PAYNE, RURNS & SM NEW YORK : Hoover on Prosperity Has the business cycle been abolished, or will we have a periodic repetition of old-fashioned “hard times”? Here is the opinion of Herbert Hoover, as given in an interview just printed in the Maga- zine of Wall Street: “T can say that I believe that the profound forces which have been in motion in the whole t business world, particularly during the past 15 ‘years, are making for greater stability, and ‘have, in my view, greatly mitigated the vio- * lence of the business cycle. * “It seems impossible that the old terror- ? stricken panic can ever return, and I fervently hope that those periodic stretches of heart- + breaking unemployment, back-breaking prices 1o farmers, bankruptcies to business men ' through no fault of their own, are on their } way to history if we only continue wise. : “Many factors contribute to this hope. The ' Federal Reserve System has already proved its ability to guarantee against money panic. gives a large measure of assurance of a con- tinuous flow of credit. Business concerns have today larger working capitals of their own,|! j. e., less proportion of inventories carried on All this contributes to freedom from interruption of production and distribu- tion through accidental or artificial restriction bank loans. of credit. “One of the supposed broader causes of the business cycle was that in the rise from a slump, increased employment brought larger ings and profits, that these savings and profits sought employment in expansion of in- dustry which in time brought about over-ex: _ pansion and over-production, thence the slum | One might conceive this to be tru | the variety of business was limited and if in- creased production did not bring about de- mi creased costs and consequent wider consump- If all savings had to be poured back in- to expansion of the industries from which they - were derived, and if there were no expansion - in demand for their products, this would prob- _ ably be true. the other ha savil tion. welt ‘or new ind in automobile: less applicable. responsibility f wasteful labor conflicts.

S. A, Unlimited, in nine or ten thousand Curiosity about this diagnosis of “the state of the Union” probably has centered in what Mr. Coolidge would have to say about farm If a better discussion of the agricul- tural problem has ever been condensed into something like a thousand words, it has escaped our attention. The progress made in the past year is summed up in a paragraph—better bal- anced production, reduced costs, prices that ap- proach normal relgtion to other prices, im- proved marketing methods, more diversifica- In short, scientific methods in produc- tion, business principles in marketing.

Price fixing and subsidy both tend to in- crease the surplus, instead of diminishing it. If the Government should get behind price fixing ‘and subsidy, aggravated gby political pressure, it would soon be obliged to tell the farmer what and how much and where to plant, and what and how much and Where to sell it. So runs the Coolidge argument. he rightly says, will be of permanent value to the farmer that does not leave him standing on his own foundation. . The cure for surpluses lies in reduced acre- The Government cannot order acreage reduced. Nor can the individual farmer. aided by the Department of Agriculture in- formation, and backed by banks and others who supply credit, farmer organizations can. The Government can assist these cooperative organ- izations in various ways. This brings the President to an outline of what may be called the Administration plan: Set up a Federal board of experts to encourage the cooperative movement, and provide a re- volving fund at a moderate rate of interest for its financing. This would not be to lend more money to the farmer who is already fairly financed, but to lend money temporarily to ex- perimental marketing organizations. This was the method of the War Finance Corporation, and it worked well. Mr. Coolidge is not much impressed with tariff tinkering as a farm relief remedy. He argues with much force that to destroy the farmer’s domestic market in order to lower the prices he pays for manufactured products, | would be foolish. Driving industry to Europe might help Europe to buy more food, but} Europe might not buy our food. Sixty-five per} cent of our imports already come in free. Lux-| uries and agricultural products account for an-| if other 23 per cent. This leaves only 12 per cent| for application of the lowered tariff remedy. However, the President does not discuss the! uch better plan of raising the rates on such agricultural products as are now imported to compete with domestic farm prod butter, poultry, and various vegetable oils. certainly right in opposing any measure that will injure the high purchasing power of the American people.
