General Mar- shall as greater than Hannibal, Genghis Kahn or Napoleon, but later you have disagreed with some of his actions. Does that make you greater than Marshall or the men you mentioned? | THE ORACLE. STOCK MARKET MYSTERY —_ Market barometer which has usyally an- ticipated the trend in business activity. The. economic greirts ave somewhat amazed at the failute of stock price levels to duplicate. the trend of prices and to fol- low unusual business activity. Despite pre- dictions of industrial’ recession, business and production have proceeded at high levels and corporate profits have risen even faster. In the eight years since the war start- ed, living costs have gone up about 50 per cent, Wwholes#le raw material, prices have nearly doubled, the national income has nearly tripled and corporation profits, af- ter taxes, have more than quadrupled. Ordinarily, one would expect stocks to go up in harmony with the trend, but, as Harold Fleming points out, “The average prite of shares in these earnings has gone up oniy about ‘25 to 40 per cent.” The same writer calls attention to the “astonishingly low values placed on cur- rent earnings by investors ‘and traders, Current share prices,” he says, “are rough- ly about ten times cyrrent per-share earnings. This is the lowest such appraisal since around the bottom of the market in the spring of 1942, at the time of Rataan, when the Allied arms were suffering re- versals all around the globe,” Mr, Fleming points out that in May, 1946, at the top of a four-year bull mar ket, the prices of stocks were slightly over twenty times earnings and in 1929, the price was closer ta thirty times earnings, We call attention to- these facts, not to indicate that anyone showld- invest jr stacks, but to point out that usually some kind of depression follows a stock market break or a\pronounced bear market. This was the sequence in’ 1929, 1920, 1907 and on back. It has not been, the. case in connection with the recént trend of stock market prices, See An economist says that depressiong are the result of mistakes,.Haw about natural causes over which man has no control? , AOE i a. 8 Were we to follow’ the preemptory demand to shut our mouths ang keep them: shut, it would be hard on the grocer, the oratar’s pride, and the dentist's ‘salvation. / , show! ” jhearing on the THE a: POT er Mya week . week ony tomorrow, is ine for bat for the elee- 4.

The Citizen! has ‘heard that campaign- ing for the office of commissioner will be a mild affair this time, but you never can tell what. is going ta happen in the four weeks that lie ahead. Other cam: paigns that may be regalled locally that appeared to. be mild, but they turned aut to be “hot” before the coming of electian day. As readers may recall, we have had many an o¢casion ‘to apply the word “apathy” to campaigns, and then with- out warning, the simmering ‘pot boiled over. “Three hostile newspaners are more to be feared than q thousand bayonets.” —Napolean. NOT ENOUGH JAILS In 4 recent editorial, Chain Store Age said; “The threat of the Atterney-General to jail those who are responsible for the current -high ¢ost .of living. is pot. apt. to if we were ta put in jail everybody who is responsible: for high ‘prices, very few of us would remain at large, for most of us, to.a greater or lesser degree, must share the blame.” ' It may be a logical: human reaction to attack businese for jacking up prices, but it certainly isn’t sensible. No business wants to price its consumérs out of the market. All major business depends not only’ for its; profits but its very existence on mass consumption: That goes forthe manufacturer, the supplier of raw ma- terials, the /niiddleman, everyone else involved in the jab of -get- ting goods to. the: yltimate: consumer. If violations of the anti-trust laws are found,, it is the obvious duty of govern- ment to‘act: ‘Hut it is ‘a safe bet that delib- erate violations are few. and, af mingy im- portance so far as prices of commodities are concerned. No one, in these tinies, ¢an seriqusly interfere with the normal process -of competition and the operation of a supply-and-demand’ market. The price: problem .is infinitely complex, and it cannot be solyed by the simple device of actions at law. Low cost legal help is now available in 51 cities, but Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson is urging that it be extended nationally.
