Nonferrous Metal Firms
Expect Boom 10 Continue
BY The Assoeiutsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Most
branches of the nonferrous metals
industry look for the postwar boom
in production, consumption. sales,
prices and income to continue well
into 1948.
Domestic industrial demand alone
is expected to exceed available sup
plies of copper, tin and lead.
Government stockpiling will boil

upon to absorb any copper, tin or

tional goal of full employment"
the Council said.
The imitation which scared in 1947
will go down in United States his
tory along with three others Of
major Importance. all grown from
the same seed: War. The war of
1912, the Civil War and the first
World War all brought imitation,
and for the same reasons.
Put simply. this is what happens:
The economy during war is devoted
to all-out war production, and
civilian production nears stand
still; wages and income are high,
and money accumulates in the
pockets of would-be purchasers; with
the war ended, consumers need
goods and have money to buy them.
but goods are scarce; bidding is high
for available goods, and prices soar.
Prices Near 1920 Peaks.
The high point of the inflationary
period after the first World War
came in May of 1920. AS 1947 ended
the price of food and real estate
approached those historic levels. The
last imitation peak came sooner in
relation to the end of the war, but
this time price and other controls
were kept in effect for nearly a year
after the armistice, delaying the
impact.
Statistics for 1947 were dramatic,
if not altogether comforting for the
average citizen. who was being in
creasingly pinched by rising prices,
high taxes, and some continued
shortages.
The economists studied with in
terest the dollar value of the Ma
tion's output, hitting at the end
of the year rate of more than
$3.50 900 100000. compared with an
average of $203, 700, 100000 for 1916.
Some predicted it would hit $780,
900 100000 in 1948, which would be
double the $125 5000 1000 figure for
1941 and approaching three times
the 500, ,4OO, ,000,0 rate of the last
real prewar year. 1899.
The average citizen, however, was
more interested in different figures
in 1947: 1t took we'll over 81 to buy
a dozen eggs. pound of butter or
a pound of beefsteak over wide Sec
ltions of the country.
This imitation was, of course,
much of the story behind the records
established in prices, wages and
profits, and therein we're more
warnings. The dollar value of 1947
retail trade, for instance, is esti-
mated at a record $4,000, 900, 900.
but the amount of actual goods
moved across the Nations store
counters was less than in 1916, when
they were worth only 96,67O, 900, 900.
The 1941 figure was $55 400 900, 900.

for 1948 may be the year of return

in recent months, has contributed
two out of every three dollars o1
the gain in value Of production.
Forecasts of continued high
velocity business are today's rule
among Government economists
many of whom said year ago that
the country would now be fighting
a recession"
They believe the price climb
should level off somewhat in COM
ing months. But they've been wrong
before, and they shy away from
quotable predictions until they see
the final result of President Tru-
mans demand for price-wage con-
trolls, rationing and other anti
imitation measures.
Shortages May Force Action.
Republican leaders in Congress
prefer voluntary steps to curb the
spiral of wages and prices. But
even Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio, chairman of the Republican
Steering Committee, says next
springs meat shortage may be so
acute as to demand rationing by
April.
AS 1947 entered it's final month,
wholesale commodity prices were
only four per cent short OF the all
time imitation level of May, 1920,
farm products already were at the
highest level on record.
The Nations rents were rising,
They showed a per cent gain In
the first four months after the June
relaxation of rent controls. Con-
sumer costs in major cities leveled
of at an all-time high in October
at 1888 per cent of the 1858
level-b,,t as the wear ended were
apparently headed up again.
other signposts for 194S include:
Jobs-The United States En-
ployment Service says 1948 may
better the 1947 peak of more than
60 900, 900 men and women working
at civilian jobs. Unemployment Is
at a postwar low of 100000.
National income-It is rising, in
step with the value of national pro-
duction. The latest estimate, for
third-quarter 1947, is $204, 600, ,000,-
600 a year, compared with $72,500,-
100000 in 1889.
Production-The actual output OF
goods and services (as distinct from
their value in prices perhaps fell
a little short of the 5 per cent in
crease which President Truman set
as a 1947 goal. The dollar value,
because Of imitation, rose IA per
cent.
Buying Power Strong.
Trade-Buying power remains
strong. The value of retail sales
was IL or 13 per cent over last
years dollar value. Official surveys
showed that consumers intend tc
keep up a heavy rate of purchases
Of autos, refrigerators and larger
household items
Building-The Commerce Depart

of housing construction, 25 per cent
over the estimated 1947 volume

Scott has not hesitated to voice
dissatisfaction with current
highway policy and he has i'm
piled, without definite commit J
ment, that he might ask en-
largement Of the commission

Natural changes in population
density, industrial development
and other factors since the pre-

necessitate revision now.
UTILITIES - The new gov =

in criticism Of utilities commits

to request reorganization Of that
agency. Here again economic
progress has made advisable
