MODERATE PROSPERITY FORECAST. Continued but probably in moderate proportions than last year, js forecast for 1928 by many leaders of capital, labor and in government circles, The concensus of opinion seems be that conditions in the first six months of the current year will be about on a par with the e for all of 1927, and probably a little those for the correspond- ing period in 1927 Thig is voiced by the -Continental Trust Company, Chicago, which, in the outlook for this year, said in part: We find no evidence of a coming period of depression. We do not antici- pate business expansion of such pro- portions as to justify use of the word “boom.”” We do expeet continuance of generally prosperous business. And we don't mean ‘“profitless prosperity” either. * * The possibility of a boom is so remote as (o be dismissed sum- marily. * * * Business this Fall did not expand as was generally expected. The most disturbing question in mak- jng n forecast for the first half of 1928 js this: What will be the monetary < ‘policy of the Reserve Banks after the turn of the vear? The policy of prosperi more | to below Bank and surveying a lower rates, inaugur- ated in August, h checked the gold inflow into the United States and aided the Bank of England. For a long time the policy had been one of checking speculation in the domestic security and commodity markets. Will the new pol- jey, related primarily to international conditions, be continued? Or will the recent increase in commodity prices and the rise in stock prices lead to a policy of highrr rates? or irregularity LARGER | | which | best withdrawal of foreign depos- banks hy the open mar- inkers acceptances and ities, particularly the hase iment st vast amount be ex- without of gold could danger. And if neces- the effect of this outflow of gold could be offset by Reserve Bank pur- chases of “governments” and by the substitution of Federal Reserve mnotes | for gold certificates. For the first half of 1928 we predict prosperity. The money income of the farmer beautiful back-log purchas- ing power. ‘The prospect is for main- tenance of industrial employment and the sustained income of industrial work- ers will help sustain business. The probabilities that industrial produc tion will maintained at least at the present level and may increase very eas- ily after the turn of the year. Moderate inventories point to this conclusion. Easy ey is best guess and this con- dition always sustains business. * * * Profits will be earned, trnly earned, efficient management.

It is doubtful, however, if the University here will ever produce crews strong enough to give the Washington Huskies a close contest. Though B. C. has the material for champion oarsmen and that without recruiting them by “scouting’ through all the prep schools of the Province: it is unlikely that the highly systematized coach- ing and training methods of U. 8. will be adopted here. And champion intercollegiate crews, it seems, are produced only by those methods. has done ed Loyalty A Characteristic. ccordova T'imes.) When a friend or a relative from a far-off community visits you and says his town is the town on earth, agree with him. Be glad that for him it is so, and: admire him for stand- ing up for his own, in the face of what ought to be a reversed judgment on your part. If there were not people——many, many people ——in every city, town, village, hamlet or rural district who think their community is the garden spot of the earth, this country could not prosper, and happiness would go a-begging. The busi- ness of Cordova's people is to see that Cordova receives its full share of this common loyalty |from among its own citizens, by making it one of the best communities on earth, as well as saying so to the rest of the world. Cordova prospers when human aspirations| continue to go upward. It prospers when its lown people develop it from within to the extent |that it attracts the rest of the world from with- lout.
