New Expansion
World Uncertainties
And Tax Outlook
Cited by Wood
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 29.-Gen.
Robert E. Wood, chairman of the
board of Sears, Roebuck 81 Co.,
said yesterday the big mail order
house planned to postpone further
expansion this year because of in
ternational uncertainties and the
outlook for taxes despite % per
cent increase in sales.
Gen. Wood told the company's
annual meeting that while profits
before taxes for February l to April
%, 194l. were 80 pc rcent larger
than for the same period In 1910.
the prospect of new and higher
taxes made it impossible to estimate
capital stock earnings. Net profit
in the three months ended April 80,
1910, was 1854 900, or S135 a cap
ital shareD
Even with stringent taxes, he
said. earnings for the quarter should
be as good and possibly better than
a year ago. Sales in the quarter, he
said, were 29 per cent above the
same quarter in 1910.

Aside from the normal problems

which is likely to bring up consid-

this year is illegal fishing. Despite
the most phenomenal run in a ma
jor portion of the Southeast district
quite a few fishermen were hauled
up for fishing in restricted areas.
Last year some of the fishermen con-
tended violations were the result of
the regulations not being clearly
stated This was admitted by the
fisheries officials in some instances
with promise that effort would be
made to clarity in future regula-
tions. This year, however. the pic
ture has been different. There were
plenty of fish in open waters with

the line, but some of the lads were
nabbed. for the most part, paid d
small fine. Fisheries enforcement Of
ficers contend the small fines have
no effect in lettering offenders and
probably will stress for greater co
operation from the big rank and
file of legal fishermen and packers
in putting the finger ON those who
take unfair advantage by going in
to restricted areas.
