and a lower middle class might be anticipated. Formerly sucli lines 

 were blurred and numbers were too few. A similar cleavage may 

 occur in the lower class with the appearence of an upper lower and a 

 lower class. We have empirical data and sociological theory with 

 which to assess and perhaps even to predict these changes. The 

 difficult question to handle is the effect of these shifts in the economy 

 on the Conservatives. An increase in subsistence is seldom enough 

 by itself to accelerate acculturation. It seems most likely that 

 until the dominant Conservative value system can be harmonized 

 with a tliriving economy and all that it entails we cannot predict an 

 early disappearence of the Conservatives.
