PA OF, THIRTEEN
OVER LAST YEAR
Country Will See at Least
7 Per Cent Gain This
.Year Over 1936 Says
Noted Statistical Analyist
INDIANAPOUS. Ind., May 7 (AP)
Arthur .C. Babson, member of the
Babson Statistical organization ol
Babson Park, Mass., predicted here
'today the nation's 1937 business
would be at least 7 per cent better
than that of 1938, "the best year In
point of buslnssB volume since 1929.'
He told approximately 800 Indiana
bankers that business activity was
bsck at 1923-'37 levels, but bad not
reached the 1929 levels.
Ke said higher profits, more orders
and greater employment had caused
the evaporation of depression. He
estimated the 1936 national Income
was approximately t60.000.000.000, an
Increase of more than 80 per cent
over the low of (39.000.000,000 In
1932 and within 28 per cent of the
1929 high of 983.000.000.000.
"In 1930 the trend of business was
definitely downgrade." Babson point
ed out. "In 1936 the trend of busi
ness was Just as definitely upgrade.
The physical business last year was
4 per cent above 1930."
He asserted the balance In the bus
iness world "Is better than It has
been for a long time."
In support of this statement he
pointed out: (1) Industry's debt to
creditors is the lowest In many years;
(3) fixed charges have been reduced
greatly through a scaling down of
debt; (3) large amounts of refinanc
ing have been consummated at low
rates of Interest; (4) corporation
earnings have been Increasing rap
Idly: (6) bank clearings have con
tinued to make gains, and (6) busi
ness fsllures have continued abnor
mally low.
Babson predicted an Increase of
at lesst 30 per cent In all building
during 1937.
