Un- Uncle Sam ot 1940 is a much more inquisiti 11 than in any previous decade. The questions to be asked are more numerous and, one or two of them, more intimate by ordinary standards. Yet most of the questions to which objection is being made have been asked before. Back in 1850, | under President Zgchary Taylor, all persons were re- | quired to, give the value of real estate they owned Ten years later ail were compelled to tell the value of their personal property as well Mortgage information has been sought since 1890. ' And questions concerning incomes have been asked for 20 years, but only of farmers in any de- tail. Questions designed to determine the number of blind, insane, paupers, disabled, and the like have been asked frequently since 1830, | By extending still further the scope of the cen- | sus this year, the government will make it still more valuable. The census never has been a mere counting of noses. It provides from decade to decade an evermore complete picture of our popula- tion. From it we can learn our racial makeup, our age structure, our excesses and deficiencies in various occupations. We can learn the movements of popu- lation and the trends in home ownership. We can, with the newer questions, learn a great deal about the national income All this is possible while protecting the infor- mation given confidentially by the individual citi- zen, Even other government departments have never been able to get from the Census Bureau the sta- Until it i deniably divulging of information about individuals.

The configuratibn stimulates aggressive action on the pért wof persous in authority. Sensatignal news will cause apprenhensioir sin families whose members are in”the United States army or navy. Vio- lence on land and sea is presaged for Russia and Germany. Business Affairs: American mer- chants and manufacturers *'will profit normally through thespring which will be favorable to ‘trade and commerce. The seers counsel economy for all, since the waste of foreign wars will affect the fin- ancial structure of every nation, whether neutral or engaged in con- flict National Issues: Agricultural problems will cause bitter contro- versies among lawmakers. Good crops for the coming season are prognosticated, but food will ris in prices as exports increase. Star- vation in China and suffering from malnutrition in Germany will arouse sympathy critical of neu- trality limitations. International Affairs: Secret ne- gotiations among foes will result in sudden moves of amazing sur- prise, inflicting a far-reaching loss of life. There is a sign that warns of grave conflict in which the great number of casualities will work potential revolutionary power for the people who are pawns in the horrible game of wholesale blood- shed. Uprisings in cities and de- sertions from armies controlled by dictators are prognosticated. Persons whose birthdace it is have the augury of a year of advance- ment, They should beware of nerve strain. Accidents in the course of Journeys are presaged for many.
