Babson Discusses Fall Outlook
Bf Roger W. Babson
New York, N. Y., Oct. 19
(Special Correspondence) I am
sure that the newspapers have
much more grief than the situa
tion warrants. Naturally, the
thinking people are upset by the
itrike stories, but these strikes
may be more psychological com
tog as a reaction from the war
rather than merely economic.
The plants that I have visited
how good progress toward re
conversion. The voters have

more confidence in their Con

have had for a long time. The
situation looks good.
Thirteen Forecasts Mad
For Post-war Future.
GENERAL BUSINESS: Good
as long as the people's money
holds out which should be for
two or three years. Certainly,
there is nothing to worry about. ,
LABOR DEMANDS: Raises of
from 10 to 15 in basic wages
with possibly a 35-hour week in
certain industries which now
have no over-time pay. Certainly,
retailers should favor this.
EMPLOYMENT: If women re
turn to their homes and those
over 65 cease work and all un
der 18 go back to school, there
need be no unemployment.
AGRICULTURE: 1945 and
1946 should be good years for
farmers; but after this both de
mand for agricultural products
and the prices therefor will de
cline. NEW BUILDING: If prices are
held in line, there should be a
great boom in new building,
especially in the suburban areas.
RETAIL SALES: These will
continue high with a record-

breaking Christmas. The only
detriment will be the lack of
sufficient parking space.
LEGISLATION: Conditions in
Washington are getting better
every day. President Truman
thus far has the confidence of
all groups including the perse
cuted utilities.
COMMODITY PRICES: With
the vast supply of idle capital,
commodities with a few excep
tions will surely rise in price.
This especially applies to manu
factured goods.
HEAL ESTATE: Small farms
and suburban land will sell high
er in 1946; but big farms and
most city property are now sell
ing at top prices.
BONDS. NON-TAXABLES:
These are selling too high. With
the coming cut in Federal taxes,
the demand for such bonds will
surelv fall off.
STOCK MARKETS: Railroad
stocks will decline further, but
many industrials will sell much
higher especially the merchan
dising and chemical stocks.
FOREIGN TRADE: This
should be good for awhile; but
before long competition from
China, Russia and other Euro
pean countries will be very se
vere. Either our labor leaders
must change their attitudes or
we are licked.
WORLD PEACE: The atomic
bomb may really crystalize the
United Nations into a workable
world organization which may
bring peace for 50 years. This
fact aided by the profits which
the U. S. will get from the atomic
energy monopoly may enable
the Federal debt to be paid off.
10,000,000 Unemployed
Thought Possible by 1950
Now let us look ahead to about
1950, or after.
1. Competition from cheap
foreign labor will be pressing us
from the right.
2. Organized domestic labor
will be striking us from the left.
3. A situation will arrive when
people have spent their excess
money, and will again be thrifty.
4. All the above may mean
10,000,000 unemployed around
1950. Will this cause social up
rising? Watch Russia and Eng

either will succeed. Besides, the

L. H. Andrews, director of the
Oregon State Apprenticeship
Council met with Chamber of
Commerce representatives ' and
members of the Central Labor
Committee yesterday in the in
terest of the apprenticeship pro
gram. Winston D. Purvlne, su
pervisor of the state vocational
education program, is accom
panying Andrews on his tour of
the state.
The apprenticeship program Is
to provide on-the-job training in
the skilled crafts for youths. It
is governed by a nine-man board
consisting of three state officials
and three employer representa
tives and three employee repre
sentatives, appointed by the gov
ernor. Each locality has Its own
apprenticeship council. Stanley
Jones is chairman of the Medford
council, Harvey Field and
Charles Adair are employer rep
resentatives, Maynard Bush and
E. H. Thomas represent labor,
and L. A. Mentzer, vocational
coordinator at Medford high
school, is secretary. C. W. Crary
is a member of the state council.
Night School
Because on-the-job training
necessarily has to pass over some
of the finer points In the crafts,
a night school is held at the high
school building twice a week, un
der direction of Mentzer, and is
held through cooperation of the
school district.
Upon completion of appren
ticeship which requires two years
or 4,000 hours of on-the-job train-
MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBTJKIT rTnnt
ing, or more, the apprentice is
given an examination and, if he
passes, receives a certificate
which is honored throughout the
United States and Canada.
Veterans administration has
recognized the apprenticeship
program and gives approval of
student loans when the appren
tice's application has been ap
proved by the state council.
The Tillamook forest fir
caused several Portland mills to
close down 23 years ahead of
time. That is what carelessly
started fires mean in losses to
Oregon.

NATION-WIDE SHOWING OF OREGON AGRICULTURE
To emphasize nationally the importance of our agricul
tural crops, the story is told graphically by The Oregonian
in this advertisement, one in a series on Oregon market
industries. It is appearing in national magazines Time,
Business Week, Editor & Publisher.
Agriculture is a basic, year-round industry in Oregon,
a fact recognized by most of us privileged to live la thl
remarkable region. We take for granted the advantages
of growing conditions here. The Oregonian believes that
such nation-wide advertising as this will focus wida
attention on our agriculture, creating an interest that
will aid industry to grow even greater.
