Therefore, it means something when Mr. Green tells us that "gloomy as present conditions are, we find hope in the spirit with which the communities are rallying to meet the emergency of widespread need and the capacity of American citizens to cope with difficult problems." Mr.

Green also sees hope in reports which come from labor unions in twenty four industrial cities which show a decrease of unemployment in December and less than the regular seasonal increase for the period. He also finds a ray of optimism in the fact that deflation of prices had gone so far as to indicate that the bottom has been reached, and that there are evidences of returning confidence in the production policies of important producing companies; and the gen eral belief that Spring activity will turn the tide. There are many 'thousands in the United States who will gain new courage because of these optimistic remarks of a great leader of men.
