Crepoohe ee ee ees The Task We Must Face The administration that encouraged profiteer- ing during the war, rather than service men who are now to receive adjusted compensation, should be the object of censure. While we are in one sense about to distribute a gratuity to World War veterans, yet in doing so we are ac tually: liquidating another liability bequeathed to the Republican party by the former Wilson administration. The veterans had just ground for complaint because they were taken under the draft and sent to France to fight in the trenches at $30 a month while other; men, exempted for one reason or another, stayed at home and were permitted and officially encourgged to prof- iteer. 4 The bitter fight over the soldiers’ bonus hav- ing ended in victory for the proponents of the measure, the country must now lay aside the objections that were raised against it and pre- pare to meet its obligations. The cost was stated by President Coolidge in his veto message and it becomes more impressive as the magnitude of the task confrontitng the government is real- ized. A ‘huge new administrative bureau must be created at once, and an army of clerks, number- ing at least thirty-five hundred, must be mobil- ~* Gzed. The cost of operating this bureau the first year, before the ex-service men have received a dollar of their bonus money, is estimated at $6,500,000 These clerks must examine 1,080 tons of documents arranged in 7,066 steel file cases which would reach five miles if placed end to end. They cover 2.36 acres of floor space, and would fill fifty-four freight cars. In that huge collection are 167,000,000 papers covering the records of 6,893,000 men. In the army files 5,250,- 000 are eligible to make claims under the bonus Jaw, in the navy 563,000 and in the marine corps 80,000. For each of the next twenty years the bonus Jaw will require an average appropriation of $114,000,000 and the total appropriations . will aggregate $2,280,785,542 according to the esti- mates of the Veterans’ Bureau. The estimates of the treasury department are materially high- er, and if the past history of federal bureaus is accepted as an indication the total cost to the taxpayers will be a maximum figure that no- body has yet dared to mention. ‘the task of meeting the obligations legally recognized by the enactment of the adjusted compensation law should teach a lesson that will be applicable in the very near future. The Democratic party is seeking to return to power once more, and a chief source of inspiration for the profiteers during the war, Mr. McAdoo, is likely to be the nominee of that party. Whether he or some other be the nominee, when taxpayers mark their ballots next November they will do well to bear in mind the reasons why the bonus law was passed and not give their commission again to the political organization that furnish- ed the basis for the demand. Helpfulness to Latin America Success of the United States in alding other Latin-American republics encourages the belief that similar aid could be rendered to Mexico, if invited. Within the past quarter of a century representatives of the American government, co- operating with the sane and constructive ele- ments in the respective countries, have accom- plished these good works: Made Cuba a free and independent nation fand thrice restored order in the island republic. Put Panama on her feet following her revolt from Colombia, rendered the quntry sanitary and self-supporting, and the rehabilitation of her finances is now progressing under War- Swick. Established a customs.receivership in Haiti, “that she may pay her debts, appointed a fi nancial adviser who is untangling her finances, ‘trained a native constabulary, perfected sani- tation and aided in the drafting of a Haitian constitution. Practically the same things have heen done in the Dominican republic Established a customs receivership in Nicar- agua and created a high commission to see that Nicaraguan bonds are kept up. Now trying to straighten out the affairs of Honduras. Undertaken to adjust the affairs of the Guay- nt-| ial aggrandizement. a banking aystem as good as our own and much like it. Recently succeeded in restoring diplo- matic relations between Colombia and Panama after a severance of twenty-one years. Dissi- pated the bitterness engenered by the Panama canal question. Brought Chile and Peru together to arbitrate the Tacna-Arica controversy with fair promise of a successful termination of a quarrel which for forty years has threatened the entire South American continent. Helped .to make the Pan-American confer- ences the most successful and constructive in- ternational meetings recorded in the history of the human race, and events earnestly welcomed. In all these activities, and many more not listed, the United States has sought no unfair advantage and not one foot by way of territor- Mexico is bandrupt—down and almost out. Her government evinces a desire to do the right thing, but she is so straightjacketed with debt and economic demoralization that she can not properly function, Without progress she is doom- ed. If Mexico should ask the United States to undertake for her what has been performed for others, we are amply prepared by past experi- ences for the work of restoring her to health. Our past record affords ample assurance of Mex- ico’s future welfare in the event that we are asked to extend a helping hand. Facts Versus Sentiment In the long run, the course of business is gov- erned by facts, not sentiment, and the facts of the situation today do not justify a spirit of pessimiam. However unsatisfactory conditions may seem to be from the standpoint of the in- dividual business man, firm or industry, they are not unforseen and they are sound. During the war years and the postwar boom, the entire population of the United States ac- quired bad business habits. Money came easily and went easily. All became to a greater or less degree the prey of inflated ideas. High wages, high profits, high prices and capacity opera- tion became the standard of prosperity. The boom which occurred during the early months of 1923 confirmed a considerable section of the business public in its mistaken notions, and ap- parently it is yet believed by some that a sellers’ market and rising prices are a normal condition. It is now being rapidly demonstrated that such is not the case, but there is no justification for discouragement. At no time have there been grounds for any expectation of boom business in 1924. There have been and there continue to be adquate reasons for an expectation.of a fair volume of business and reasonable profits for those who know how to make them when com- petition is keen. It is true that buyers of all classes of goods are hesitant, advance orders are small and most industries are well below capacity. There has been some increase in unemployment. Even in industries in which there has been no marked curtailment of operations, great ‘sales resistance is met, selling costs are high in consequence, and profits are hard to make. Despite these unquestioned evidences of a slowing down, there hag been no change since the beginning of the year in the fundamental factors underlying business. At that time those | generally recognized as favorable were: Adequate supplies of credit and stable money rates, Expectation of fairly stable prices. Reasonable stocks of goods. f Continuance of foreign trade in fair volume, probably at not far from the levels of 1923. Full employment, due in considerable part to an active building and construction program, continued improvement and expansion of rail- road facilities, and a high rate of automobile output, with conrequent stimulation of subsid iary and allied industries. The factors generally recognized as adverse were: i Unsatisfactory agricultural situation. Overbuilt industries. Little likelihood of any material expansion of foreign markets, either for farm products and raw materials or for manufactures. Heavy public expenditures and high taxes. Unsettling effects of political agitation. Money is amply available and rates are low- er than at the beginning of the year. It is true that the prices of a number of com modities have declined much more than the gen- eral price level, but such adjustments are al- ways in progress. It is impossible that so mod- erate a rate of general decline could be disas- trous to business. As to stocks df goods, the evidence is that in a number of lines inventories are moderately higher than a year ago, but even in those lines of business where the most pronounced dullness prevails at the moment, they are not heavy enought to constitute a burden when measare? by an average rate of consumption. Conditions affecting foreign trade have remained practi- cally unchanged since the beginning of the year. General opinion seems to be that a consider- able part of the building shortage hag been made up. However, contracts already Jet assure ‘sus- tained activity through the customary building season and there is no evidence of a sudden ces- sation of building operations such as has not in- frequently ushered in a business depression. It seems likely that te volume of ‘building will de- cline gradually to a rate commensurate with the ordinary growth of population and will be main- tained there indefinitely. . Although the railroads are no longer under the pressure of necessity which spurred them on a year ago, the fact that car orders during the first four months of 1924 were practically the ie as for the corresponding period of 1923 indicates that the roads are continuing an ac- tive policy of betterment. Automobile output during the first four months of 1924 was 166,- 000 in excess of the first four monthd of last year. Sales have been somewhat disappointing not because they have not been large, but be- cause they have not been up to rather exagger- ated expectations. aquil-Quita railroad so inextricably interwoven} There is some unemployment, especially in the with those of aador.
