i party has
an excellent chance of winning
in 1956 with President Eisen-
hower making a few key
speeches and promising to be
an active part of the Adminis-
tration. He is trained to take
responsibility and enjoys it;
but the President should be
relieved of speech making, en-
tertaining, and much of the
detail work which goes with
being President
3. Competition will be very
severe in 1966, and with few
xeeptions will cause business
profits to be less in 1956 than
in 1966. Too many manufac-
turers, not satisfied with their
present good business, are
starting to make other pro-
duets and undercut standard
prices.
4. Higher wages may abo
be expected in 1966, and these
could reduce profits. These
higher wages, however, will
largely be spent and should In-
crease retail sales.

Business and Financial Forecast
For 1956
By ROGER W. BABSON
o. increased advertising it>- ana loose win myo oeen noia-
propriatioBs will be seen in ing real estate for speculative
1956, In fact, advertising atv- profita might do well to ceasid-
1956. In fact, advertising ap-
propriations for newspapers,
magazines, television, radio,
and billboards have helped our
prosperity, or it would
cave lasted through 1966.
6. The recent policy of the
money managers in the direc-
tion of “squeexe” will be shift-
ed to “ease” sometime in 1956.
This reversal could put a floor
under any business decline
that may start next year.
7. Liberal credits to the pur-
ehaaers of houses, automobiles,
washing machines, televisions,
and various other things have
bolstered prosperity and will
continue to be a strong support
to many industries, through
1956 at least.
8. If the Republicans are
re-elected in 1956, great
will continue to be spent
on research and new plant ex-
pansion. The effect eould
well be another “turn up" in
the Babsonchart Index of Busi-
ness.
9. Despite the decline in
family formations, the baby
boom will roll merrily on
through 1966. The reason:
More parents are willing to
have four, five, and even more
youngsters. The result: A tre-
mendous. sustained demand
for ait kinds of necessities,—
housing, food, clothing, new
Wh10OlAlftold, I look for 1966
to be toe second best business
year in history—just a shade
off from 1955. Predicted de-
clines in the key auto and resi-
dential building industries will
largely be offset by rising ex-
cies showing a tendency to
rise, owners at the newer and
more costly apartment build-
ings will find their profit mar-
gins squeezed harder in 1956
than at any time in recent
an
17. Commercial terms need
net suffer during 1966. Increas-
ed efficiency and new machin-
ery should offset price de-
clines.
18. Owners of snail scatter-
ed farms will suffer durin
1966. They have not the vol
one or capital to cut their
costs to Offset the reduced
prices for their crops.
19. Farmers within ton or
fifteen miles of a city can "beat
the game” by selling out at the
increased prices which their
land will bring for subdivi-
sions. Many mure well-locat-
ed close-in farms will become
subdivisions during 1956.
20. Taken all in ail, the real
estate situation should average
only moderately below the
good level of 1966. However,
activity promises to be less
and those who have! been hold-

New York.—Business, rear-
ing the end of its biggest year
in history, laid plans • last
week for an even more sensa-
tional performance in 1956.
As production of consumer
goods held to a breathtaking
pace and Christmas spending
in the nation's stores smashed
all records, businessmen were
aiming at new peaks of
achievement in the years to
come.
Christmas Party
States, but
develop into
the guide
greatest
for diplo
pendifures for roads, sewers,
‘ by increased
demand for electricity, natural
and schools—and i
gas, and foods.
11. T%e^i^andfcap to
retail business in 1956 wul be
intensification of the parking
nuisance, but this is getting so
terrible that a revolutionary
solution may be in sight. Shop-
ping centers are a partial
remedy and will help suburban
property. But only 15% of
toe people will live in the sub-
urbs in 1966.
12. Cities will condemn old
buildings and provide thou-
sands at parking lots in 1966.
As this is dene, city property
will again come back. Until
then we see no price improve-
ment during 1966 in city busi-
ness property.
18. Building costs will aver-
age higher through at least
the first half of 1956. This
means that fewer new homes
may be built next year.
14. With demand fall-
ing and money more expensive,
speculative builders of new
homes will have to watch then-
step more closely in 1956 than
in any year since the ending of
World War H.
16. Duplex dwellings will
probably continue in demand
through the whole of 1956 if
they are well located. The lim-
prefits might do i
er selling.
INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK
AND POLITICS
21. Russia will keep out of
war with as during 1966.
22. There will be one or
more small wars during 1966.
Both sides of too conflicts will
tnr to secure help in the form
of munitions from both Russia
and the United Sta1
none of these will deve!
serious conflicts.
. 23. The "cold war,” now ex-
isting between Russia and the
United States, will continue
through 1966.
24. The hydrogen bomb and
uided missile will be the
international factors
diplomatic trading during
1956. This trading will hold
down the price of big-city
Pr»CI^he Republicans will
turn slightly "New Deslbh”
during 1956 and this will bring
a lively and heated Presiden-
tial campaign.
26. Democrats are uncertain
as to what their policy will be
hi 1956. Stevenson is a liberal;
but more conservative than
many Democrats. Kefauver ap-
peals to the maanss, while Har-
dman leans to the left How-
ever. some “dark horse” may
run off with the Democratic
nomination.
27. Borne taxes will be re-
duced during 1956. These cuts
will try to favor all voters
slightly; but the largest bene-
fits will go to low-income
groups.
28. The farm problem—con-
cerning higher price parities—
will ibe the center of most po-
litical fight*.
29. The i
increase only slightly
1956. We, however, mast not
forget what weather can do to
production, prices, and even to
tile stock market.
30. Ail the above me
that there is now in sight no
reason for further inflation
during 1966. Certainly, 1 look
for no runaway price climb.
OUTLOOK FOR
COMMODITIES
31. I am net a crop expert,
but my associates’ forecast for
1956 is m follows: (1) Fur-
ther acreage reductions that
will be largely offset by soar-
ing yields resulting from in-
tensified cultivation; (2) ex-
pended farm subsidies that
will mildly bolster crop prices
and farm income compared
with the 1965 averages.
32. Although wheat and
corn prices depend upon both
shifting weather and foreign
conditions, for 1966 I forecast
moderately highly prices for
the major grains, based on in-
creased subsidies, to be voted
by Congress.
33. Industrial prices will
enter the new year on a high
plateau and should be well
maintained to possibly firmer
