Price Advances Justified by Baboon Reports
Babson Park Massachusetts August 19 The sharp price advance of stocks and commodities during the past thirty days is justified. Prices reflect real values after over-contraction and deflation and future gains depend on more employment. Increase in purchasing power through higher employment is needed to sustain gains. Economists say 2 to 3 million unemployed and 15 percent temporarily unemployed. if employers add 1 percent of workers monthly, full normal employment in fifteen months could spur genuine prosperity. Farm incomes rose adding about a billion dollars to farmers’ prospective incomes, benefiting about 28 million consumers. Crop prospects are good, and farming areas show improved employment, while industry must hire more workers, even at lower wages, to translate price gains into solid business. Reconstruction must conserve gains and hasten a broad hiring push to lift the economy.
