Babson Forecasts Business VIII
Decline During Next I2Months

not mean that more goods will be
produced: in fact 1912 will show a
decline in the real wealth Of
America.
Unfortunately, the increase in
the industrial production will be in
the defense industries. Nineteen
forty-two will show considerable
decline in the nop-defense indus
tries. 1t is well for my friend
Odlum and others TO talk about
shifting over manufacturers of lawn
mowers to making battle tanks. To
a certain extent this will be done
in 1912, but great many. monde
tense concerns will suffer If the
war continues through 1912. Wash
ington tells me that with Japan,
Germany and Italy lighting us We
may need so per cent OF the wage
workers of the country on defense
works before Hitler is eliminated
This seems very high TO me as
Great Britain now has less than
80 per cent engaged in defense in
dustries.
VIII Bombing Win the War?
Most readers, whether employers
or wage workers, should primarily
be interested in whether World
War II will continue in its pres
ent fury through 1912. II II will
so continue, this is good news for
those engaged in the defense in
dustries. and bad news for those
who are in certain non-defense in
dust;les. II the war is to end dur.
ing 1912, then the reverse is true
In fact, We would then see some
hectic times which would be detri.

though helpful to others. There.

and answer the questions. "Wiil

per capita or percentage basis.
My estimate for U. S. federal, state,
and local taxes for 1912 is s25,000,-
000, 900. This gives q per capita
figure OF about ,$ls0-for every L.
S. person; while the British figure
will be only sl73 per person. Based
upon national income, it is esti-
mated that U. S. taxes take 25 per
cent OF our national income while
the British taxes will take only
% per cent.

But Grove, who had lived alone
IN his lonely shack at Wolcott,
made good his escape and has
not been seen or heards from.
Many theories have been advanced
concerning his whereabouts and
his escape but police officials
have been stymied in every effort
to bring him TO justice.

inclined TO accept suggestions that
the body was that OF Mr.. Grove.
The murders OF Clarence Yuskls
