Business Shows Big Gain Over Level Os Year Ago Babson I* Very Optimistic Over Outlook for Fall Busi ness; Points Out, However, That Foreign Trade Is Es sential to Permanent Prosperity By ROGER W. BABSON (Copyright 1935, Publisher Finacial Bureau, Inc) Babson Park, Mass., Aug. 16—All business reports for early August show improvement over July and an encouraging gain over August of last year- Again let me say that I am very optimistic over the outlook for business this fall. For the past two years consumer industries have been the mainnstay of trade. Activity in the consumer group, however, is now being supported by revival in the heavy industries. This is the most important development since business started uphill in March, 1933. There is, however, still at least one fly in the oin ment, —namely, the EXMTK^ Must Cooperate With Uncle Sam’s Aid to Aged or Be Left Behind By CHARLES P.

MYEIMNF Progressives Fear Roosevelt Will Not Move Fast Enough To Suit By LESLIE EICHEL New York, Aug. 16 Significant statements.,, significant actions are overlooked in these times. The tur moil is too great. The statement, the other day, of Senator Gerald P. Nye that there would be a third party next year, and that he would suppor* President Roosevelt in 1936 if the president “re mained liberal” is significant. The senator from North Dakota is a Republican —a progressive, it is true, but enough of a Republican to be metioned for the Republican nomination for president by Re publicans opposed to the Old Guard. Senator Nye still is a young man, and may yet be president. But that is beside the point. The dominant fact is, that political and economic evolution continues its course, and that change will go on- If unresisted, it will be peaceful. If resisted, it will not be peaceful. The progressives, as Senator Nye unintentionally points out, even now are being forced into a corner. They have permitted change to outrun them.
