BUSINESS ALREADY HAS BEGUN UPWARD CLIMB, KLEIN SAYS Assistant Secretary of Com- merce Believes Depression Has Reached Bottom PREDICTS A ‘BUMPY’ RISE Declares‘ Economic Shell Shock’ and ‘Panicky Psychol- ogy’ Are Over Detroit, Mich, March 18—(%)— Business men were described Wednes- day by Dr. Julius Klein, assistant) secretary of commerce, as free from “economic shell shock” and “panicky psychology,” while business climbs up- ‘ward. Depression has reached or passed its bottom, Dr. Klein told the Detroit board of commerce, although “we may bump along” for a while in returning to higher trade levels. “We have had enough of arm wav- ing hysteria, whether in a delirium of joy or despair,” he added. “x x x business has, mentally speaking, step- ped off the swooping roller coaster and is basing its plans on the solid realities. x x x “The available statistical record for February shows that business in that month underwent a normial seasonal improvement from the low levels of January. This is pretty good evidence that the long decline has at last been halted, and that an appreciable degree of recovery is in sight. “The probability that the worst of the depression is behind us is not to be understood as f a sharp and sustained advance from present levels back to normal. A brisk, spectacular ascending spurt, might not be an unmixed good, even in the rather unlikely event that it should come. “We are in the convalescent stage after a prolonged economic illness. ‘We should be well satisfied, I think, if our improvement is gradual at first lest we suffer another relapse. “In all conservatism I may say that, unless important breaks should oc- cur in the security or commodity markets, it seems likely that activity in the second quarter of the present first quarter of the present year will slightly exceed that of the first quarter, and that business in the fall will be unmistakably on the up- grade. Klein cited increasing output of automobiles, enlarging orders for cot- ton goods, and increased industrial employment during February as signs of betterment, while he added that “promising political developments in Europe and the far east also have a significant bearing on the situation.” American Women Missionaries Are Killed by Chinese Peiping, China, March 18—(P)— Mrs, Vera Mosebar White, Battle Ground, Wash. and Mrs. Victoria Marian Miller, whose mother lives at 1008 Eas. Olympic avenue, Spokane, Wash., were slain in their sleep Sun- day night at Yunnanfu. They were missionaries of the Seventh Day Ad- ventist mission.

A message to the United States legation here from Consul Stevens brought word of the killings. The skulls of both women had been fractured by hatchets. Two children of Mr. and Mrs. White were not molested. c Yunnanfu authorities were search- ing for the assailants but had made no arrests.

Therefore, it is often more important to know where the Seed was grown than to know the variety, so faras yield and adaptabil- ity concerned. 5 , THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.
