BABSON COMMENTS ON THE PACIFIC COAST, GENERAL OUTLOOK IS GOOD Quoted Toonily Only by The ierald), Mountain Lake, Florida, March 30, -~Roger W NBabson is resting here having just cosapleted his long trip ‘ol inspection throughout the different ucotions of the United States. He| " leaves here next week for his home in Wellesley Hills, M: 'his morn« ing he issued the following state: ment regarding the business pros- pects of the Pacific const, He added, | however, that he was unfortunately, uUnable to visit the coast on this trip and this statement is based upon statistical data and reports from his correspondents, “The Pacific Northwest,” says Mr.| Dabson, “is looking forward to better business, Prospects are encouraging for iumber, fishing, shipping, and agriculture. Practically all of the large: sawmills of Washington and Oregon are now operating, and pro- duction Is above normal. A number of mills are even operating two or three eight-hour shifts. Orders for lumber are averaging larger than! production in spite of strengthening | prices, Many mills have sufficlent Dbusiness on their books to keep them running at capacity for some months. On the whole the lumber outlook is; good for sofe time. Of course, the| bullding boom is largely responsible | for this active demand. Later, there may be a let-up, but I look for mec- tive residentlal building throughout the greater part of 1923. Salmon Outlook Good. “Salmon canning has a fairly good outlook. Plans have been made for a substantial increase in the pack this, year. The employment of more men,, and the purchases from sHips' chan- dlers, can-making plants, machinery houses, and food and clothing estab- lishments, will continue to contribute towards better business. From an agricultural standpoint, Washington and Oregon are in a better position than most states. Crop diversifica- tion is an outstanding factor. Mare- over, the crop yield each year is ex- ceptionally heavy. Apples, hops, berries and small fruits all bring wealth to the grower. Under these conidtions, the farmer of the Pacific northwest onters the new crop year | in a strong position. Thisf year's orops cannot be fully forecast, but Wheat came through the winter in ex- cellent shape and the canneries ap-| pear to have contracted for a large amount of berries and small fruit. Lumber Production. | “With lumber production at high | levels, with more active cannery operations than a year ago, with cone siderable ready cash in the fruit, sheep, and farming country, and with an increase in shipping trade, the Pacific northwest is headed to-| wards a gratifying ihcrease in busi- ness. Uniform and complete pros- perity cannot be expected for some time and there wiil he intermediate reactions. The outlook is relatively good, howover, and advertising and! gelling campaigns in this section phould produce generously. The prosperous Wanatchee Valley is most attractive; but Seattls, Tacoma, Port- land, and other Washington and Ore- on cities ‘also merit attention. i & “Regarding Califofnia.” Mr. Bab-| Kon says, “the northern part of Cali- fornia has .been settling down with the rest of the country. Lumbering, mining, stockraising, wool growing, canning and other lines, have been quite thoroughly | liquidated. San Francisco and the Yay region have been dull for over a year. For this part of the state a slow but steady improvement is in prospect. Southern California, on {he other hand, did not reach thel! peak of the present eyele until the latter part of 1921. It will doubtless cscape the critical phases of the de- pression;, nevertheless, it may not have completed its period of read- justment. “Many factors suggest this outlook for Southern California. I see noth-’ ing in any of these factors, however, to occasion alarm. The great diver- gity of crops and industries upon which Californai depends and the efficient marketing characteristic of the state should tend to prevent any serious depression. I emphasize the| probabiilty of further moderata liquidation, as T know from my cor- respondence that ‘many look for un- interrupted expansion. For the long pull, California is unquestionably, gound; but during 1923, business may mark time. Southern California ghould be included in all sales cam- paigns. but as the years progress both sales and credit departments should proceed carefully. “In explaining the reason for this," Mr. Babson continued, “if you ple-| ture the country as a placid lake and imagine that somebody drops a rock into New York, you will get a vivid idea of how an economic movement begins and develops. The ripples of | depression and prosperity spread to the north, the west and the south.| Take the recent depression, for ex-| ample. It started in the northeast, with a decline in the stock-market and a slowing down of New England factories. Then came the cfash in the agricultural west and south. Can. ada held up for some time after de: pression appeared in the states. Tha‘, Pacific coast was among the last areas to be effected. Improvement is going to follow much the same course. Many Factors Involved. “The northern parts of the Pacific coast district is running true to eco- nomic form. There was a distinct decline in Washington, Oregon, and northern California. Moreover, this decline did not develop until some time after the onslaught of the de- pression in the northeast. All this was entirely typical and easily fore- cast. In the southern section of Call- fornla, however, the trend has been greatly modified. Reaction has taken the form of a pause in growth rather than any prolonged downward move- ment. In Los Angeles, for example, during the boom year of 1919, busi- ness nearly doubled. But in 1921 it about held its own. It is possible, of course, that some weakness may de- velop later; but in view of the indus- trial progress of thc locality, such a recession should not be severe. “I hesitate when in Florida,” tinued the statistician, "to forecast definitely for California First, be. vause T am apt to bo misquoted by | some of the Florida enthusiasts; and aveondly, » I ieve and believe in the Pacific Coast. California may fome day have a population of 26.- i cm-| GOn,0h0—or perkaps more. it hus the possibllities of a great empire. On the other hand, it has no monopoly ot sunshine and its more rapid growth is due to the fact that Florida has been asleep. However, I say this as a friend of California because I want | . California to realize that during the! next ten years it will have more com- | petition than it has had during the PREHISTORIC TIME LINE 1§ INVADED Much Work of Importance Being Carried on at Present Time Washington, D, C.,, March 30—"Ex- past ten years, Trees do not grow to Plorers are making forays across the the skies and this applies to orapge 'no man's lands' of history, taking trees as well as to every other specie, [trench after trench of the prehistoric, Little does mendous during the past few years. These will come into bearing almost at one time ~—about 1927, Beginning then, there is bound to be a tremendous struggle for eastern markets between these two states, I want my frlends in Cali- fornia to be prepared for the flood when it comes. “Californla has thus far been sort of immune from the great business depressions,” added Mr, Babson in conclusion, “This is due to the great influx each ,year of new people with money, People who made money in other states have been carrying it to California. When business in Califor, nia would have fallen off, this natural decline was offset by new people and new money coming from other states. Can this always continue? I simply ‘ask the question and urge my good California friends to think about it In the meantime, let me say that bus- iness ,<taking the country as a whole, is making an exceptionally good showing., The Babsonchart stands to- day at 5 per cent normal compared with 12 per cent below normal a year ago: today.” California realize the tro- in many other places than Luxor," orange plantings in Florida says a bulletin from the Washington, 1, €., headquarters of the Natiopal Ge phic soclety, otable work is being carried on in the Holy Land, in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, in the Turkish Peninsula, and in Greece.

It"was estimated in February that nearly 60,000 Russians had come into China, Manchuria and Korea, and that probably 25 per cent of this to- tal were entirely destitute. Reports gathered by the American Red Cross from consuls and other officials indi- cated that a large proportion of the refugees were scattered through Man- churia, with colonies at Kirin, Muk- den and Hunchun. In Manchurla the relief work is under the direction of Morgan Palmer. Meanwhile, various agencles were called on to care for the growing number of Russian expartriates in )/ do better.
