being aimply that young men know

Babson Points To Signals
To Watch For Prosperity
Enumerate* Fresh Signs That Indicates Better Times;
Says Commodity Price Trend Is Important;
Recovery In Ideals One Hopeful Sign
BY ROGER W. BABSON,
Copyright 1992, Publisher* Finan
cial Bureau.
Baboon Park. Fla.. March 19.—1 am
juet as optimistic, now about business
as I was pessimistic about it Wore
the crash in 1929. My optimism is
based not on hopes or wishes, but on
facte. Foremost among these facts is
the position of the Babsonchart. This
chart (comprising over fifty subjects
denoting the physical volume of busi
ness activity) now indicates clearly
that the area of depression is more
than half consumed. The Law of Ac
tion and Reaction, as shown by the
Babsonchart, is now working to bring
about gradual improvement. From
1929 to 1932 we had Reaction— decline
From 1912 on we shall have action—
improevemnt—even though the gain
will be gradual.
There are two sets of signals to
watch: First, those that say the track
is being cleared; and second, those
that say the train is coming. Here
are some that man a clearer track.
(1) Debts have been reduced. It was
excess debt that causd the 1929 col
lapse. (2) Expenses have been cut, —
individual, corporation, everything but
government expenses (and those must
come down). (3) Wages and rents are
getting down. Many say that if wages
are reduced there is less buying pow
er. On the contrary, with everything
else reduced lower wages spread em
ployment stimulate circulation of
money and increase total buying pow
er. (4) Idle funds have piled up. The
track is clear for reinvestment and
loans as confidence returns. (5) Com
modities and securities are very low.
(6) The Glass-Steagall -ill and the
other emergency measures are clear
ing up frozen credits, bolstering weak
spots and halting deflation.
Sign* Pointing Toward Betterment.
Instead of walking around in a daze
of self-pity with your hat over your
eyes wake up and take a good look
xit the signals now being flashed.
Watch for the key signals that mean
tangible improvement. First, watch
bonds. At this writing the bond mar
ket has made a gain every day ex
cept one for the past 21 days. Re
member that bonds always procede
business and stocks in an improve
ment from a depression. Second,
watch money circulation statements.
The latest trend is toward decline,
•which at present means return of
hoarded money to the banks, a very
good sign. Later, when hoarding
ceases, an upturn in circulation will
mean better business. Third, watch
bank deposits. Last week there was a
gain in member bank deposits for
the first time in three months. If con
tinued, it is a highly important signal,
‘because it means banks will begin to
.lend. Fourth, watch bank failures.
These have dropped sharply and are
now at the rate of less than one a
day compared with twelve a day two
months ago. a very favorable sign.
Watch industries. Although produc
tion in most lines remains low, there
are signs of impending betterment.
Already some lines are responding.
Cotton textile outpu was fifteen per
cent higher in January, 1932, than in
January, 1931. Daily rate of pig iron
output in February was six per cent
above January. Steel capacity in op
eration is up five per cent since the
first of January. Outlook is for the
spring seasonal peak in steel to be
delayed till April or May. but it will
come. Watch automobile output.
Ford’s plans for huge prduction are
highly important. Shoe production in
February* was estimated larger than

In the interests of public econ
omy* Mayor J. C. Thompson of
j Wilmington, 111., has launched *
movement to abolish his own job.
He has urged the town's citizens
to do away with the office of
mayor and the board of aiders
men and to substitute a commis
sion form of government. He
now receives SBOO a year, which
would dwindle to S6O were ho

inuDiat.
January, which month in turn wax
larger than either December or Jan
uary of the preceding year.
Cosnmodtoy Price Trend Important.
One of the beet signals to watch to
wholesale commodity prices. A sus
tained rally In commodities is always
one of the first convincing proofs of
better business. Evidence accumulates
that commodities are stabilizing pre
paratory to an upward turn. Recent
strength in cotton, copper wheat, and
certain other raw materials is worth
noting. It should be remembered, how
ever, that commodities do not all move
ail together, and while an intermedi
ate upward movement in the general
wholesale price index lies ahead, buy
ers must study individual commodi
ties rather than purchase Indiscrim
inately. The anticipated strengthening
may come Booner than is generally
expected, and because of Its irre
gularity will catch many buyers nap
ping.
There to distinct poesibiity of rising
tendencies in farm products this year.
It would take a price rise of only a
few points to add millions of dollars
to farm purchasing power, and I ex
pect that in 1932 there will be an in
crease in farm purchasing power over
1931. One of the strongest reasons for
this Is the curtailment of acreage this
season. We will see the working out
of the old law of supply and demand.
Low prices curtail output, just as high
prices encourage over-production. Re
duced output in turn will strengthen
farm prices, just as over-production
caused them to fall. Furthermore, the
sharp rise In sterling exchange and
the reduction in the Bank of England
rate suggests that Great Britain is
getting on her feet again. This should
help farm exports and aid an ad
vance in prices.
A leading New York banker once
said that the sureet sign of a coming
business depression was a long wait
in glist at the Country Club. Events
since 1929 have proven him right. How
ever, people’s ideals change with
changes in business. Today, under the
lash of depression, nearly everybody
has come to a commonsense attitude
o nthe fundamentals of sensible liv
ing and right thinking. Out of these
hard times is being born a new spirit
of thrift and industry—something
which the majority had forgotten be
fore the 1929 crash.
This depression is showing that we
must all make sacrifices for the com
mon good. It was a depression in
ideals that started the depression in
business. In the prosperity period,
greed took the place of cooperation;
selfishness overcame fair-dealing; dis
honestly displaced integrity. Now the
attitude is changing. Hard work, hard
thinking, efficiency, and integrity are
coming back into vogue. The surest
signal of business recovery is the re
covery that is already taking place
in our ideate.
General business as measured by the
Babsonchart is now 33 per cent below
ihe normal X-Y line, compared with
31 per cent a month ago, even with
adjustments for usual seasonal move
ments.
