BUSINESS FORECASTS

A PLAN IN PROSPECT, Mr. A. R. Harris, general manager? of the Radio Broadcasting Company, was in Wellington last week, and ia the course of conversation gave an in dication of some of the pluns in prospect for future development. Some of these require further investigation bee fore publicity can be given to them, but one feature mentioned will be of interest to business listeners. It is recognised, indicated Mr. Harris, that the soundest business life of a come munity is based upon the diversificae tion of interests, Such diversification 1s in turn built upon knowlcdge of the probable course of markets and events. Sl business decisions are based upon widividval judgment, which in turn can be exercised only in relation to the information available. With this thonght in view, he cousidered it would be of service to secure, if possible, leaders of the business, banke ing and commercial world to periodic ally make available over the air their view of the probable course of markets and events of the succeeding few months. ‘The business atmosphere was rooted, not only in physical facts, but also in the mental attitude to those facts or expectation of them. If the business judgment of men of = the calibre he had 1n mind could be made available in this way to the whole community, it was likely, be thought, that many irrevocable decisions made by men of less experience might be avoided or made to bette: advantage, Some approaches had already been made in this direction, and it was hoped that a successful scheme would be evolved.
