Are Stocks Too High? Babson Criticizei Penimiiti I WANTO rain ar L M. M H both rem 8At Medium sire trlb andrWNTSHrp Apf and clover need. New 9 fl. . By Roger Btbton Babson Park, Mass., July 6. (Special Correspondence.) Cer tain well known Investment c o u n s e llors have for some months been very bearish. They believe that stock are too high nd that it is a mistake to invest money in stocks at the present time. I assume that they also mean that those having stocks should immediately sell them. Of course if these men stick long enough to their bearish attitude, they will eventually prove them selves to be "right"; but this may take some years. In the meantime, while they have con stantly been bearish, stocks have -constantly gone further up in price. Deflation To Follow Is Belief Of Many I also find men of experience who believe that after the war our country will be headed for deflation rather' than inflation They look for lower commodity rjrices. reduced wages, lower rents and other features of a de- flationary movement. Here again these pessimists will some time be rewarded if they stick to it long enough: but I believe they are absolutely wrong so far as concerns the immediate postwar period of perhaps some years duration. Of course, there will be peri odic breaks in the present bull market. A "Communistic scare" may occur at any time. When the professional stock operators in New York have sold out their holdings they always dig up some pessimistic news to try to i i, . i i-... i j UlCdll tUB JlldlltCb 111 U1UC1 tu again pick up cheap stocks. On the other hand, I believe that any such breaks in the market would be temporary. It now looks as if the present bull mar ket may run two or three years more. Conditions Differ From World War No. I Both the pessimists and the optimists refer to World War I nd what followed World War I as evidence for their present forecasts. The pessimists point to the big break which occurred in the early 20 s; while the optim ists refer to the continuous bull - market which existed from 1923 to 1929 when the Dow-Jones Average went up from 86 to 386. I Insist that we are living in an absolutely different world than existed in the latter years of World War I. Certainly this country ia in an entirely differ ent position with absolutely dif ferent conditions existing. Both the pessimists and optim- '.

SNYDER Box 501, Ashland, Oregon Ists should agree to this if they have any sense of proportions. In fact, the pessimists can com pare our present huge national debt today with the comparative ly small national debt existing in 1919. On the other hand, the optimists can prove that follow ing World War II the United States will be the strongest, rich est and most productive nation in the world. Furthermore, our country, for some years, will be free from competition from Ger many, Japan and other previous competitors. Monetary Situation Secure For Years Mind you, I am not talking about what will happen after, say, 1950. Some day the whole world must pay for the sins of the past decade. Only a spiritual awakening can prevent it. Then there again will be unemploy ment, business failures and real estate readjustments. Russia, China and certain other couiv tries with cheap labor will then take world markets away from us. The English-speaking coun tries njay then be threatened with a semi-Communism of some kind. Between now and when such a time comes, however, expect to see much higher stock prices. With nearly $30,000,000, 000 in pockets and cash drawers, with only a very limited supply ol securities to purchase, stock prices must sell higher. It is true that the Dow-Jones Industrial Average which was 42 in 1932 now stands at around 168; but remember that it went up to 386 in 1929 and could as well sell again at that former high. Before selling any indus trial-inflation-proof stocks, take time to compare their present prices with the highs of 1929. This is very important when combined with a study of how prices compare on a "times earn ings basis. WANTUl Combine, herveetinr Harvestor. Ph. Ashland 8084.
