WARD WILL NEED

Avery Blames U. S. Profit
Tax for Lack OF Work
ing Capital.
Ey the Associated Press


CHICAGO, April 23-President
Sewell L. Avery of Montgomery Ward
6 Co. told stockholders at their an
nual meeting today the company was
'in very great need of additional
working capital"
This lack of capital Avery said,
is not surprising in the light of the
undistributed profit tax, which is
vlllalnously unsound This will have
TO be changed, and l think it Will be
changed or this Nation will be
changed-seriously
Because Of the Federal tax on un-
distributed profits, Avery asserted, the
company had paid out its 1886 net
profits of s20,l98,914 IN the form of
dividends. Last years dividends on
common stock totaled S4l2 as COM
pared with $2.65 per share IN 1895.
Sales last year totaled 1851 ,297 600,
highest in the companys history,
Avery said. adding
Although the earnings for 1895
would have provided large part of
the increased working capital needed,
1t was necessary, to avoid excessive
surtax penalties, to distribute sub
stantially all of the years earnings in
the form of cash dividends
Avery suggested three possible meth
DDS of raising additional working cap

Duchess of Windsor, falls we'll this
side of the bonfire-burning stage.
The great heart of America may

Of mob demonstrations, society

antics Of local politicians. But in

sour notes.

bassy. Later, possibly, this will
be all fixed up and a happy, cozy
time will be enjoyed by all. Just
at present, however, there's a no.
ticeable tension in the air at the
embassy.
The flippant press conference
remarks OF Secretary Ickes anent
his cool response to the request of
Charles Z. Bedaux--who has full
charge of the Eddie-Wally inya-
sion-for q suggested itinerary of
projects appears to have pitched
the official key. For the time be-

request 60 unanswered for about
a week. BedauX representatives
then put him on the spot by let
ting newspapermen know he had
the cable. IckeS cabled a list OF
PWA and other projects collect
and said to correspondents, among
other things: "He will have to
work out his own itinerary and
handle his own publicity" The
reference was to BedauX, not the
Duke of Windsor.
The times-news., 1937-11-02

The obvious fact is that IclIes

taking it from down the street in
the White HouSe-State Depart
ment region.

later manages to defroSt itself, it's

not yet extended welcoming arms.
Inquiry at c. /. o. and A. F. of
L. reveals that no ducal appoint
mentS have been made with John
Lewis or William Green. Private
ly, labor leaders indicate that they
note a more than faint aroma OF
fascism in the vicinity of the
Duke, that his tour in Germany
does not set so well with them
and that the fact Edward will be
under the wing of BedauX fails to
convince them that his tour will
be a great blessing to labor.

OF THE MAN WHO BEGAN
TOO LATE
tBy BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATION
If there ever was man who seemed
fated TO live out an acute personal tragedy
on q public stage. that man must be the
Duke of Windsor.
His recent speech before the Anglo
American Press Club at Paris merely car
ries his tragedy one stage further and
makes its ironic pOignancy more obvious
In that speech the duke said that he
had no intention of leading an idle life. He
hoped. he said to make some contribution
toward solving the worlds present grave
problems; for that reason he is making his
present tour, studying labor problems in
Germany and housing problems in the
United States.
The tragedy, of course, is the old, hu-
man tragedy of too late For this man
who sets out TO contribute to solution OF
the worlds problems is, after all, that same
confused. harasSed and desperately un-
happy person who stepped down OF his
own free will from the one place where he
might have been able to make such con-
tribution effectively.
First he was Prince of Wales and then
he was King of England; and although the
king of England no longer holds the sub
stance of actual power, he possesses as do
few other human beings a sounding board
from which he can impress his ideas on
the minds of his fellow men. His least
word and his slightest gesture are observed
by millions of people. A man who sought
to help the world solve its problems could
hardly ask for better pulpit.
But as prince, this man was noted chief
" for mis- intimate association with the gay
night club crowd. America fairly crawled
with GIRLS whose proudest boast was that
they had danced with the prince; England
had dozens of anecdotes about his fond
ness for this, that or the other jazz band,
about his parties, about his frequenting OF
the bright-Hght spots in the empires capl-
tai and elsewhere.
And when he became king the world
watched him eagerly-nOt to get klngly
and a significant hint as to the solution OF
its innumerable woes, but to learn which
woman, if any, ne might choose to marry.
He spoke to the world over the air
waves, once, and the world hung on his
words-to discover that the whole thing
was too much for him and that ne was
dropping out.
And now this unluckiest of mortals wants
to make some contribution" toward solv-
ing the worlds problems! Small wonder
that in his confusion he studies labor union
problems in Germany, where there are no
labor unions, and housing programs in
America, where there are no housing pro-
grams.
The man who fights with the best there
is in him and is beaten by circumstances
is not tragic fgure-not really. In this
defeat there can be an everlasting triumph.
The genuine tragedy is that of the man
who is beaten by himself; the man who
does have glimpse of what might be, but
who can't quite bring himself to act on it.
And that is the tragedy of the well-mean-
ing and likable Duke of Windsor.

SEES NO BREATHING SPELL

Most of President Roosevelts program for the
extra session of congress is made up Of proposed
legislation that does not encourage industry, but
rather disturbs it and causes it to be hesitant.
Strong industrial forces are said to be lining up
to beat the wageS-and-hours bill. Comparatively
few men in the business world accept the theory
that a minimum-wage maXimum-hour law will help
the country, especially if the fixing of minimum
wages for industry throughout the nation be placed
in the hands of q small political board as proposed.
Incidentally it is repeatedly stated by those in
close touch with the private opinions of organized
labor leaders that the latter do not relish the idea
of legally fixed minimum wages, because they fear
too much tendency on the part of industry to make
the legay-fxed minimum the maximum. More
over they are represented as being skeptica as to
the potential effect of strikes against wages fixed
by law
The farm legislation desired by Secretary Wal
lace also would be disturbing to industry, because
il is figured that farm bill along the lines he Sug-
gests would cost somebody nearly billion dollars
a year counting subsidies to cotton and corn. De-
spite what the supreme court has had to say on
the subject of processing taxes, Wallace desires
that the new legislation restore that method for
raising the money to finance the crop control pro-
gram 1t is reported that spokesmen for industry
are fully expecting that the farm bill will be costly
from their viewpoint.
The regional planning proposal has great possi-
biities in the way of demoralzng the utility COM
panies.
Government reorganization is the one major
item on the special session agenda that only ndi-
rectly affects industry and that is not distinctly
disturbing.
Thus industry sees little ground for hope for
breathing spell in the extra session.-Charlotte
Observer.
