VOL. XXXIX. No. II. Now Is Time For Summing Up Three years of depression have ended and we can begin to sum up. Jtzssz'zzr ■ 1 "" - a great deal of hardship and a long black list of bankruptcies. But real readjustments had to occur to put a sound foundation under family and business life. Those who expanded and operated on the principle that that »b.ch *«s „p ^ neve,. c»,„e down, and lh« boon, prosperity would continue unabated forever, had to be deflated. The individual has found that it is possible to live happily and comfortably on a pre-war basis. He has found that the arbiter of wages is what the dollar will buy. He’s come down to earth. Thesp are the “healthful breezes’’ of depression. The decks have been cleared for action, and the way of recovery is open. As for the problems of depression, they are still vital and in tense. Writing in the Yale Review, Sir Arthur Salter observed that 1933 will be one of the most crucial years in modern history. The pressing and increasing weight of taxation stifles the capital (industry) of the world, creating unemployment and pre venting industrial expansion and the further investment of money. The burden of armaments, with their drain on national in comes and their constant threat to world peace, grows greater. In every important country the cost of wars, past, present and lu ture, is .the major item in the national budget. The question of foreign trade looms large on the economic horizon. In normal times, foreign sales amount to ten per cent of the gross in this country—and ten per cent is the margin be tween profit and loss in the average business. Today foreign trade is almost non-existetnt, due largely to a new and intense spirit of economic nationalism which finds its expression in tai iff wars and embargoes. Almost every economist of distinction, here and abroad, stresses the need for revitalizing foreign trade factor in the work of recovery. Tied up with this is the as a of half the problem of silver, which affects the purchasing power »world's people. When silver is depressed, as at present, the sil ver standard countries are unable to buy in the gold standard . uid rlcds The picture at home is undoubtedly more the world picture. We have the finest industrial organism in existence—we have the factories and the machines and the farms that are adequate to our needs. Our utilities, our railroads, our oil companies, our insurance institutions, are the harbingers of American progress. They represent honest national assets, as against the fictitious assets we counted on in the boom days. Because the machinery of distribution has slowed, it does not mean that the machinery of production is lacking or faulty. Our greatest single problem is unemployment. Ten million of our working population is at present out of a job, and its buy ing lias come to a stop. Much of this unemployment is tempo rary—part of it is the result of machine displacement of labor. Today the foremost industrialists are working toward plans to shorten the working day and the working week, and to provide of unemployment insurance that will assure the able some means well good, it and willing worker a livelihood in bad times as as is difficult to believe that their efforts will end in failure. The weight of taxation, which forces retrenchment, is preventing the employment of many of those now seeking jobs. This is America at the opening of 1933--a vast and mcalcula hly rich land, whieh is gradually emerging from depression and entering It is still a land of promise, as it was in a new era. it really the days of the Argonauts, Mt has lost nothing that possessed.

Plump Figured Ladies Adopt Two-Piece Dress The sculptural lines have evidently been too great a tax on the figures of many women, or rather the figures have taxed too greatly the nerves of dress sculptors, because of a sud den now, one is discovering a good many smart women wearing two-piece dresses. Tills is a great break after the [tast seasons of trying to look like a plaster relief. And those who aren't adopting the two-piece news are al most gulping down the lowered waist line. Warmtb in Color This is the season of the year to select warm colors for frocks and coats. So avoid steel grays and cer tain colorless, chilly tones of green. Burgundy is a fashionable color and it Is becoming to blonds, brunettes and between shades. J Products in Kinship Naphtha and gasoline are both pe troleum products.
