It was inevitable that, after a period of infla- tion and of over-development of productive capacity, failures should be numerous. While the elimination of those concerns which cannot continue in business without reorganization has disturbing effects, it pre- pares the way for a larger volume of business by those organizations which can survive the intense competition of a reconstruction period. With established improvement evident in so many phases of the economic situation, it appears that, although weak spots remain, this country is in a fair way to proceed toward general prosperity.

Tho truth is that in- j dustry is near the end of its coal age, Steam, if the figure may be permitted, is on its last legs. The small isolated steam power plant, the steam-driven locomative, in another generation or two, will be almost as truly relics as are Deadwood stage, General Wash- ington’s carriage or the gilded and be- dizened state chariot in which the |lord mayor ot London once a@ year makes a show of himself by journoy- ing from Temple Har to the Man- sion House in medieval grandeur. The other day I stood on a high point on the south bank of the Ten- nesses, at a point where the roaring stream ts nearly two miles wide, and Suggests the Amazon or Yukon. My engineering friend pointed to the stream and said: “At today’s stage of the river there 1s elght hundred thousand horsepow- er passing us. It is the power which we must harness, here and in hun- dreds of other places, if we are to maintain our national postiion indus- trially. For power derived from steam and coal is utterly inadequate to the demands of industrial chemistry and the electric furnace. Power from coal and steam has been found to be ut- terly too expensive, save in the most favorable circumstances. “In this new age of hydro-electric Power and industrial chemistry, there will be revolutions in industrial rela- tions. For instance, Italy, the oldest western civilization, well nigh fell out of/competition during the age of steam because it has no coal. We think of South America as unable | ever to develop its mineral and metal wealth because it has no coal. But today Italy is fairly launched upon development of its water powers, among the greatest and cheapest. Whenever Italy can command the capital, its water powers will make it one of the first industrial areas in the world. “Both South America and Africa far surpass Iforth America and Eur- ope in water powers. We think of Nia- gara, where there is already a com- mercial development . approaching a .| million horsepower, and imagine that our continent leads the world.
