Peace and| its accompanying joys will become! extremely precious to Americans. Business Affs In the prosper- ity that is developing, human greed will be apparent among both em- ployers and the employees engaged in certain industries. Warning is given that the stars foreshadow perils in which wealth or afflu-| ence will lose significance. United and unselfish patriotic service will be imperative before the horrible world upheaval subsides. The net- work of Nazi intrigue will exten‘dt among workers of many - classs and American optimism may bril about grave conditions, more less revolutionary. aeos b National Issues: Procrastination in dealing with subversive influ- ences in labor unions will cause a serious clash between workers and police in more than one in- dustrial center.
