PAGE FIVE After The War Babson Point Out Some Coming Changes Babson Park, Mass., July 31 Our first Job is to win the war. It would be far better for all of us to concentrate on this task rather than to think about what's coming afterward. How ever, it is characteristic of our people to look ahead, to move swiftly from one task to another and to continually think up something new to worry about! Hence, already some of the boys in Washington are laying long-range plans and the public itself is concerned over the post-armistice period. Here are my brief thoughts on the subject: Long Armistice Seen Probable The fighting part of the war may end suddenly. Transporta tion is still our worst bottle neck. Once that is licked, the weight of our arms and man--power will be felt throughout fthe world. Hitler naturally is trying to reach his goals before that time comes. Moreover, losses on the eastern front may reach a point where both sides will suddenly decide upon an armistice without, however, either Germany or Russia tak ing a decisive beating. Hitler's successes in Africa and Egypt were accomplished by only an extremely small fraction of his armed forces. At the same time, they were valuable for home propaganda purposes. Rommel . can now lose as well as win. In neither event will the final course of the war be much changed. The real war is being fought on the Russian front It is foolish now to forecast the result. We, how ever, will know much more in four months. Then an intelli- U fi R K E 313- 315 North Riverside A Open from 7 A. M. to 11 P. M.

Armament Program Will Continue Russia has stated that her in tent is only to clear her own country ol the enemy. Whether, ii the time comes, she can or will pass over into German ter ritory is at least questionable. Both sides may, by winter, be worn to a frazzle. Ii so. an armed truce lasting for years may suddenly be announced. This, however, would not in clude Japan, but her phase of the war is the lesser. Hitler must first be stalemated, or knocked out. In this event, we would con tinue to send men and muni tions abroad. Perhaps for years it may be necessary for us to play an important part In the policing of much of the world. Under such conditions our ar mament industry would by no means re-convert overnight to the manufacture of peacetime goods. A very- substantial amount of war material will be lost between now and any ar mistice period. Furthermore, dut to the rapid advance of technological processes, much equipment will become out moded. During the period of any armistice and even after the treaties are signed, I expect to see the production of the imple ments oi war continue. We are not going to be caught again soon. Will a Financial Depression Follow? The costs of maintaining an armed truce will be consider ably less than fighting a war. Hence, I expect to see a marked easing of the individual and cor porate tax load. The present outlook for the national debt does not alarm me. To keep the debt in hand, all that is necessary is for the government to keep up the payments of in terest. This it will easily be capable of doing. The gradual j redemption of war bonds and i the increasing demand for such I peacetime goods which will then no longer be restricted make it fairly certain that we will not go to the financial bowwows at the war's end. Short-term money rates should rise. The stock market will be relieved of its burden of fear and once again we may have 2,000, 000-share days. The effects of the Social Security act should begin to be felt. Tourist travel will rise and again Florida, California and the southwest may find themselves highly prosperous. Speaking of travel, if I were 40 years younger I would be awfully tempted to get into the travel agency business. There will be a lot of cheap ex cursion rates on a world scale, when the war is over. Can you imagine how badly mamma, papa and sister will want then to see the far-away places where their soldier boy has been? They'll sure all go over for a "look-see" some day. Business Changes , ... Ahead For U. S. In peacetime only a few pro gressive concerns maintain re search departments for the im provement of old and the de velopment of new products. It is difficult to get directors or stockholders of most concerns to vote funds for the maintenance of such departments. In war time the scientists have a field day. Then, new products and substitutes develop rapidly. Out of them come conveniences and benefits which later peacetime civilian life enjoys. In fact, we enjoy them so much and living becomes so easy that in a short time we become soft and wake up to another war. In the post-war period, we shall have an industrial face lifting. As the armament in dustry declines in activity, both the old and the new industries will again become active. Sub stitutes for silk, rubber, fibers, woolen and other products will be in every-day use. The use of steel may decline, but alum inum, magnesium, or some other metal will take its place. In dustrial consultants will play an important part in our post-war conversion period. Salesmen will again be in demand to ex plain new wares to buyers. Ad vertising will be necessary to acquaint the public with many new items of civilian use. There I will be plenty of prosperous 1 businesses and Jobs for the nimble-minded who are willing to work hard and save money. Of course, sometime there will be a sad day of reckoning for our present vast expenditures ' and experiments, but this should not come until after a post-war ' boom.
