I forecast that the dollar will not be devalued in 1967,
but the pound will continue shaky.
4 C Certainly, Congress will become more ind more critical
* of the looting going on under cover of the Administra
tion’s War on Poverty. The whole program will be subjected
to tighter supervision.
4*7 As 1967 wears along, the high hopes for more construc-
* tive conservative action by the 90th Congress will give
way to increased doubts as a legislative stalemate develops.
Republicans will have enough strength to stop the most lib-1
eral Administration bills, but not enough to launch a pro-1
gram of their own.
4Q There will be a lot of talk in 1967 about the economy’s
* “still growing.” But I warn readers to examine care
fully the advance in Gross National Product which I am fore-'
casting here. Biggest part of the increase will come from
higher prices and wages.
40 I foresee that a breathing spell in the economy can prove
* helpful. The prolonged prosperity has bred waste, lax
ness and inefficiency. These can be corrected only by a re
turn to fundamentals. Just as the human body requires ade
quate rest in order to enjoy proper health, so too the economy,
and the stock market as well, must undergo periodic resting
phases.
tn As the economy cools off in 1967, readers should beware
* of reassurances that our problems are only temporary
and will soon be followed by a decade of boom conditions.
The promised land may be only across the river, but it is al
ways wise to test the depth of the water before wading in.
That is behind my forecast that 1967 will be a good year for
businessmen and investors to have strong confidence for the
future, hut to proceed with caution and restraint until the un
certainties just ahead have been resolved.
