arouse yourselves before it is too
late.
There has been much apprehen-
sion up to now about a serious break
on the wage front and its conse-
quent effect on prices. Courageously
the War Labor Board and the Pres
ident have met this issue squarely
and prevented the break. More than
ever 1t is now necessary that we hold
on the price front. Had the War
Labor Board yielded, we could not
have held the price line. If we do not
hold the price line despite the effort
OF the War Labor Board, we cannot
hold the wage line.
This is the reason for the subsidy
program. Subsidies have been used
for the purpose of stabilizing our
economy for many years. It is
amazing to find many who were and
still are earnest advocates of the
parity and soil conservation sub
sides urging that the subsidy prin-
ciple is wrong. This is not true,
however, Of the majority. Funda-
mentally regardless Of the person to
whom payment is made, all subsidies
that We propose are production sub

which farmers would be paid a
subsidy above the ceiling price for
selling corn for use by professors.
The Governments decision to take
corn for war use has it's counterpart
in what the Food Administrator
has called "set-aside orders" under
which supplies of meat, butter,
canned fruits and vegetables, and
many other food products have been
obtained during the past year or so
for military and lease-lend use.
Livestock Feed DwindIing.
The action reflects a growing tight
supply situation in corn and other
livestock feeds. These products have
been dwindling under the impact of
a record number of livestock.
There has been tendency on the
part of corn farmers to hold the
grain on the farm to meet their own
livestock feeding requirements. They
have been encouraged to follow this
course by the fact they can get a
considerably greater return by feed
ing corn to hogs than by selling the
grain as such. Estimates have been
made by various sources that corn
fed to hogs brings from Is to so
cents buShel more than the ceiling
price on corn.
Affected by this situation are live
stock feeders in the deficit corn
producing areas of the East. They
have been unable to obtain needed
supplies of corn for the same reason
that professors have been unable to
get 1t. Their needs are being met,

1912 Bank Earnings
Reduced by Taxes,
Larger PayroIIs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gross income of American banks
set new high record in 1912, but
increased taxes and payrolls left
them with slightly smaller net
profits than In 1941, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. FDIC)
said.
In its annual analysis of the earn
ings of its 13,347 insured banks, the
Government agency said total cur
rent operating earnings of the banks
increased from $i,730. 900 900 In 194l
to $l,79l ,000,0 in 1912, but cur
rent operating expenses increased
from 81 ,258, 900 900 to $1.290, ,000, ,000
After adjustments for recoveries on
loans and securities and payment
OF income taxes, net profits before
payment of dividends declined from
$455, ,000, 900 in .1941 to SAL ,0O0, 900
in 1912. Dividend payments de-
clined from s238. 100000 to $22s,-
900 900.
The FDIC said the largest in
crease in expenses for banks was
on payrolls. salaries. wages and fees
increased $37,000,000 Next largest
increase was taxes, S23 3,000, 900.
Largest increase on the income
ledger was sl01 900 900 from interest
and dividends on securities, due
mostly to increased investments in
Government securities.

Net profits last year, SAL ,000, 900

exceeded only twice since FDIC was
created. Net profits, before paying
taxes, were higher than any year
except one in the history of FDIC.

Second Big Refinery
Will Close Tomorrow

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 25.-The
American Maize Products Co. said
lack of corn would force it to close
its corn refining plant at Roby, Ind. :,
tomorrow
The Roby unit is the company's
only plant and produces dextrose,
corn sirup, starches, oil and gluten
feed for dairy cattle. 1t has a Ca
pacity of 10000 bushels of corn
daily and employs about 1000 per-
sons, most of whom will be utilized
at least temporarily in maintenance
work.
Theodore Sander, jr, president,
said in a statement prepared for
the annual stockholders meeting
today in Portland, Me, that supplies
of corn have largely disappeared
from the great corn producing areas
of the Middle West" except as they
are held by farmers for stock feed
ing
Our difficulty arises from the
farmers natural unwillingness to
sell us corn at the ceiling price of
SLOT bushel. when a bushel of
corn fed to hogs is worth at least
$l.4o. at the present price of hogs"
Mr.. Sander said.
Unless and until the ceiling price
of corn is co-ordinated with the
prices obtainaole for hogs and other
eating ANIMALS, it is not to be
expected that this industry will be
able to obtain corn to grind"
The shutdown at Roby will be the
second among IL plants which do
most of the corn processing in the
United States.
Corn Products Refining Co. closed
its plant at Pekin, ILL.,, earlier this
week. There were reports in the
industry that more of the corn re-
finers would be, forced to shut down
during the next week or 10 days un-
less corn became available.
