Mrs. Patterson, Editor. Drive Money Away? Foolish Farmer Question. Copyright King Faaturea Synd. Ino. By rc(iH'Nt Otto II. Kalin, who knows business ami thinks about it, discusses the present depression : 4 "It is a world-wide, not a 'nited ,St;ites, depression. It bbyan, largely, with the peaee treaties of 1019 and 1920." Many littl.i nations were formed. They broke away from j the ;" general flow of trade of the world," with "its liberal and discriminatory regulations ami threw impediments across the highways along which trade had moved for generations." M However, money is more abundant than it has ever been, too uhumlaut, possibly. Important raw materials and commodities are selling at, or below, the cost of production. In some lines consumption is greater than production, liusi Jiiess must improve in those 'lines. We went ahead too fast, im proving machinery, junking men. We built up gigantic or ganizations faster than we could find able men to manage them. No use building a ship until you have a captain. Wise ilr. Kahn is not dis couraged. He need not be, for he probably has $100,(11)0,000. "America is a' nation of 12i5, 1)00,00(1 inhabitants, hard work ing, resourceful, enterprising, with' natural advantages such us none other possess or ever did possess." Mr. Kahn concludes that "the best, guide for forecasting America's future is America's past." Mis.
