MAJOR REACTION STILL RETARDING MOSTINDUSTRIES Many Signs, However, Indicate Recession Nearly Ended, Business is moving through the midsummer period with lagging step, according to a business review for the month by the Fletcher American National Bank. Industry is still in the grip of the major reaction which began in the spring of 1923 and which was temporarily interrupted early this year. Many signs indicate that this recession has reached its final stage. Business sentiment is growing distinctly more expectant of some measure of improvement in the au'umn. Among the most constructive factors in the situation are; The stimulating ease of money; the rise of grain prices; the checking of overproduction and of overstocking of goods; the steadier commodity prices; the active security markets; the choice of conservative candidates to lead both major political parties; and, the subsiding of the troubled waters abroad. The outlook is not entirely devoid of influences which may tend to slow up recovery. Some of these include reduced employment and buying power, heavy inventories and price weakness in some lines, overexpanded and unbalanced industrial equipment, receding building and railroad equipment buying and the appearance of a radical third ticket in the field. The fact of outstanding Importance, however, is that production in many lines has fallen below consumption. When stocks are eventually depleted, the resultant demand will receive impetus from cheap credit.

ESTIMATED GAIN FROM GRAIN RISE SHOWSDECREASE Corn Situation Unsatisfactory—Cotton Outlook Fairly Good, By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. I.—Net gain to the farmers from the recent wheat price increases will be nearer SIOO,000,000 or $200,000,000 than the sl,000,000,000 which has been estimated In some quarters, the Department of Agriculture said today. Such an increase, nevertheless, “bespeaks an ability to pay off debts and a general improvement in financial conditions in the wheat country.” the statement said. "On the other hand, the corn situation is by no means good,” it continued. “Stands are extremely spotted. Many fields are full of weeds and much of the crop is so far behind that it will need something approaching a frostless fall to mature.” “The main significance of th 6 com situation lies in its effect on livestock production and prices during the coming year. Expensive corn this fall presumably will prolong the liquidation of breeding stock now in progress” “The South,” the statement said, “is considered to be going through critical stages now. but cotton bids fair to produce a larger and more evenly distributed Income than last year.”

IS WORLD LOSER IN GREAT WAR? (font inned From Page 1) stable basis for world peace and that International cooperation is the only other plan to be tried. This is a great gain.” Pershing's View GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING: “While we are probably too close to the events of toe World War definitely to judge of Its general benefits to mankind, yet the victory did result in preventing domination by autocracy, with all its disastrous affects upon civilization, and the evidence is clear that the free peoples of the world will unite in resisting such domination.” SIR ARTHUR W. CURRIE, com-mander-in-chlef Canadian Expeditionary Forces: “By the World War we gained a truer appreciation and a better realization of war's unspeakable waste, its dreadful hardships, its cruel slaughter and Its aftermath of loneliness, sorrow and broken hearts. We now know that as a means of solving the world’s problems and removing international discord war is a delusion and a He. From the Ranks AMERICAN SOLDIER NO. 1,000,000. who served In the ranks and is now a staff sergeant: “Although we cannot claim that* as a result of the World War, the world has been made ‘safe for democracy,' It Is apparent that the American principle that ‘governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,’ has been, for the first time, inmpressed upon European minds.” MAXIMILIEN HARDEN. GERMAN EDITOR: "The certainty that war has lost its last glowing charm of romantic chivalry of knighthood; that it has lost the manly nobility of a fight to be decided by personal valor, and has become an endless war of Industrial masses of matter and physical and chemical devils' work.” Impious Creed Overthrown Gen. Henry T. Alien, commander of the American Army of Occupation, sees the "impious creed that might makes right” overthrown. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, sees beneficial world political results. David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Leland Stanford, sees “in the aggregate, nothing whatever,” but in detail beneficial political results. Ascendancy of democracy Is cited by Samuel Gompers, American Federation of Labor president. Jane Adams sets forth as gain the revelation of what modern war is and a growing determination to abolish It. The only gain seen by Sir Phillip Gibbs. British war correspondent, “was the inspiration that comes from the supreme valor of youth and its ready sacrifice for ideals higher than self-interest.
