Population trend is away from
the big cities. Fear of possible
bombing and automobile over

on city realty values. Continued
migration from the urban cent
ers will help subeqban properties.
For those who plan buying new
hemes in 1953, I strongly urge the
purchase of acreage hi suitable
suburban areas. Surely, the H
bomb experiments should quick
en the trend toward subsistence
farms.
As public bousing programs are
far behind schedule, the new Con
gress will not promote such in
1953 unless the need for pump
priming becomes much greater.
SLIGHT TAX EASING
Tax relief will come mostly
from expiration of present laws
rather than from a new enlighten
ed tax program. Barring further
international problems, the pres
ent corporate excess-profits tai
will be permitted to expire at tlx
end of June, 1953.
If the need for new taxes con
tinues high, after expiration a

FOREIGN TRADE OUTLOOK

CONCLUSION
For the year as whole I look
for business profits to be slightly
lower than in 1992. Bantings will
be better during the early months,
with a decline occurring later In
the year. Profit margins will be
cut by stiffer competition from
both domestic and foreign sources.
Recently upped wages, plus
some additional 1993 boosts, will
also put heavier cost pressure on
profits.
