BABS0N BELIEVES
BY ROGER BABsON

> BABSON PARK, Florida, March
'.9.-Since the slight rise during the
first part of January the stock
f-market has moved within close
range. How soon will the market
get out of its present rut? VIII
! stocks have a tendency to move
/ sidewise, slide off, or can inves-
! tors expect a decided advance? l
am definitely hullish for the long
term. At the moment, however, the
j. market is hesitatingly awaiting the
! invasion of the Continent.
Invasion Summary
The second 'front.' is more apt
10 consist of four invasion spear
heads, namely, at the Balkans, at
Southern France, at Northern
r France and al Norway. Here,
again, we run into uncertainties.
The only apparent factor is that
an invasion will take place. To all
/. intent, the accelerated bombing of
4 Germany is an invasion. In the
j. end. however. it will be the man
with the gun who will do the job.
!: How many of these spearheads will
. be thrown back is unknown. The
& time factor is also unknown. This
alast may not now even be set
!. tied upon by Oh, High Command.
I However, the necessary troops
and equipment are being rapidly
.massed. The day will surely come
when orders viii be given for the
advance. We can expect more ac-
ton in the stock market one way
or another when this takes place.
The enthusiasm generated by the
news of successful land invasion
should move stock prices - ahead.
This first move, must then be- di-
gested. The following course of the
market for some little time may
then be quite markedly affected by
the success Or failure of Allied
progress in the various invasion
theaterS
Current Factors Favorable
Prevalent good news would nor
ma1ly make Ctocks act well. For
the most part, the tax bill favors
investors. Results of the recent
Bond Drive are gratifying. Some

ed dividends. Annual reports show

LUMBERTON, March 9. - Will
liam M. Davis, IS, retired farmer
and resident Of the Barker ten
mile section for the past seven
years, died at his home at 5 pm.
Thursday.
A Spanish-American war veter-

Grams hospital in Fayetteville,
since he suffered stroke three
years ago.
Funeral services will be held
Saturday at 2 pm. at Barker S

still link the Germans in the
Dnieper-Dniester trap with their
main supply base, Lemberg, in
the north.
All three functions are closely
Russian invested. If they fall it
means a Russian front nearly
1900 miles wide less than 90 miles
from the northern border of Ru-
mania at its most vulnera BILE
point. There is no river line above
the headwaters OF the Dniester
covering the gap between the rise
Of that river and the Carpathians.
That Russian threat in the Tarno-
pol Proskurov Zhmerinka sector
outflanks all north south river
fronts for a Nazi defense Of Ru-
mania. T.
General Horace Sewell, official
British military commentator in
this country, estimates that the
three single-track railways which
cross the Dniester into Rumania
have a combined capacity less
than half the amount required for
supplying the (Nazi) divisions in
the Dnieper salient. Yet he found
no evidence that the German
commander has yet started a gen.
eral withdraway from the Dnieper-
Dniester trap.

great capacity in escaping from
the worst consequences of their

satisfactory results. Renegotiatiol
lis not unduly reducing -previousl,
reported profits Money in circula
ton has reached Astronomical
heights. Loans on life insurance
! policies are extremely low. House
hold mortgages have been greatly
reduced. Employment has been
well maintained. Salaries and
! wages have continued high. Brok'
ers loans are very low.
People have been getting out Of
debt. They are buying their quota
of Government Bonds and at the
same time piline up excess cash.
Ultimately. the bulk Of this money
will go into the stock market. A
deferred demand for stocks is. &C.
cumulating just as is deferred
demand for all sorts Of consumers
goods. When the majority Of in
vestors decide that the time is
right to fulfill their desire to own
stocks, We may have a boom that
will make prices exceed those Of
1928-1929.
Investors Are Tickle
Investors are full of hope one
day and in the lower ranges of
despair the next. Peace stocks
have been so touted that many
investors became convinced : that
the European phase of the war
would be over in very short time.
They sold their War Babies" and
went into peace issues The estab-
lshment of second front" did
not come when expected. We also
experienced some hard fighting in
the South Pacific. These same in
vestors then decided that after all
World War II was not quite ready
to fold up. Hence they stampeded
back again into war stocks.
I stick to my forecast that the
European phase of the war will not
be over until after the November
elections. It will then be a long.
hard road to Tokyo. Consequently.
= never went overheard on peace
stocks. I have maintained that the
best hedge. whichever way the war
goes. is a diversified list of war
neace stocks. These are bound to
benefit whatever NAV happen.
Best Policy
Investors should not be bullhead-
ed. It is sensible at times to take
losses in order 70 free capita1 head
ed in the wrong direction. More
over, remember no one ever went
broke takino A profit. Hence. the
successful investor must be good
saller as well AS q GOOD buyer. Gen.
eralship and intelligent staff work
are as essential to the manage
ment of an investment portfolio as
to the success Of an army.
Investors should have a definite
program based upon the broad
trend. This now points upward.
When this trend will get under wav.
however. is closely linked to the
invasion time. Even a set program
Of this nature must be looked at

Staggering to German morale
