'THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION
The business . depression, .which
th+oughful people expected would: fol-
low the ,was'is: upon us ;with a ven-
glance. • Maiufacturers in• :vertain
lines say that retailers and the gen-
eral public' appear. to have ...simply
made up their minds not to buy,' and
they see no course open but. to close
. dowa.° : • •
-
When they close down they add bo
the number who will' not buy dor the
,good reason that they. cannot. This
in , turn adds to the dulness. `of trade;
and causes otne"rs to' erose down:
•Whel'e it will end there is na• saying'
just as there,was,no guessing as to
where the advancing prices of the war'
period would end.. But just as the
rise in prices came to an end sb will
the fall -after it. has gone to un-
reasonable lengths.
The most absurd' feature of the
whole situation is• the effort on the
part of a. few labor' "unions to not
only • maintain.war-time rates ' of
wages but •to ndeavor to 'get in-
creases. Becaus of +this attiude many
men 'cave been idle throughout the
.summer, and have a good, chance of
being in a "bread line" as soon, as
cold weather sets in.,
But' the' industrial depression " is
mainly due to a lack ;of confidence in
the. future. , During the' boom time
one, might .plunge into 'almost any-
thing and `come out all ' right; now
one can, scarcely dabble• in anything
without =losing money, and few will
enter Upon •a big enterprise•for fear'
•'.that business will remain dull after
'.the: ;npney • is .tied, up; Without con-
fidence- there ,can •be no 'enterprise -
no :'snap' fn •business.

THE REPORT ON RADIALS
•
•
The `commission ..appointed . many
•
months" •ago to•: gather': information
and to advise the. Ontario Govern-
inent regarding the. Hydro Commis-
on's :policy'of promoting the'exten-
son ;of. eletricalx, ailways_ hasubmit-
ted. its report:,, •• .
'The report is•, against, the, policy
of the ..cenimiSsion-that • is, it gad
•'vises , the government not ` to guarn
antee the:. -bonds -of townships, which
would borr97.inoneyfor_ the bu,.
Tng of;,electrie:railways. The 'Driiry-
G.oveinment likely will be• guidedy
the advice . of the commission.
It- does. not .follow, however that..
"radials"; -as -the--country-,--electric-'
railways • are `called, . will `". not be
built; Municipalities •which care. to
do so may .ge ahead, .borrow -;money
• by thei ie; of bonds and -have rail-
ways built. But -the Pro' ii Iril
Government, if .'it'follows ..the, -advice
of the commission; will ;not: guaran-
tee
uaran-.
tee bonds `sold; for 'that' purpose.", The
effect .will. be. that municpalities -will
have to . pay :a .higher rate' of inter-
est::,on themoney borrowed; and the
-build-lir. a-. radial railways, will -'be
greatly discouraged The reasons --
given by the commission for thee ad
ice which it offers is that the coun-
try; the province and many monies
parities are already LOverburdened
by ,borrowing, that .' the ' proposed
railroads would be in competition
with flip overnmontawned_ttesrir,
raili�aadsr..aand..that. they,w-ould_.harce
to . meet the competition of `auto='
mobiles and motor trucks upon the.
highways. • The• ways, the' the'coni-
anissionsvpoints..:ant,.,are..abeing great-
ly':iinpraved: aiid with Their improve -
menu and the iner"eased' •use of autos
and trucks there - will be • much 'less
need of 'the radial railways than now
appears. It ,-goes farther ,'and sug-ti
gests that in the face +of this - corn-.
petition- the proposed -"radials; 'mrl,ht
become a serious ,burden • upon' the.
• municipalities and that :theprovince.
