BABSON X. Excluding defense orders, tke total business volume In 1952 will be less than that for 1951. How ever, National Income In 1952 will oe very high, as war orders take ihe place of peace production. Government Controls 2. The outstanding feature ot ?9d2?Darting all-out war?will be -he Presidential Election on Nov ember 4, 1952. I comment further upon this under paragraph 48. 3. The Administration and its economic advisors appear firmly -onvinced that radical inflation is J "out to break out next year. But ?he "brain trusts" are overlooking .ae fact that the boom is already jui and that it was creaking badly ? hen the Korean War broke out. the date of the slide has only mov _d ahead. 4. tarra income will continue nigh in 1952. 5. As 1952 wears on, the effect of controls, Increased taxes, and high prices will cause a decline in legitimate business. If civilian production declines too much, the ^uoiic may then cry, "This is a government-made slump; 1 e t's --hange the Administration." 6. If in 1952 It becomes evident that business is declining too much as a result of government curbs, -he planners at Washington will rush their patient into an oxygen tent. Labor Outlook 7. Many labor groups will be suc cessful in getting another round of wage increase in 1952. Although -here may be more important strikes in the first part of 1952, -here should be a decline in work stoppages in the last half year. 8. Tightness In the labor supply ?vill continue through 1952, par lcularly in highly-skilled workers, ./ages of such workers will be ad anced voluntarily in onler to hold them. 9. The Taft-Hartley Law will not oe repealed during 1952, but may oe amended. The Administrators of the Law will continue to wink at some of its clauses. Commodity Prices Will Remain Firm 10. Wholesale prices of many commodities will suffer a mild de cline in 1952 when compared with ..e price level for December 31, -951. In some lines the drop may <e quite steep from the high levels >f 1951. Retail prices for 1952 will hold steady. 11. Commodity speculation for a ise will not pay in 1952. Further more, our expanding stockpiles of strategic materials present a real price threat in the event of a peace scare. Some stockpiles could hen act strongly as a depressant on prices. Wise merchants will op errate with only a conservative in ventory. 12. The cost of living will re main high during 1952. This pre diction recognizes that living costs lext year may continue above the ?ower levels that existed during ue first half of the year now clos ig. I also predict further rises in rcight and passenger rates. Irirm uotiook Good 13. Congress will not take any teflon during 1952 to legally bol . ster so-called Fair Trade price 1 maintenance. It's too risky politi cally when consumers are com plaining about the cost of living. But, some manufacturers will tighten up on distributors, elimi nating those who won't sign Fair Trade contracts. 14. Barring crop failures, the to al supply of food available should be larger in 1952 than for 1991, since the government will raise planting quotas as part of Its at tack on inflation. If the weather is extremely favorable, the gov ernment will be asked to give away surplus crops. 15. With prospects good for a -islng supply of feed grains, most meat should be more plentiful next year than in 1951. Prices for beef, however, will be held up by high wages and military needs. Local Taxes WU1 Be Higher 16. The burden of Federal taxes, both corporate and personal, will not be Increased again during 1952 above the advance late in 1951. State and Municipal taxes, how ever, will go higher again. 17. The above forcast is based on the assumption that unless Sta "ln starts World War III during the ear'y months of 1952, he has made up his mind to forget World War III until the United States mi our Allies again "Go to sleep," which may be some years hence, we give this as a definite predie Mon as to the outlook for World War III. 18. There are three ways to pre vent inflation: (1) Increased pro duction; (2) decreased spending: and (3) as a last resort, increased I faxes. I forecast that the current ' "xploitatlon and accompanying fear of inflation are not yet at 'heir peaks for this business cycle. 19. States and Municipalities will again be under pressure to tnd adequate sources of revenue. Further increases in sales taxes by Seminary Classes Begin January 1 Roger W. Babson States and Municipalities can be tooked tor next year. 20. There will be no increase in "luxury taxes" during 1952. Domestic Trade Uncertain 21. Certain curbs will continue to hold down the demand for auto mobiles and certain household equipment. Completions of fewer dwellings will also act as a damper on furniture sales. 22. Falling demand for hard goods should stimulate the public's spending for food and lower-priced soft goods. 23. The above trend forecast will mean a decline in department store volume. I predict a rise in the sales of variety and drug chains. roreign Trade Outlook 24. I believe that armament la to become a new and permanent industry, at least for many years to cotaie. Airplanes, tanks, artil lery, guns, and munitions will con stantly be replaced as they be come obsolete. This new activity will operate much as the automo bile industry has operated. I fore cast that this will be more and more recognized throughout 19S2. 25. Barring new war develop ments, I look for continued shrink age in our civilian exports during 1952. Imports, however, may rise further. Exports to South America will be off. Total foreign trade should not be changed much, but the exporters will be on the short end of this business with the im porters gaining. 26. Except for war supplies, it will become difficult to convince Congress that additional heavy credits should be granted abroad. 27. Many domestic manufactur ers will feel increasing competi tion from foreign merchandise. A cry for increased tariff protection will be heard; but no radical tar iff legislation will result. More Deficit Financing 28. The first quarter of 1952 may actually see a budget surplus as a result of high National Income and increased taxation. But, a Federal deficit will surely arise during the balance of the year. 29. Government loans will grad ually increase during 1952 and there will be some strengthening of basic interest rates. 30. Government bonds will con tinue to be held tightly between the floor of Federal Reserve sup port purchases and the ceiling of Federal Reserve anti-inflation sales. Under such conditions, price changes should be negligible dur ing 1992. 31. While Canada and South Af rica have permitted "free markets" or revaluation of gold, because of Increases in costs of production, the Administration is still opposed. The Gold Stock of the United States is, however, likely to be revalued upward when the nation, in the opinion of government economists, "needs another shot of inflation." Stock Market And Bond Outlook 32. Until the danger of war is past, wise people who can easily do so will move out of large bomb vulnerable cities and avoid having Investments in such areas. 33. Sometime during 1952 stocks will sell lower than current quota tions. This applies especially to oils and certain "blue chips." 34. Stocks now in the best po sition for 1992 should be many of those that have not been popular as Inflation hedges In the past months. I like good chain variety store stocks, certain movie stocks and possibly the air-transportation issues. 35. Investment Trust funds, pen sion funds, and insurance compan ies may provide an excellent back log of demand for sound Income Stocks where good values can be demonstrated. 36. Successful investors of 1992 will be those who have the PATI ENCE to follow a carefully plann ed Investment program. Sock a program will emphasto diversifi cation?not only by t?t and The Baptist Seminary Extension Center will begin classes Tuesday. January 1, at 7 p. m. at Murphy rlrst Baptist Church. Courses are offered In New Tes tament. Old Testament and preach ing. Books to be studied are as fol lows: The New Testament World, by Dr. H. E. Dana; New Testament History, by Harris Franklin Rail; ''he Heart of Hebrew History, by Dr. H. L Hester; The Preparation of Sermons, by Dr. Andrew W. Blackwood. The Bible will be the main text book in all courses. All ministers and laymen inter ested in doing seminary study are invited to enroll. Classes will meet Tuesday at 7 p. ra. for the duration of each term. industry, but also by quality and cash. 37. Highest-grade taxable cor porate bonds should hold in a nar row price range during 1952, but I see no reason for individual in vestors to buy them unless they are CONVERTIBLES. 38. With present high income taxes, tax-exempt bonds should continue in good demand. Invest ors should see to it that their bond maturities are carefully diversi fied, with some part of their bond funds maturing each year. As there usually is not a good market for tax-exempts when an estate is liquidated, it is wise to hold only such bonds as will mature near the time of one's probable death. Real Estate Activity 39. Much of the recent real es tate boom was the result of easy credit,?almost nothing down and small payments for years hence. Under the recent legislation there will be fewer small homes bpilt in 1952; -hot some credit restrictions will be modified. Mortgage money , should soon be had on more liberal I terms. 40. Nonessential commercial building will be hit in 1052?but, barring World War III, controls will be lessened rather than in creased. 41. The decline in new building will continue to throw a wet blak et over speculation in vacant su burban lots during 1052. 42. The scare caused by the Ko rean-China War and fears of an early outbreak in other sections will adversely affect the demand for big city real estate. This fear, however. Is declining and many who had put their city properties up for sale are withdrawing them. 43. Small sustenance farms should hold up well in price as these continue to be valuable in flation hedges. Demand for large commercial farms, however, should weaken as the year progreasts. 44. Any swing bade toward rent control will act as a further dam per on new apartment house build ing. There is as yet no Incentive to build homes for rental income, although rent control is gradually lessening. 45. Tighter credit controls will make it more difficult to improve older residential properties. Hence, the prices to rthese should week en even though these are not the best buys. 46. Volume of money and credit in circulation will continue to in crease to about the peak of a few years back. The big rise has been In credit. Much of the credit in crease is "secured" by commodity and property values that can shrink greatly when defenae pending ends. 47. Those who can do ao should attempt to get defense orders If needed to hold up production vol umes and reduce overhead. Not too much profit from such war business should be expected. These contracts will be subject to tight fisted renegotiations. 48. The political outlook for 1051 will be completely dominated- by jockeying for position in the Presi dential race for 1062. Barring World War III, Congress will pass very little new legislation except some sops to labor and the veter 40. Congress wtl Mill be domi nated by a conservative coalition of Northern Republicans and Sou thern Democrats. This North South coalition will still be able to curb onslaughters by New Deal ers. 50. Democrats, as well as Repub licans, in Congress are making ever yeffort to avoid antagonising fanners. Again, in 1052?as in 1048?the fanners will hold the balance of power in the Prestdant tlal and many CongresT tions. Midwest states ca break the Presidential The labor vote la
