GOOD SENSE OF PEOPLE

BY GEOFFREY CROWTHER THE Prime Minister, in his

New Year broadcast predicted "a year of Improving trado, wages tending upwards, and increasing employment.” In a Tow weeks' time the bank chairmen will bo making simliar prophecies. But Prime Ministers and bank chair- men are prozessional optimists. What are the real prospects of continued recovery?

The recovery which we have had in the last 30 months has been almost entirely a domestic affair. There have been many reasons for it. The departure from the gold standard freed us from the deflationary, spiral in which the countries of the gold bloc are stil caught and opened the way for the policy of cheap money.

Almost alone among the Great Powers we have had no run on the banks. The maintenance of wage rates and cheap food have kept up the purchasing power of the working cinse. For these factors, some credit is due to the Government. But much more is

But the interesting point at the beginning of a New Year is not to distribute praise or blame for the past but to inquire into the future. Are all these causes of recovery atili operating?

These micro-organisma Include some fungi spores which ara bolleved to cause such plant discases as the various rusts which annually cost farmors thousands of dollars and some pollens which causo hay fever and other related human diseases,

Before the Lindbergh pläne flow away from Flushing Bay on July 9, 1938, the flier became interested through Melor in conducting tests for specimens in the Aretic regions. This was to be a check

of provious deductions that these

spores were carried thousands of miles in the upper atmosphere. That was the point Lindbergh's experimenta confirmed.

Lindbergh devised spore trap which he called a "sky hook," a contrivance which exposed sterile petroleum jelly-covered slides for n brief time during the plane's flight and then prevented contamination! before the slides could be sealed again.

The answer is that they are. Money is still cheap, the banks are still sound, wages are still high and food, defying Mr. Elliot, is still cheap. But on the other hand the scope for their operation is naturally more limited than it was. Most of the domestle trades are already doing fairly well, and we are getting nearer and nearer a medicine bottle is not encourag- over the Arctic, to the point when further recoverying.
