C, Thursday, March 26, 1953 Number 13 BABSON DISCUSSES WAR, NOW THAT STALIN IS DEAD By ROGER W. BABSON Washington, D. C., March 26.— For the last two years I have defi nitely stated that there would be no War II so long as Stalin lived. This is a fact fronu^which much printed evidence exists. Nbw that Stalin is dead, I have my “fingers crossed.’* Watch The British Malenkov does not want war. He will try to follow Stalin’s policy of “tiring them out.” Stalin hoped he could drain us of men and money until w e suffered from a depression. He, however, d i d not understand the American peo ple, who are in no mood to compro mise with Russian imperialism. On the other 1 hand, England is ■> prepared to c o m- E«f«f W.

Hence, Churchill could be a great factor in bringing the Korean war to an end. There fore, I still believe that 1953 will see a Korean truce unless one of the satellites kicks over the apple cart. Watch The Satellites Another factor is that the Rus sian Army Chiefs do not want war.

They further know this would result in their death or ban ishment to Siberia. This, however, is not true of the satellites— Poland, Czechoslovakia and China. Although these nations are now “under the thumb” of Rus sia with their people cowed by fear of the Russian police, yet 90 per cent are for feedom from Russian control. Their people are very pa triotic and their stooge leaders are praying for some w'ay to get free without themselves being shot, hanged or sent to Siberia. World War III Would Free The Satellites If World War III should come about, Russia would hesitate to arm the people of Poland and Czecho slovakia for fear these satellite armies would join with us and our Allies. Whatever the Communist leaders in these countries might wish, 90 per cent of the people would want an Allied victory. Every one of their Communist leaders might like to be another Tito. Furthermore, the United States and her Allies would have no objection to this provided we are asurred they will never double- cross us. Probably both Eden and Tito have been discussing this in London. President Eisenhower does not deny any people a Communistic economic system of their own choosing; but he will insist on hon est dealings and noninterference with other nations. Stock Market Indications In short, while we syrely want peace; and Russia probably wants peace, the satellite nations would like to see Russia and the United States come to blows.—Hence, the big question today is: “Will one of these satellite nations do something to start werld War* III?” The re- cent action of the stock markets in* dicates this is a possibility. All of the above make me hesi tant to make any War III forecasts at this time. I will, however, guess that Mr. Stalin’s death will result in better business for 1953 than most of us at the beginning of the year anticipated. If I were today writing my 1953 forecast I would be mare huMish. I granted. 2. Postpone the licensing age for drivers to 18 years, with possibly a probationary license issued at 16 years to permit taking and comple tion of formal training. 3. Require a minimum number of driving hours or miles under quali fied supervision before being eligi ble for a license. 4. ^flake mandatory specially de signed examinations for youthful drivers applying for their licenses, including a road test and a psycho- physica Rest. 5. Make mandatory a post-license exami’naiton for all found to be neg ligent in an accident. “The parents themselves must realize their responsibility when they allow their teen-agers to drive, and must begin at home in meeting recklessness with disciplinary ac tion,” concluded Johnson. He was speaking for the Ilnstitute, a body of safety engineers, law enforcement of ficials and civic agencies in New England. Driver Education, Driver Control Measures Urged A program to lift the stigma of recSlessness from teen-age drivers is beiag advanced by the Institute for Safer Living alter surveying thexsands of local chiefs of police, newspaper editors and parents. ‘The problem of the youthful driv er wiM be wilh us «s long as there are cars to drive,” says Arthur Joknson, a member of the Institute and vice president for safety engin eering of the American Mutual Lia bility Insurance company, “but in creased help from parents and safety authorities can quickly produce a whole new generation of teen-age drivers whose safety performance on the highway will be satisfactory.” Johnson decries as “negative and unsound” such penalty approaches to the teenage driving psoblem as spec ial identification of their cars and restriction of driving privileges to the daylight h<5urs. “The real answer is a positive and stepped-up program of tested driver education and driver control meas ures geared to help the youthful driver meet the ever-increasing complexity of motor vehicle atrvel.” As a result of its survey, the In stitute offers a five-point policy: 1. Establish, under the supervision of the state motor vehicle* administra tion, a compulsory system of driver education which must be successful ly completed before licenses are IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DONT GET THE NEWS Say— “I SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE’ Thank Yon HOME Canned foods as well as their juices ofer easy short cuts to menus as well as being kind to your food budget.
