Al. City real estate will continue
to hold firm through l949, due to
less available rental space caused
by pulling down structures to
save taxes, provide parking
spaces, etc. There also is a disin-
clination to build new city pro-
perty in view of the present high
costs.
AZ. Suburban real estate will
continue in fair demand during
1949 although there will be some
shading of prices.
43. Big commercial farm acre
age will sell for less during 1949;
but subsistence farms, located
close to established communities
will hold up in price.
"A. General building will de-
crease during 1949 although the
cost of building may decline a
little. The quality of workman
ship will improve.
AS. Both office and residential
rents will be higher in l949.
Only as property owners are
granted higher rentals, will there
be enough houses to rent.
as. Mortgage interest rates dur
ing 1949 will continue about the
same as in 1948. Any changes Will
be toward increases.
Politics
At. The Administration viii
encourage legitimate new enter
prises and full employment con-
tinuing its loyalty to labor and
the farmers.
48. Vacancies in the various
commissions and government,
corporations organized since 1882
and which have great powers
will be filled by men acquainted
with legitimate business but
friendly to Mr.. Truman.

foreign policy out of the hands

SO. Safe dividend playing stocks
will be in greatest demand, es-
pecially if double taxation on

Bonds
81. We are definitely bearish

bonds as money rates will gra-
| dually increase.
SO. If Congress should exempt

taxation, 1949 will see a further
| falling off in the prices of certain
tax-exempt bonds.
SO. We forecast no change in
the nations monetary policy re-
lating to credit control and in
terest rates during 1949.
40. Investors will give much
more attention to diversification
in 1949 and will try to have their
bond maturities either fairly

Lubor Outlook
Is. Good business depends up
on two things: ID reasonable
wages and (2) reasonable prices.
When both of these factors are
in baance there is good business;
but when they get out of balance,
look for trouble. Low prices are
of little help when people have
insufficient wages with which to
buy: but it is also true that good
wages are of little use if prices
are too high for people ito buy
The Taft-H Hartley Law will be
repealed or amended to encourage
! free speech, union protection and
increased production.
26. The income of wageworkers
! must increase before an advance
in prices. Contrariwise, too high
| prices always precede a decline
in employment and wages. This
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1948-12-30

downward cycle leading to un-
emplovment may begin in 1949
Much depends upon crops and
weather.
81. Labor leaders who get in
creased wage rates usually gel
reelected, while those who dc
not get wage increases are liable
to be defeated. Hence, labor lead
ers have naturally kept urging
higher wages, although they may
feel in their hearts that wages
are high enough for the time
being. We forecast that 1949 will
see some change of attitude ir
this regard and that wise leaders
will be more interested in pre-
venting the bust.
%. Some labor leaders will
during l949, work for pension
systems and sick benefits, This
would be a constructive program
for employers who can afford to
do it, but many employers can
not afford even these benefits at
this time. Both employers and
wageworkers will some day unite
in during a program which will
give steady work throughout the
wear. This is the best hope fol
lower building costs. Bricklayers
painter and carpenters r criti'
cized today for doing such 6
small amount of work, but we
must remember the many days
when they are. unable to WORK
due to weather and other condi'
tons.
Initiation
80. Initiation (high prices)
comes when consumption exceeds
production. This means that in
flation can be checked only by
increasing production or by re
ducing the money supply. The
job of getting prices down today
depends. therefore, upon what
management and labor produce
per hour. We believe that wage in
creases during 1949 will be accom-
panied by a corresponding in.
crease in the per hour production
of the wageworkers.
Some object to the large pro
fits that their employers r get
ting today compared with the
| 1905. 1t, however, should be re-
membered that during these de
preston years most employers
had no profits whatsoever. We
forecast that profits will continue
to be regulated automatically by

continued, 120 are now under
going treatment in the Jewish
hospital there and an unannounced
number are in government or
private institutions. Scattered in
cidents of knitting of Jews are re-
peatedly reported in various parts
of the Egyptian capital, he said.
The killing of three rabbis in the
slaughter house took place on
July Fl, he reported.
Both Jews and Europeans were
attacked earlier in July when
they left large mOtiOn-picture
theatres, the French traveller stat
ed. The most violent of tthese
attacks, he declared, occurred
near the OdeOn and RivOli The
aires, in the center of Cairo, on
july II. The fury of the Arab
mob sent 20 persons to hospitals.
1t was in that assault that one
Henri Gaillard, a French national
and an OIympics rainer, was
fatally wounded by seven knife
stabs. Gaillard fought back and
succeeded in killing four of his
assaiIants before he collapsed and
died, the informant said.

Egvptian mobs, he revealed,
killed three rabbis by splitting
their Threats after dragging them
into a Cairo slaughter house. He
estimated that at least $50 Jews
had either been killed or nao
disappeared" in Cairo incidents
during the last four weeks. A
substantial number of Jews had
been wounded, he said. The po-
groms and anti-Jewish terrorism
are tacitly encouraged by the
massive attitude of the Egyptian
Government, he charged.
The gravest single incident. he
reported, occurred on July 20 at
one of CairO's chief street car
functions, in MaIila Farida Place.

alertness of communal workers.
Especially active at the Repub-
lican convention were the Blue
Star Mothers of Pennsylvania,
headed by Catherine V. Brown.
The group picketed the Conven-
ton Hall with placards bearing
hate-slogans and cartoons, and
distributed literature. Also on
hand was Agnes Waters, moth
ers' leader of Washington, D. c.,
who set herself up as the only
woman candidate for President"
Her placard read, "Elect Agnes
Waters-We'll Clean Out the Jews
In Government"
At the Democratic convention,
Donald LOhbeck, Gerald L. X.
Smiths lieutenant, endeavOred TO
attract Southern delegates to
Smiths latest 'front.'" the Christ
ian Nationalist Party, by making
capital of the civil rights issue:
He issued an announcement that
headquarters" of the OrganiZa-
ton had been opened in PhiIadel-
phia for the duration of the con-
ventiOn, but added that he was
not giving out his address be-
cause of pressure from Jewish
extremists" which, he said, "fOr-
ced the closing of the Nationalist
headquarters before the close of
the recent Republican cOnven-
tiOn."
During the convention, Lohbeck
held a meeting in Philadelphia on
July 18th which was attended by
approximately $50 persons, among
whom were the members of the
National Blue Star Mothers of
Pennsylvania, and followers of
w. Henry mcfarland, Jr., local
Nationalist leader, as well as
some Southern delegates. At the
meeting, Lohbeck declared that all
Southern delegates were wholly in
accord with the principles of the
Christian Nationalist Party and
cordially invited them to join up
with the group. Lohbeck also de-
clared that many of the Southern
delegates were going to bolt the
convention on the following night.
He urged mothers" to get busy
and circulate among as many del
egates as they could in order to
persuade them to join the with
drawal from the convention.
Agnes Waters also appeared at
the Democratic convention and
walked down the aisle of the hall,
shrieking anti-Semitic slogans
until escorted to an exit by an
official.
Another who attempted to
make use of the political situation
was Prescott bennett, former de-
PENDANT in the Washington sedi-
ton conspiracy trials, who cir
culated an appeal for the adoption
of a plank at the Republican con-
vention calling for Justice" for
all of those indicted. His circular
is headed Justice for New Deal

Israeli Government
Plans Population
Census


completed here this week for a
census of the Jewish and Arab
population in Israel and areas &C.
cupied by it's army. A population
register will be drawn up and
maintained by the statistical de-
partment of the Premier's office
AS each citizen-Jew or Arabs
registered, he will receive an
identity card.
The Israeli Government is now
facing serious economic problems,
especially in connection with the
daily increasing initiation. The
cost of living here is at least
double that in the United States.
Also troublesome is the manpower
shortage and the financial prob
lem involved in maintaining the
Israeli Army at full strength.
There is great pressure here
from religious parties to have the
civil law based entirely on Jewish
traditional law, but this view is
vigorously contested by virtually
all jurists and most lawyers in
Israel. This may be one of the
fiercest controversies in the way
of early completion of an Israeli
constitution.
But the issue of Jerusalem is
the most serious. 1t is being agi-
tated in all parties from right to
left with such unanimity and
force that the government will
soon be compelled to take some
definite action. Feeling is so
strong on this matter that the Ben
Gurion government might easily
have been defeated had it acted
with less determination.
For all practical purposes the
Jewish-controlled parts of Jerusa-
lem and the road approach in
Jewish hands have been incorpor-
ated in the Jewish state. The
foundation has been laid in this
way for partition of Jerusalem,
with the new city in Jewish hands
and the Old under Arab control.
Such a solution would be accept
able, but Irgun opposes it, de-
manding that the entire city be
annexed by Israel and made its
capital. In this the Irgun has
been joined by most right-wing
and Orthodox parties.
