The raliroads, he declared, are G0 per cent behind the lead of the country. i Comparing conditions of 1920 with those of today, Mr. Baldwin said that while in 1920 there were fajlures everywhere, there is now a great de- mand for all materials and commodi- ties and that there is no need for anybody to be idle. There is plenty of good business ahead for everybody, he eald, and that the only question is labor. Living in “Promised Land.” “People who once worked in ditches and on raflroads, now decline to do that kind of work,” sald Mr. Baldwin, “and we may have to import labor.” “I have never seen the people of the United States with 8o much money; I have never seen the time wheny there was so much money in the banks. We are not looking for- ward to_the ‘promised land,’ we are in it. The only bright spot in the world is the United States.
