II LOOKING F!>RWARD Nineteen-thirty-two may be a crucial year in the history of the United Sta.tes. For more than two years we have endured one of the most severe and prolonged general depressions of all time-in company with the other great nations of the world. There is no magic remedy for curing econontic ills-how soon our problems will be solved, largely, is up to us, as individuals, and as members of a complicated society. Nineteen-thirty-two is a "Presidential year." Ordinarily, such and election and the political question it raises, would loom large on the hotizon. But t~is is not an ordinary period, and local political issues-so far a.s they attach themselves to men and parties-have become. in the pubtrasted with economic and socia1 lie mind, a very small thing when conissues. People who are wondering bow to find jobs, are not interested in partisan platforms nor in political bickerings. The greatest danger of a depression is that we may lose our heads-that a sort of mob hyster;ia may take the place of reason. We may try to overcome economic law with panaceas. Already many such efforts are being proposed-the new Congress, before it has completed its session will be swamped with suggestions for relieving the unemployed with gigantic bond issues; for he1ping the farmer with governmental subsidies and attempts at price-fixation; for helping the small business at the expense of the large one; for helping the poor and those of moderate means by ovetN 10 • -Courtesy Ax-I-Dent-Af- EAST MIDVALE taxing the wealthy.

They realize the duty at the East Midvale ward Sunday eveWhile such proposals may be made in good faith, most of them are based on misconceptions. Prosperity will return as the result of stimulated employment, stimulated buying, stimulated trade, commerce and building. We cannot produce that is upon them to prevent so far as possible, the up-and-down swing of the business chart in the future-the booms that are folowed by drops, the inflation that precedes deflation. They are working to stablize employment, to find a means of assuring the good worker his livelihood at all times, to protect the future workers when they get beyond their point of usefulness. Business can do tbis better than government. What the dole has done to England, it would do to a greater degree to the United States for we spend money on a more lavish scale for all things. It could plunge us into debt to the point of bankruptcy and crowd business to the edge of ruin with taxes. The dole shatters self-respect-and, in Englan~ it bas apparently helped to aggravate unemployment by discouragaing industrial expansion. There are problems, of course, that no nation by itself can hope to solve, problems of international signifiance. These, too, the public must take an interest in, if we are to have officials capable of representing us in the work of world rehabilitation. Disarmament, the stabilization of silver, the encouragement of international trade, a sound tariff policy for all nationsthese may seem abstract things, but they have a direct and important effect on the prosperity of every country, every bupiness, every wageearner and investor. To repeat1 1932 will be an outstanding year in our history. It will be a year of great problems. All of our national character, aggressiveness and initiative will De needed to solve them. Courage and faith must displace gloom and fear if the mists of 1930 and 1931 are to rise in 1932, ning.
