The World of Finance
COMMON STOCKS

Common shares, of course, are diff ferent, and in many instances do not yet indicate their true value of earn inSs and possibilities. The domes- tic situation of the United States should still reflect it's enormous pow CT in a further ultimate price en- hancement of the stocks representing its leading industries. The Sherman Act is practically devitalized and the cooperation of the Government with big business has given the latter a unique position in the world.
 Postwar adjustment will find the industries of the United States able to cope with this problem in far rrore adequate manner than those of other warning nations, and this abil- ity should find Esflex in a higher lev ell of those industries which are at present engaged in supplying war ne- cessities and which, at the same time, will be able to adjust themselves quickest to the constructive upbuild- ing of the world when peace comes.
 Of course, when peace comes, there will be other factors which may some what modify the situation, such as la bor problems and high ipterest rates. These questions will, oH course. de- pend upon the general conditions in which this country will find itself. The fact remains that in the past three years this country has prosper ed enormously. The national wealth is estimated to be about S25O, 900, ,000,- 900 and the annual income around $40, ,0G0, 900, 900. Industrial plants are running to capacity and labor is fully employed. Agriculture alone ad- ded s2o, 1000, 100000 of new wealth to our account last year, and still lar ger return is in sight this season. We confidently depend upon our great resources to meet the effects of the war-Wollman Review.
