change, Inc: 1.-The only safe pre-
diction for the coming year is that
commodity futures of the world will
more than ever be required to per-
form one of their most important
functions. that of price barometer

sumers.

closed for the duration Of the war,
this country will assume to an ever
greater extent than formerly the
position of central clearing house

Oscar F. Pearson, chief statlstl-
clan, Automobile Manufacturers AS
sociation, estimating factory sales
of 3,7lO,OOO motor vehicles IN 1889:
with most industrial indices point
ing to continuation OF active busl-
ness into the forthcoming year. the
expectation is for further gain IN
automobile production in 1910. Most
estimates of total output run be-
tween 10 and Is per cent over 1889.
Sloan Cites Problems.
Alfred p. Sloan, jr., chairman OF
General Motors Corp.-"Our own
domestic situation, to say nothing
of the world situation, demands that
we put our house in order. There
exists right here a double RESPONSE
bility: First. to ourselves and to our
country; second, to the world in
which we must continue to live. For
it may we'll be that eventually the
world, of necessity, will be dependent
upon us to bring some order out OF
chaos"
H. Gerrish Smith, president, Ma
tional Council of American Ship
builders-"Our position is much
more fortunate and secure with
merchant marine adequate for our
needs than if. as was the case IN
1914, we were altogether dependent
for our foreign trade on the ships OF
other nations. The year which is
Just closing undoubtedly will remain
one Of the outstanding in the history
of American shipbuilding.

Nineteen-forty Is . presidential
year, Of course. It is q custom to
regard national elections as an adj
verse influence upon business. The
records fail to substantiate this as
sumption, however, and uncertainty
over the answer Of the ballots will
be engulfed among a jostling horde
of other perplexities. The campaign
may be bitter but, on the whole, 1t
can hold few violent shocks for
business. For the coming year, at
least, it seems that the course Of
industry and trade will be shaped
by other than domestic political
factors.

were well into the twenties. Cur
rency building costs are holding
steady, financing charges are the
most favorable ever for the would
be home owner, and there is an in
calculable deficiency in modern
housing inherited from the depres-
sion years.
Healthy Inventory Situation.
Manufacturing. wholesale and in
dustrial inventories do not appear
to have grown tremendously since
production began to spiral upward
last fall. Business still has a clear
memory of the difficulties which
followed too-exuberant buying In
1887 and that mistake is not likely
to be repeated Immediately.
Commodity price indexes which
sagged after the initial stimulus of
the war wore of, came back to end
the year at new highs. The inf1u-
ence of drought reports affecting the
grain markets, foreign and special
situations bearing on certain COM
modities were the major causes
rather than general buying wave.
Wholesale and retail prices have re-
sponded very moderately to the up
swings in primary markets and the
purchasing power of the average
consumer dollar remains high.
Imitation Again to Fore.
1t is natural that business expan-
sion marked by price and wage in
creases, well justified though these
may be, should revive the familiar
subject of imitation. We have ST.

But stacked against this explosive

are surpluses of goods, unemployed

Small price increases can call out

Evangelical Lutherans
to Face Legal Action.

Legal troubles have once again beset
the First Evangelical Lutheran church
here with the move on the part Of the
plaintiffs in the recent trial TO stop the
church from afiliating with the ma
tional church to appeal the case TO the
state supreme court.
Judge Edward Freeman, who presided
at the trial, is now studying findings
in the case. Action was brought IN
district court at Virginia
The latest action on the part Of the
two trustees who brought the original
suit came as a surprise TO church off,
Gals, defendants in the case, who had
considered the case closed. Judge
Freeman had granted a motion for dis
missal OF the suit asked by the defend
ants after hearing only the testimony
Of the plaintiffs
While information reaching here IS
not clear on the legal steps involved, i
is believed that if Judge Freeman re-
verses his original decision new trial
will result Such a trial would be q
lengthy affair, with the defense pre-
Senting its side of the controversy.
