We are all demanding revviutionary

But the New Deal, W7th strong

down the dry rewetance in steamroiler
fashion,
TV*s depression has been given
a ledge-hammer wallop#, mighty, staggeririg

knows??the final knockout may be,
clove at hand. Anyway,, we are all j
hoping and helping the new "Wash-,

waging. We are with him* all of u#^,
?a few straggling bedraggled dry*

The dictatorial power# placed in j
his hand* have been used forcefully j
arid intelligently. And with this
mighty weapon to destroy the un- ;

It was widely ?aid durinjp recent j
weeks that the best sign of the hour
was upping public confidence. Now
we find evidences of recovery begin-(

The index of wholesale prices,;
which ha- been dec-lining steadily for
months, recently made its first ?us-y
Lained rise. Farm products have
shown an improved trend. An upturn
in car loadings has appeared.
There is a substantial increased demand
for such household applances
as washng machines, of which sales
in February were the best in five
months.
Indications toward the end o ;
March were that commercial failures!
would be the lowest for that month j
since or li#26. j
Everyone is agreed that recovery
will be gradual?most are likewise)
agreed that it will be steady as well i
and that there need be no fear o ;
important recessions. New money is (
appearing, due largely to the war on.
hoarding, and it is providing jobs
and stimulating production.
