been whimpering about the un fairness of the Democrats in charging the Republican party with the re sponsibility lor the business depres sion. No intelligent man believes any such thing, and no responsible citi zen, so far as we know, has made any such charge. The position of the Democratic party was stated by Mr. Smith in his Providence speech with characteristic clarity and honesty. He said: I do believe, and I don't be lieve that any Democratic lead er in this country believes, that the Republican party is respon sible for the depression. We have too many brains. But we do blame the Republican party for promising a continuance of prosperity when they knew they couldn't do it. Everybody knows that the Repub lican party has plumed and paiaded itself as the party of prosperity. Its accredited leaders have preached that doctrine so long that mar y of them, like the eminent Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, have talked themselves into believing it. And they have persuaded a majority of the American people that the election of a Democratic candidate for Presi dent means hard times and the elec tion of a Republican good times. Never was this argument more smugly, arrogantly and successfully employed than in the campaign of 1928. Never was a candidate array ed in such a regalia of superlatives as was Mr. Hoover. He was present ed as the "miracle man" of our poli tical history, equipped as no prede cessor in the office ever was to guide the nation to new heights of plenty. Mr. Hoover accepted the magician's role. The myth is now exploded. Wheth er partisan sophistry can put Humpty Dumpty together again, we don't know. It has frequently done it. We have had panics under previous Re publican administrations, though none so protracted as the present and none so devastatingly disillusioning. That Mr. Hoover is open to criti cism for his deportment during the depression cannot fairly be denied. He has made optimistic forecasts which events, unfortunately, have not fulfilled. Statements have been made by his Cabinet officers which, in the extent of unemployment, for example, have not squared with the facts, and in other instances have been more rosy than real. That he has done, and is doing, all that he can do, according to his philosophy, to relieve distress and hasten the return of prosperity, goes without saying. But there can be no question that the Republican party conducted its campaign two years ago on false pre tenses, and its blunder, or its sin. has found it out. Mr. Smith has told the truth. The man has a rare talent for truth tell ing. It was this talent, plus his ad ministrative skill and political sag acity, that made his governorship of New York a record of memorable achievement. His few words i: the Providence speech are the outstand utterance of the present campaign. A plain, simple, truthful utterance. but, as the (Baltimore Evening Sun observed, "it took Al to say it." St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: AMERICAN CIGARETTES POPULAR American cigarettes have becom? so popular in France that the French Regie, the state-owned organization which controls the manufacture of all tobacco products in France, has just put on the market a new cigar ette identical in size, shape and ap pearance with popular blends in the United States. Removal of harmful irritants which includes the UBe of ultra-violet rays has resulted in a tremendous increase in the produc tion of cigarettes in the United States and official government fig ures so far for 1930 are well in ad vance of the mark for the correspond ing period of 1929. The new French cigarette is advertised as an "Amer ican blend" and will sell for COO francs, or about 27 cents, which is the price of the ordinary American 15 cent package of cigarettes in France. It is evident that French smokers, like American are demand ing modern methods in the manufac ture of their short smokes. . : o- MAKING BUSINESS BETTER Down in Kansas City a merchant named Lee Muchenberger, shared a belief somewhat current throughout the country that business would be better if people would only spend more money. Unlike a lot of business men, how ever, Muchenberger had the courage of his conviction, all the way up to the hilt. To prove his theory Muchenberger went to the bank, drew out $1,500 and proceed to give his employes $30 each on condition that they go out and spend it immediately. It made business better, of course, among those merchants where the money was spent. The chief trouble is that the other business men in Kansas City did not follow the ex ample. :o: A man who walks five miles while playing a game of golf kicks his head off when he has to walk three blocks from a parking space to his office.
