GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, l'J21 Steady Progress In Europe Is Seen By Herbert Hoover 'Economic Recovery Is Necessarily Slow and Contains Great Dan gers, But Situation Is Not At All As Gloomy As Some Statements Make It Appear. Dill; Wen Byres is Tlrtph Wftrs, 623 AIM Buildiac (Bl Leu Kin) Br HE11HERT HOOVER. rrriilt. to MdUdelnbU PnUte Ladtu.) Washington, Deo. 12. -The economic recovery of Europe I necessarily slow nd difficult. It contain! great dan gers, but It la not at all aa gloomy aa torn statements would make It ap pear.' Tear by year atnee the armistice, the combatant states- (except Russia) show teady gains In aoclal and political stability; they show groat progress In recovery, of agriculture. Industry, foreign trade and communications. The one field of continuous degeneration Is that of governmental finance that Is, the unbalanced budgets, the conse quent currency Inflation, etc., of cer tain countries with Its train of cred it destruction. The commerce of the world obviously suffers grievously from this failure In fiscal finance and apprehension that flows from it, and until remedies are found the great recuperation In the five great fields of social, political, Industrial, uerl cultural . and' commercial life of the past years are endangered. Its ef fects spread constantly outsldo the borders of those states predominant ly ooncerned and substantially chuck our recovery also. The most eminent and dangerous of the unbalanced Inflation eltua'iono Is gGermany. Her case dependa upon the method and volume of reparation pay ments. Aa the United States does not (participate either In Its control or Its 'recepits we have no voice or right to interfere. In any event this Is pe- I'culiarly an European matter and must he adjusted by the parties at Inter est. It Is earnestly hoped the present uenuiiitiiuitB upon ivpaiKUUII muy uuu- xeed In finding a sound boat to ee icure permanent economic and politi cal stability to Germany and certainty of regular payment to the allies With this effected the way Is open for con structive consideration of the situa tion In other states. The American people never have been and will not be remlsa In participation In these fur ther measures, but our people can not successfully enter until those who Icontrol reparations have settled thin major. issue upon so' sound 'n er.o tnomlo basis that we can look upon 'the future of Europe with confidence. I Outside of the government finance of limited number of states, the outlook Is very encouraging. Any general survey of the social situation In Europe will, show that the danger of "bolsheviBm" la passed, partly through the salutary lesson of Russia. Democratlo Institutions are gaining strength among the 150,000,000 form erly supporting autocracies. In Rus sia itself extreme communism Is slow ly boiling to death In a caldron of starvation and its leaders freely acknowledge Its failure. In the field of international political relations, aside from conflict in Tur key, war has ceased and treaties of peace are effective throughout the world. Russia no longer threatens any serious military offense. The warring states have settled for a time their major territorial issues and while there are remote forces of instability such as Irredentism, yet the new boundary alignment Is securing ac ceptance and the agencies for allaying International 'frlotlon are proving themselves steadily more effective. There are bright prospects of limita tion In naval armament. Agreed limi tations In land armament are not very hopeful but the eoonomto pressure of taxes and unbalanced budgets is slow- fly disarming Europe and It will disarm more of them yet The number of men under arms haa decreased by fully a million In the past twelve months. In the field of economlo life, the progress of agricultural and Industrial production year by year since the war Is very marked. Famine has disappear ed from Europe except in Russia. Ex cept in countries where credit ma chinery Is checked by dangers of fiscal bankruptcy each as Austria, their food, fuel and clothing supplies are sufficient albeit a' low standard of living In some places, but even In these countries - the standards are much higher than the low point after the armistice and are thus not such a factor of dlscontont. Populations have fairly settled to work and Industrial efficiency- and productivity are being steadily restored. The private credit Institutions of the world are demon strating their ability to handle the International trade and credits ex cept for those regions excessively disabled by the currency demoraliza tion. Transportation and communlca tions have been reconstructed. There are some useless hindrances to free dom of healing processes of commerce through artificial barriers between the new nations but the processes of heal Ing are going on. Generally there is progress and the problems yet to be solved are being steadily narrowed and their solutions better understood. 'J. C.

They should always buy balanced gasoline that is dependably uni form, that insures quick starting in all weathers, that gives plenty of power for climbing hills, that burns up completely and keeps the motor clean, that carries you a few miles further on each tank ful than a less perfectly condi tioned motor fuel. .There is such a gasoline, and you can buy it everywhere you go in this state. It is our improved, balanced "Standard" Motor Gas oline. On every test "Standard" Motor Gasoline leads the field. A car that has stood all night in a cold garage will soon develop an exhausted battery if fed with inferior gasoline. When you have only seven minutes to make your train you want to be assured of a quick start. No other fuel is so dependable as i this improved "Standard" Motor Gasoline. . Get the good habit of buying bal anced "Standard" Motor Gaso line and your motor will get the equally good habits of starting promptly and of taking you up the hills and loafing along in traf fic without much gear shifting. Don't neglect the lubrication of your car. It is the principal fao i tor in keeping depreciation at a minimum. Correct lubrication is beet accomplished by the use of , the grade of Polarine estab lished for your motor. STANDARD OIL COMPANY , - -. ' , . - . ,' ' .
