Defense Official Sees
Ban on Large Profits
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Dec. SD. c. Ever
est. of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission staff, said today
that mo one should get the idea
that there are exceptional profits
to be made from the unfortunate
situation which compels us to spend
in such gigantic amounts for national
defense"
Excessive profits will not be popu-
lar" he said in a speech prepared
for meeting of the National Fibre
Can and Tube Association. Our
Job is to maintain allegiance to
our country, and I doubt if any
other attitude will be tolerated"
He said the pressure on industry
created by the defense program
may prove a blessing in disguise,
since pressure operation will get
industry out of the slow bell opera
ton of the last IL years.
ut means that American industry
will be put to the test of producing
maximum defense needs, plus the
civilian requirements which are
bound to increase through added
employment" Everest said.
Il think we will find that in
actual performance industry will
demonstrate that is can out-run the
so-called rated capacities as we
have known them"
