S. To Sleep, Babson Says. By ROGER W. BABSON Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 26. — Two years ago almost everyone was wor ried about World War III. Newspa pers told of the defense plans being made by the government; magazines printed gory descriptions of the prob able destruction of Americaji cities; while families were buying small “hide-away” farms or building bomb-proof cellars. Today we hear very little talk along these lines, ex cept by. those families who have boys in Korea. General sentiment now is that World War II will not come for ten or twenty years —“so why worry!” Strange to say, this “City of Broth erly Love” is one of the chief centers for producing tfar ma terials. This-gives me an opportunity to get some inside l ft«rtr W. Sabii* information. E x - perts here tell me that the prospects for World War II during the next year or two are greater than ever. They claim that Russia is now put ting us to sleep and may jump upon us at any time. It is hard to believe this because it seems to me that Rus- ' LEGAL SALE Hie State of South Carolina, County of Laurens. In Court of Common Pleas. P. Silas Bailey, William P. Jacobs, Robert M.

C. ; Dated this August 20, 1052. 2-3cw sia would have attacked us during the past six months if she wanted to start World War HI. Experts, how ever, insist that Russia is waiting only to build up a greater supply of atomic bombs and supersonic air planes! They are especially disturbed by the Russian-Chinese conference now being held in Moscow. Obviously, the present Korean sit uation cannot last indefinitely; one side or the other must quit. If we should quit, this would certainly re sult in bringing on more trouble somewhere else; while if the Chi nese should quit, it could result in Russia losing all her Asiatic gains. Therefore, the fear is that Russia, through the Chinese, may issue an ultimatum to the United States giv ing up a certain time limit in which to get out of Korea—“or else.” This could cause a severe break in the stock market and in business. This ultimatum could come directly after elections in November, especially if Eisenhower should be elected. What War Would Mean Of course, Russia may suddenly adopt the “Pearl Harbor” program by dropping atomic bombs on one or more of our large cities without a prior ultimatum. Although we are building a marvelous radar system, yet experts tell me that some Rus sian planes could get through during the first twenty-four hours and kill millions of American people. In eith er case, congress would immediately be called into session, and very strin gent controls would be applied to all kinds of business. Profits would largely be taken away by 90% tax ation; and in thirty days we would be living in a new world. World War III would result in much further deflation of the dollar, its value perhaps falling to 25 cents. Hence, some people believe that the stock market—after the first big drop —would recover and go to greater heights than ever. So long as our country remains immune from dam age, this might be true; but if some of our big cities were bombed and a few million Americans — including women and children — were killed, the stock exchanges would be closed and panic would reign. Let no reader fool himself that in the next world war he will have an' opportunity to “make money.” What Shall We Do? The above does not mean we should get panicky today. It, never theless, does mean that we should not forget the possibility of World War HI coming at any time. Even an ultimatum by Russia would give our markets a great scare, even though Russia .might try this only as a bluff. If Russia should decide to strike, without notice, a$ did the Japanese, then World War II will have started in all its fury. In view of the above, I appeal to readers to take time to figure out what they would be obliged to do find how they would be affected if World War III should soon come—no gasoline, standing in line for foods, and all our boys gone to war. Think back to what happened to you dur ing World War II, and multiply those inconveniences by several times. If you now live in a large vul nerable city, get a small place in the country before it is too late.
