BABSON Discusses Truman's Experiment

Truman theory Whether not it will work nol
one knows; but it seems worthy of trial.
FIRES RUN IN CYCLES
There is one feature about the fire illustration
concerning which my Truman friends don't like to
talk. This is the fact that with all the wonderful
and efficient Fire Departments of our country, the
total fire losses-over long period-go up and
down according to Newton's Law of Action and
Reaction. The best Fire Chiefs in the world can't
control the human element involved in connection
with fires
During certain years people careless and
then there are an extra large number of fires.
These so increase that the insurance companies -
through the National Board of Fire Underwriters
and it's efficient leader w. E. Mallalieu = get busy
and start campaign to educate people to be careful.
This, combined with other factors, bears fruit and
fires decrease for series of years But people get
careless again and fires again increase. Statistics
show that fires have their cycle the same en-
plOyment, commodity prices and general business.
WHAT ABOUT STOCKS?
But granted that this Truman experiment will
work and I surely hope it will. Fire Departments
do not build new houses start new businesses
Likewise, this experiment of extinguishing a de-
preston at the start with bucket of water" will
not change human nature and prevent readiust-
ment sometime. Certainly, the Truman experiment
will fail unless labor leaders have change of atti
tude. They set fires faster than any Fire Depart
ment extnguish them!
All the above means that there is no hurry tC
buy stocks or bonds. The Truman experiment mus
ultimately result in higher taxes. This leaves less
money for people to invest. The real difficulty will
the stock market today is not because of the divi
dendS the security, but because investors have
money left to invest after paying living expense.
and taxes. President Trumans experiment may hell
to steady the stock market; but 1 don't see how i
could bull market in stocks commodities
real estate or anything else.

tiles, which were deep in the doldrums a
while back, show new life. And things seem
to be looking up in the appliance industries.
Consumer income, during the first half of
this year, was we'll ahead of last. And so was
consumer spending. In that first half, retail
sales were two per cent under the same per-
iod last year-but, Business Week says, this
was "only because of price drops. Far from
being frightened into retrenchment, con-
sumers actually spent larger proportion of
their incomes than in the last half of 1948."
Personal savings are at record or near-rec-
ord levels. This means that the public at
large has the means to buy pretty much what
it wants. 1t is probably true that, once prices
started downward, many people deferred
purchasing in the hope of really substantial
drops. If the experts are correct, these hopes
will probably not be fulfilled. Only very small
price declines, as a general rule, are expect
ed for the next six months or so. New wage
demands, if successful, and continued record
breaking government spending, might re-
verse the trend and cause price increases. The
experts have been wrong in the past, but it is
worth recording that most of them are opti-
mistic now.

Monopoly Probe
lN WASHINGTON
I i N ]

CTUDENTS of government, gov
~ ernment officials, economists
and even many business executives
agree that monopoly is an evil in
the economic life of nation. Some
point to the fact tnat Hitler's fas-
cism was nothing more than mo.
nopoly or a concentr alton Of pow
er among a few.
Mr.. Webster, Noah, not Daniel,
says that monopoly is the exclu-
i've right or privilege of engaging
in any particular business; exclus-
sive right or privilege Of engaging
bination of persons controlling
particular commodity or class Of
goods. And the Sherman antitrust
law says this state of affairs is I'M
lawful and illegal
Congressional committees have
for the past 90 years conducted
surveys and investigations from
time to time to determine the
growth and the evils, of monopoly
and this congress, not to be out
done, is doing the same thing, go
ing over the same ground and no
doubt will come up with the same
inconclusive evidence.
The last important congressional
probe of economic concentration Of
power was conducted by senate
special committee headed by Sen.
Joseph c. O'Mahoney Of Wyoming.
This committee declared that IS
per cent Of the nations supply of
any manufactured product was
turned. out by the four largest pro-
ducers in that industry. That is
monopoly, ruled the committee,
known as the temporary national
economic committee, in 1887.
Now Congressman Emanuel Cell
er of New York, heading house
judiciary subcommittee has con.
Quoted hearings for almost month
and plans to continue hearings this
fall. Difficulty seems to center or
just where monopoly begins.
The supreme court has held ir
some cases that 80 per cent contro
of an industry is not monopoly, bu
it supported lower court decision
that 80 per cent control is monopo
ly. So somewhere between 30 pei
cent and 80 per cent there is 1
starting point for monopolisti'
control.
The last big court case was som,
40 years ago when the STANDARD
Oil company was forced to split VI
into a number of regional com
panies. But just before he wa
named to the supreme court, Al
torney General Tom Clark filed tn
biggest of them all . the famou
government suit to break up tn
Dupont trust aimed at splitting VI
the vast holdings of the fabulou
Dupont family of Delaware.

nature intended.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THEORY
The Presidents friends would use a city Fire
Department an illustration of what they are try
ing to do to stop a business conhagration. A Fire
Department does not prevent fires from starting, but
only from spreading. The Fire Chief waits until
fire starts and then rushes to it and puts it out
If you divide the annual cost of any Fire De-
partment by the number of fires-at first thought
the Department seems inefficient Every city spends
$1,000 to put out $500 fire. Yet without the Fire
Department, that little fire would grow and perhaps
burn up the entire city. Hence believe that the
Fire Chief is the most useful and important citizen
of every city. They all should be paid money.
APPLY UNEMPLOYMENT TO FIRES
The Truman program is based upon similar
theory. If unemployment starts in a certain state
as it now has in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
the President wants to rush aid that section i'm
medately and stop the spread of that unemploy-
ment to other sections. To certain extent the
President is right in theory.
When the textile and shoe workers of New Eng
land are idle their purchasing power is cut down.
This causes other plants elsewhere to lay off en-
/ ployees Then unemployment increases all over the
country like an epidemic of flu. On the other hand
if enough government orders and aid are rushed to
these sick places the unemployed would go back
to work and would again buy goods This helps
every other part of the country At least this is the

HOW ABOUT THE OWNERS?

In recent years great deal has been said
in print and over the air about the welfare
of workers. Most of the time it has sounded
as If there were lot of workers and not very
many owners. The 1948 annual report of a
representative oil company certainly shows
a different picture. Last year it employed
6,31O men and women. At the same time it
had 33,157 stockholders, or five stockholders
for every employee. America is developing
mass ownership, just as it developed mass
production and mass distribution. Millions
of thrifty people have saved their money
and invested it to make American business
grow and so create more jobs.

INSIDE YOUNG U. S. A.

The widely known newswriter and COM
mentator, John Gunther, with an objective
look has written on the habits and doing of
various peoples on this globe. One of his
topical works dealt with what goes on inside
the United States. The other day, talking to-
a group of boys who had won top awards in
the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild, spOn-
sored by General Motors, Charles F. Ketter
ing narrowed the discussion but kept to the
basic point. The group at that meeting in
Detroit was made up of the most successful
competitors in a contest that had attracted
inquiries and entries from some zoo, 900 boys.
The competition on car design had won $4,-
900 college scholarships for the boys most
successful That was why Mr.. Kettering was
talking about what was "inside" the youth of
the United States. "There are two kinds of
opportunities" said Mr.. Kettering. There
are the ones that are outside, that you go
looking for, and those that are inside, the
kinds of opportunities you have used in this
contest. / always have great deal more
respect for the opportunities that are inside,
because you know where they are all the
time. Perhaps never in this history Of the
world have young people had the Opportuni-
ties they have today. No one can paint pic
ture so grand or so intricate or SO worth
while that it can't be attained by the skill of
the American people 1t has been said that
in England everyone has security from the
cradle to the grave, yet Individually the Eng
lish are the most insecure people in the
world. l gave commencement address a
couple of year ago, in the field house of a
university. There were baskets on the walls

anteed the score. Whenever anyone wants tt

become suspicious. All the people in Ameri
ca need is ball field, or place in industry

but an opportunity. That is what Mr.. Ket

THE POLICY OF DOG-EAT-DOG

The President and Congress seem to be
getting together on measures to achieVeI
world peace. In the past few years our "in-
ternational economic policy" has been little
better than a confusion of ideas among poll
ticians. We mean no disrespect in saying
that Democrats and Republican leaders were
about as dumb as the rest of us. President
Truman in his address to the American Leg
ion Convention in Philadelphia said: "World
prosperity is necessary to our own prosper
ity here in the United States >. the nations
of the world face new problems" Most of
Europe has broken doWn-otherS are on the
ragged edge The President told the Legion
that organized Communists have attempted
to achieve economic and political domination
of the world. He lambasted those ruffians
and WarmOngerS. The President assumes to
"know all about it," Anyhow, he has been
learning fast. Meanwhile he and the Con-
gress are getting together, and they are re-
solved that the time has arrived when the
world must stop .resorting to what he cor
rectly terms a policy of dog-eat-dog." The
Administration and Congress is agreed that
the United States will not desert Britain. Our
ancient foe of the Revolution is now our
chum, and there is no strong force in Amer
lea that is unfriendly to England. There has
been lot of talk, but the general under
standing in our Capital is that the English
Government will not be bashful about asking
Uncle Sam for all it wants. And they'll gel
it! We are spending money by the billions
and 81 $1,450,000000 is being set aside to helr
friendly European Nations retool war plants
