and $2 billion on new roads.
Whether manufacturers will hike

All this means that business and

will depend largely upon the atti
tude of its leading businessmen.
If they will be optimistic and
spend more on new plants, adver

should have nothing to fear.
My father used to tell me, “It is
okay, Roger, for you to make fore
casts . . . but never put dates on
] them!” I forecast that the Dow-
i Jones Industrial Average will
j register lower sometime during
j 1963 ami stocks will show an av-
Jeiage yield of about 4' . Either
; divid r tfs must be increased or
i prices oi .'tucks must go lower.
] Both cannot continue forever so
] poorly adjusted.
i Tho niiovc comment ref.-rs pjd-
j mainly t" industrial stocks. I fore-
' cast that Ix'h the gross and net
I earnings of . ility stocks will ad-
] vance during 1463 and for some
years thereafter. The utility cum
ulative pi'eferreds have reached a
point whereby they will closely
follow interest rates as determin
ed by the Federal Reserve Banks.
The utility common stocks should
slowly rise in price provided they
are not unjustly limited by legis
lation or by state and federal reg-

ulatory commissions.
As for the railroad stocks, I
generally feel bearish. A war with
Cuba or a world nuclear war
breaking out anywhere could
cause the stocks of all our trans
continental railroads to go up
sharply in price; but down they
would come again. We are today in
an electronic age and no longer
in a railroad age. Those who desire
to invest in common stocks, should
stick to the oils, chemicals, and
electj'onics. Even then keep in
mind Newton’s Law of Action and
Reaction which will always deter
mine the time to buy and sell
•. ommon stocks.
Regarding bonds I am not pessi
mistic for 1963. Certainly, the non-
taxable bonds will sell higher dur
ing 1963. Also, good short-term
| corporation and government bonds
i will be safest to hold. Long-term
! corporation and government bonds
may s. :1 for loss sometime during
1963. Long-term bond rricos vary
with interest rates anti the prob
ability of inflation.
Bl II.DINT; cX real estate
There may be some decline in
; esitie111ia 1 building in RJiid; and
shopping centers in many aulnii'
ban developments may remain at
a standstill for a whiie. Howevei',
so much money is piling up in sav
ings hanks which must he invest- i
ed, it seems that by 146)4 many
more new homes will he built. In
this connection, when purchasing :
a house or business property, be !
sure to study the land, which us- j
ually imp oves in price while the j
value of the building declines.
When constructing new frame
houses, build either single homes
or houses with only two apart
ments on the ground floor. There
will he considerable new building
of brick apartment houses, which
should keep filled so long as they
are well maintained. Old apart
ments and old houses will decline
in price during 1963.
The less attractive outlook for
home building generally does not
apply to government or public
buildings, or to all commercial
buildings. The real estate devel
opers, however, must spend more
on advertising in 1963 to meet
the growing competition.
RETAIL TRADE
Naturally, there will be a sea
sonal letdown in retail trade after
Christmas ar^ the markdowns
which follow January 1. That will
be the time to look for oargains.
Scan the advertisements well. This
especially applies to merchandise
that depends more or less on style,
such as dresses, coats, hats, and
shoes. Buy good-quality items that
can be passed down to the young-
er children. Over all, I expect
1963 to see a somewhat higher
level of retail trade than has pre
vailed in 1962.
Purchases made at real mark-
downs could be good cause for op
ening a new charge account. But
be very careful to build up a name
for good credit. You can arrange
to pay some in 30 days, some in
60 days, and some at 90 days; but
be sure to pay a little before your
account is due. Good credit at a
good retail store will help you and
your husband (or wife) when you
may need this credit later to buy
real estate or start a business of
your own.
CUBAN OUTLOOK
I forecast that the Cuban prob
lem will not be settled in 1963. It
may extend until after the 1964
presidential elections. The Rus
sians have removed their missile
installations and bombers from
j Cuba, in accordance with Pres-i-
| dent Kennedy’s demands. In re- 1
turn, Mr. Khruschev will undoubt
edly want some concession in Ber
lin, or in Turkey which now
bottles up Russia in the winter
due to Turkey’s control of the
Dardanelles.
Khruschev must placate his
people at home by improving
rather than reducing their stand
ard of living. I saw this very
clearly when I was in Moscow. He !
helped Castro only so that he
would have something to trade
with the United States, either in
connection with Berlin or with
our bases which we now have in
Europe. Khruschev expected to
later withdraw from Cuba when he
first decided to help Castro. He
knew Russia could continue to use
Cuba as a base for Russian sub
marines. Now both Khruschev and
Castro are looking to save face
at home.
Some think the Cuban fracas
will make President Kennedy much
tougher with labor here in the
United States, but I disagree. La
bor leaders may be more reason
able in their demands, but they
will continue to have friends at
the White House.
LABOR AND THE
PROFIT MARGIN
Readers should realize that the
steel workers can reopen their
wage contract after May 1, 1963.
The settlement of this contract
will 'iv vary likely to i r. f hit-nco oth-
c iat or dFputes, depending large-
iv on inte11,at ion;;! .'oiitiit iojx.
I feel that our country is be
ta ming “immune” to eri.-e-. Pe-
lieving that Die eohi war will con
tinue for years to eonit . 1 here,
however, will he no nuclear war
within our generation; and no in
ternational war of any kind in
1 4* >3.
Labor should begin to realize in
1463 that wages finally depend
upon the employer’s margin of
profit. The year 1962 has seen
many employers close down be
cause of their slight margin. Small
businessmen—hot it manufacturers
and retailers—must have a larger
margin of profit in order to exist.
There are too many mergers into
bigger units and too many failures
of worthy employers. Labor lead
ers are largely responsible for this
unfortunate development and are
slowly pricing themselves out of
business. Sooner or later this can
result in much unemployment. A
tax cut will not solve this difficul
ty.
COMMODITY PRICES
Nineteen - sixty - three will see
many basic commodities sell for
lower prices. Despite domestic pro
duction cutbacks for many raw ma
terials, world supplies will con
tinue their uptrend. These sur
pluses in world markets will place
additional downward pressure on
commodity prices in the U. S.
There will he exceptions in hybrid
coni, Idaho seed potatoes, and
other selected crops. Much depends
upon the weather and the ability
to hold ovei surpluses.
Prices of peaches, apples, citrus
and other fruits depend principal
ly upon the weather. Improve
ments in canning, freezing, and
storage have been greatly advanc
ed, while the big supermarkets
have been beneficial in stabilizing
prices. The hope of the fruit grow-
