WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 18.—
The odds are favorable to 1924,”
v-ays a statement of Herbert Hoover,
secretary of commerce, in a review
of conditions during the past years
and a discussion of economic pros
pects for this year.
“Our country has exhibited extra
ordinary strength and progress,” his
statement says in conclusion. “The
* oasis of healthy activity lies in bal
anced budgets, stable currency, high
production, accompanied by propor
tionate consumption and savings with
an absence of speculative extravag
ance and inflation. These things we
nave in the United States ”
Not only is “the economic outlook
in our own country for this year
bright,” says Mr. Hoover, “but in gen
-ral the world situation is hopeful.”
“The German collapse has in less
degree affected every part of the
world. The decreased consuming po
wer of Germany and of the other
> r.tes most affected has contributed
to the low price levels of food prod
uction power of Germany and of the
other food exporting countries. The
decrease in her coal and steel produc
tion at first gave some stimulous to
<he production of other countries, but
this is now offset by decreased buy
ing power of the depressed area for
other commodities. One other effect
of importance has been the undoubt
ful substantial flight of capital from
many of the states in this area of de
pression to the United States, result
ing in further excessive accumulation
of gold here. The economic world
* has not yet felt the full impact of the
occupation of the Ruhr. Were it not
tor the hope inspired by the initia
tion of negotiations for settlement of
the German problem the situation
would be most unpromising for the
future.
