miss marjorie miller was a toronto visitor on saturday the views of roger w babson great economic expert are always looked upon as the views of a man who has made a real study of a situation his warnings on the great stock market crasn and general business depression were sound even though at the time he gave them there were many who paid scant attention to mem mr babson has een conferring recently with president herbert hoover of the united states and no doubt the whole economic situa tion in the united states has been carefully canvassed more import ant than that however is the fact that mr babson presents a survey of the situation which is decidedly optimistic he states that business definitely has turned the corner although commodity prices may be expected to continue at low levels for some time to come he even goes so far as to predict a labor shortage in the united states before christmas which is a most remark able statement in view of the fact that march records showed that there were approximately goso- 000 unemployed in that country he points out that railway freight loadingalways an importune feeler have at last shown an upward trend and chain store earnings are also increasing wheat rubber and lead mr babson reels cannot go only lower than they are at present the next era of speculation he de clares will be in commodities ra ther than in stocks the observations of mr babson while they are directed more to conditions in the united states are none the less of great interest to the people of canada as this country is decidedly interested in business developments across the line because of their certain reac tion on conditions in this country our own national problem is and has been all the time relatively bet ter than that of the united states today though conditions are still very far from normal a definite improvement is noticeable and if the unemployment situation in the united states is to be solved be fore chrismas as mr babson says it will then that condition is cer tain to be reflected in canada personal mention rev and mrs s s shantz are leaving today for kitchener intend ing to return on saturday mrs jas mccullough
