"L. !.;'' ' v - ' SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. June 23, 1943 Insuring Against Communism Babson Talks to Returning Servicemen By Roger W. Babson Pnrk. Mass,. June 29 flnrresnondence). It is generally agreed that there will be a few years 01 orcutm business In the United States fol lowing the collapse of Japan. Porhnnc certain sections that ho., iromonrfniislv over-expand nA rinrini? the war will have slumps and this applies to cer tain war industries. Prepare For Trouble Anytime After 1950 The great majority of commu nities and industries, however, are headed for real prosperity so long as the people have money to spend. Remember that ...v.- .... hQH nnlv S7 billion in our pockets and cash drawers six years ago we have ii duuuu at the present time which we are holding to spend or invest as soon as a fair opportunity .arrives. How long will it take for our people to spend this money and what will happen afterwards? Most economists are agreed that we should be prepared for trou ble any time after 1950. Ag to what form this trouble takes de pends largely upon the success or failure of the Russian Com munist experiment. If, after 1950 Russia, with the rest of the world suffers from unemploy ment, we have not much to fear. If, however, when we next have 15,000,000 unemployed, walking the streets, Russia and the Com munistic countries should have no unemployment, then we may see a civil war here. Large Cities vs. Small Cities Those returning servicemen who fear this possibility should seriously consider where to lo cate after coming back to this country. They should avoid necessarily returning to their own communities if other com munities offer better opportuni ties and safer conditions. Here again I want every man to de cide the question for himself, but I believe that the small cities are far safer in the long run than the large cities. When starting my statistical business, which is now one of the largest of its kind in the world, I selected Wellcsley, Massachusetts, a town of only about 3,000 people. The question, however, natur ally arises in the minds of ser vicemen "what am I going to do if I go to a small community?" Anticipating tiiis inquiry, I am 'prepared to give the following answers. These arc Industries which are now being success fully carried on in small com munities and which still have a good future. This future is being enhanced by the improved living conditions, with lower costs for rent and food, better transporta tion facilities and lower freight rates, and especially by very much better labor conditions. Metal Industries 1, The sale and repairing of agricultural machinery offers an excellent opportunity for those who have a combined sales and mechanical ability. 2. The sale of automobiles and the operation of garages offers similar opportunities. 3. Electrical household equip ment combined with battery scr vice and the sale and repair of heating and cooking apparatus. 4. The sale and repairing ot furniture, especially in connec tion with upholstery. 5. Printing, book binding and engraving. These industries, even today, are the most success ful in small communities. Food and Drink 1. Ham or bacon curing, and the manufacture of "country" sausages. 2. The baking trade, although communities supporting this should be suburban rather than isolated. 3. Butter, cheese, condensed milk and margarine. 4. Cattle, poultry and dog foods, especially the latter. 5. Soft drinks, cider, vinegar, wines, cocoa and confectionary, Miscellaneous 1. Building materials such as timber, bricks, fire clay, paints and varnishes. 2. The manufacture and dis tribution of brushes,' canvas goods, crates, bags, rope and twine. 3. The tanning and dressing of leather,' also saddlery, harnesses, etc. 4. Fertilizers, disinfecta n t s, glue, etc. 5. Games, toys, and sport requisites. The manufacture of these is especially adaptable in small communities in hardwood sections. CIVILIAN WORKERS NEEDED AT CAMP Seek Travel Time Pay For Loggers Portland, Ore., June 29 (U.R) The Department of Labor has brought suit against the Smith Wood Products, Inc., Coquille, in Federal Judge Claude McCol loch's court asking travel time pay for the company's cutting and rigging crews. The department claims that time traveled in the company's "crummies" to actual logging op erations should be paid for since it is in addition to travel to the camp. ELKS CLUB SUED Los Angeles, June 29 (U.R) Five hundred members of the Santa Monica Elks Club today sought to remove their names from a $256,000 suit holding them responsible for debts in curred when their clubhouse was built 20 years ago.
