Aug. 10 When' Churchill's defeat was an- I nounced by radio, the stock market started to crumble. When, how ever, investors began to realise that It would take years, for Eng land to get Its socialistic plans into action and perhaps then would fall to succeed, these same people be j gan to buy back securities. The market has since returned to norm al. There are several reasons for this. England Sura to Inflata I,have long thought that inflation is Inevitable; In fact it is going on every day. Nothing can stop It except a great spiritual awakening which will cause us to put the good of all before our own selfishness. I. however, now see no sign of this. I Hence, the United States Is head- | ed for higher prices, higher wages, higher rents and higher stock values. The people of the world 1 are ”on the march” demanding In flation. I am more sure of this than ever since the Labor Government of England won by such a large ma jority. This will enable them to take over the Bank of England and issue all the money they need for their socialistic experiments. Whether or not these will be a suc cess, no one now knows. Russia is the test tube, notwithstanding what her friends say. But for the next few years, while the experi ment is being tried, jobs should be plentiful and money should flow like water. Stocks should sell higher,—not only because of their intrtnic merit; but because wise Englishmen will shift from their English stocks to American stocks.* Stocks Not Too Hlflh Compared with panic prices of ten years ago. the stock market now seems high to many conserva tive people. This is because the stock average was only SO in 1932 compared with 110 today. Yet, only as far back as 1937, these same stocks sold at about 130: while in 1929 they sold for 280. With the British Government and the Hank of England backing In flation, some stocks may well again sell at 1929 highs. “What should I buy?" you ask. Well, the safest procedure is to diversify among a wide list, buy ing the leading stocks In 15 or more industries, omitting the rails, air plane manufacturing and shipping stocks. If you pinned me down to three groups I should advise the Merchandizing group, especially the variety chains, the Insurance Group, especially casualty stocks, and well managed Real Estate. These are the groups in which I am investing my own money. Billions Awaiting Investment Fifty-five years ago there were only about one or two billions of "loose change” In pockets and cash drawers It took about £0 years to Preserve Her Y outhf ulness Capture the youth of your child in one of our fine portralte. You'll treaeure It alwaye. and you'll be more than eatlefied with our work. PERSONALITY STUDIO (1 block Nos Poat Office) 25 N Adame Phone 2875 Houre 9 e. m. to 9 p. m. Appointment not neceetery build this up to seven billions. During the past five years this loose change has Jumped from seven billions to twenty-eight bil lions. This means It has quad rupled In five years. During this same five years bank deposits have doubled and are now over 1100,- 000,000,000. This nearly equals the assessed values of every acre of land and every building of every kind In the i entire United States. When one considers that there are no more se curities available for purchase than there were five years ago, It seems as If higher prices for stocks and land are Inevitable. Sooner or lat er this loose change Is going to seek Investment. Churchill’s defeat should hasten the day.

I Yet anyone can buy today good corporation bonds to yield and good stocks to yield more, people should soon get tired of leaving their money idle in thej banks at 1% or at no interest when they can get so much mors from good securities. When the public ; realies this, the demand for good dividend paying stocks should greatly increase. Advice to Young People -nj One thing which I must mention in closing is this: —The British elections will cause most of Europe to follow with socialistic experi ments. The movement will tem porarily cast its shadow on the United States. This means every family should own a little fertile land and every young per son shonld become an expert In some profession, art or trade.
