should tend to stabilize business
prices and wages. Instead of looking;
for bigger business, more wages and
higher prices, this new policy should
tend to flatten out the curves. Any
recession should be gradual. The
old Area Theory which 1 havejl
preached for 30 years,, which was'
temporarily suspended by President |
Roosevelt, should again come into
force.
This doesn't mean that tne present;
good times will continue indefinitely, j
There are many other “streets” in
this country which need more relig
ion besides Wall Street. Stockhold- 1
ers, manufacturers, and shopkeepers!
must be content with smaller prof-
jits. Wageworkers most do more
j work for their present wages. (This
^specially applies to the bricklayeis
j who are a disgrace to the entire la
bor movement.) Politicians must use
j the same care about spending the !
taxpayers’ money as they do about!
spending their own. We all need
j to observe the Golden Rule.
Usually when I come home from
New York City, I am rather blue
, and pessimistic. The selfish, waste
ful and unpatriotic atmosphere) 1
found there, not only on Wall Street I
j but along the entire length of Broad- |
way, has made me sad. For the first
time in some years I have come back
truly optimistic. Why? Because!
there are real signs of Wall Street |
getting religion. All we need now is
to have this new r spirit spread!
throughout the country to every city, |
town or farm.
