Tha surg ing greenback boya In congress may be able to find a better cluo to the depression trail If they will look Into the capital finance flgurea. The beat estl- ' mate officially la that corporations did about 400.- k " tuf 1 00,000 new 4,v jf J financing In 1935. That la. they raised and f;pent that much new capital In their businesses. PALL MALLON The a t e r a ge similar expenditure for the years 1925. '26. '27 and '28 was 4.340,000. 000 This amount Is roughly the normal yearly outlay of new capital. Thus It appeara that the current capital market la about 10 per cent normal. The 90 per cent deficiency la about 4,000,000,000, which la Just sbout the amount of President Roosevelt's annual relief budget. II business would raise and spend that normal amount annually, there would be little need for money tin kering, new taxes, unemployment relief and, In fact, the whole depres sion altuatlon. All that the depression healers need to do Is to find a way to bring It about. j When you start chasing reasons for stagnation of the capital mar ket, you had better use a butterfly net. The reasons are elusive. The basic reason Is lack of confi dence, not old man confidence that the pollticiana used to talk about a few yeara ago. but the personal con fidence of business men In their ability to make pronie out, oi vestments. No board of directors 1 going to raise new money for capi tal expenditures, and no one la going to lend them any money for that purpose, unless both csn see a profit in It. Just now most of the corporate boards are sitting on their reserves, wisely reducing debts. Although soaking wet from the depression, they are still saving for a rainier day.
