The stock market will at- ; lract speculators who will have nu- m'xom surprises, for the unexpect- ed will happen in the changing val- ues of securities. The inclination to take visks will spur buying by am- ateurs in the fluctuating markets. NATIONAL ISSUES: Food ra- tioning will cause widespread dis- cussion as the season’s crop dis- posals are announced or investi- gated. Government efforts to pre- vent waste will be redoubled. Na- tional generosity in providing meals criticized as- the outlook for Au- tumn supplies for civilians reveals hazards more alarming than those of early wartime.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Before the second world war excess of race conscousness was forecast. The stars which have warned of inter- nal dangers threatening the nation are read as indicating intense feel- ing regarding the return of Japan- ese men and women to all the priv- llleges of American life. Loyalties cannot.be definitely analyzed and according to matural laws many in- nocent invariably suffer with the guilty. The seers foresee perils for the white race in the far off future as well as in the present. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Economic difficulties are prognos- ticated for Eire. De Valera is to suffer loss of popularity and power next year if not before the end of 1943. Diplomatic ‘questions are to vex Britain as wvictory ds visioned and United Nations’ progress is im- peded by meutral restrictions im- posed by what was once part of the empire. The rise of a new leader in Eire is prognosticated and a period of great development will follow the/ war.
