The wise will proceed as’if security could not be undermined | by war conditions. i BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Sharp rises in the prices of many com- modities will greatly increase the lcost of living. Government efforts will lessen the chances of infla- tion, but will be powerless to pre- vent many automatic economic forces from operating. Farmers will profit, as the world more and imore needs food produced in the United States. In the spring Am-~ ericans of all clas: will plant ivegetables in their home gardens. NATIONAL ISSUES: Suspicion of favoritism in the Army and Navy will be widely implanted by {fifth column agents. Commissions won by the sons and various rela- tives of Government officials will cause envy and jealousy even though rank has been earned by hard work. The seers emphasize {the importance of avoiding ecriti- cism of defense regulations.
