THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Industrial leaders who are predicting prosperous
business conditions throughout the country during the re
maining half of the year certainly appear to be warranted]
in their phophecies. Reports from the great industrial
centers confirm their conclusions. Carloadings for the
week ended July 16; were nearly 60,000 greater than the
corresponding week of last year, and more than 140,000
over the same period in 1924. Merchandise, coal, grain
and ore loadings all showed satisfactory increases. A
new record in steel production was made in the first six
months of this year, the production exceeding by nearly
1,000,000 tons the best previous mark. United States
Steel common reached a new high on the stock market.,
A greater volume of building operations is reported from:
nearly every large city7, indicating that labor in the build
ing trades is fully employed. There is no evidence of de
pression in business anywhere. The only weak spot of
importance is the agricultural situation, and this depres
sion is by no means widespread. Crop prospects are good
and prices are high.
Several captains of industry have proclaimed un
bounded confidence in the outlook for the last half of this
year. They assert that fundamental conditions in all de
partments 'of industry are sound and prosperous. Busi
ness is of such a character, they hold, that there is every
reason to look for a constructive expansion of activity
throughout the nation. Matthew C. Brush, president of
the American International corporation, and a director in
more than 50 companies, holds the general business situa
tion is very encouraging.
“With' the enormous wealth of the country, the tre
mendous sums available for investment, with the tenden
cy of governmental supervisory" bodies to permit business
to be profitably and successfully conducted, with the pros
pect of satisfactory production from the soil, with practi
cally the entire country- employed and at work, with an
administration unquestionably courageous, sound, con
structive and fair to honorably conducted business, I can
see nothing but genuine and great prosperity- for the
United States and its citizens/’ says Mr. Brush.
When men of experience and foresight skilled in
business and in close touch with every- industrial move
ment express such confidence as is voiced by Mr. Brush,
there is every reason for others to have faith in the fu
ture.
SAFER AIRPLANES
Safer airplanes is the objective of a fund established
by Daniel Guggenheim. It means to encourage manufac
turing everywhere to make aircraft that shall be so se
cure that the most timorous mortals need have no fear to
fly. That is an ideal that will take a lot of technical ex
periment; but already designers are aware of the desid
eratum, and are doing their best to minimize the risk in
volved in the use of ^ings. Those who have flown do not
need to be told what a delightful mode of rapid transit it
is nor to be reminded that under usual circumstances it
seems altogether safe. There need be no fear of vertigo,
since there is no yardstick to the ground and there is
equal freedom of space on every hand. Undoubtedly the
aircraft of the future will make our present pioneer de
vices seem crude, in their arrangement of safety devices,
which the new fund supplies an additional incentive to
develop.
SEEING THE PARTHENONE
Athens, making $5-per-tourist fees for seeing the Par
thenon, pays all the expenses of the Greek national mu
seum of antiquities, recalls in a paper money era the gold
en age of Pericles. Hellenic enterprise was never at so
high a mark in history.
