    How Bankers of State Picture 1949 Outlook

    Chairmen of the various group* of the Pennsylvania Bankers Association were asked by The Inquirer to state briefly the outlook for 1949 in their sections of the State. Their views

    j ings are used up it seems reasonable to assume this attitude will increase.

    Savings deposits have leveled off during IMS and in some instances declined during the year. It would seem that this trend might continue unless there is a break i s the price structure.

    Continued caution on the part of business with the result that there has as yet been no serious over-extension of credit or build-ing of excessive inventory. Our nation is currently witnessing

    the belated arrival of a buyers' mar-ket in many lines. This return of competition is eminently desirable in a free economy and the best guar-antee against a return of wartime government controls.

    I t seems probable that the strata Ob industries processing taw mate-rials and natural resources will Be furtherveduced m 1949. Lumber end petroleum are already in more plen tlful to continue short and rationed. Oen erally speaking, 1949 should witness a better balance between supplv and demand and a return of many out-of-line prices, such as foodstuffs, closer to the average.

    A brilliant new Industry—tele-vision—has gained major stature during the past year. A laboratory plaything in 1946, television set* are now installed in nearly a million homes. With the lion's share of pro-duction centering in or around

    1949 will be a bumper year for the j Philadelphia, this infant Industry U. S. fanner. ' promises to takt up any slack in

    general economic upset" in 1949. Packard Motor Car Co. should shat-ter the production record of 109,518 cars which it set in 1937, declares Oeorge T. Christopher, president.

    Output for 1948 will be slightly less than 100,000 units for the second best production year in the com-pany's 48-year history, he said.

    employment that may develop locally in the year ahead.

    Petroleum refining is another Phil-adelphia industry which is expand-ing as rapidly as cracking equipment can be installed and oil tankers can be constructed. All the major pro-ducers are adding to capacity. Gulf's new $40,000,000 project will center refining and storage facilities on 360 acres leased from the City along the Hog Island waterfront in South-west Philadelphia. Crude petroleum will be shipped from Persia in a fleet of huge tankers, costing $6,000,000 apiece, now under construction on the Sun Shipbuilding ways in Chester.

    gfess passes a tax bill. Financial men declare that busi-

    ness and industry at this time cannot afford to "remain in a stagnant state." To do so. they feel, may well turn the present adjustment period into a serious recession. NEW WAGE INCREASES

    Still other matters that tend to this feeling of uncertainty arc* the I possibility of a fourth round of wage increases; the extent of the aid that, will be required under the European : recovery plan; how far the United States wtU go in helping Europe to] re-erm, and the extent of the arma- i ment program and its effect on the] still short steel supply and on the j labor force.

    Yet, underlying an of these uncer-tainties, The Inquirer round a spirit of optimism regarding the future. One could even say a strong spirit of optimism. Even Charles B. Wilson. president of General Electric Go., was highly optimistic even though he pointed out that "should higher labor and material costs force prices to the point Where consumer buying will re-fuse to absorb the added cost—and we are about at that point now—the answer is likely to be cutbacks and unemployment." SOME GOING AHEAD

    There was a surprisingly large number of industrial firms who told The Inquirer that they were going ahead with their expansion and mod-ernisation programs. Some were in-creasing their expenditures. Phttco Corp., for example, has a 95,000,000 program scheduled for thto year.

    There are some industries and lines that see production at capacity for all thto year, or loafer- But the ma-jority of the firms look for e drop in output, even t hough it may be alight. They see smaller profits thto year, a still further easing of prices and a narrowing of the already slim profit margin. Many of these views atoo are voiced by the Federal Reserve Banks in reporting to The Inquirer on the outlook in their respective sections of the country.

    The retail food Industry, for one, is highly optimistic over the future and going ahead with increased expan-sion and modernisation plans. It is optimistic, even though some com-pany presidents state frankly that price-cutting already has made its appearance and that, if it grows, can have serious consequences not only to the industry but to the farmer as well. FAITH IN PUBUC

    Surprisingly, many executives re-marked that they had faith in the public to do the rleht thing at the right time. Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder, in the article he prepared for this issue, said he had faith that the American public, if told of the true conditions and what must be done, would be ready to "do what needs to be done to pre-serve our present prosperity."

    Perhaps the most outstanding thing in the Secretary's article is his statement that the United States Government has been operating on a "pay-as-you-go" basts and that it would continue to eo slon* In th« same manner—With a balanced budget and a progressive reduction of the public debt. GREENS PROPOSAL

    Still another encouraging factor is the proposal of William Green, presi-dent of the American Federation of Labor, for what he calls "coordinated action." He urges that labor, man-agement and the farmer sit down to-gether and work and plan and sacri-fice to check those factors tending to
