Babson Park, Mass., June 23 ; Readers of this column are already ! asking me what effect the Invasion will have on the prices of stocks, commodities and real estate. Frankly. I it is too early to tell what will hap pen. The Allies appear headed for Paris and this city may be captured i by the time this gets into prin. Thi i early full ot Paris is essential to the Allied psychological phase. It may be the signal for the underground Continental army, estimated at 12,- 000,000 to begin action. The Allies must also secure, almost immediately, a number of good ports. Undoubtedly these will be Le Havre and Cherbourg and Brest. These ports have excellent facilities and were used by the Americans in World War I. Hence, our men are famil iar with them. After certain beach- i heads are secured, It will be neces sary to spend many weeks in getting supplies and men ashore before the real Berlin drive can be started. Of 1 course, the Germans may b.e willing to easily give up Paris with the idea of saving their strength for resisting Allied occupation of the German Fatherland. Is a Bullish or Bearish Position -Ilistifhsl? RATION BOOK REMINDER Wiiy ;i l ’armer Should Buy and K<»ep W ar Bonds by Gabriel I.umly 11 r<ul. Dept, of Agricultural Economici Sonili Dakota State College IJATRIOTISM, w illin g n e s s to * combat harmful inflation, and desire to build up a reserve of post-war buying power will irnpe 1 the farmer r to buy and keep wai ar Bonds. Farmer loyalty will express it self not only in maximum produc tion of necessary food and fiber for the winning o f the war. Farm er loyalty will also express itself in the equally necessary and pa triotic duty to invest cash with which the government can pur chase both food and war equip ment. Fortunately farmers are receiving higher prices and larger incomes. This has enabled many of them to reduce old debts to manageable amounts or to acquire surplus cash for Bond purchases. A sense of responsibility toward the need of the nation for funds with which to carry on the war will urge farmers to purchase War Bonds to the limit of their re sources. Both direct self-interest and pa triotism dictate the purchase of Bonds as a means to prevent in flation. During all our large wars we have had high war prices fol lowed by very low prices and de pression some years later. During World War I many farmers and others unwisely used the enlarged income to bid upw the prices of farm land. As a result the farm mortgage debt was more than dou bled. Then when post-war prices dropped very low many farmers became unable to pay, and lost their farms through foreclosure. A repetition of this calamity ean be avoided by investing in War Bonds instead of buying land at inflated prices and on credit. The danger of inflation, however, is not limited to land. It is also important not to bid up the prices of other things. Price inflation and price collapse in every line are harmful. Such harm can be avoid ed by diverting surplus funds away from the markets for scarce commodities and into War Bonds. Financing the war by means of heavier taxes would be more^ anti- inflationary, but since Congress has decided in favor of Bonds it is our duty and privilege to invest in War Bonds. Good farm management and self-interest as well as patriotism will urge the farmer to buy and keep War Bonds. If prices fall after this war as they did after our other large wars, the farmer with a reserve in Bonds will be in an ideal economic position. Farm buildings and machinery are wear ing out faster during the present war period than during normal times due to difficulties in obtain ing needed material and labor for repairs and replacements. Farm ers should now be putting money in Bonds to cover these costs. About 10 percent of the total ma chinery investment and about 4 percent of the total farm building investment should be saved each year to cover wear and deprecia tion. With lower prices, farm equipment, new buildings and new furniture and household equipment will be at the farm er’s disposal for less money after the War than now. Furthermore, if he holds his Bonds until maturity, his mon ey will he increased by one- fourth. With more money and lower prices, the Bond-invest ing farmer will then have cash to make his farm work easier and more productive. Ilis mon ey, will also yield him more in home comforts, education for the children, or in the pur chase of a farm lor the son. The danger of war-induced in flation docs not end with the actual fighting. Post-war inflation is fully as threatening. Large-scale con version of Bonds into cash for the purchase of articles, commodities, etc., before industry has had time tb convert fully to peace-time pro duction, will be undesirable. By holding his Bonds longer, the farm er or other Bond-holder will con tribute to the elimination of both a wild ‘ ‘ boom” and a subsequent depression. Agriculture and industry are in timately interrelated and inter dependent. The government is now industry’ s big customer. After the war, farmers will be big buyers of industrial products. If the accu mulated purchasing power is re leased gradually, and if income is widely distributed, industry can furnish full and continuous em ployment. In turn this will give farmers a profitable market for their products. Thus, both patri otism and far-sighted self-interest will induce farmers and others to buy and keep their War Bonds until after peace is achieved.
