NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Written for This Paper by
FRANK P. LITSCHERT
Now that the year 1931 is upon us
the people of the United States are
naturally wondering whether prosper
ity will return to us before the year
1932 rolls around. The predictions
at the beginning of this year are
much more cautious and tempered
than those which were made for us
by the experts, economic and other-
wise at tne Deginning ol the yeari. , , D, ., c. , .u

1930. Twelve months ago, although , . ,. .
.... j 11 , . .f lesson the suffering and discomfort
we had just passed through one of the ' . ... . . , . .
biggest stock market upheavals in
history, there was almost unbounded
optimism We were told that the
market crash was only a corrective
process, that business remained fun
damentally sound and that with the
coming of the violets we would be on
the high road of prosperity and prog
ress onf.fi more. The nredictions
tnj ollt to he nfirelv too onti-
;mistic There was indeed a tempor-
ary pickup of business in the spring
months. But it didn't last. Prices of
farm products and other raw mater
ials kept slumping'and by June it was
evident that depression was still with
us in an increasing degree of sever
ity. There followed the drouth, rev
olutions in Latin-America, political
upheavals in Europe, Russian dump
ing, and plenty of things calculated to
bring us to the brink of despair.
Now the year 1930 has been com
pleted and the time has arrived for
the customary prophecies. These are
much more cautious than a year ago.
There are still optimists who believe
that before the present year rolls a
round conditions will have gone far
toward the normal again. But the
pessimists are more numerous than
the optimists, and they are just as
sure now that 1931 will be a bad
year as they were certain twelve
months ago that 1930 would be a big
year. Having been mistaken then
perhaps they will be mistaken again
and 1931 will not be so bad as they
think. Certainly the gloom is thick
enough in most places to be cut with
a knite. rne more optimistic 01 tne
"experts tell us that this is always
the case at the end of a panic and is
an indication that we will soon be on
the upgrade again.
This is a consumation devoutly to
be wished, and is a reasonable expec
tation, too. For while the more con
servative guessers do not believe that
we will soon arrive at the dizzy
heights of 1928 and early 1929 a
gain, they feel that a change for the
better is coming before many months.
While they do not believe that bus
iness in the first half of 1931 will bej
so good as it was in the first half of
1930 with its premature recovery,
they are confident that the last half
of 1931 will be better than the last
half of 1930 of lamented memory
and that when we begin to compar
current business with the poor rec
ords made in that period we will see
that we have really turned the comer.
In the meantime it is some conso
lation to remember that we hare been

worse New Years, even though most
of us are entirely pessimistic just at
this time. The New York Wolrd on
the first day of the year editorially
called attention to the fact that fif
teen years ago, on New Years day
"millions of young men were crouch
ing in dirt and darkness, were freez
ing and dying on long battle lines"
and that nobody then could "3ee the
end of the interminable horror." Cer
tainly we have reason to be thankful
that that dark and gloomy New Year
period is behind us.
It is perhaps encouraging to know
that we have dispelled our illusions,
that we have again come to the reali
zation that the way to accumulate
wealth or a modest competence is
not by speculation without labor, but
by sober thought and honest hard
work. It is on the latter of these
foundations that real prospertiy is
built. For a time in 1928 and 1929
many of us thought that wealth was
to be acquired in some new way by
simply buying securities and waiting
for them to go higher. We have now

World well concludes, there is now
hope because "We begin to learn
that there is very much to learn. We
begin to tell ourselves that illusions
are not foresight, that ignorance is
not courage, that guessing is not
thought, and that as we go back to
work we shall get no further than
the knowledge of our realties extends.
There are no panaceas. There are
no phrases to save us. There are no
miracles. There is only the courage
to be intelligent and sober."
