It would be foolish to put a
definite figure on what the Bab-
sonchart Index will show in 1941,
but I should not be surprised if it
averages 125. Estimating the
country’s income for 1940 at $74,-
000.000,000, I forecast a rise to
well above $80,000,000,000 for
1941. The 1939 figure was $70,-
000,000,000. The greatest national
income to date was in 1929, when
it was $82,885,000,000. This calls
for a reduction in unemployment
of 50 per cent, an increase in
building of 20 per cent, and an in-
crease in retail trade of 5-7 per
cent. This means that sales of
hpysical volume of merchandise
will, show moderate gains, as re-
tail prices will average only
slightly higher than they were last
year. This is a very healthy sign.
War or Peace Business Will
Be Better
I believe that we would have a
prosperous 1941 irrespective of
our defense program. The big
business backlog, the great short-
age of houses, and the unpreced-
ented supply of idle funds arg
bound to lead to a return of good
times. When we add to this fact
the tremendous effect of the de-
fense pi
gering.

The third of a series of serial
stories, each of an entirely dif-
ferent type to the others, begins
in this issue of The News. The
present offering bears the title,
— “Her Highness” and is by the
noted author John A. Morosa.
This policy of The News gives
its readers an average of six full-
esized books of top notch fiction
each year, books that would or-
dinarily cost $1.50 each. This fea-
ture alone gives a return of nine
times the cost of the paper with
all the other features of the paper
added.
The story beginning today is
one of the best published thus far
and will no doubt attract much
interest among the readers of The
News. . • ’

Home Building Will Continue
During World Whr I, the build-
ing of homes was restricted. Con-
tractors were not allowed the nec-
essary cement, bricks, lumber and
nails for building homes. World
War II, however, is an entirely
different war. The building of a
hundred-thousand-dollar ai '
does not take much materiax,
rather labor, skill, and time. It
is true that we must enter a ship-
building program—-both of naval
vessels and merchant ships—but
otherwise,'there is nothing to in-
terfere with home building. I,
therefore, forecast that residence
construction in 1941 will show an
increase of nearly 20 per cent
over 1940.
Presumably, it will cost a little
more to build a home in 1941 than
it has in the past few years; but
there is a reasonable available
supply of building materials. Be-
sides, masons, carpenters, plum-
bers. and painters are primarily
interested in their year’s income

railroad inileage of the world. The
|7'-ysical condition of our rail-
toads hasimproved as money,
which heretofore has been spent
on interest, has been put into
maintenance. Let us not forget
our telephone service which con-
nects 40,000 communities by near-,
ly 100,000,000 miles of wire. All
of these items show tremendous
increase from every point of view.
Whatever may be the truth as to
the nation’s preparedness for war,
it is certainly true that we never
before were so well prepared for
a great industrial expansion.
What About th* Railroads?
As readers know,. I. have never
recommended railroad securities
since I spent two years as Assist-
ant to the Secretary of Labor at
Washington, from 1917-1919, and
fought with leaders of the rail-
road unions. I came back from
there saying that even if any
cream should rise from the rail-

By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Mass., Pec. 31.—A
question to discuss before making
a forecast for 1941 is: “Will World
War II continue throughout the
year?’’ My answer is that it will
surely continue at least until the
fall. For the purposes of my
forecast,‘this is equivalent to the
entire year of 1941.

Our generating capacity is from
