J rafi JV I Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS "UHAT wl" haPPen" thought W Jul cltlsen said to thla writer J yesterdsy, "when people who have " been without work and therefore without money begin to earn money again?" "Will they SPEND their money, thui putting It back Into the chan nel, of trade and ao making busi ness better, or will they be Inclined to spend as little as possible and SAVE A8 MUCH aa possible, ao aa to be Teady for another rainy day if It should come? THE only truthful answer to that question la this: "Nobody knows." But If the past is any Indication of the future, people will begin to spend again when they begin to earn again. WERE you ever badly frightened? If you ever were, you know that the shock was pretty severe at the time.' But you know also that It wore off pretty quickly. And aa soon aa the shock of fright wore off you went back to your old way of doing. People's natural way of doing la to spend what they . earn for what they want. It la a safe assumption that that Is what they will do again. IT Is spending that creates busi ness. We all know thstr In a community of misers, business would be persistently bad. ' But It la saving that creates credit, and without credit business can't go forward. Credit involves lending, and unless people save up money there will b no money to lend. The thing that will make busi ness good la the right combination of wise spending and wise saving. So, when you begin to earn again, the thing to do is to save as well as spend. EVERY severe depression haa been followed by a wave of prosperity greater than any ever known before. That will be true In this case, as It haa been true In the past. Most of us believe that the upswing that will carry us into thla new wave of prosperity has started already. But, whether it haa started already er not, It WILL atart. And when this new era of prosperity arrives, we shall find that It la greater than any ever known before. FOLLOWING the depression of the 70s. the nation entered upon a period of vast railroad building that made possible the settlement of the West. Out of this tremendous develop ment arose the prosperity that fol lowed the depression of the 70'a. , AFTER the hard times of the 90s came the Invention and perfec tion of the automobile, the moving picture, etc. The rise of these new Industries, along with others, brought on another wave of prosperity greater than anything ever known before. The prosperity thst followed the setback of 1921 was based largely on getting the things we had been wanting during the war, but had had y to do without. SO much for the past. Now what of the future? It Is the future we are Interested In. What is the foundation upon which the next period of prosperity, the period that is COMINO, will be built? HERE la an answer to that ques tion, which is offered merely as thla writer's own personal opin ion, without any weight of author jpl'y: The next period of prosperity, the period upon which we are entering, will be "-d upon putting a smaller hare of the profits of Industry and business Into a few BIO pockets and a larger share into MA NT LITTLE POCKETS, so thst common, ordinary people, who make up the vast bulk of our population, will haT the money to buy a fair share of the things they want. If common, ordinary people, who make up the vast bulk of our pop ulation, have the money with whtcn to buy a fair share of the things they want, there will be such a de mand for the products of Industry t and agriculture that we can't help having prosperity.

There are a lot more budding Gandhis In the ranks of American business than you might suspect. A couple of months ago they thought industrial control was great stuff. They were running around waving distress signals and yelling for help. Now that help la at hand they don't like its looks So they are going to try passive resistance. That means high-sounding codes with plenty of loopholes. There are two inside reasons for this change of heart. One Is the rapid pickup In business since April. The scent of fat profits Is hot again In starved nostrils. Many business men no longer feel the need to be rescued and they don't want the government to horn in on the hunt. The other reason la the govern ment's Insistence that wages and re employment rank ahead of earnings. New York old-timers were shocked at General Johnson's candor on the subject It sounds like- red heresy to them and more than a few. will fight It privately to the limit.
