BUSINESS? HEADED SLOWLY
Hy basic conviction is that
inf; slowly toward a normal economic condition iid
will reach it some time within the year 1931," says John E.
Ednei'ton, president of Hie National Assoeiation of Manufac
turers, in the August issue of The Kevicw f Reviews, where ho
surveys the national process of recovery from the recent busi
ness lump.
The upward turn toward recovery already has been reached,
Mr. Edncrton believes, and the
upon the readiness of pessimists to cease bemoaning their busi
ness losses and set themselves to regain lost ground.
"Such pessimism as exists is the result, I think, of taking the
abnormally prosperous years since the World War as the basis
for comparing the conditions of this year," he says. "There;
have been ninny of the first HO
in all respects more unhappy
live. While the pane of our economic progress has undoubtedly
slackened for a period, we arc without doubt still moving for
ward, even if it is at present by almost imperceptible degrees.'-
PICI!1LPS the brightest spot in the American economic out-
look at present is the fact that industry generally has had
the courage to maintain wages which will insure a continuance
of the high standard of living on which recent prosperity was
achieved, his Review of Reviews article points out.
"The greatest concern that manufacturers in general now
have is not over the prospect of no profits or small profits, hut
for the keeping of their people employed without the necessity
of reducing wages," says Mr. Kdgerton. "There lias been very
little evidence- of a disposition on the part of industrial em
ployers to recede, except under irresistible pressure, from tho
high wage standards which constitute a part of the basis of our
economic prosperity."
WAR BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY CAN COME AT
ANY MOMENT'
f7All between France and
' inenl, with little or no warning, as suddenly as the
onset of tliti world conflict l(i years ago," in the opinion "of
Frank J I. Simonds, widely known war correspondent and au
thority on international relations.
Mr. Himonds, the most widely quoted observer attending the
recent London Naval Conference, believes that the London meet
ing proved a Climactic point in the relations of Italy anil France
and revealed their differences to
Writ-ill,' in The Review of
predicts it war begun by Italian aggression against France,
which1 will involve most of thd nations of continental Europe,
unless ("ireat Britain acts to forestall such; a conflict.
ho single real guarantee
France, not perhaps today or
result of some incident which is
would seem to be a clear declaration of British policy," be de
clares. "Even Fascist Italy would hesitate to risk a war if it
were clear that Great Jii'ituiil would act against an aggressor."
TPITIS British labor, government, he points out, is committed
not to risk another position such as that, it took fit Locarno
when it; declared itself ready to act against any aggressor in
the Rhinelaiid,' But he predicts an early return of British Tories
to power, in which event "some clear and definite British policy
is not unlikely, for in the main British and French intercMs co
incide. France, like Britain, has no other desire than to main
things as they are; and' Britain, equally with France, desires
peace and cannot look -with equanimity upon a possible Italian
victory which Would insure Italian possession of Tunis and mas
tery of the passage between Sicily and Tunis which would per
mit Italy tirdoininate the main line of British imperial comnuiiii
cations.
There is little likelihood ot action by the League of Nations
to forestall Franco-Kalian eonl'lict, Mr. Siinonds believes, issues
are too vague to permit of judicial adjustment.
"The most disheartening aspect of the trouble is flic fact
that no important definite question divides Kome aml l'aris,"
says Ins Review ol Reviews article. If certain nerft'rvitl Ital
ians talk of recovering the lost provinces of SaVoV, Corsica anil
Nice, all Objective thinkers know that in none of these French
territories is there the slightest desire for li change. Even the
forcible naturalization of the children of Italian parents in
Tunis precisely the same thing that happens in the United
States is trivial. What is at otitis is something too vagiU- and
too indel'inih to admit of simple adjustment. Italy rising to
equality with Franco in population, and now under impulse of
a super-nationalist ie system anil a Napoleon-minded dictator,
st-s Franco tho barrier to n realization of her dreams, which
the Fascist i easily translate into rights. What (ieriuany thought
of Britain in 11)14, Italy now thinks of France."
Correct this sentence; "I just picked up iiiy"liat and Walked
out," saitl he, "and my wife didn't ask where I was going."

Answer If you will keep a
straight face, I' 119 say; I am a

involo?d. Or, better, ask alrpoet

massage of ankle and leg with
upward strokes with camphor
liniment (camphorated oil), or
other mild application such as
witch hazel or plairi soapy -water
or soapy water with a droti of
turpentine added, for 15 minutes
following- the hour of soaking in
water kept as hot as endurable.
Following that, dry heat in one
form or another. This is for
moderately severe sprains. In
milder sprain it is often better
to bandage, strap or lace fi shoe
.tightly on the injured ankle and
walk about An it at once. In
any case where much lameness
persists, diathermy Is a remark
ably helpful remedy, and often
does remove the lameness for
many hours or permanently. The
fact that in a large proportion of
cases of sprain there is compli
cating and often undetected frac
ture or splintering of bone, must
be kept in mind; when suclj an In
