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

na in order to Hold Hong Kong, to
avoid a complete embargo and to
prevent Russia from getting to the
Mediterranean. 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.

running Europe and destroying one
or more American cities, they know
that Russia would be whipped in
the end. 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

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
