(Continued From Page 3) RETAIL TRADE 30 Higher pay scales, the effect of recent increases in total money supplies, bigger social security outlays, and further advances in dispos able Income promise to give very strong support to retail trade during the early nonths of 1968 and for some time beyond. Only minor sha dow is the evident reluctance of consumers to go as heavi ly into debt as in recent years. The purchasing power will be there, and only an op timistic shift in consumer at titudes will be necessary to ring up record sales gains —- maybe 8</i to 10% at least during the first half-year. Later, efforts of the Adminis tration and of the money managers to cool the infla tion through taxes and cut backs in government spend ing may slow the rate of re tail upturn. 31. The trend in recent years has been toward a dwindling margin of U. S. exports over imports. This has come at a bad time for our chronic condition of im balance in our international payments position. Devalua tion of the pound and other currencies has hurt our abili ty to expand exports at a crucial moment . for our bal ance of payments. Greatest hope for us in 1968 is that European nations that have been in a business slump will enjoy recovery. . . making a better market for our prod ucts there. We forecast that our government will discuss, and perhaps implement, ex port subsidies during the year ahead. 32. Current talk of the pos sibility of an even “hotter” summer ahead in our racially imbalanced big cities should be discounted. Preparations already made and in the making should reduce the danger of the firestorms suf fered in 1967. We feel that real advances have been made through the ballot box in major mayoralty elec tions. Another hopeful sign is the rising trend toward res ponsibility for bettering con ditions on the part of busi- jnessmen and the private I sector.
