flation until 1913; but nothing rad
zeal. After Roosevelt is reelected
with a Vice President satisfactory
to him, / should not be surprised
TO see him resign to accept the
head of the new World Organiza-
ton whatever this may be. This
could take place as soon as Japan
is whipped,-possibly in 1945.
HOW LONG WILL WAR II
LAST?
Intelligent forecasts of 1914
business should be based upon
some assumption as to the length
Of the war. If Germany is to
crack within a short time, 1914
may be very different year than
if Germany should hold out until
after our Presidential Elections in
November, 1914. Germany may
collapse early in the year, but
consider the following:
~ Churchill is very close to
Roosevelt. He desperately wants
him reelected. Knowing that only
continuation of the European
conflict through October, 1914, will
assure this, he is not hurrying
his Second Front.
~ AS the Republicans have
not yet insisted upon "uncondi-
tional surrender, the German and
Japanese people think their
chances might be better with a
Republican President,-which is a
temptation for them to hold out.
(3) Stain is definitely waiting
until after November 6, 1914 be-
fore making certain decisions, and
this will delay Germany's collapse.
(4) Although the Washington
New Deal might do nothing to pro-
long the war merely to insure
themselves four years of power,
yet they surely would not be ad-
verse to others doing so.
(5) Generally good war news
should feature 1914. The battle
hardened Russians should continue
to drive the German hordes back.
AS we enter 1914 the war has
rounded second base and is on the
way home. AS, however, stated
in my 1912 and 1943 Annual Fore
casts, we should not expect an
ending of the War until gas, chem
icals or bacteria bombs are used.
All of the above may be upset
by the death or serious illness of
Roosevelt, Churchill, Stain, Chang
or perhaps even Hitler in 1914.
NEEDED: MORE RESEARCH
AND RELIGION
Businessmen are faced with
three vitality important questions:
(1) Is it time now to give up seek
ing war contracts and prepare
plants for civilian goods output?
(2) Should subcontracting be re-
duced by approximately 500 so as
to be ready for civilian goods pro-
duction? (3) Is about war pro-
duction to utmost capacity the best
course TO pursue? My advice is /:
Continue to take all war subcon-
tracing you can get provided it
will not tie your plant up beyond
Election Day next year. Stop fur
Their expansion plans now. Work
research and postwar planning de-
partments overtime. Give orders
now for reconversion equipment.
Finally, 1914 will see a contin-
uation of the conflict between those
two philosophical theories which
are splitting civilization today
These may be expressed by the
eternal question of whether mar
~ is a spiritual being to be
guided by the Ten Commandments
or (2) is a evolutionary animal
permitted to follow the rules Of
the jungle even when possessing
college diploma and dressed in
tuxedo. If our first assump.
ton, the one for which oul
churches stand, is adopted as 9
goal, the coming year can be tho
beginning of glorious future. II
the second, which too many edu-
Gators are teaching, is allowed tc
grow, then World War II may
have been in vain. In the end,
spiritual forces must overcome the
material forces or civilization is
sunk. The hope Of a better post
war world lies with greater re-
search and more religion.
