TIDINGS SENT BROADCAST
Bulletin Issued by Organization
Draws Attention to Hopeful
Signs in Business World and
Scouts Alarms.
A message of confidence in the pres-
nt commercial situation in the United
States and renewed, hope for increased
prosperity is contained in the current
bulletin of th.-Ktional Association of
Credit Men, copies of which were re
ceived by credit officers in nearly all
Portland commercial Institutions yes
terday.
- "It is natural," says the bulletin, "to
compare eigns and tendencies now
prevalent to our commerce with condi
tions that existed in 1907 and just prior
inereio.
"The strain of 1907 repeated the his
tory of every serious financial panic in
our Nation's commerce by following a
periot of unwise credit extension nd
the Inflation of certain commodities
beyond a safe point or a reasonable
value. There has been no such period
f extension and inflation since 1907,
therefore one of the fundamental causes
of etrain or panic is not to be reck
oned with in the present situation. -.
"The closing of the stock exchanges
and the elimination of an immediate
market here for our securities held
abroad was timely, and we have every
reason to believe, based upon unim
peachable information, that these ex
changes will remain closed so long as
our gold stock may be menaced by
threatened selling orders from abroad.
"To offset our debts abroad for mer
chandise and securities purchased by
us, there is at present a movement
of grain, canned goods, coal and other
commodities to Europe.
"This is the time, above all times,
when one should not endeavor to throw
the burden upon someone else, to spec
ulate upon a probable rise in values
or to be in any wise selfish or unco
operative. "The retailer must recognize the de
pendence of the wholesaler or manu
facturer upon his redemption of obli
gation; and thus between wholesaler
and manufacturer and manufacturer
and banker there should be active, hon
est co-operation and a division of the
burdens, so that it may be safely car
ried, find no disturbance or breaking
down occur in our credit system.
'There is no occasion for alarm, but
every reason for the exercise of
steadiness and co-operation. We are to
meet successfully all situations arising
from the regrettable conflict abroad
and maintain the integrity and stabil
ity of the Nation's credit."
The National Association of Credit
Men consists of about 20,000 members
throughout the country, and the receipt
of this bulletin by this number of per
sons, whose influence extends into al
most every line of trade, is expected
to have a buoyant effect upon business
generally.

sonal success. " lc"
Miss Murray at age of 12 played

ily, her father being Captain Blair
Murray, of the Seventh Hussars. So
great has been the success of this
clever little actress Jn America that she
makes her permanent home on this side

LESS TRAVELING DONE
V. P. TRAFFIC DIRECTOR SAYS
FREIGHT MOVEMENT SORXAL
Effect of Canal Kot Knows Definitely.
So Carriers Make No Move
to Meet Conditio na,
"In spite ot the war, freight traffic
is maintaining its normal volume."
said B. L. Wlnchell. traffic director oi
the Union Pacific system,-who was In
Portland Monday, after an Inspection
trip over part of the O.-W. R. & N.
territory in the three Northwestern
states.
"Passenger traffic alone is failing to
hold up. That probably Is because peo
ple can get along with less travel, and
when there is danger of depression
they stay at home.
"This European war has frightened
a lot of people, and they are retrench
ing. Travel Is one of the first ltema
of expense that people usually elim
inate. If the war should end soon. I
believe the volume of travel would re
turn to the normal."
Mr. Wlnchell, who has traveled
through the wheat and fruit belts of
Oregon. Washington and Idaho, says
that farmers are moving their grain
in about the same proportions as last
year. There is a disposition on the
part of some to wait for even higher
prices, but this is offset by the ship
ments of those growers who contract
ed for the sale of their crops befor4
the era of high prices set in.
"It is too. hard to tell what will b
the effect of the Panama Canal on th
railroad business," he said.
"It is true that we are feeling the
effects, but we are unable now to
analyze them. We don't know, what
commodities are most affected and
what districts are affected. ,
"Not knowing these details, it la im
possible for. the carriers to determine
what course they must take to meet
those conditions."
