Recession Held Temporary

Similar increases are reported by Will H. Smith, collector of internal revenue. “Our revenues are almost $3,000,000 more in October, 1937, than they were for the same month in 1936. This indicates a general business prosperity that will be reflected in a successful holiday season. On the basis of experience in collections, I should venture the opinion that the upswing will continue in 1938.” Representatives of industry and trade who were interviewed hesitated to permit their names to be used. They believe the recession is only temporary, certain that a revival will follow Congressional action to free business and industry from “prohibitive taxes and restrictive measures.”
