She calls it, A plan to produce for use, and to.produce a surplus for exchange, producing what you can best produce to exchange for what you have not. It was all thai and more.Mr. Stringham was not one of the d managers we mentioned recently. We had reference to some incompetent underlings. In the face of conditions this plan should be put in shape for revival It has saving power. What an Present Conditions? Some business is good but- Prophets should be giving warnings to the world in regard to the awful consequences that will follow present conditions. The economic jam is more frightening than ever, says an exchange. We are milling around like cattle to our own destru-tioyelling 'Buy more, produce less. Decay is eating into our towns $nd cities.

Billions of dollars of capital values, the life sayings of millions, have simply evaporated. The immense majority of business enterprises are in the red.
