All depressions lire more or less psychological, and the pregr
ent depression is no exception. Conditions nrc not (food, hut
they nro rendered iniieh worse by the stnte of the 'public mind.
This is particularly true of the partisan press, which can't rosin
the opportunity of cmburrassin"; President Hoover'hy eXnKKe'p-
ntintr the seriousness of the situation, and trying to plnco all the'
blame upon his shoulders. ; ' "' '
';.! ill '
A S A result Jiiiiny Don)oerntie newspaper nre filliiiR thoir,edi
torial xjoluiiuis every day with calamity IiowIb, talks about
this depression being worse than any in the country's history,
nnflj some even iiiiiintaiiiiiii that if President Hoover" c'oilld 1e
iinpeiichcd business would begin 'to pick up immediately.
This unwarranted venting of partisan spite' is, 'wo believe;
the most serious single factor in the present business situation;
and if continued' will do more than Anything 'rise' to'delay the
return of normalcy, which all right-thinking people, regardless
of party affiliations, desire.
, . ,
ARE not advocating an strich policy, or, a j?ollyniina at
" tit title of cbildish optimism, not sustained by the fncts-
no progress can be made toward bettering conditions by closing
our eyes tp meet what tbose conditions are: ' '' '
' riut genuine irogrcss toward bettering conditions CAN be
mado by silencing the calamity howlers, by adopting the best
possible, attitude toward those conditions), rather tlilii) tho worst
possible attitude. i ,
For, to repeat, all depressions arc greatly influenced by the
attitude of the public mind toward them, n sane and courage
ous attitude moans the minimum harm; an hysterical, cowardly
attitude means panic and the maximum hnrm.' ' ' 1
TpiflS situation as wo sec it is. a serious, one, and af feets tills
pomiiiuiiity just as it does pvery uthor. If the partisun press
is to continue this perpetual squawking, about hoy frightful con
ditions arc, and how much worse they arc likely to become, what
should be more than a temporary setback, may become a perma
nent one maj', in faqt. result in a hinjop calamity. ' "
Tho future, in other words, depends not rtpon what economic
conditions actually are, but upon what attitude the American
people as a whole take toward them. ' '"'
The time has como for the pemoeratie press to think e little
less of what may put President Hoover in a' hole,' and little
more of what will pull the country out of it. In short, we need
real patriotism, a patriotism of peace; which is oftch'jftst its
much needed and an' obligation bs true loyalty, as a patriotism
of war. 1 ' , ; ' " ''. , -- '.-;-

fatal and that recovery is to be
expected next year. 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. Kan

They probably will, but don't

nre you wouldn't know what he
was talking about if you could un
derstand him. 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. We can't
stand too much nonchalance. Wo
suppose he figured it was just an
other relation he was acquiring
and consequently was unable to
work up a whole lot of Interest.

Jt may be, on the other hand,
that the professor-tlidn't know he

busy man, Or, assuming that he
did know he had a daughter, he
may not have been aware that she
was about to be married. A great
