our most valuable product - our trained youth
For new investment capital creates more jobs

New capital brought in by long established

haphazard. In short, we seem to
be drifting on the home front as
we have been in foreign affairs.
The stock market reflects the
mood - American Senators pride
themselves on being practical
men. To nine-tenths of the Sem
ate 'civil rights" is bloody
nuisance. The only rights" they
really care about are their own.
Let someone suggest the time to
stop talking is at hand and they
will rise as one man to protest
this intrusion on their privileges.
If you try to discuss an alb
stract idea, even suggest that
lack of Senate vigilance may be
responsible in some degree for
the economic slow downs, they
won't know what you are talking
about. But what the Senators do
understand is what's happening
on the stock market.
They know what they can see.
And what they see they do not
like.
While there is always a ten
dency to panic here, the facts are
easily attainable. What happened
after the second day Of trading
in 1860, was that the stock mar
ket has roughly declined by
about 10 per cent. According to
market historians this is the
most severe decline, percentage
wise, for any January on the
record books.
When it comes to interpreting
the reasons for the decline, var
ious experts part company. Some
say the Presidents continued
emphasis on the dangers of Fin
flation", rather than the need for
expansion, worries the financial
community. Others say that Vice
President Nixon's settlement"
of the steel strike, without chang
inc the work rules, has depressed
big businessmen.
Some insist that the continued
climb of interest rates, which,
helps swell the profits of the
large commercial banks but
otherwise is restrictive, accounts
for the decline. Still others insist
that the Treasury decision to pay
5 per cent on certain government
bonds has caused the big mutual
funds to divert their capital from
industry to federal bonds, lead
ing to the market drop.
Finally there is big segment
of business, led by the steel COM
panies, who insist that foreign
competition Japan and Germany
especially is causing American
business to lose its margin of
profit.
Is peace too expensive? = All
these elements undoubtedly con-
tribute to the present confusion
But if the January February
slump ends, the natural tendency
will be to go back to our normal,
carefree approach to economic
problems. The financial experts
will forget to ask questions as to
whether we are at the end of our
11-year 'bull market"

if the time is not at hand for
