business prosperity will reach a new peak within four years ac cording to an article appearing in the annalist of sept 24 by elmer c bratt assistant profes sor of economics dr bratt believes that labor disturbances are not a serious threat to increasing business act ivity today as they were some months ago business momentum appears to be great enough at the present time so that outside in fluences such as government in tervention discoveries or wars must be very serious to change the direction of business activity using these reasons as a basis dr bratt maintains that all in all it appears barring outside in fluences more powerful than any to be rationally expected in the near future the prosperity peak is not to be expected in less than a year concert lecture commit tee will
