Daily Interview
Every day a reporter will interview
a person, picked at random, on
what he regards as the most im-
portant action to bring back pros-
perity to the whole country.
"Lack of confidence has made poor
business," said Harry Shute, farmer
and dairyman of Wayne township,
Wednesday. "Sellers are holding on
as long as they can, instead of taking
their loss and getting back into busi-
ness again. Everybody is doubtful of
the future."
"This lack of confidence extends to
the farmers and other producers also.
Everyone has less confidence and
trust in his neighbors than a few
years ago, possibly as a result of the
war.
"Time is the only thing that can
cure this situation and restore confi-
dence, and I do not look for a full re-
turn of normal conditions before a
year and a half. When we do have
more trust in ourselves and each
other, we will not be afraid to do
business again."
