present levels of consumer buy
ing power well into l948. Per-
sonal incomes are now about S
TO 7 percent above the average
in The first six or eight months
of lS47. However, the basis for
a further rise is difficult to find.
At present, nearly $4,000, 900 peo-
pie are employed, with about l.
10000 unemployed. Since some I'M
employment is inevitable due to per-
sons changing jobs, the nation is
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01
Factors Appear Favorable for the First Part
of the Year, But Changes May Occur Later

These conditions are leading to
some tightening up on housing loans
which may prevent new construc-
ton from showing the increase of
10 to 20 percent predicted in official
quarters.
Exports in the last two years
have been supported largely by
loans and grants by the government.
Their value in 1913 will depend
greatly upon the extent of aid voted
by congress to implement the Mar
shall plan. About Sc billion for
1913, of which one-fourth would be
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01

close to the manpower limit; hence,
there is little possibility of increas-
ing buying power through a further
rise in employment.
Sustained Employment
A number of factors will tend to
sustain the present extremely high
rate of employment during the early
months of 1913, although the I'M
DERIVING influences are becoming
less favorable and cast some doubt
on the continuation of this high rate
of activity throughout the year.
Business plans call for continuation
of large new investments in plants
and equipment, especially On the
part of railroads and public utili-
ties.
Since such OUTLAWS require pay
ments of wages and salaries but do
not provide currently any goods or
services to be sold to consumers,
they tend to strengthen the mar
kets for the goods which are avail
able. However, these OUTLAWS are
gradually catching up with the need
for additional capacity, and the cost
of new construction is excessive, SO
that any uncertainty about future
demand may cause some concerns to
drop their plans for expansion.
High Production
Residential construction and
automobile production probably
will continue at high levels
through most of ls48. since these
are the fields in which the great
est backlogs of untitled demand
are found. However. city real
estate values are highly inflated
in many areas. building costs
have reached excessive levels
and mortgage valuations have
been getting out of line
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01

for food, feed and fertilizer, is the
amount proposed for the 16 coun-
tries included in the plan. How
ever, even if the full amount is
granted, it is doubtful if net ex-
ports will be as large in 1913 as in
1947 when they were exceptionally
large.
Purchases by countries not in the
Marshall plan will be restricted by
their lack of dollar exchange and
by our high prices, and these prices
will tend to attract imports. In the
first 10 months of 1947, exports to-
tailed about $12.2 billion and inn
ports about 4.6 billion, making net
exports about $7.6 billion. The fact
that exports were so much larger
than imports tended to exhaust
foreign buying power reserves and
exerted strong upward pressure on
domestic prices.
Farm Exports High
Exports of agricultural products
in 1947 were about 81 billion and
their physical volume was more
than double the 1859 average.
Because of short crops in Europe
in 1947, exports will continue at a
high level through the first half
of 1913. In the second half of the
year, they will depend greatly on
the new crops in Europe, as well
as on the amount of Marshall plan
aid. Weather is likely to be more
favorable than for the 1947 Eu-
ropean crops. Substantial reduction
in agricultural exports in probable
in the next few years.
During the war period, govern
ment spending of borrowed money
was the dominant force in pushing
up commodity prices and incomes.
At present, the federal government
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01
in 1913?

and 1t is reducing Its debt slightly.
This action is slightly deflationary
out it is greatly overbalanced by the
enormous holdings of government
securities of the banks, which are,
potentially, the basis for great in
crease in bank loans to finance fur
Their business expansion.
While all this adds up TO a
rather favorable outlook for
l948. if is most important TO re-
member that we are in an in
flation period similar TO those
following other great wars. The
accompanying chart shows
what happened on the previous
occasions when the initiation
airy forces began to wane. Cur
REM prices and incomes certain
lY are far above the long-run
average level TO be expected in
the future. The main question
is when the readjustment will
start.
What measures to check infla-
tionary price rises will be enacted
by congress remain to be seen. To
the extent that such steps are taken,
they will restrict further price in
creases, although past experience
indicates that they are likely to be
only partly successful in achieving
their detectives.
Support Measures Unlikely
If economic conditions should
change later in the year and bring
threat of a serious price decline,
government supporting measures
probably would come into play.
Whether the government will be
more successful in preventing defla-
ton than it was in avoiding infla-
ton remains to be seen. Under
present legislation, support of many
key agricultural commodities at 80
percent of parity is required until
Dec. 81, 1948. However, the No
vember 1947 average level of farm
prices was 119 percent of parity;
hence it is a long way down to the
80 percent level for many products.
Volume of farm production will
have more influence on farm prices
than on aggregate farm income,
since an increase or decrease in out
put is likely to be compensated by
an offsetting change in prices.
Government goals for 1948 call for
an increase of nearly 3 percent in
total crop acreage. Livestock goals
are mostly lower than 1947 output
in keeping with the smaller feed
supplies carried into 1948. Actual
crop and livestock production will
depend in part on weather. In
spite of the poor corn crop in 1947,
average yields per acre of all crops
combined were well above normal.
An unfavorable growing season next
year would exert much upward
pressure on prices but would not
necessarily lift farm incomes, and
might have a depressing influence
on industrial activity and employ
ment, which are based partly on
processing, transporting and distri-
buting farm products.
Farm Costs UP
Farm production costs are quite
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01
By GILBERT GUSLER, Market Analyst

THE YEAR ahead promises to be
i a period of continued high prices
and high incomes for farmers. The
year will start with farm prices on
siderably higher than at the outset
of 1947. Domestic demand is likely
to continue near the present extra
ordinarily high level for a number of
months, probably beyond the first
half of the year. Strong foreign de-
mand until the 1948 European har-
vest approaches appears assured.
Prospects for the latter part
of the year are obscure, but the
chances appear TO be against as
favorable a finish as in l947.
Farm production costs will be
higher in 1948 so that net in
comes may be somewhat smaller
than in l947. especially for farm
ers whose produce is sold mainly
in the last half of the year
At this time a year ago, some
recession was generally expected in
1947. Opinions varied as to when it
would start and how severe it would
prove to be. Business inventories
increased rapidly during 1916 from
their depleted state at the end of the
war, so that, at the start of 1947, in
dustrial workers were being paid for
producing substantially more goods
: than were going into consumption.
Cessation of inventory buying
seemed likely to cause enough bust
ness letdown and loss of employment
to affect farm prices. Export de-
mand for farm products also APP
peared likely to be smaller in 1947
than in 1916.
Factors Sustain Boom
Inventory accumulations tapered
off in the first half of 1947, but ex-
port demand for both agricultural
and industrial products proved to be
extremely large. Hence, total bust
ness activity continued at an ex-
ceptionally high rate.
When the boom failed to come to
an end and the proposed Marshall
plan promised, if enacted, to assure
good export business for several
years, inventory accumulations
started up again in the latter part of
the year. Export demand was sus-
tanned by extremely poor crops in
Europe and by governmental meas
ures to relieve hunger abroad.
The cashing of terminal leave
bonds in the last quarter gave con-
sumner buying power a further lift
In addition to these strong elements
of demand, employment and con-
sumner income have been supported
by an extremely high level of BUSH
ness expenditures for new indus
trial plants and equipment. Such
spending in the last quarter of 1947
set a new high record.
Income Up 10 Percent
Under this favorable set of con-
ditions, the level of national income
increased about 10 percent during
the year. The index of prices re-
ceived by farmers, which stood al
264 percent of the 1904 level in
December, 1916, advanced to 289 in
October 1947 and was 287 in No.
vember. Farm cash income from
sales and government payment.
probably was slightly owe $780, 1000.

FRANKFURT. Germany, May /,
Dasch's German mother
learned for the first time yesterday
that her son had been convicted
in 1912 as Nazi spy.
She learned it from a reporter for
the Army newspaper Stars and
Stripes. who also brought her the
news that Dasch has been. paroled
from an American prison and re-
turned to Germany.
She wept with Joy at the news, the
paper said. She had heard he was
in an American prison, but she
didn't know why. She had thought
he was an anti-Nazi because he
talked against Hitler on his last
visit home in 1898.
Her other son Ernst was a soldier
in the United States Army. she said.
Her daughter Clara also lived in
the United States for a while, work.
