C, Thursday, June 7, 1951 Number 24 A Regular Chronicle Feature Danger From Russia Will Be In Winter, Babson Says Invest In Education and Get Place In Country, Financier Holds. Babson Park, Mass., June 1-— No one knows whether we will have another World War within the next few years or not. Russia will not start one this summer. Her crops must be gathered and the rivers frozen over first. The Chinese Communists wait ed until the Ko rean rivers froze so that their troops would not be dependent up on bridges. The same policy ap plies to Russia. The critical time will not be this summer but late fall and winter. If Russia does not attack this win ter, it is reasonable to believe we will have some more years of cold war. Real security cannot be ob tained by military force or by mov ing out of larger cities. There are many cases in history where the military force itself has turned against the Government and taken over the country under a dictator of its own. Hence, in building air planes, tanks, and other imple ments of warfare we may be equip ping Revolutionists in our own country. The Inflation Enemy Another possible enemy of se curity is inflation, which the mil itary—instead of preventing—are encouraging. England “won” both World War I and World War II. The same might be said of France and certain other countries. The people of these countries have turned away from economic se curity for temporary military se curity. There in no doubt in my mind but what we would “win” World War HI if it should come; but I am sure we would then lose economic security. Before 1 World War I England was very prosperous with her Colonial possessions and her worldwide holdings of shipping, insurance and other stocks. Today, England is broke. Her people have no eco nomic security. If we enter into World War HI, we might end up in the same way. Your money. Gov ernment Bonds and other invest ments might be worth only 30 cents on the dollar as our country would be burdened with a terrific debt. Therefore, use your influence Tax Receipts Multiply 740 Times In SC for World Peace. Fundamental Security War and threat of war under mines character. From a security standpoint, certain character traits, such as honesty, for instance, are fundamental for prosperous indus try, commerce and investments. Hence, our churches, schools and homes try to instill character as sets into our youth. Security in peacetime depends primarily upon character and the development of the very factors of life which mil itary service tends to destroy. We criticise today the criminal underworld which has been uncov ered by the Kefauver Crime Com mittee. We deplore the exposures which Fulbright’s Committee has shown up in connection with the R.F.C. and other Government agen cies. We hear that Washington is honeycombed with graft and in efficiency. We wonder what the reason may be. If we will turn back the pages of history, we will find that the same conditions fol lowed the Mexican, Civil, Span- ish-American and World War I. The wretched conditions today are due to the breaking down of char acter, caused by World War H. What To lavaci la For security, locate where you are not liable to be bombed. Buy a place in some small agricultural community 80 miles from a vul nerable city. Use this as a summer place and as a protection. Build up bank deposits in medium-sized, safe cities for reinvestment during the next panic. The nation’s bank ing situation as a whole is excel lent and you can safely buy stock in your local bank if it is safe from bombing. Good common stocks of companies safe from bombing should be good investments for the long pull, although they will fluc tuate with general business condi tions. In the case of corporate bonds or preferred stocks, you should buy only “convertibles.” The most important need for se curity is to invest in good health and character — together with a family of well-educated and spir itually-minded children. See that your children are taught not only industry, honesty and law-abid ance, but also a sound religious faith which will stand by them when trouble comes. Further more, train them for some specific line of work, such as the medical engineering and business profes sions, or the essential trades. In other words, invest in education.
