'We mean the boom of fant'astlc economics with hysterical price convulsions and fraudulenst wage demands for work lazily, partly and shabbily per formed. The boom of grossly swollen inflation, with fabuolus interest rates for money of low pu r sing and producing,power after he borrower gets it, while a government bank pol icy -lends to anybody that can pay the rate, whatever his use or abuse of the funds, but withholds money from the producer that cannot pay the rate, however necessary his pro duction may be. The boom of abnor mal costs but outrageous, crim inal profiteeering. Yet because of the very nature of the boom which we have had and which is now going as all such booms go, it is not leaving, it need never leave in its wake the usual terror of collapsing bboms--panic. The dread ed panic whose cause is deep seated and whose effects are long enduring is due to an inordinate surpius of] commodities vhich cannot be liqui dated at cost prices, which,. crowding the shelves, counters and cellars of merchants, filling to bursting the, warehouses of wholesalers, and block ing the yards, floors and all the spare space of mills and factories, keep tied up all the bank loansin, around and behind the vast, unliquidated _ass. This sort of panic, we say, is well aigh unthinkable when there has been the country over an almost starvation inderproduction, when shop shelves are bare, warehouses are empty and industries are behind on their orders, short of materials and long of profits, lathered in and salted away. Unless some calamity entirely -- unforseeW mnd wholly improbable bursts upon LIS like a bolt from the blue one night say that the kind of panic which this . country and the whole world fears could not how be pos uible. The vanishment, on the other hand, > our false, violent, frenzied boom, far from being regrettable, is to be velcomed, for it promises that we ire coming back to solid earth, with iner and sounder 'methods and safer md surer results, where there may be i truer relation between - prices and' ialues, where labor will earn as well is receive, where capital will be sta Ale and productive rather than spec acular and greedy and where profit 3ering will be banished for the good mnd sufficient reason that you cannot lave pro.iteering when there ish mough production to go around umong all buyers and consumers. We are going t> see some' piling lown upon us the tidal wave of im >orts; .already they are pouring intot his country by millions of tons and illions of dollars more than they ever yillions of dollars more than they ever lid before the war. Yet they need noti -rip~ple our indlustries and dlestroy our >rosperity. They will be largely of aw materials and goodls only partly inished. This wvill be so for the rea on thnt the major part of the pro luctive world was more busy during he war destroying than creating, was ailing to keep up its productive ma ~hinery and wvas losing on the battle bied its v'ery flesh and blood pro :iucers. The world is not yet ready, the v'orld is not yet able, to overstock us with manufactured goodls upon wvhich lepensd our indlustrial workers. Until i'urop~e has regainedl its productive ca >acity and res'umed its manufacturing mece and until we ourselves have illed with overproduction and surplus the vast vacuum of our ownl prodluct ive dleficiency of the last several years we cani be safe from foreign trade submersion. We can andl should pros per more rationally, more genuinely and more generally than either the mass of our population or the nation as a whole has been able to prosper in all the high fever and wild de lirium of the wvar boomi In which there have been more rainbows than eo nonics, more spending thban earnig, more wasting than saving. 'This post-war' prosperty may go on at a steadier gait for two or three years; perhaps a shade less, perhaps something more. And all the while wd shall he creating, iot destroying, wr 'slth, putting fouindo f ions~ unde'r our inclustry and business, nmot capping themv with top-bheavy cuspolas---anmass i~ substance of v'alue, w1 't painting( dimsy, worthless trash up withi dii uinr~rks.
