The necessary preparations for the shrinkage of values, which really means an increase in the value of the dollar, were not long ago made by the banks.

I do anticipate that we shall have any trouble as a result of it, although certain lints industry may be more or less disturbed. "This readjustment has been tarded by the interruption of re- the transportation lines, especially in city. The tendency of this interwith the free movement of ference merchandise has been to keep prices at high levels and even to increase them by cutting off supplies. The fact that believe food prices have not declined to be attributable mainly. If not entirely, to this cause.

Our progress toward normal conditions will be accelerated, and the danger of disaster will be lessened by putting a stop which to constitute transportation hold-ups a menace to the entire community."
