Another Bataan Stand?
With General Douglas MacArthur's return to

Japanese three years ago, there Is natural speculation
as to wnere me imai insmnne cnaoier 01 we drive to

peninsula for the last stand nearly three years ago.
Will General Tomoyukl Yamashita follow his strat

will he retire to the mountainous eastern or south
eastern Luzon?
WE will probably have air and sea superiority and
should eventually have enough men and equip,

Tokyo, in Sunday's English language broadcast,
claims heavy losses for the invading American
armada and points to the difficulty of maintaining
our forces on Luzon. The notoriously inaccurate
Tokyo-radio was probably wrong on the extent of
American losses but was certainly right on tne Highly

Outlook For

street is alwnys too bearish or
too bullish. These brokers are
honest, but very temperamental.
Two years ago, when railroad
stocks were selling for 80 of
their present prices, the average
Wall Streeter would not touch
them. Today, at three times
those 1943 prices, they are urg
ing that rails be purchased.

reduced their debt or now have
large bank accounts. Also, they
are benefiting from low Interest
rates. They have a better stand
ing with the government be
cause they have demonstrated
they are essential to winning the
war. The U S. will henceforth
protect its railroads as a part of
any program for military pre
paredness.
It also should be remembered
that the railroads must, to some
extent, share with any prosper
ity ahead. If we are to have a
postwar national income of from
iiuo to 1120 Billions a year, ine
railroads postwar gross earn
tnas must exceed their prewar
I earnings. This I believe is pos
sible ,but I ask, "Have the prices

come bonds not already more
than discounted tnlsi
Disadvantages AIs
Seen la Rail Shares
The gross earnings of the rail
roads will, however, not in
crease proportionately to the na
ttonel income. The railroads will
have much more competition
after the war than before. .The
new great pipe lines which have
been built will take away much
of their oil business. The re
sumption of both coastwise ship
ping end river transportation
should materially reduce the
earnings of such roads as At
lantic Coast Line, Seaboard and
Illinois Central. Southern Fa'
clfle, Atchison and other trans
continental! will suffer from the
opening of the Panama Canal.
Also they will have more air
plane and bus competition.
Most railroads are today in
poor shape physlcaUy. They
must spend billions after the
war not only for new equip
mentbut for maintenance of
roadbeds, tracks, bridges, fta
tlons, etc. This maintenance is
being greatly neglected today
Personally, I had much rather
buy the stocks of companies
which sell equipment to the
railroads thsn to buy the stocks
of the railroads.
Profit In Inflation
Doubted For Ralls
Some brokers claim that the
railroads will profit from Infla
tion, but I don't see this unless
they get a greater Increase in
freight rates. Ail these must be
approved by the I.C.C. and these
bureaucrats act very slowly. In
creased rates seldom keep up
to the increase in the prices of
the hundreds of things wnicp
the railroads must buy.
Inflation will result In higher
living costs which will mean
that railroad labor will demand
increased wages. Railroad en
gineers, firemen, conductors,
freight men, station agents and
common labor ere well organis
ed. As soon as the war is over
they will demand higher wages
and will get them. In fact, dur
ing peacetimes, railroad labor
has "skimmed the cream" about
as fast as it rises, leaving only
the skimmed milk for Investors.
Net Earnings of
Prime Importance

Unload Railroad '
Holdings, Advice
Begin now to unload rati
stocks end income bonds. Don't
try to "hit the top." The fellows
who buy from you must have
some chance for a profit in 'or

Don't be a hog; but be satisfied
with a fair profit. The longer

chances of getting offl Then we

News Behind

By Paul MaOoo
Washington, Jan. IS A New

coming.
His point,, as

anything else.
As the produc

This is new viewpoint be
coming popular now and aired
In many front-paged speeches
predicting deflation.
WELL now, let us see. bcot
nomlsts ere nose-led by
statistics. All their conclusions
spring from figures. Let u look
behind the figures a little, not
for obscure facts, but to those
which are known and obvious to
every adult alive today.
You walk into a restaurant
and see a price celling list hang.
Ing on the door. That price list
will tell you prices have not ln
creased mueh the past few years.
The dollar dinner, say, is now
only $1.25.
But your senses will tell you
a far different story. The. por
tions on the dinner nave oeen
cut possibly in half. Far cheaper
foods have been substituted. IM
quality has deteriorated frpm SO
to too per cent, 'mere is no put
ter served, no ketchup.
You set a Daner nankin. There
is no tablecloth. The service is
(ess than half what it was on the
old dollar dinner, as help is not
available.
Actually, what you get In that
dinner for $l..s is less than half
whet you formerly got for
w m
IS this not new type of In
flation, yet undetected by the
economists who follow statis
tics? Is this not hidden inflation?
Are you not really getting the
old 60-cent dinner for S1.23 and
therefore has not the price in
creased 100 per cent or more, In
stead oi tne ;a per cent snown
on tne ceiling cnan at tne aoor
and in the government statistics?
I think this is undeniable.
My father could buy for his
dollar 20 loaves of bread, I can
buy eight. This is a measure of
inflation, but is it all? The bread
I buy has deteriorated In quality,
say SO per cent. Is not the con
cealed inflation greater than the
statistical one?
The same situation is notice
able in aU necessities of life, in
some more than others. The price
or gesoune na not oeen in.
creased, but the quality deter
ioration actually represents a
tremendous price increase of 80
per cent or more. In meats,
foods, liquor, cigarettes, the same
process of conceeied inflation if
at work.
Indeed. It I apparent even in
services, as well as good. You
get far less work or greatly in
ferior work for the limited wage
Increases (with more vacations
and other allowances including
acceptable absenteeism), so that
wage statistics no longer actual
ly represent any comparison
with old standards, but a doub
ling and trebling of wages, not
shown in statistics.
THERE Is another wide-open
avenue of concealed inflation
the black market. What Is the
Imoortance of a national statis
tic showing no Increase In the
price of certain goods in open
trade, when such goods are not
available in open trade, but can
be purchased only secretly at
double the lace price unaer tne
counter? Is this practice not com
mon at every cross roads in the
land?
Nothing will be accomplished
by pretending this situation does
not exist or is not important, jno
problem was ever met that way.
In my opinion, tne oniy tning
that can break the process now
or after the war is the restora
tion of sound values. Prices,
wages and aU the other statis
tics mean little when quality of
goods and services can so sharp
ly deteriorate. Soundness must
be re-established in them.
