Show Business And Financial Outlook For 1952 By Roger V. 0) Babson Excluding defense orders, the total business volume in 1952 will be less than that for 1951. National Income in However, 1952 will be very hiah, as war orders take the place of peace production. Government Controls The outstanding feature of war 1952 barring will be the Presidential Election on November 4, 1952. I comment further upon this under all-o- istration." If in 1952 it becomes evident that business is declining too much as a result of government curbs, the planners at Washington will rush their patient into an oxygen tent. Labor Outlook labor groups will be Many successful in getting another round of wage increases in 1952 Although there may be more important strikes in the first part of 1952, there should be a decline in work stoppages in the last half year. Tightness in the labor supply will 1952 continue through particularly of highly-skille- d workers. Wages of such workers will be advanced voluntarily in order to hold them. Law will be The Xbui ?nq ;c;6I Suunp pareadai be amended. The Administra tion will continue to wink at some of its clauses. Commodity Prices Will Remain Firm Wholesale prices of many commodities will suffer a mild decline in 1952 when compared with the price level for Decern bex 31, 1951. In some lines the drop may be quite steep from Taft-Hartl- ey the high levels of 1951. Retail hold steady. prices for Commodity speculation for a rise will not pay in 1952. Furthermore, our expanding stock materials piles of strategic present a real price threat in the event of a peace scare. Such stockpile could then act strong ly as a depressant on prices. will operate Wise merchants with only a conservative inven tory. The cost of living will remain high during 1952. This predic tion recognizes that living costs next year may continue above the lower levels that existed during the first half of the year now closing. I also predict fur ther rises in freight and pas sengar rates. Farm Outlook Good Congress will not take any action during 1952 to legally Fair Trade bolster price' maintenance. It's too risky politically when consumers are complaining about the cost of living. But, some manufacturers will tighten up on distributhose who tors, eliminating won't sign Fair Trade contracts. Barring crop failures, the total supply of food available should be larger in 1952 than for 1951, since the government will raise planting quotas as part of its attack on inflation. If the weather is extremely favorable, the government will be asked to give away surplus crops. Local Taxes Will Be Higher The burden of Federal taxes, both corporate and personal, will not be increased again during 1952 above the advance late In 1951. State and Municipal taxes, however, will go higher again. The above forecast Is based on the assumption that unless Stalin starts World War m during the early months of 1952, he has made up his mind to forget World War III until the United States and again "Go to sleep", which may be some years hence.
