WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Tha surg

be able to find a better cluo to the
depression trail
If they will look
Into the capital

they raised and

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.
Veterans organisations are getting
considerable publicity denying that
they wtll seek pensions. Capable

strike a blow against the Nazi regime
to avenge sufferings he said were In
