Nevertheless' the September gain
is cheering evidence of a tread in
the right direction and comes at a
time when American industries can
well ptofit by having enlarged sour
ces of demand for their products
Even when domestic demand is
normal or a little better than -nor.
mal, this country needs outside mar.
kets for many of its products. It ia
always well to bear in mind that ic
many ways we are more than self
contained. There is some question
as to just how much our industries
can produce in twelve months than
American people can consume in
that time. Yet there is no doubt
that the . extent of foreign pur.
chases from us can often mean the
difference between just ordinary
times and either dull or really pros
perous periods. A continuance of
the September trend may, therefore,
aid strongly in bringing genuine
prosperity to pass.
