Balance Sheet on Nations Business Status

Special to The Gazette Iowa City. Prof George R Davies of the University of Iowa business research bureau compiles a balance sheet on the nations business. He lists mounting national debt 20 billion in 1926 with a 50 percent increase ahead unemployment at 10 million rising labor costs 31 percent in eight years and uneven recovery abroad while favorable notes point to capital equipment financing and rising consumption.
