Babson's BusinessAnd FinancialOutlook for 1949

Total Volume for ComingYear Will Be Less thanin 1948, He Predicts

By Roger Babson

General Business: Off 5%.National Income: Off 5%.Farm Income: Off 15%.Bituminous Coal: Off 5%.Anthracite: Off 10%.Crude Oil Production: Up

3%..Steel Output: Up 5%.Automobiles: Up 10%.Building and Construction:

Off 20%.Lumber: Off 5%.Foreign Trade: Up 5 %.Airline Passenger Miles: Up

10%.Military Activities, Including

Aircraft: Up 50%.Retail Trade: Off 5% to

10%.

1. Total volume of business for1949 will be less than that .of 1948.There surely will be many softspots.

General Business.2. Most industries will show

smaller net profits. This meansthat, in many cases dividends willbe less in 1949.

3. Military preparedness will bea new and powerful industry whichthis country never heretofore ex-perienced in peace times. It isdestined to bolster employment forsome years ahead, but not thestandard-of-living.

4. Inventories quoted both attheir dollar values and in volumewill increase during 1949. Bothraw material piles and manu-factured goods will be in greatersupply during 1949.

Commodity Prices.5. Some rationing or , priorities

may be attempted in 1949. Thepublic wiii make demands forprice controls in the case of cer-tain products. Beware of install-ment purchases in 1949.- 6. We expect the peak in whole-sale commodity prices has beenreached for this cycle. We, there-fore, advise going easy on inven-tories. 1949 is a time to get out ofdebt and stay out of debt.

7. The retail price of some goods,other than food products, may behigher during 1949, but we believethat the Cost-of-Living Index hasturned downward.

8. Retail price changes lag ^ afterwholesale price changes. This ex-plains why we expect many retailprices on good quality merchandiseto hold up for awhile after whole-sale prices decline.

Farm Outlook.9. The total farm income for

1949 should be less than that of1948, due to lower prices for wheat,corn, pork, poultry, eggs and cer-tain dairy products. Farmersshould diversify more in 1949, getout of debt, putting surplus moneyinto savings and prepare for realtrouble some day.

10. The supply of certain vege-tables and fruits should increaseduring 1949. The price of theseshould fall off, barring someweather, insect or blight catastro-phe.

11. Poultry and dairy productswill also increase in volume during

Local "grain elevators are co-operating to receive and assemblethe farm products donated. Pick-ups in townships will be made bytrucks. In others, it will be neces-sary for farmers to deliver thegoods to the elevators. Cash dona>tions are also to be left with thenearest grain elevator.

Mr. Eckfeld wishes to emphasizethat in case some townships do notorganize a farm-to-farm canvassthat those people living in suchtownships who wish to make dona-tions may do so by leaving them atthe nearest grain elevator.

Members of churches who wishmay designate the church organi-zation they wish to distribute thegoods upon arrival overseas. Thethree world church organizationsare jointly sponsoring C. R. O.

During the last 30 years thepopulation of this merry dweller ofthe open fields have shown a mark-ed decline. At one time their num-bers perhaps exceeded that of anyother species that lived outside thewoodlands. The meadowlark's nestis placed on the ground under atussock of grass. It is constructedof small stems and grasses. Usu-ally from four to seven white eggs,highly speckled with purple andbrown, are laid.

Damage from rust, rot and neglect during winteris often more costly than the wear and tear ofactual use. Here are some tips that cut down re-pair bills.

1. if possible, house idle machinery in o goodshed.

2. Clean out all dirt and trash.3. Tighten loose bolts, check for cracked or

broken parts.4. Apply rust preventive to unpointed surfaces.5. Remove belts and canvas — store in a dry

place away from rats, mice and birds.6. Order repair parts now and make repairs this

By JESSIE WESTA MY looked out at the bright day

£*• and was about to decide it wasthe loveliest New Year's Eve she'dseen -in years when she saw Clara-belle Carter crossing the street;and then she thought the day wasn'tlovely at all.

She could hear Clarabelle talkingto Mille as she had that day in thestore when she'd been standing be-hind shelves lined with groceriesdeliberately eavesdropping.

"I do declare, it does look likeAmy Wells could get someone,"Clarabelle had said. "I supposeshe'll die an old maid."

Clarabelle hadn't said anythingdegrading of course. But from thatmoment forward, Amy had won-dered if people generally didn't as-sume that old maids just couldn'tfind any takers.

She took her eyes from the win-dow and Clarabelle going down thestreet to look at her reflection inthe dresser mirror. At almost forty-five, she didn't think she was beingegotistical in appraising herself asactually looking thirty-five. She hadvery little gray in her dark hair,and the faint lines on her face wereunnoticeable against the startlingblue of her eyes and general pret-tiness of her features.

There'd been a time when shereigned as the most popular girlat Obane; she'd t>een pictured inthe college year-book as "the girlall men want but only one canhave."

Of course Clarabelle and thepopulace of Donovan, a little townof three thousand, didn't know thesethings.

Amy looked out the window again,and not seeing Clarabelle on thestreet now, the day resumed some

She was startled when someonestood at her shoulder suddenly.

of the brightness that Clarabelle'spresence had blighted, and she gotto ,thinking about a trip that 20years ago had been scheduled fortomorrow. Memory of the tryst hadcome to her with the approach ofanother New Year, but she had notplanned to enact a promise thatyears of separation had cast intoyouth's frivolous dreaming, disap-pointments and temperamentalpride. Yet, seeing Clarabelle andremembering what she'd said abouther somehow filled her with unex-pected sentiment.

She had nowhere to go on NewYear's day, and thought of the tripsuddenly became entrancing. Itwould be emotionally uplifting togo back to the old haunts, and noone would know of her foolish liv-ing just for a day among memoriesof a past that through her ownfoolhardy pride, had led her intoher present state of lonely maiden-hood.

"If anything ever separates us,"Lance had said that night long ago,"it'd be fun just to meet again, sortof a tryst affair, 20 years hence.Maybe in Park Rendezvous wherewe first met. . . ."

They'd talked like that often, thenlaughed—because they knew they'dnever separate. Someday they'dmarry.. But they didn't marry. Toosoon a trivial misunderstanding hadrisen between them, and she'd hadtoo much pride to admit that she'dbeen a little wrong, too.

It was almost noon when Amyreached the Park Rendezvous atObane on New Year's day. She'dhave lunch, she decided, then visitabout town. But already she wassensing regret for having made thetrip. You couldn't live in the pasteven for a day without returning tothe present with greater pain. Howwell she knew it now!

She was startled when someonestood at her shoulder suddenly.

"Hello," he said.Amy's heart fluttered in recog-

nizing his voice. Fue looked up."Why, Lance--' ' It was all she

could manage.He sat by her at the table and

covered her hand with his.'Looks like we both remem-

bered," he said, chuckling happily."But, you married, Lance, I

heard." She couldn't help sayingit.

"That was false news, dear," hesaid. "Do you think—but you sure-ly know now! I tried to find you,Amy, but I lost all trace of you."

Amy laughed and her cheeks col-ored. "I wouldn't have come to-day," she said wistfully, "but fora person named Clarabelle. . . . "

"Clarabelle?"Amy nodded. "It's a queer little

story, Lance," she said, and thenshe wondered with a little gloating,what Clarabelle, and all of Dono-van for that matter, would thin!-when they heard!

Methuselah*s LifeHad Longest Span

Methuselah, the Hebrew patriarchArho lived 969 years, has becomesynonymous with Father Time be-jause he lived longer than any other.nan in recorded history.

Notwithstanding Methuselah's di-rect descent from Seth—the' thirdson of Adam and Eve, born,afterCain had slain Abel—and the factthat he was the grandfather of Noah,it has been said longevity is Methu-selah's only claim to history's com-memoration; and even this claimseems to hang by a slender thread,considering that longevity was therule rattier than the exception amongthe patriarchs.

The fifth chapter of Genesis re-cords that Adam lived a total of 930years; Seth reached the age of 912,and Enos—the son of Seth—died at905. Cainen lived 910 years, Mahala-leel attained the age of 895, andJared—grandfather of Methuselah—lived 962 years, only seven yearsless than his grandson's record.Enoch, Methuselah's father, seemsto have been the exception to therule—since he died at the age of 365.

Mexicans BuryThe Old Clock

To observe the death of the oldyear, many Mexican families ob-serve the "old clock" on New Year'sEve by placing a black box sur-

| rounded by lighted candles on theJ living room table. A small clock is

placed on top of this casket. Theclock lays in state until midnight,then it is stopped, placed in thecasket and buried in the garden.

Plans for Farm WiringShould Envision Future

Plan for future as well as presentneeds when wiring a farm, ruralelectrification specialists advisefarm families. Wiring is a perma-nent improvement, so there shouldbe an adequate system in the homeas well as in other farm buildings.

All buildings should have a prop-er size load center or protective de-vice, enough sets of wires or cir--cuits and a sufficient number oioutlets. N

Brazil New Year's

New Year's Day (Dia de AnnoBom) is truly a Red Letter Day inBrazil: in keeping with the hos-pitality and gaiety universally asso-ciated with the observance of NewYears, it is the day par excellencefor parties, enthusiastic greeting,and general celebration.

Dia de Anno Bom is the 'middleday,' of the Brazilian holiday seasonwhich begins on Christmas Eve andclimaxes on Epiphany. Christmasitself does not stand out as a timeof merrymaking so definitely as itdoes among the Anglo-Saxons: thecolorful and impressive Christmasprocessions are part of the churchfestival; in the realm of gift-giving.Spiphany—symbolizing the giftswhich the Wise Men brought the In-fant Jesus—vies with and even holdsa slight edge over Christmas, espe-cially among the children.

Since it Is really June in Jan-uary south of the equator, the Christ-mas season falls in Midsummer in-stead of during the > winter, a factwhich has endowed the holidays withmany characteristics of Summer-time festivals. In many cities re-ligious and civic organizations spon-sor open air "festas." These affairsare attended by throngs of peoplerepresenting all classes of the popu-lation, gifts are distributed to under-privileged children, while music,flags, and flowers contribute to thegeneral gaiety and festivity.

In a land where all festivals areendowed with several sets of cus-toms—those assimulated throughforeign intercourse, etc., superim-posed upon the ancient traditionsbrought from Portugal—New Year'sDay is included in the list of Brazil'snational holidays and is appropri-ately designated as the day of uni-versal brotherhood.

A. D. Em StartedBy Charles III "

The notation A.D. (from the LatirAnno Domini—in the year of ourLord) was started by Charles IIIof Germany, who affixed it to theyears of his reign in 879.

The Christian era begins on Jan-uary 1st in the middle of the 4thyear of the 194th Olympiad, the 753dyear of the building of Rome, andin 4714 of the Julian period. Theera, and its system of dating theyears preceeding the birth of Christand dedicating the succeeding yearsto His greater Glory, was inventedabout 532 by a monk, Dionysius Ex-tingius—sometimes called Denys lePetit.

Introduced in Italy during thesixth century, the system was notextensively employed until its usewas prescribed for bishops by theCouncil of Chelsea (Middlesex, Eng-land) in 816 and made its debut inworld affairs under the sponsorshipof Charles III.

Precautions tor Using 2,4-DNearly all plants commonly

grown in vegetable and flower gar-dens are sensitive to 2,4-D, Even atrifling and invisible drift of sprayor dust across a propertv line canbe the cause of widespread killingof someone's favorite flowers, in-cluding expensive perennials whichare difficult to replace. Damagecan be done unintentionally with2,4-D by using the same .sprayerapparatus -for other "types of spray-ing. If it is at all possible, to avoiddamage, sprayers used for 2,4-Dshould never be used for sprayingany other material. If this is notpractical, special care should betaken to clean the sprayer thor-oughly of 2.4-D.

'Pin Money' BeganAs New Year Gift

'Pin money' is a New Year's ex-pression.

It all started back in the time ofthe royal Stuarts of England whengift-giving on New Year's day wasin fashion. Gloves were consideredappropriate gifts for most people.but if a gentleman had saved a little"extra," he gave the money to hiswife or sweetheart for pins whichwere very expensive at that time.

The popular 'pin money' phrasein our language has survived boththe expensive pin and the New Yeargift-giving custom.

f^NE of the best places to be on^—'New Year's Eve is right at home—provided you have a party. Suc-cessful parties depend upon a bit ofprior planning. You must have atheme for the party, and a programto keep your guests amused.

Here are a few good themes fora New Year's Eve party at home:"A Calendar Social," "New Year'sJamboree," "Father Time Party"and "Around the Clock." It will befun il you tell your guests the themeof your party when you invite themso that they will come in fitting cos-tumes. The best costume ought towin a prize.

There are many games you'll en-joy playing until midnight. At mid-night, of course, comes "Auld LangSyne," and the first snack of 1949.

Year Brings„ *o

Superstition and curiosity prompt-ed the Anglo-Saxons to climb upontheir roofs as the hour of midnightapproached on New Year's Eve—itwas believed that something mighthappen when the New Year burstin and everyone wanted to be in aposition to see for himself.

Perhaps more of this "something; might happen" superstition has sur-vived than is immediately apparent.Almost everyone dreads the thoughtof being alone on New Year's Eve:if possible, we gather our familiesand friends around us in our homes.In a more serious mood, an ever-increasing number of persons at-tend "Watch" services to greet the

j New Year in prayer and meditation;I and there is a universal resolve to[ "do better" next year. Gathering inI public places, in Times Square—orj its counterpart—we make as muchnoise as possible—presumably be-cause our primitive ancestors uti-lized noise as an expression of cele-bration, believing the din wouldkeep evil spirits and influences at adistance.

Joyous New Year Bells.The New Year bells have ceased

\o toll for the dying year and now| welcome the New Year with joyous! peals symbolic of the hope with| which mankind looks forward to a'brighter future and a better world,but the nostalgic strains of AuldLang Syne have become so in-trinsically a part of our New Year's

! Eve that even the very gayest gath-! erings would be incomplete with-itfui it.

Indeed, we stand before the New! Year with mingled sentiments, noti wholly unlike the child of Long-1 fellow's sonnet:

"Half willing, half reluctant tobe led,

And leave his broken playthings, on the floor,i Still gazing at them through the'< open door

Nor wholly reassured and com-1 forted

By promises of others in their: stead,. Which, though more splendid,

may not please him more."

Chinese Pay DebtsiOn New Year's Eve

An ancient Chinese tradition de-I mands that all bills be paid on New! Year's Eve: anyone who is a deht-i or on New Year's Day is consid-i ered, and considers himself, veryI much disgraced. Counting-houseshum with activity long after mid-night and tradespeople, shielding

i lighted candles, hurry through theI dark streets of residential districtsI stopping at this door and that doorto settle accounts with their cus-tomers.

Traditionally, creditors are enti-tled to their money only so long astheir candles remain lighted. Hu-man nature being what it is/ wecan imagine debtors and creditorshave thought of an ingenious wayof accidentally extinguishing thosecandles or keeping them from be-ing extinguished.

Jewish New YearIs Solemn Rite

Jewish people observe the NewYear at a different date and withmore religious solemnity than isassociated with the Christian NewYear.

Rosh Hashana, the name of Jew-ish New Year's day, may occur any-time between September 5 andOctober 5. It is one of the highestof Orthodox holy days and opensa period of penitence, prayer andcharity which lasts until Yom Kip-pur, ten days later. Yom Kippurmeans Day of Atonement.

Traditionally, Yom Kippur wasset apart as a day of atonement byMoses and elaborate ceremoniessolemnized its observance until theoffering of sacrifices was aban-doned after the destruction of theTemple in Jerusalem in 70 A. D.

In modern times, no other Jew-ish fast day or festival is as gen-erally and religiously observed.Services 'in the synagogues beginin the evening of the preceedingday and are continuous until sunseton the day itself. The souls of thedead are included in the commu-nity of those pardoned on the Dayof Atonement, and it is customaryfor children to have public mentionmade of their deceased parents andto make charitable gifts on behalfof their souls.

There is, reportedly, a Book ofLife wherein the name of every liv-ing creature is written. This Bookis sealed annually on Yom Kippur.This is the reason for the customaryJewish New Year greeting, "Mayyou be inscribed for a happy NewYear."

Forerunner of TractorFirst gasoline traction engine

built by the partnership of CharlesW. Hart and Charles H. Parr attheir gasoline engine manufactur-ing plant in Charles City, Iowa,was as much unlike the presentstreamlined tractor as are the Stan-ley steamer and a new model auto-mobile. It was powered by a two-cylinder air-cooled horizontal en-gine. The important fact was thatit worked and was a vast improve-ment over steam-powered "trac-tors."

LeonardOLIVER AND NEW IDEA FARM

MACHINERY

KEEPING accurate track of yearshas been one of human history's

toughest problems. Many a head-ache and much trouble have doggedthose who dared to tackle it.

Seven hundred years b e f o r eChrist, a smart Roman named

Pompilius stayedawake nights fig-uring out what hethought was a goodsystem. But, alas,he made severalmistakes. Withina few hundredyears the calendarw h i c h h e h a dworked so hardto produce becameinaccura te andpractically useless.

The man who inherited the re-sultant confusion of Pompilius'errors was a very busy person bythe name of Julius Ceasar. Ceasarcalled all the best minds of hisempire into conference and soon theworld was given another calendar.It wasn't much good, either. It onlylasted fifteen hundred years or so.

Then Pope Gregory XIII tried tostraighten out the mistakes inCeasar's calendar. The result wasthe Gregorian calendar which weuse today.

However, there's trouble ahead.Along about 2500 your many-timesg r e a t grandchil- :dren will celebratea New Year that'sbound to be trou-blesome That's theyear our calendarswill start gettingout of whack. Whenc a l e n d a rs gowrong, s e a s o n sstart arriving onthe w r o n g daysand in the wrongmonths. This hap-pened because calendars aren't prop-erly geared to the sun's movement.

For instance, when Ceasar gotstuck with Pompilius' system thecalendar and the solar equinoxeswere months apart.. Pope Gregorywent to work on Ceasar's calendarin 1582 when it was lagging tendays behind the sun.

To Pope Gregory we owe the leap-year. In presenting his calendarto the world, the Pope specified thatthe calendar play leap-frog. As a re-sult, the year 1582 holds all recordsfor losing birthdays. In order tomake up the ten days the calendarwas behind the sun, the days be-tween October 5 and October 15were simply skipped—lost forever.

During the evolution of our cal-endar some strange things havebeen tried. Once a year was onlyten months long, once March wasthe first month, again January wasthe first month, and once Februarywas the last.

Scholars still wrestle with theproblem of the years. Even todaythere's agitationfor calendar revi-sion. One solutionwould keep a 12-month year withprovision made forthe extra day leftover from the 52-week year in or-dinary years andthe two days inleap year.

The extra day ino r d i n a r y yearswould follow December 30 and beknown merely as Year day. Janu-ary 1 would then follow. In leapyears, Saturday, June 30, would befollowed the next day by anotherSaturday called Leap day, thenSunday, July 1.

However, it doesn't look as thoughthere'll be any revision during 1949.Most people will be too busy withtheir own problems this year toworry about 2500 when our calen-dars won't be much good.

Carp With ClassCanned flaked freshwater carp,

one of the most promising fisheryproducts evolved during the war,now is offered to the trade. Thecarp is netted in Minnesota lakes,brought to a canning companyalive, and processed. The fish islean-meated, firm-fleshed, and haslong been regarded as a delicacyin Europe because of its excellentflavor.

New InsecticideBHC, a new insecticide, has been

found useful in treating farmanimals for external parasites andis effective against such parsiticdiseases as hog mange and sheepscab. However, complete and re-liable data still is lacking as to thepoisonous properties of BHC, andcaution should be used IP applyingit on animals intended for humanconsumption, warns American Vet-erinary Medical association.

Farm people total one-fifth ofthe U. S. population but have athird of the nation's children.

Curricular AnglingAngling is now included as „ a

regular part of the curriculum insome of our leading colleges anduniversities. Angling has become abillion-dollar business in the Ignit-ed States with 40 cents out of everysports dollar being spent in thisagreeable pursuit. At the Univer-sity of Miami, coed anglers aregiven instruction in the fundamen-tals df angling and in all branchesof the sport. The course requireseight weeks to complete, and em-phasis is placed on practical value.The student not only learns aboutmethods of fishing, but now tackleis made, how fishing camps are op-erated, and how to become a suc-cessful fishing guide. It is the onlyclass in which it is not necessary toassign home work. The\studentsare simply told to go out and fish,and it is a command that is en-thusiastically received and carriedout.

People Leaving FarmsFarm population in the United

States has been declining graduallyfor the past 30 years. It may be aslow as 24 million by 1975, comparedwith 27% million now.

BABSON'S BUSINESSAND FINANCIALOUTLOOK FOR 1949

Concluded from page 1.prices averaging less than

1948 prices.12. Farmers . will continue to

work for extensions of subsidies.The above four Farm Forecastsassume normal weather. A droughtcould upset these.

Taxes.13. The Federal Budget will not

be decreased during 1949.14. Federal taxes will not be de-

creased during 1949, but there maybe some readjustments to encour-age venture capital and to ease thetax burden on wages.

15. We forecast that an attemptwill be made by some cities to putceilings upon real estate /taxes orenact local sales taxes.

16. The long-term capital gainstax of 25% will remain unchanged.

Retail Trade.17. Goods on counters will be of

better grade in 1949.18. There will be many "mark-

down sales" of inferior qualitygoods. Curbs on installment buyingwill continue.

19. The dollar value of all retailsales in 1949 should about equalthat of 1948, perhaps off 5%.

20. The unit volume of retailsales will be less in 1949 than in1948.

Foreign Trade.21. Our foreign trade will re-

main about the same. We shall con-tinue to help Europe; but it will beon a more efficient basis.

22. More foreign credits will begranted during 1949; but thesemostly will be direct to businessconcerns.

23. There will be greater compe-tition from other countries inlegitimate foreign trade where thecredit is good.

24. Throughout 1949 war talkwill continue; but no real WorldWar III will start in 1949. Warpreparations will continue.

Labor Outlook.25. Good business depends upon

two things: (1) reasonable wagesand (2) reasonable prices. Whenboth of these factors are in balancethere is good business; but whenthey get out of balance, look fortrouble. Low prices are of littlehelp when people have insufficientwages with which to buy; but it isalso true that good wages are oflittle use if prices are too highfor people to buy. The Taft-Hartley Law will be repealed oramended to encourage free speech,union protection and increasedproduction.

26. The income of wageworkersmust increase before an advance inprices. Contrariwise, too highprices always precede a decline inemployment and wages. Thisdownward cycle leading to unem-ployment may begin in 1949. Muchdepends upon crops and weather.

27. Labor leaders who get in-creased wage rates usually get re-lected, while those _ who do not

get wage increases are liable to bedefeated. Hence, labor leaders havenaturally kept urging higherwages, although they may feel intheir hearts that wages are highenough for the time being. Weforecast that 1949 will see somechange of attitude in this regardand that wise leaders will be moreinterested in preventing the "bust."

28. If wages are too high, organ-ized labor is the first to be laid offwhen business declines. Unorgan-ized workers have the steadiestjobs and will go through 1949without losing their positions.

29. Some labor leaders will, dur-ing 1949, work for pension systemsand sick benefits. This would be aonstructive program for em-

ployers who can afford to do it,sut many employers cannot afford

these benefits at this time.Both employers and wageworkerswill some day unite in urging aprogram which will give steadywork throughout the year. This isthe best hope for lower buildingcosts. Bricklayers, painters and:arpenters are criticized today for

doing such a small amount ofwork, but we must remember themany days when they are unable towork due to weather and otherconditions.

Inflation30. Inflation (high prices) comes

when consumption exceeds produc-tion. This means that inflation canbe checked only by increasingproduction or by reducing themoney supply. The job of gettingprices down today depends, there-fore, upon what management andabor produce per hour. We believe;hat wage increases during 1949will be accompanied by a corre-ponding increase in the per hour

production of the wageworker.31. Some object to the large

profits that their employers are•etting today compared with the

1930's. It, however, should be•emembered that during these

depression years most employerslad no profits whatsoever. We'orecast that profits will continue;o be regulated automatically by;he law of supply and demand,•ather than by the government.

32. At some time during 1949 weforecast that the point will be•eached where the nation's inflated

money supply will have becomefully employed. Hence, emphasismay shift from efforts to stop in-flation to efforts to halt deflation.

Stock Market.33. 1949 »iay not be a better

year stock market wise than 1948.Investors will especially get out ofstocks of companies which havemost of their assets in big,"vulnerable in case of war" cities,

reinvesting in companies whoseassets are well distributed andsafe from attack.

34. The Administration will notwant the Dow-Jones IndustrialAver-age to go too high on accountof the consequent effect uponlabor's demands. Commodity specu-lation will continue to be curbed.

35. The wisest will not try topick any special "winners" in 1949;but will diversify broadly. Thosewho have too many stocks willgradually build up good reserves,in cash or Governments, for the bigbreak which will come some day.Careful buyers of stocks will insiston making full payment and avoidborrowing during 1949.

36. Safe dividend paying stodkswill be in greatest demand,especially if double taxation ondividends should be eliminated.

Bonds.37. We are definitely bearish on

low-coupon-rate, long-term tax-able bonds as money rates willgradually increase.

38. If Congress should exemptdividends from double federaltaxation, 1949 will see a furtherfalling off in the prices of certaintax-exempt bonds.

39. We forecast no change in thenation's monetary policy relatingto credit control and interest ratesduring 1949.

40. Investors will give muchmore attention to diversification in1949 and will try to have theirbond maturities either fairly shortor staggered.

Real Estate41. City real estate will continue

to hold firm through 1949, due toless available rental space causedby pulling down structures to savetaxes, provide parking spaces, etc.There also is a disinclination tobuild new city property in view ofthe present high costs.

42. Suburban real estate willcontinue in fair demand during

1949 although there will be someshading of prices.

43. Big commercial farm acreagewill sell for less during 1949; butsubsistence farms, located close toestablished communities, will holdup in price.

44. General- building will de-crease during 1949 although thecost of building may decline alittle. The quality of workmanshipwill improve.

45. Both office and residentialrents will be higher in 1949. Onlyas property owners are grantedhigher rentals, will there beenough houses to rent.

46. Mortgage interest rates dur-ing 1949 will continue about thesame as in 1948. Any changes willbe toward increases.

Politics.47. The Administration will en-

courage legitimate new enter-prises and full employment, con-tinuing its loyalty to labor and thefarmers.

48. Vacancies in the various com-missions and government corpora-tions organized since 1932 andwhich have great powers will befilled by men acquainted withlegitimate business but friendly toMr. Truman.

49. Congress will take ourforeign policy out of the hands ofthe State Department and theBrass Hats.

50. The Administration will befair both to labor and managementor lose the Congressional electionsof 1950 by bringing on depression.

U. S. Wheat ExportsU. S. share of the world's wheat

market in the decade following 1929was an average of less than 50'million bushels of wheat a year,and that total was reached only byresort to government subsidies onwheat exported. U. S. wheat ex-ports went from an average of ̂ 7per cent of all export wheat i»world trade during 1934-38 to 50 percent of the total in 1946-47.

The additional money needed tobuild our park was borrowed fromcitizens of this community to whomthese certificates were given. Theyare backed by no real security ex-cept one's faith in this community.There has been, however, a moralobligation on the part of those whohave been using this borrowedmoney to see that the faith of thelenders was justified. Therefore,additional capital improvements tothe park will not be made until af-ter the certificates are retired.

By Gene AllemanLansing—The Alice in Wonder-

land aspect of our postwareconomic life is illustrated cur- irently in the demand of Michigan'syoungest and largest labor union,the United Automobile Workers,CIO, for a 1949 wage increase of"at least" 20 per cent.

That a union is seeking betterliving conditions for its members,via a larger pay check or lessworking hours, is not news.

That this union is asking the(same to "restore the livingstandards of four years ago" is

(not news "either. Collectivebargaining, like horse trading,.consists of asking for more thanyou hope to get.

However, it is important that theUAW believes American industry i

1 could afford to grant such adrastic wage boost (without neces-sity of increasing prices, of course)because of one fact: Profits arehigh.

j Nat Weinberg, UAW researchdirector, reasons it this way:"Corporations are now paying outwages and salaries at a rate of$87 billion a year. A 20 per cent in-crease would amount to $17.4billions. Since corporation profitsbefore taxes are running at a rateof $35 billions a year, a wage andsalary increase of this magnitude

, would leave $17.6 billions."Then after corporation taxes are

paid, the net profit left would be$10.8 billions. This amount wouldbe greater than the peak wartimeearnings of 1944. And $10.8 bil-lions, so Weinberg reasonslogically, should be plenty forstockholders.

Now all this makes good senseif you are willing to accept thesefigures as being the whole truth.However, they are not. Before youreach a final conclusion, pleaseconsider the following: Almosttwo-thirds of all corporation earn-ings (profits) today are beingplowed back to finance plants andequipment! In terms of dollars,more than $13 billions are beingspent to buy better tools, to makepossible better American products!

Why-? Because many persons arereluctant to invest in commonstocks and securities when federalpersonal income taxes may take upto 77% of profit dividends. Wefind ourselves again at the cross-roads. If industry cannot financeits own needs out of earnings, theinevitable alternative is for thegovernment to do it. Such is Eng~kgid's solution for economicgeeuffty under a labor government.

Moif.e state socialism is thechoice &f tfe§ UAW. We are well onthe road already. Nationalizationof industry is the new pot of goldat the end of the rainbow.
