USINESS IS BOTH
GOOD Ai BAD
BT DAVID lXWRXrZCZ " TVASHXN'GTON. Jun 22 The Business !tuatlon throughout the country presents to government eyes certaJJi good and bad aspects. The grood conslats of a turn for the better In manyUnas which ix months ago were hardest hit and tha bad arises out of rTift fact that certain Industries which dlda't feel the wave of depression lat winter now are 'beginning' to sag. The eituaUon Is not now end never has been uniform. No two lndusrtwiew have been hit In exactly the eame way and at the anae moment. This explains the almost continuous flow of pessimistic talk whoee undercurrent .na ben sensed here ever since last December. The only danger In the talk Itself Is that certain Industries, hlch axe on a sound basis, may be .nfluenced to curtail their activities imply because of a foar that th business depression makes promotion and xpanslon Inadvisable as a matter of Irlnclple. vtajut ag-axjtst FxssransT Therefore, officials here are Inclined sourfS a warning1 against the ae-'-pptance of pessimistic statement frtr nythlng more than a reflection of the ; articular Industry or business about Vhlch the pessimist happens to be Informed. Gov. Ilardlns of the Federal Reserve Board has Insisted In h!s reent speeches that If the pessimist had ilone more talking last October, when retrenchment was being urged by the Kovernmemt. he would have been a valuable factor In the readjustment. But much of the pessimism Is berlnnlng to be circulated Just at the time whn many Industries aro on the upward swing and when their progress will be made painfully lower by the continuous murmuring about bad times enead. The clearest Iflea of the business readjustment whti fills country has experienced since the war Is riven by one man who uses the simile of a the march of the Industries themselves. The column has been nrvklns- a marching column of troops to Illustrate right wheel turn. The troops nearest rhe center move slowly and mark time. These are the Industries like the woolrn and text"!ie business, which wern hnrdeat hit last winter, and then mark ed time while they adjusted their labor costs, arranged their loans In banks, wrote oft their" loiwos, and then slowly began to move again. Most of the trades which suffered in December and January are gradually coming back i not rapidly, of course, but with sufficient progress to make the pessimist's prediction of "many years of .bad times" entirely unwarranted . It has been a matter of months and not years. WAOX CXTT MlOBABIiI Just now the oil and steel businesses are at the edge of the marching column with a long distance to go to
make the complete turn. Prediction as to when the steel business will have made the turn and gotten back Into line Is a matter of personal opinion ia 'Washington. There la, however, an Inclination to expect the steel industry to cut washes soon and CJt also the pi ice of steel. Kteel was In prosperous mood last winter t xr,ol fi1 11V n lwthewere In distress. There has ben a deci'l'il turn for the better In wool and f xtllos and leather wlilie steel is on rlie eilK of the marchlnr column. The industrial centers a.re he Inning to fe; ; he r-siljustnent pains which sli C. .. - ' - -
months ago were hardly felt. On the other hand the agricultural regions which sent out "S O S" calls all last winter now begin to see rays of sunshin ahead. Crops have been planted at lower cost. Copious rains In many sections of tha country have helped. The banks have tided over their customers and this year's earnings will be applied to pay off a portion, of last year's loses. Thus slowly the banker will be repaid and the farmer will get back on -his feet. T&otrsu pstt cho xx or cat. The main trouble In almost every
instance has been psychological. The
moment orders have been curtailed or prices have dropped certain producers have grown panicky. The bankers of the nation almost seem to have realized that the readjustment was both Inevitable and conquerable. They have financed their customers Jn ways that were not possible except under the Federal reserve system. The praises of the Federal reserve act are sung again and again where the truth about the last six months of American business has been fully understood. The Immense resources of the Federal reserve banks resisted the tide In splendid fashion and made it easy for one section of the country which was In a prosperous condition to lend money to the other without precipitating a general panic in which all might have suffered. The term "confidence" has been so much used that It does not always convey a strong Impression. But the truth Is government officials are as sure about the turn for the better In business conditions as they are that the autumn follows summer. "his confidence growns out of the facftl7at already the views expressed the government experts last December have been ,bsolutely confirmed. The readjustment has followed the expected llnesi One business after the other has had Its struggle with high labor costs, war extravagances and Insufficient methods, which always come with sudden expansion. The spring revival in some businesses was more than was anticipated. In others it proved that the readjustment had not gone far enough. Conservative Judgment Is being expressed about the autumn, but the wis heads in American Industry are making excellent use of the summer months to readjust and plan for the march beyond the September milestone.
