American Business Sways
Affairs in European Areas
By SAM DAWSON
New York. June 22 0P Just how much of the near-miss of the
four powers at Paris can be chalked up to the American business
slump is anyone's guess.
But Russian and Western European obsession with America's
economic health is growing and probably has a lot to do with
their political decisions. Russia, 1
particular, frankly bases
much of her world plans on a
belief that the United States is
cracking up. The slump here
may have led her to change
back from conciliation to what
many regard as renewal of
her stalling tactics.
It is also notable that Moscow
and Wall Street vie with each
other these days in seeing which
can take the darkest view of
the American business future.
This may come as a surprise
to most American, especially
those far removed from the
nervous canyons of New York.
American generally are aware
that the boom is over and a
slump on, but they see nothing
yet to justify the term "crisis,
nor the likelihood of one.
Moscow jubilantly reports
every sign of recession here. It
calls the slump "the deepening
United States crisis" and consid
ers it the beginning of the end
for the whole free enterprise
system.
The Kremlin notes with
pleasure that each drop in prices
on the New York Stock Ex
change, no matter how few
shares of stock actually are sold,
brings on a sympathetic shud
der in the London Exchange.
Moscow doesn't like British so
cialism any better than it does
American capitalism.
The British are reported
watching the American slump
with fear and trembling. Their
economic fate is much more
r
Something new has been added ...

closely tied with ours now than
it was before the war. Too, a
tightening economy here may
spur congressional economy in
handing out money to Europe.
Americans long have been
used to, if always a little sur
prised at, the exaggerated views
of American life taken by Euro
peans. For example, any Chi-
cagoan travelling in Europe long
ago became accustomed to being
regarded as the constant target
of gangster bullets on his home
streets.
Now, it seems, Europe takes
the same exaggerated view of
each advance in the Jobless total
here, each drop in stock prices,
each slide in commodity prices
back toward a less inflated level.
The American businessman
probably doesn't realize to just
what extent he is news these
days in the European press. And
he probably doesn't share, nor
deserve, the dim view of his
competence and levelheaded
ness currently fashionable in
Wall Street and Moscow.
Wall Street's views are not, as
are Moscow's, built on any lack
of faith in the free enterprise
system. But the Street does sub
scribe to the belief that after a
boom must come a slump. And
it does take the view that this
business recession is being aided
and abetted by government
policies unfriendly to business,
and it fears that the rebound
in which it has real faith will
be delayed by government
policies it considers aimed at
creating a welfare state.
That Is why you hear the
word "depression" in Wall
Street, and don't hear it often
in the larger and calmer sectors
of American life.
For it's a street of exaggera
tions, too. When it puts on
glasses, they are apt to be dark
- . yours or rosier than
yours.
