acceptance of tWenty-year mort
cages by banks in place of a

Gus kinds. Like all stimulants,
however. these have gradually

decline in new building and new
home construction is only natural
to expect in 1861.
do. however, forecast that a
move for urban renewal will be
urged and secured by the new
President. This means pulling
down the slums of large cities
and substituting brick apartment

any new building is built, it in

World Outlook
| cannot cOnScientiouSly close
this Forecast for 1861 without
calling readers attention to the
unsatisfactory situation that we
find the world in today. l do not
need to coment on Russia or
China, as readers are well ac-
quairted with conditions there. I,
however, must add that Mr.. Ken
needy is agreeable to a Summit
Conference as he is itching for
a talk with Mr.. KhruShchev;
Kennedy has already stated that
he is willing to put Formosa
under the United Nations.
Readers should note the head
way which the Communists are
making in other parts of the
world. Southeast Asia, for in
stance. is a very rich area. 1t
is envied by both China and
Russia. We may expect con-
tinued revolts in South Vietnam,
Cambodia, and Laos.
I am especially troubled about
the way the Communists are
working into Central and South
America. know South America
very well. 1t has virtually no
middle class" There are a few
rich, but millions of very poor
The Communists are organizing
great strikes in Latin America
AS these strik e S accomplish
something for the wageworkers,
they give the Communists good
ammunition for further progress
This situation has been intensi-
fled by the agents of Castro.
Another very sore spot is
Africa, which l visited two years
ago. South Africa will blow up of
itself, without any help or him
drance from Russia. The Congo,
however, which the United Ma
tons is now trying to straighten
out, is serious problem: and
the Congolese feel that their con-
dition would be improved by
Russia S help. The great African
question, however, will be con-
cerned with the new countries
which have been given their in
dependence from the colonial
system they have been under for
$50 years. Here, Russia, Belgium,
and France are playing a wait
ing game to see if the new ma
tons can make good by them
selves.
cannot imagine the Russians
now going to war over Berlin. !
am more disturbed about the
gains in the Communist vote in
European countries. For in
stance, the Communists in Italy
received only 10 per cent of the
vote in 1916, but % per cent in
1860. Even in France, the Com
munist vote is again increasing
The money interests of France
want the Algerian rebels stamped
out for good. while the farmers
and small businessmen want De-
Gaulle to give Algeria its free
dom. When l was in France a
few weeks ago, it was generally
conceded that if DeGaulle should
suddenly drop dead, chaos might
reign. I dislike to end this fore
cast with these pessimistic COM
ments; but even if our county
is going along on an even keel,
some occurrence in some other
part of the world could upset all
our plans. HENCE. BE SURE
YOU HAVE MADE A WILL!
