L m u By GLAteENC® X BROWN Member of Congress’, Seventh Ohio Oiirtricfc GEDtAEVUitS, OHIO, m m m s* m *m HaiHIIHiHM m m ? »l'll»i'l»‘w tlMii««»e»'' That 1941 will he * year as filled with dramatic happenings a* hasbeen 1940. seems certain, Of course, no o«& know* what the future folds* but while realizing th a t pre&ietifm are al~ ways dangerous, this column makes the following New Year’s Day fore­ cast: F irst: That if the war in Europe continues the United States will be­ come involved and in th e conflict not later thaii mid-summer. This predict tion does not necessarily mean that the United States, will send hugs armies to Europe;.but it does^jpean that in all probability* if the present trend continues* our-Navy. and Aii* Force will he actually participating in the tvar. ' 5 * Second; That there is a possibility, even a strong one, that a negotiated peace may come in Europe during the first few weeks Of the New- Year, (That is the; reason fo r the phrase «if the war continues” being.used in paragraph one). There is much more under-coVer talk of negotiated peace going oh just now than a t any other time since hostiltiies began; The more certain a long drawn-out war and eventual stalemate appears* the more likelihood there is for the working out of some sort'of peace. >,» Third; That if war Continues thfe- Congress will agree to some Adminis­ tration plan to give increased aid to Great Britain and to finance future' British war needs. In this connection, it is also predicted that the Adminis­ tration will find some way to furnish needed ships to Great Britain for the transportation of munitions ^food sup­ plies, etc. There is also a likelihood that American' naval vessels will be used to convoy ships carrying sup­ plies to Great Britain. Such develope- . ments* while being “aid short of war" will probably bring our involvement in the Conflict. I t must be remember­ ed that under, ouch conditions Ger­ m a n y may bSiieVfi irhe'ce8!TatYfn'lSt8¥c sinking American ships—and that would mean war for the United States. Fourth: That approximately twelve billion dollars—or, an average of a bil­ lion dollars petf month—of American money will he spent for national de­ fense and war purposes in 1941. Of this amount somewhere around four billion dollars will go into war needs for Great Britain—for the Adminis­ tration will .find a way to finance British war orders. Continuation of tho National Defense Program is ex­ pected to bring about expenditures of approximately eight billion dollars during the coming twelve months. Fifth: That most of the defense ex­ penditures mentioned in 'th e above paragraph will be taken care of thru national borrowing. Taxes will bo materially increased to raise an ad­ ditional one billion to two billion ,dol­ lars in revenue annually in an attempt to balance the so-called domestic or normal government budget. The sky ■will be the limit as far as the national debt is concerned. . Sixth: That an inflationary trend will develop, with the Administration resorting to price control in an en- . deavor to hold down prices and pre­ vent inflation, S uccjss or failure will depend much upon the method used; but price control bylaw or by govern­ mental edict can btj looked for-sbefore 1941 is over. Seventh; That the National Defense Program Will be given priority in ob­ taining heeded war materials, with the result that some industries will suffer and be unable to continue peace-time production schedules. Eighth*. That the National Defense Program will materially increase em­ ployment during 1941, with five or six million additional jobs going to the American workers. Strikes and labor troubles will increase as a result of the activities of radicals and short sighted labor leaders. The public will have but little sympathy with labor disturbances^ that seem to he .un­ reasonable, or that endanger tho pro of National Defense, and before 4h* year is out saner, and sounder leadership of the labor movement will result. , Ninth*. That those engaged in agri­ culture will be benefited hut little as a result of the huge defense and war ‘expenditures. While-Seine betterment in the agricultural picture may come froth increased domestic purchases, as a result of greater employment and higher wages In industrial centers the loss of foreign markets will tend to hold down farm prices. The things the farm must buy will increase in price. Farm labor will become scarce hnd more tostly. Most farmers will find themselves injured rather than « TRANSFER AUTHORIZED 'Elmer Cttstenborder, as administra­ tor of the estate of Ruth Custenford- er, was authorized |jy probate court to. transfer real estate- Mary E.

Myers, 66-yearroId Lima minister, who was elected to his four- term in the Ohio House.of Rep- resentatiyes, plans T;o_ reside-in~hi* own automobile trailer during legisla­ tive session. In the capital for a Republican cau­ cus the Rev. Mr. Myers parked his trailer in a lot near the state Capitol and presented an example of what he believes to be the true meaning of Republican economy in the Myers manner. The Rev. Mr. Myers pastor of a United Rrethereiy Church in Lima fo r seven years , and"who still occu­ pies the pulpit, says his trailer con­ tains all the comforts found in most modern homes. The trailer's lone*sac­ rifice to convenience is lack of a bath­ tub. The minister’s decision to reside in the trailer was prompted when he and his wife rented their permanent home while on a trip. Returning, they found their tenants desirous of continuing residence in the house. They then de­ cided to continue living in the trailer* Longest Session Of Congress C|i Record \ * -------- 1 ’ -* Besides being the lowest on record: —366 days—the current session of Co..gress--will haye-ajtother-distinc- tion. - Senate and House Naders plan to; let the session continue,, until noon, Friday* Jan. 8, thus ,permitting the 79th Congress to expire automatically without the usual concurrent adjourn-; ment resolution. * This has happened only once before; in the 152 year*’ existence of Con-, greet.
