able to talk with men who do know
the gold mines of Africa. Further
more, these men will talk personal

frankly. If our country continues
on its crazy spree of spending, some
of these gold stocks should present
a good chance to make an honest

Outlook For COPIED
Are copper stocks now a bar
gain? Copper as a commodity has
fallen in price during the past two
years from around 40 to a present
price of about 26. Sometime during
this current crisis in the metal,
copper stocks will reach their low
point, if they have not already done
so. My favorite stock is Phelps
Dodge. This stock, however, has
only declined from a price of rs to
around 55 today. Africa is a large
producer of copper and may ulti-
mately determine the price of the
metal, and hence when to buy cop
per stocks.
/ am taking with me a column on
copper which have already writ
ten and will correct while in South
Africa; and 1 will then air mail to
Babson Park corrected copy to be
released therefrom. Let me add
that three African copper stocks
are already listed on the N. Y Stock
Exchange.
Uranium And Oil In Africa
There are few good uranium
investments in properties located in
the U. S. on the Colorado Plateau; !;
but most good uranium mines on
this continent, are in Canada. Your
broker should be familiar with such
properties. The greatest amount of
uranium, however, is now coming
from Africa. Your broker probably

BABSON DISCUSSES AFRICA

Babson Park, Mass, Oct. 2. When
you read this column expect to be
on the high seas heading for Afri-
ca. You probably think this is a
foolish thing for me to do. but
following are some good reasons.
In view of what i have said in
these columns about gold, copper,
uranium, oil, wool, and other metals
I am determined now to get first
hand facts. After so doing / will
either correct my statements or
confirm them through these col
umns. Africa is the best place to OBJ
tain such definite information to-
day.
Outlook For Gold
I have made reference in these
columns to imitation and to invest
ment in gold stocks at this time. If
we enter into real imitation, gold
stocks will go up. They have al
ready made advances; but if this
country changes the price of gold,
these stocks should go up much
more. AS u. S. laws forbid the pur-
chase or sale of gold within this
country as a commodity, investors
are confined to buying the stock of
gold mines. A few of these are in
the United States; but most of our
mines are fairly well worked out.
Wise investors in gold stocks on
this continent are confining them
selves to Canadian mines with a
long life.
When studying the statistics on
gold I find that over one half of
the Free Worlds gold comes from
Africa. This gold is mostly from
mines which are little heard of in
this country. Certainly I do not in
tend to visit any gold or other
mines and could not correctly judge
them if I did. I will, however, be
