BABSON PARK Mass Nov 27-Business news seldom crashes the front pages for weeks at a time The post-election boom however is so spectacular that it is making headlines daily The nation is ago amazed by a tidal wave of dividend increases wage boosts and year-end bonuses Business has moved ahead to a new recovery peak The sharp swing upward is bringing in a flood of questions about the outlook for business stocks unemployment and wages Those people who are accustomed to good things coming the hard way are wondering if this- sudden burst of optimism is sound and basic BASIC TREND SOUND 1 Fundamentally this post-election is justified from a long-pull standpoint Business hit its low ealy in 1933 and for nearly four years we have been struggling upward the interim business has been sub-normal but our population has been growing People have had to I be fed clothed and transported) During that dreary period we neither produced nor bought enough goods to meet our needs For a long time consumption ran ahead of production Demand in the meanwhile has been slowly improving Gradually people have come 1 to the nation is on the upgrade During the 'past three months there has been a great improvement in public sentiment The av erage American toctay is convinced that we are swinging into a real boom Statistics appear to back up this opinion Business has reached the X-Y Normal Line on my Bab-sonchart on the way into a prosperity period for the first time in fourteen years The tide is with usj Not only are we being aided by the normal growth of American business (which averages nearly two per cent Per year) but we also have the added impetus of a big potential demand built up by five years of sub-normal satisfaction The coming era of good times may even-at some time though temporarily exceed the 1929 peak STOCKS NOT SHORT SALE This post-election boom also has Investors worried The current fever of optimism of course has ignited Wall street Stocks are today 30 per cent higher than last year Prices have had a sharp spurt the election People who bought months ago are wondering if they should now take profits others who have been timidly holding their cash liquid are wondering if they have missed the boat These investors who are In ddubt about the: long swing have lost) their perspective I can not recall any recovery period when the market reached its peak with business only at the Normal Line We are not yet1 in an era of business overexpansion and the trend is still basically favorable Furthermore those who do want to accept their profits hesitate to do so because of the reinvestment problem Money rates are still ridiculously lov Bonds yielding 3 to 3 1-4 per cent interest may turn out to be just as dangerous as may stocks selling at a highprice-earn-ings ratio Good mortgage loans are hard to get Bank deposits return little or no yield Meanwhile the cost of living is steadily rising Hence I see no reason why investors would now fcnt to unload their stocks of companies whose earnings are progressing satisfactorily Easy money rates are a strpng market factor so long as they prevail I am not worried about stocks being so high as to offer a good short sale yet DO NOT BE FOOLED Another question which is bothering more and more people in view of sharply improving business Is the unemployment and relief problem The administration is -planning to take a complete and accurate census of the All through the depression business observers have been troubled by the Iafck of reliable jobless figures Various estimates are made from time to time but these are simply guesses Currently they range around eight million Even though the forthcoming census may support this estimate I will not be satisfied In taking this census I feel that labor experts are overlooking a very fundamental point While a census should be made it should be of the employed as well as ithe unemployed The department of labor has fairly accurate figures on the num-ber of employed at various periods in the past If we compare these totals with our population figures we will get a fair per-capita-em-ployment average If we take an unemployment census however there will be no past figures for comparative purposes The fact that eight million are jobless today does not necessarily mean that our percentage of unemployed is greater than it was twenty years ago -Hence while It is important that we i should -take a periodic census of (he unemployed a3 well as of the employed nevertheless the administration should not base its relief and other policies entirely on the jobless figures WAGE ISSUE UP AGAIN Furthermore the answer as to who constitutes a has changed in recent -years Today millions of young people and old folks would want to be tallied as unemployed by the census taker Twenty years ago these people would have been considered simply as If for no other reason than this I believe that the coming unemployment census will be of little benefit except to political sharpsters What the public authorities really need tp know is the total number of peo--ple who would in good times be employed but who now have no Jobs Frankly if we could get reliable totals on such genuine unemployed I would not be surprised to find them running closer to four -million than to eight million Still another question which the current boom has pulled into the limelight is the wage issue I am in full agreement with the aim to emphasize the to- AS fU unts AS 50cAWEEK WILL DO IMMEDIATE DELIVERY 5f a a PA UK- Ml fo 4A S' Man's Wrist Curye Model The
