that whenever prosperity" becomes
mental, conditions must improve to
justify this high prosperity or else
there must follow a depression
period approximately equal in area
to compensate. The difficulty with
the Law is that no way has yet been
discovered to forecast the length
or area of this prosperity period.
We all know that labor leaders,
groups, cannot keep up their pre-
sent tactics forever. (Trees do not
grow to the skies.) But how long
they can keep them up, no one
knows.
Great Events Ahead
There are factors which. could
prOlOng the present era of pros
perity. One of these-the spending
of billiOnsItO protect our large cities
against enemy bOmbs--I have often
forecast in this column. I believe
my friend, Val Peterson, the
National Civil Defense Admins
traitor, will secure the necessary
appropriations which could offset
any decline in military expenditures.
Another factor, which businessmen
should watch, is the conflict between
Great Britain and the United States
regarding the opening up of China
and Far Easter trade. l believe that
the British will be successful and
win their argument. They know
far more about foreign trade than
we do and they have much more
at stake. If China and the Far East
are opened to trade, this could do
much to lengthen prosperity.

BABSON NOT PESSTMTSTIC

BabSOn Park, Mass, Nov. 12. 1853.
My daily Bible reading recently was
the FOrty-first Chapter of Genesis.
This tells the story of Joseph and
the Seven Lean Years of famine
following the Seven Fat Years of
prosperity. This story especially
interests me because during the
past summer l had been reading
Breasted's History of Egypt, a com
plete' history of the worlds most
enduring nation.
Length OF Cycles
The remarkable feature about
JOseph's business cycle is that the
story has continued to be told by
word of mouth, written in script.
and finally printed, over a period
Of about thirty-six hundred years.
Certainly, if these cycles had not
continued from generation to gener-
alton this story of JOseph's cycles
would have dropped from the
Hebrew history. as so many other
folklore stories did. Remember that
for 1000 years this story passed
only by word of mouth; for 1000
years it passed only by handwritten
script; and only during the last
500 years has it passed by printed
type.
Naturally, the story interests me
in view of my fundamental belief
in Sir Isaac Newton's Law of Action
and Reaction. Newton published this
Law in 1859. Most scientists and
economists have recognized it from
that day to the present. In short,
in the business realm this means

SAN FRANCISCO-What do you

To at least two hOstesses of the
San Francisco area these are not

These poised women are Mrs.
Clark Kerr, wife of the chancellor
of the University of California, and
Mrs. Bee Conan, a leading lady of
San FranciscO's International Set

Whenever possible, invite people

Perhaps all this is the American
idea of war of nerves. But if so,
it's our own nerves that seem
to be taking the beating.
Nobody Wants To Buy
Build a better mOusetrap and
the world will beat a path to your
door," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Once upon a time, a man built
a better mOusetrap," says Merle
Thorpe, "and sat down and waited.
Nothing happened"
The world never beat any such
path, and never will, says Mr..
Thorpe, the newspaper reporter
form the grass-roOts who made
a pamphlet-sized hOuse-Organ into
the worlds greatest business maga-
zine.
That mOusetrap maker, he says,
spent his day in the village and
made his traps at night. He called
on the villagers and told them on
the advantages of a modern mouse
trap over rat-pOisOning. However
/. he was able to call upon only
ten or twelve people during the day.
Of these 10 or 12, only about 1
had any need for his mousetrap.
So he conceived a brilliant idea. He
put a little notice in a weekly news
paper describing the mousetrap and
saying he would call upon anyone
who had mouse problem, and
demonstrate it.
HE thus interviewed not 10 but
1000 in one day This selling
en- masse brought in so many
Orderes that he had to spend all
his time making mOusetraps."
, Mr.. Thorpe has dug up Mr.. Emer-
sons mouldy and misleading para
BILE. and taken the trouble to correct
/ it because he feels that today, where
there is talk of recession in the
air, is a good time to emphasize
/ two simple, but commanding truths!
First, nobody wants to buy any
thing; and second, mass production
/ is not the result of knowing how
to manufacture in quantity, but of
learning how to sell that way.
Every so often in our expanding
+ economy" he says. land particular
/ ly just now in our concern over
the switch from war to peace, we
worry about a buyers strike. But
how much more devastating would
be a sellers strike! If every sales
man took to the hills" says Mr.
Thorpe, "the famed American
standard of living would collapse.
The detOnatiOn of deflatiOn would
be deafening"

cries from the Indians, and still
use much the same methods in
trapping the elusive little fishes

shore the age-Old SEEMING operations
are reinforced with ultra-modern
engineering and scientific aids.
Radar and depth recorders are used
in hunting down the shimmering

catch to the canneries, and fast,
modern carrier vessels are dis

bushels of them-and race back
to the cannery.
In Maine, where the cold waters
of the Atlantic produce as tasty
a marine mOrsel as any spot in the

American saTdines, caught in
American water and packed in

they're already swimming along

In Madrid, Air Secretary Harold

"Will atomic bombs be stockpiled
in Spain?" And. according to report
he replied: atomic weapons will be

done with the full approval of the
Spanish Government.
In Athens next day, Secretary
Talbot made a fiat denial, being
then qOuted as saying: THE report
is not true. never made such d
statement, nor will / ever make

In Washington the same day
President Eisenhower suggested tC
Secretary Dulles and Secretary

to create jitters abroad. Mr.. Dulles

Precedent Needed

Senator Joe Mccarthy is pretty
upset about our oldest university,
where, he says, Red professors are
sheltered and there is a smelly
mess. He says he couldn't con-
ceive of anyone sending children
to Harvard University where they
would be open to indOctrinatiOn
by communist professors.
The Senator has sent wire to
Havard's new president, DR.. Nathan
M. Pusey, asking him how he feels
about DR.. Wendall H. Furry, assOci-
ate professor of physics Last May,
after DR. Furry refused to answer
questions of the Senate Internal
Security sub-cOmmittee regarding
his alledged membership in the
Communist Party, the Harvard
Corporation decided to keep this
scholar on the staff, but placed
him on probation for three years.
The gentlemen did not seem to think
that DR.. Furry had been a Com
munist since 1947.
In recent testimony, says Senator
Mccarthy, DR.. Furry has said he is
not now a Communist, but has
refused to answer questions about
his loyalty prior to March 1, 1851.
The educator also told the sub
committee, according to the Senator
that from 1943 to 1945 he worked
on radar research for the Govern
ment, but refused, on grounds of
possible Standardization, to say
whether he turned over secret
material to the Communists.
We can at least hope that Presi-
dent Pusey may take a position
similar to that of President Eisen-
hover, whose recent executive order
provides for summary dismissal
of Government workers who hide
behind the Fifth Amendment-On
the very solid ground that a job with
Uncle Sam is a privilege and not
a right.
Moreover, it would seem par
ticularly fitting for this world
renowned university that was
founded but 16 years after the
Pilgrims set foot on this continent
to set a pattern of Americanism
There are no others who could well
follow.
This Little Fish Goes To Town
Every fisherman who has ever
thrown one back will raise an eye
brow at the idea of $2O,OOO,OOO d
year industry based on fishes thai
are much to small for any sports
man to take home.
But that's actually what the sar-
dine business is up along the Maine
coast, where it provides a livelihood
for over 5000 fishermen and can
