Babson Predicting
Business Increase
LAKE WALES, Fla., Feb. 20 (tPi
- Roger "W. Babson, noted eco
nomist who accurately predicted
the great Wall Street crash, said
today he does riot expect a depres
sion in 1954.
The 78-year-old business analyst
said at h s winter home here that
toe main cause of unemployment
now reported in many sections of
the nation is fear rising from talk
of a possible depression.
"There has been so much talk
about a depression that the con
sumer has let up on his buying,
which has resulted in merchants
holding back orders from manu
facturers,” he said.
“But the consumer still has
money. I think there is something
to the idea that he dan hold it on
ly so long before it burns holes in
his pockets apd, in fact, it has
already been spown that he is be
ginning to spend it.
“This will resuit in merchants
spending money tor merchandise
and will bring g business upturn.”
Batson recalled how back in the
late 1920 s when he forecast the
