They pointed to the banner crops and the enormous vol ume of money in the banks as fac tors making for revival of business, demand for labor and general pros perity. It is becoming increasingly evi dent that alii we have really lacked during the war year in Europe to prosper exceedingly is confidence in ourselves. The calamity was so enormious and the shock so sudden ard so heavy that we permitted our selves to be absorbed in the terrcr and the pity of it, forgetting our own fortunate situation outside the conflict and that there was no rea son for our becoming involved in it if we simply insisted on our own rights and refused to permit them to be confused with the mutual wrongs of the combatants. A striking illustration of this truth is given by the discussion that has arisen over the international ex change and American security situa tion.
