Nothing seems to discourage those fi- naneial prophets; they keep right on prog- nostieating better times.

In fact, they know there is no capitalistie countries such as India. Econ- omic breakdowns in such countries are re- actions to depressions in capitalistie coun- tries. Do not hastily conclude from this that capitalism is a failure. The nén- capitalist countries have chronic misery! and recurrent famines. The awful spec- | tacle of children starving to death by | thousands is to be seen only in ae ae which has not developed capitalism, ahd | in Russia. . . “Just as they hesitate to assign a | specific cause for depression, so do the} economists refrain from proposing a patent cure. They know that the one cure is that one remedy for all.human ills—time. . . Sey. “Trying to'foree recovery by statute | is ‘like standing up in a sailboat and blow- | ing on the sails“ The speed of the boat} is‘detérmined by forces outside it. . .” } It is natural that we should attempt to abnormally force recovery, and it is almost inevitable that such efforts should largely fail. Economic laws which are as old as organized government cannot long be cir- cumvented—precisely as these laws make depressions, they eventually present us; with the cure. No one conversant with | the history of this country can believe that it will not pull itself out of the doldrums —but natural, not artificial, forces will de- serve most of the credit when that is done. THE CLIPPER SHIPS News dispatches recently mentioned the sale of an unusual antique, described as an item in the “art” collection of Max Williams of New York. It was a 2,000-ton vessel, the Benjamin F. Packard, last of the clipper ships, saved from the scrap- heap as a relic when placed out of com- mission a few years ago. The achievement of the long line of American clipper ships which carried the Stars and Stripe: nd bore American com- merce on the seven seas are notable in the history of navigation. These sturdy and speedy vessels represented the last effort } of the sailing ship to compete with the | steamer on long voyages with heavy cargo. Though finally defeated, they delayed the | victory of steam propulsion for many years. First of the clipper type was the Rain- bow, built in 1843 at Baltimore, home of a} famous fleet of these fast vessels, which | often beat the steamers of their day in tiantic voyages. The quickest ! crossing of the Atlantic under sail is said to have been that of the Dreadnought, New| York to Ireland, in 12 days, in June, 1859. H Another famous record was that of the Lightning, built in Boston, which once! sailed 2,550 English miles in seyen days. | The fastest da record ever made by al sailing ship on any sea was 437 miles in 24 | hours by the Sovereign of the Seas, during a voyage between New York and San Fran- cisco. From the Rainbow to the Benjamin F. Packarl these speedy clippers served their owners and their country well.
