WE BELIEVE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
Christmas business for 1929 was
as good as a year before, according
to reports from every part of th<
country. Merchants had expected s
decline of 16 or 20 per cent. People
who made It their business to anal
yse economic forces say that one rea
son why people did not cut down on
their Christmas shopping after thi
Wall street slump was because the
President's business conferences In
Washington had restored public con
fldence in the soundness of thi
Nation's Industries and reassured thi
timid ones.
If It Is true, it is a good augun
for the new year. The President’»
purpose In calling business leaden
to disclose their plans for the future
and In urging Governors and Con
gress to accelerate the spending o
public funds tor roads, waterways
buildings and other public works
was the hope that the response'
would prove so encouraging as t<
allay fear for the future. That turn
ed out to be the case.
Mr. Hoover recognized the truth o
Woodrow Wilson’s famous statemen'
that good times and bad times ar
usually the result of the mental at
tltude of the crowd. Business met
of today understand that. If th
mass of the people believes thr
things are going to go well, an
prove that belief by spending mone;
as freely as ever, then things do g<
well. If the majority Is timid am
hesitant about purchases and In
vestments, things go badly and w<
have hard tim es..
The year 1930 has hardly begun
but alroady the outlook seems bright
er than It looked a couple of month
ago. The public has realized mor>
completely and speedily than ha
been hoped that the United States 1

tiny, which Is that of a nation 1)
which neither poverty nor sufferlni
shall befall even the least of its cltl

so wills It.
