...whole continued to decline. The New York Times business index registered its fifth consecutive weekly decline. While trade was going steadily downhill it gave no signs of such a collapse as Wall Street confidently predicted six weeks ago. But even the most sanguine businessmen saw little hope of an upturn until August at the earliest...
...there is going to be no middle ground; no return to normal and unsubsidized prosperity, by 1936. What success the administration has had so far in effecting an upturn in business has been quite independent of all the blood and sweat of the NRA and the codes; has, on the contrary, been only proportional to the amount of money practically created and spent by the government in wages or contracts leading to wages. Only the "artificial" remedies have had any real and lasting effect. And any attempt to substitute for them the bad economics and ballyhoo of the N.R.A...

They had been looking for months, might have looked for months more (for sunspot changes cannot be forecast like eclipses) had not Dr. Seth Barnes Nicholson of Mt. Wilson Observatory reported two heralds of the sunspot upturn, slyly adding that he saw a first and fainter one a month ago. Sunspots seem to be whirlwinds-the mouths of spiral disturbances arising from below the surface. Hot gases emerging from the vortex expand and cool, thus make the spot look comparatively dark. Though no explanation of the cause...
