Advice to Young People -
One thing which must mention
in closing is this:-The British
elections will cause most OF Europe
to follow with socialistic expert
meuts. The movement will tenn
porarily cast its shadow on the
United States. This means that
every family should own a little
fertile land and every young per-
son should become an expert in
some profession. art or trade.

When ChuFchill's defeat was an.

started to crumble. When, how.

that II would take years. for Eng

gan to buy back securities. The

this.

| am more sure OF this than ever
since the Labor Government OF
England won by such a large ma
jority. This will enable them to
take over the Bank OF England and
issue all the money they need for
their socialistic experiments.
Whether or not these will be a sue
cess, no one now knows. Russia Is
the test tube, Notwithstanding
what her friends say. But for the
next few years, while the expert
ment is being tried, jobs should be
plentiful and money should flow
like water. Stocks should sell
higher,-not only because of their
intrlnic merit; but because wise
Englishmen will shift from their
English stocks to American stockss
Stocks Not Too High
Compared with panic prices Of
ten years ago, the stock market
now seems high to many conserva-
