In this respect, Washington does not differ from other communities throughout the country. Many. of our citizens today are worrying over the past instead of working for the brilliant future which inevitably must be the lot of the Capital City of the United States. With-the stock market crash a year behind us; with abundant money available for business expansion at reasonable rates, with commodity prices at new low levels, and with the shelves of the merchants of the coun- try depleted, the stage is set for a re- vival of normal business operations. It is eminently proper that Wash- ington should take the lead in this movement to prove to the Nation that she is ‘worthy of the prestige which rightly belones o her as the Nation’s Capital. “ This is the Heart of America and out of the heart must come Faith—busi- ness needs it—business wants it. Let us show it by expanding our spend- ing plans to take advantage of pres- ent low prices. We urge this in the belief that our action will aid ma- terially in restoring normal business conditions and in multiplying local opportunities for gainful employ- ment.
