FINANCIAL FUTURE OF UNITED
SHIES Hi BRIGHTER
By WILLIAM REDFIELD, Secretary of Commerce
LET the worst be said and admitted that can bo said respecting existing
business difficulties in America, our condition still remains not only
' relatively bright, but rapidly improving, and in many respects both
prosperous and promising.
The coming winter throws no such dark shadow before as was feared
a few weeks ago, and the statement is beginning to be heard here and
there THAT GOODS CANNOT BE DELIVERED AS PROMPTLY
AS TIIEY ARE WANTED BECAUSE THE FACTORIES ARE TOO
BUSY.
The world abroad, both that part of it which is in arms and that
which is at peace, is turning toward America for a large portion of its
supplies, and the phrase, "Buy it in America," has come to have a potency
that has hitherto been lacking.
The improvement in conditions, however, is not wholly due to the
war. Great and growing as our exports are, they form but a small por
tion of all of tli" total business that is going on and which is constantly
increasing. ,
A KNOWLEDGE THAT PRODUCTS CAN BE SOLD, THE CERTAINTY
THAT MONEY CAN EE HAD TO FINANCE BUSINESS AND ENTERPRISE;
THESE AND FACTS LIKE THESE HAVE BROUGHT FRESH CONFIDENCE
