BABSON Discusses Retail Prices

are sened near shore will be in cans within few
hours from the time they caught. What price
the fishermen get however, is a small factor in the
retail price. This is dependent upon labor costs,
transportation costs, and rent costs all of which
are surely going up.
INVESTMENTS FOR FARMERS
Often the farmers have asked me to recommend
some investment for their loose money. When
prices were low, have suggested either the Ameri-
can Can Company, or General Foods which leads
in the freezing industry and has valuable distri-
buting system. l also like merchandising stocks,
especially those of established "5 and 10" cent
stores, and the good grocery chains
To my friends in Florida who have never con-
troled their surplus crops, / am tempted to say
"Sell your grove and re-invest at the right time
in the United Fruit Company. This concern is now
doing with bananas what you for thirty years have
failed to do with oranges and grapefruit 1t raises
packs, ships transports and distributes bananas
and hence can control the cost and price"
SMALL MERCHANT OPPORTUNITY
1 believe in small sustenance farms, insur-
ance for people whose income not dependent upon
the land. But cannot recommend small farm as
a business. Farming, ranching and fruit growing is
becoming "bg business" whether we like it or not.
The present of small units will sell out or
combine with larger units. Agriculture is going on
a factory basis. the same as the manufacture of
shoes, shirts and bread.
There always will be an opportunity for the
small merchant who will live over or near his
store and open up before the big stores and keep
open later at night. He cannot get rich or become
a country-club member, but he can be free from
labor worries and many other headaches. Hence
I am much interested in the Small Businessmen
Association, which my friend Ernest Gaunt is
fathering. This organization is not blaming either
the the retailers but rather the railroads
and the labor unions

HIGH-PRICED "SEcuRITY''

1t seems to be political axiom that gov
ernmental efforts in the eVer-expanding field
of social security invariably cost far more
than the estimates.
England, like many another country, has
lately provided evidence of this. The Labor
government was recently forced to ask the
House of Commons for very large appro-
priation to make up deficits for the current
fiscal year. 1t appeared that one major rea-
son for this was the cost of the new universal
free medical service plan. The deficit in that
case alone, for a nine months period, was
nearly 100000 pounds, which is well over
$200,000,000 at the official rate of exchange.
The Minister of Health explained the in
adequacy of original estimates by saying that
the public had made much greater use OF the
service than was expected. This bears out
the experience with socialiZed medicine In
other nations. A large percentage OF the
people seem to work on the theory that they
might as well get what is coming to them,
whether there is any real need for it or not.
So even the most honestly and carefully pre-
pared estimates of cost prove sadly wrong
and, as a corollary, doctors find themselves
so overburdened with patients and admins
trative duties that they are unable to give
the proper kind of attention where it is
actually needed.
In the United States, many experts are
convinced that government estimates of the
cost of our proposed compulsory health n
surance bill are nowhere near high enough
What is happening elsewhere certainly bears
out that opinion.

POINT OF NO RETURN


The Farm Journel, which has very large
circulation among rural families throughout
the United States, recently ran an exception
al editorial, which deserves the widest poss-
ible circulation. Here is what the Journal
said
''Never has a nation recovered itself,
once the leaders have lured the people far
into the grip of socialistic power. You can
call the roll as far back as history reaches
Countries go on down to catastrophe as Ger

of their affairs, and so became the earth S

the government to support us.
Government offers more help for agri-
culture, housing, education, health and other
things Everybody is encouraged to ask for
something. Every government aid means
more taxes and more regulation. Each new
experiment fastens onto the people new

WHEN ILLNEss STRIKEs

One of the basic implications in argu-
ments on behalf of compulsory government
health insurance is that the great bulk of the
American people are almost totally incap-
able of dealing with illness when it strikes.
That implication is not supported by the
facts. According to one authoritative report,
more than 52,O00,000 Americans now have
hospital insurance; 26,000,000 have surgical
insurance, and 100000 have medical in
surance. In addition, 31,000,0O0 have disa-
bility benefit insurance. An article IN the
Christian Science Monitor says that "about
half of the 30,000,000 American workers who
come under unemployment compensation
laws are getting added protection, now,
through voluntary programs that insure
against wage loss, while employed, due to
illness or other disability"
This represents very remarkable pro-
gress, particularly in the light of the. fact
that the voluntary prepayment medical plans
had to pass through a trial and error period
at the beginning, and did not get going on a
big scale until relatively few years ago, At
present, their growth is both steady and
rapid, the cost is low, the extent of cover
age has been substantially broadened, and
they clearly provide the soundest approach
yet devised to the problem of paying for
medical attention. There is a small percen-
tage of the population which is actually in
digent, and which cannot deal with the prob
lens of illness without outside aid. But, GER
tainly, this group can be cared for without
taxing the American people billions a year
for aScenpplsory scheme for all--and with,
out setting the stage for completely Social
