severe in the opinion of frederick creedy re search assistant professor of elec trical engineering professor creedy discussed hu man nature in economic crises friday evening before members of the robert w blake philosophical society at the home of dr h p thomas in his talk he advocated the establishing of government sta tistical bureaus in the more impor tant cities economic crises which occur at appropriate ten year intervals are made worse than they need be by variations in the currency volume compelling reduction of profits and wages professor creedy believes pessimism induced by rapid oscil lations of business activity and eco nomic crises reduces the currency volume by reducing the volume of bank loans one breath of pessi mism may be enough to destroy profits professor creedy stated explaining his belief that currency volume and not management reg ulates industrial activity confidence is necessary to re store the volume of currency pro fits and good business professor creedy said he attributed the foundation of confidence to a high group morale which he said is found in individual firms but not in industry as a whole contributing factors to a high group morale were listed as a common purpose confi dence in the integrity and ability of leaders acting for the common good confidence of the right acting individual in popular support pro fessor creedy expressed the
