Of course, it Is easy to make hopeful predic tions'. .."But .iff this case there' are certain fundamental aspects of the situation that seem to Justify Dr. -Ayres' cheerfulness. ,. ' A little niore than a year ago when the boom was at its height, people had bought literally billions of dollars' worth of stocks at ; prices that were fas from justified .by earnings, As soon as the fev erish speculation ceased there were bound to be heavy losses. Those losses have been taken and are In the past, not the future. Through this heavy liquidation brokers' loans on stocks have been reduced from S billion dollars to t bil lion. ' An . enormous amount of credit that was tied up In unpro ductive speculation is now avail able for legitimate business. Commodity prices have tumbled to bedrock. Business is now re building on a substantial , basis, without the fear that the bottom may drop out of prices at any time. Further, as Alfred P. Sloan president of General Motors, point ed out in a. recent interview In the Saturday Evening Post, under the stress of making both ends meet, Industries have got on a new basis of efficiency. Christmas shoppers already are benefiting from reduced prices. . . Finally, there Is tho often re pented fact that the two pairs of pants which the average man had at the stact of the depression are wearing out and have been patch ed about aB much as they will stand. Buying of tho necessaries of life Is bound to increase in vol ume as each month passes. So pro duction will gradually grow In re sponse to tha demand. Stress has been laid oh the de pression abroad as hindering re covery at home. Undoubtedly this Is true. But Europe still was flat on Its book- in 1928 when recov ery from the crnsh of 1621 was in full swing in the United States. Amerfonri recovery; with Its ab sorption of European goods and the credits this country was able to grant, helped pull Europe out. America stilt may be expected to put on a party . of its own, and contribute to better times over seas. Dr. Ayrea has evidently sub stantial reasons for his prediction of the patient's recovery.

Bear always in mind that there are only about 18 of us in the world who understand about Einstein and natural gas. But don't let this diftcourago you. It is easily possible to admire Prof. Einstein without speaking his language. Of course there will be thous ands of Americans who will learn the German language within the next few days in order to ba able to consult with the professor when he nrrlves, but this, It seems to us. Is need lens labor. The best way to get the lowdown on Einstein Is to nit back and wait for us to tell you. We have nil the dope and will let you have it In these oolumns as soon as we have the professor's final okay, ' We don't mind confessing that we are at odds with Kinstein on one or two 'points. These will have to be Ironed out before there Is an ultimate understanding. For in stance, we don't nt all like his hav ing spent but a half hour at his duughter's wedding.
