HOOVER CONFIDENT | OF BETTER TIMES Indiana G. 0. P. Editors Told: Signs of Improvement and Need for Confidence. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June lfl—ln: & speech delivered last night before hule gathering at the annual hmun of Indiana Republican Editors’ Anoclnlon President Hoover expressed absolute confidence in the successful outcome of the present business depres- ston and at the dame time made the prediction that when the storm has passed this Nation is in stcre for a greater and more wholesome prosperity than it has ever known. ‘While there was a most optimistic ring to the President's utterances on thls occasion he did not make the dec- laration that the worst of the crisis is over. But he conveyed the impression that that is his own belief and the belief of many others. And, if that bte true, the President sald the future months will not be difficult. If the end is not yet in sight and more of this depression period must be endured, then the American people must gird themselves to steadfast effort, he ‘warned. ‘There was no mistaking Mr. Hoover's econfidence. It was plainly evident by his words of assurance that he is hop- ing to see more of this confidence among the people of the country. As an inspiration in this respect he re- minded his auditors that every one should have full faith and confidence in thcse might resources and spiritual forces which have impelled this Na- tion to & success which he declared had never been known in the history of the world. Spiritual Forces Stronger. ? further attempt to promote a lrut eeling of confidence Mr. Hoover ve assurance that these forces are ar frmn being impaired as a result of this crisis and that they were never stronger than at this moment. By this intimate and optimistic dis- cussion of the business depression, which in his own opinion is the most dominant subject before the country and the world today, Mr. Hoover is ex- pected by many who heard him last night to succeed in creating a more hopeful spirit and a greater feeling of confidence in the ultimate outcome. This utterance is expected to rank among the most important speeches he has made since becoming President. It 1s believed doubtful if he will utter any- thing of greater significance during the remainder of the year, or at least until the next national campaign. In his opening remarks, which were not incorporated in his set speech, Mr. Hoover expressed his appreciation of the reception accorded him by the peo- ple of Indiana; expressed his pleasure at meeting the Indiana pubuenn editors and reminded them of their responsibilities as molders and in- terpreters of public opinion in their communities; emphasized the impor- tance of organized political parties; and pald a tribute to Indiana’s congres- sional delegation. “Without organized political parties' oo, striving to serve the best interests of | the American people,” Mr. Hoover said, “we would descend into political an- archy and be torn into poullc-l factions Tepresenting selfish, sectional and group minorities. The purpose of party or- ganization must be to promote the n: tional welfare, Nothing is more certain | than good government in good politics.” Heard by Millions. This vitally important message of the President to the people of the land was | not only heard before the more than | 900, 5,000 men and women attending the editors’ banquet and the several thou- sand others who heard him on the out- side of the building through the medium of amplifiers, but millions of others throughout the land heard him over a coast-to-coast radio hook-up. ‘The banquet was held in the huge Manufacturers’ Building, at the Indiana State Fair Grounds, on the outskirts of the city. The seating of 5,000 persons at one banquet was indeed an impres- sive sight. Amplifiers made the Presi- dent's voice clearly audible. This grea sight, along with the enthusiastic man- ner in which he and Mrs. Hoover were welcomed, contributed much to the President’s enjoyment and interest. Be- sides, the feature course of the dinner itself was one especially to his liking— fried chicken with cream gravy. Paul R. Bausman, president of the editors’ association, presided. Among the guests ‘were many men prominent in the polit- ical and social life of the State, among them being Gov. Harry G. Leslie and Mrs. Leslie, at whose home here the President and Mrs. Hoover were over- night guests. After admitting that times have been bad. the President gave the reminder that if the country to proceed with sanity the people must not look only “at the empty hole in the middle of the : doughnut.” Instead the people must bear in mind the marvelous resources in land, mines, mills, man power, brain power and courage in this country, Mr. Hoover said. He recalled that despite the depression and its subsequent drop in trade and employment, more than 95 per cent of the families of the United States have either an income or a breadwinner employed. Mr. Hoover took ocmhn to an- swer those of his eritics who have claimed that he and the Government have not done all that could be done to meet the situation. All sorts of suggestions of ways to meet the problem have been made, he said. Many of these ‘were sound and helpful, but others were theoretical panaceas, which, according inevitably delay recovery. le, he added, had actu- the American system and demanded abrupt and positive change, while others have seized the ogpormn!t to agitate for the adoption of ewnomn patent medicines from for- lands, while still others have con- fidence by some legerdemain we can Lefllhul ourselves out of a world-wide e) lon. n the words of Mr. Hoover, it would be as easy to legislate our way out of this depression as it would be to exor- clse a Caribbean hurricane by statutory lt was easy to be seen by Mr. Hoover's discussion that he not only visions clear skies ahead but that he can put his finger on the evils \nd weak spots of the economic systems of this country, and that he -lrndy has planned for their correction and remedy. He not only said a great lesson will be learned from this depression, but he took pains to explain what the lulon has been and to say what can be gained perience.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 16.—Ad- Indians Republican Edi- mum last night, mldmt . jpoke as follows: The business depression is the domi- ‘conf nant subject before the country and the world today.

I the pollc!u o?m tg Government in re- t pg:! renlom are not new experiences, thuulh none has hitherto been so wide- spread. We have h no less than 15 m}wrp::prullou in the llm century. We have learned some- thing as the result of each of .these exveriences. From this one we shall gain stiffening and economic discipline, & greater knowledge upon wi we must build a better ul!tullded sYsts depreasion Gt & persod of """'% lepress! s pe: of prospe! m:"f': than ever before. We shall do 50 Anw.lmkbeymdthehoflmvf our own troubles and consider the events in other lands, we know that the main causes of the extreme violence and the long continuance of this de- pression came not from within but from outside the Unlud States. Had our wild speculation; our stock promotion with its infinite lmlel and hll'leP to innocent le; our loose and extrava- gant ess methods, and our un- precedented ht, been our only dis- krl. ‘we would have recovered months A large part of the forces which have swept our shores from abroad are the mal inheritances in Europe of the Great War—its huge taxes, its mount- ing armament, its political and social ln.shbfl“.v its disruption of econcmic life by the new boundaries, Without the war we would have no such de- pression. Upon these war origins dre superimposed the overrapid expansion of production and collapse in price of many foreign raw materials. The de- monetization of silver in certain coun- | 5y, tries and a score of more remote causes have all contributed to dislocation. Some particular calamity has ha) to nearly every country in the world, and the difficulties of each have in- tensified the unemployment and finan- cial difficulties of all the others. As either the cause or the effect, we have witnessed armed revolutions within the past two years in a score of nations, not to mention disturbed political life in many others. Political instability has affected three-fou: of the population of the world. Independent Recovery. I do not at all minimize the economic interdependence of the world, but de- spite this the potential and redeeming strength of the United States in the face of this situation is that we are economically more self-contained than any other great nation. This degree of independence gives assurance that with the passing of the temporary dis- locations and shocks we can and will make a large measure of recovery irre- spective of the rest of the world. We did so with even worse foreign condi- tions in 1921. We can roughly indicate this high degree of self-containment. Our average annual production of movable goods be- fore the depression was about $50,000,- 000,000. We exported yearly about five billions, or 10 per cent. The world disruption has temporarily reduced our exports to about three and one-half bil- lions. In other words, the shrinkage of forelgn trade by one and one-half billions amounts to only 2 or 3 per cent of our total productivity. Yet as a re- sult of all the adverse forces our pro- duction has been reduced by, roughly, ten or twelve billions. This sharp con- trast between a national shrinkage of, say, $12,000,000,000 and a loss of $1,500,~ 000 from export trade is an indica- tion of the disarrangement of our own internal production and consumption entirely apart from that resulting from decreased sales abroad. Some of this enlarged dislocation is also due to the foreign effects upon prices of commod- ities and securities. Moreover, the repeated shocks from political disturbance and revolution in foreign countries stimulate fear and hesitation among our business men. These fears and apprehensions are un- necessarily increased by that minority people who would make political capital out of the depression through magnif; our unemployment _and losses. Other small groups in the busi- ness world make their contribution to distress by raids on our markets with purpose to profit from depreciation of securities -nd commodities. Both groups | are within the law; they are equally condemned by our public and business opinion; they are by no means helpful | to the Nation. Fear Is Economic Force. Fear and apprehension, whether their origins are domestic or foreign, are ! very real, tangible, economic forces. Fear of loss of a job or uncertainty as to the future has caused millions of our people urnecessarily to reduce their purchases of goods, thereby decreasing our production and employment. These uncertainties in consequence a mania for liquidation has reduced our stocks of goods and our credits far below any necessity. All these apprehensions and actions check enterprise and lessen our national ac- tivities. With no desire to minimize the realities of suffering or the stern task of recovery, we must appraise the other side of this picture. If we with sanity we must not look only at the empty hole in the middle of the doughnut. We must bear in mind at all times our marvelous resources in land, mines, mills, man power, brain power and courage. Over 95 per cent of our fam- ilies have either an income or a bread- ‘winner nnrpl:y;d Our maxle are worekd- nd are resolutely en; individually snd eollee'.lvely.’ ln'”e'h hauling and improving their methods and services. This is the fundamental method of repair to the wreckage from our boom of two years ago; it is the e, bu going on. Ith ear has resulted lnn'lln e duction in spending, yet these very re- savings banks until today they are the hmut in our history. Surplus money does not remain idle for long. Ulti- mately it is the most nt pro- moter of enterprise and of optimism. Consumption of retail goods in many lines is proceeding at & higher rate thln last year.

We are rigidly excllldlnl immigration until our own people are employed. The departures and deporta- tions today actually exceed arrivals. We are maintaining and will maintain sys- tematic voluntary organization in the community in aid of employment and care for distress. There are a score of other directions in which co-operation is organized and stimulation given. We pose to go forward with these major activities and policies. We will not be diverted from them. By these and other measures which we shall develop as the occasion shall require we shall keep this ship steady in the storm. We will prevent any unnecessary _distress in the United States, and by the activities and cou- rage of the American people we will re- cover from the depression. I would be remiss if I did not | tribute to the business, industry, lal and agricultural leaders for their re- markable spirit of co-operation. Their action is magnificent proof of the fun- damental progress of American instit tions, of our growth in social and eco- nomic understanding, of our sense of re:opgnslbmty and of human brother- Wages Maintained. Leaders of industry have co-operated in an extraordinary degree to maintain employment amd sustain our standards of living. There have been exceptions, | but they represent a small per cent of the whole. Labor has co-operated in prevention of conflict in giving greater effort and consequently in reducing unit costs. We have had freedom from | strikes, lockouts and disorder unequaled even in prosperous times. We have made permanent gains in national solidarity. Our poople can take justifiable pride that their united efforis have greatl; reduced unemployment, which would have otherwise been our fate; it is heavy but proportionally it is less than one-half that of other industrial coun- tries. Great as have been our difficul- ties no man can contrast them with our experiences in previous great de- pressions or with the condition of other important industrial countries without a glow of pride in our American system and a eonfidence in its future. While we are fostering the slow but positive processes of the healing of our economic wounds, our citizens are nec- essarily filled with anxiety, and in their anxiety there is the natural demand for more and more drastic action by the Federal Government. Many of their suggestions are sound and helpful. Every suggestion which comes within the proper authority and province of the executive is given most earnest con- sideration. Scores of Panaceas. We are, of course, confronted with scores of theoretical panaceas, which, however well intended, would inevitably delay recovery. Some timid people, biack with despair, have lost faith n our American system. They demand lbmpt and positive change. Others have seized upon the opportunities of d'scontent to agitate for the adoption of economic patent medicines from for- eign lands. Others have indomitable confidence that by some legerdemain we can legislate ourselvé out of & world-wide depression. Such views are as accurate as the belief we can exor- cise a Charibbean hurricane by statu- tory law. For instance, nothing can be gained in recovery of employment by detouring capital away from industry and com- merce into the Treasury of the United States, either by taxes or loans, on the assumption that the Government can create more employment by use of these funds than can industry and commerce itself. While I am a strong advocate of expansion of useful public works in hard times, and we have trebled our Federal expenditure in aid to unemploy- ment, yet there are ummuom upon the application of this princi only must we refrain from dustry and commerce of its capital and thereby increasing unemployment, but such works require long engineering and legal interludes before they produce ac- tual employment.

They found a tariff without discriminations among nations. They recommended universal adopt! of similar principles. Indeed, such a course would general.

From our prosperity comes our demand for their goods and raw materials. A pros- perous United States is the beginning of a prosperous world. Future Considered. ‘With industry as well as agriculture we are concerned not merely in the immediate problems of the depression. From the experience of this depression will come not only a greatly sobered and more emmnt econumle system than we 0 years ago, but & greater knowledp o( its weaknesses as well as a greater intelligence in correcting them. When the time comes that we can look at this depression objectively it will be our duty search- ingly to examine every phase of it. We can already observe some direc- tions to which endeavor must be ly | pointed. For instance, it is obvious that the Federal Reserve system was inadequate to prevent a large diversion of capital and bank deposits from com- mercial and industrial business into wasteful ition and stock promo- tion. It is obvious our banking system must be organized to give greater pro- tection to depositors against faflures. It is equally obvious that we must de- termine whether the facilities of our security and commodity exchanges are not being used to create ill imate speculaticn and intensify depressions. It is obvious that our taxes u capi- tal gains viciously promote the booms and just as viciously intensify depres- In order to avold taxes, real estate and stocks are withheld from the mar- ket in times of rising prices, and for the same reason large quantities are dumped on the market in times of de- Nation carefully and deliberately recon- sider the whole national and local problem of the incidence of taxation. ‘The undue proportion of taxes which farmers, home owners and all real-property holders, as wmp‘nd tb other forms of wealth and income, demands real relief.

If we. analyze the ideas which have been put forward for handling our great national plan, they fall into two . The first is whether we ghall with our American system which that the major purpose of a State is to protect the people and to give them equality of opportunity, that the basis of all happiness is in devel- pp by ogmem of the individual, that the sum progress can only be gauged by the rogress of the individual, that we lhuuld steadily build up co-operation among the people themselves to these ends. The other idea is that we shall directly or indirectly regiment the ulation intc a bureaucracy to serve ti of co-operation in plans and thereby lirect every man as to what he may or may not do. These ideas present themselves in practical questions which we have to meet. Shall we abandon the philosophy md creed of our people for 150 ynrl tunnn to a creed foreign to our people? Shall we establish a dole from the Federal Treasury? Shall we under- | take Federal ownership and operation of public utilities instead of the rigor- ous regulation of them to prevent im- position? Shall we protect our people from the lower standards of llvin. of foreign countries? Shall the Govern- ment, except in temporary national emergencies, enter upon business proc- esses in competition with its citizens? 8hall we regiment our reople by an extension of the arm of bureaucracy into & multitude of affairs? The future welfare of our country, 80 dear to and to me for ourselves and our children, depends upon the answer given. Policies Outlined. Our immediate and paramount task a5 a people is to rout the forces of economic disruption and pessimism that have swept upon us. The exact- ing duty of Government in these times is by use of its agencles and its influ- ence to strengthen our economic insti- tutions; by inspiring co-operation in the community to sustain good will and to keep our country free of dis- order and conflict; by co-operation with the people to assure that the de- serving shall not suffer; and by the conduct of Government to strengthen the foundations of a betur and strong- er national life. have been the objectives of my administration.in deal- ing with this, the greatest crisis the world has ever known. I shall adhere to_them. . If, as many believe, we have passed the worst of this storm, future months will not be difficult. If we shall be called upon to endure more of this period, we must gird ourselves to stead- fast effort, to fail at no point where humanity calls or American ideals are in jeopardy. Our transcendent momentary need is a much larger degree of confidence among our buSiness agencies and that they shall extend this confidence in more than words. If our people will g0 forth with the cpnfidence and enter- prise which our country justifies, mlny of the mists of this depression will fade away. In conclusion, whatever the immedi- ate difficulties may be, we know they are transitory in our lives and in the life of the Nation. We should have full faith and confidence in those mighty resources, those intellectual and spirit- ual forces, which have impelled this Nation to a success never before known in the history of the world. Far from being impaired, these forces were never stronger than at this moment. Under the guidance of Divine Providence they will return to us a greater and more wholesome prosperity than we have ever known.
