Amends Visioned

Instead of democratic victory
being Immediately followed by
catastrophe bursting of our
war-blown boom, there will be
experienced activity and expan-
sion somewhat approaching that
which followed the ending Of the
world war.
No matter how long or short
the war lasts. there will be pileG
up in this country untitled needs
for almost every kind of goods.
Demand will spring UP in
sufficient volume to make at
least temporary amends, TO a
very large extent. for cessation
Of defense orders.
In contrast with what hap
pened when the world war
stopped. our government will not
issue blanket cancellation of con-
tracts. instead. everything one
can learn indicates that our adj
ministration intends TO keep on
terrifying this nation, especially
on the sea and in the air. TO a
point which will make il impreg-
nable regardless of what may
occur overseas. Indeed, more
than one industrialist has con-
fined to me that official WASH
ington has conve such
intimations.

Lowest Market
Prices Near,
Hdney Believes
BY LEWIS HANEY

essor Of Economics. n. Y. Universal
In general. II seems that the
stock market is getting about
low enough to be interesting for
the investor. If the equities In
american business concerns are
not good. what sort of invest
ment is?
Do you think that any gov
eminent which would tax cor
porations 10 death would
overlook real estate or bank de-
posits? Do you imagine that any
government which would sell
out TO organized labor would
hesitate TO seize any kind of
property? / don't think so. Ac-
cordingly, / cannot see why
anybody should suppose that
farms. apartment houses, dia-
monds, or government bonds are
good: but that stocks are not.
or course, you may imagine
that we are headed for COM
munism and the abolition of pri-
vete property. But if you do.
you should realize that there is
no way to protect your property
or income, and you might as
well own a share in the nations
industrial plant and equipment
as in any other property.

Interested in Lows

I do not believe that we are
headed for such extreme rad
icalism. I think that we will
learn how futile the govern
ment" is as a business manager.
and that the New Deal will be
voted out for inefficiency and
mismanagement. Accordingly, ]
do not expect stocks to become
worthless, nor the stock ex-
change to be closed. Thus as
stocks get down TO point
xhere they yield 6 TO 10 per
IT. and stock exchange seats
III for the lowest price since
1898, I begin TO get interested
n buying.
And the more general and in
iense the bearishness, the surer
enc may be that the low point

Of bottom than universal pes

II Is fairly clear that tax

this is a factor. Now. IL is
especially significant, because
% the urge 10 reduce taxes is
stronger than ever before, and
(2) the market is terribly thin
on account OF little buying. The
enormous rise in taxes, and the
abnormal uncertainty a out
business, are the causes.
But in a way this is bullish.
Those who sell TO take tax

when he came to Detroit was a
car on which there were about 10
notes, plasters. liens, or what ever
you want TO call them.
A business friend OF ours was
appointed to an advisory post in
government service some time
ago. Just the other day he got a
letter from his mother. who lives
outstate. asking when he was
going to take that new govern
ment job.
He next heard from several OF
his old schoolmates of 1916 and
1917 vintage in another town that
they had been questioned.
Finally an FBI man dropped in
to see him and went over four

from birth.
