Porter Pledges OPA Speedup
At District Bankers Dinner

In his first address since being
named head of the Office of Price
Administration, Paul A. Porter told
1000 bankers and guests last week
that OPA is a going concern with
a faithful and loyal staff that has
done much for America and is going
to do more.
"I have not assumed the job of
a liquidator," he said, as he pledged
every possible effort to speed up
production.
Speaking at the 38th annual ban
quiet of the Washington Chapter.
American Institute of Banking, at
the Mayf1oWer Hotel, Mr.. Porter
declared:
THE record of the last two
and a half years shows that inf1a-
tion can be controlled Most peo-
pie know that existing inf1ationary
pressures are going to be hard to
handle That is the reason why
this is no time for crepe-hanging.
From here on out, it is going to be
tough job. Bankers know that
the least expensive way out of the
danger we face is to make price
control work.
Price Ceilings Defended.
"A look at the profits of various
types of industries completely shat
ters any claim that price ceilings
have made production improbable" ;"
Mr.. Porter continued. Because of
tax adjustments made in 1945, 1914
Is the last year showing complete
profit figures. In 1914, corporation
profits, both before and after taxes,
topped all previous records; before
taxes, s24 O000,O00; after taxes,
$4,000, 900, ,000-more than twice as
high as in 1899.
I'm 1914 industrial profits aver
aged $50 per cent above prewar
levels. Wholesale and retail profits
exceeded those of prewar years. The
average increase for department.
stores was 609 per cent, big and
small business alike sharing in these
increases.
I'm 1916, with excess profits taxes
repealed, it is expected that profits,
after taxes, will be at record
heights" the speaker concluded.
Noted Financiers Present.

Alcoholics Anonymous says there

SOURCE OF HIGHER WAGES

One of the most vital questions
before the American public today
is that of higher wages. Labor feels
the need of a higher wage to main
tain living standards, and industry
contends that to pay this higher
wage, it is necessary to receive a
higher income with which to meet
the rise in wages 1t is a problem
which has the best minds of the
country more or less at sea. 1t is
a question that most of us feel is
too deep for us to answer satisfac-
torily.
A recent article in The Saturday
Evening Post, written by Peter F.
Drucker offers one solution which
whether feasible or not, will be OF
interest to all our readers. A brief
summary of Mr. Drucker's ideas
follow
In order to raise wages, income
for industry must also be raised

The writer states that after bills
for materials, equipment and all
other necessary running expenses
including taxes etc, have been paid
| 90 cents out of each dollar went
to labor. These statistics are from
a national business survey in 1914.
He goes on to state that of the re-
naming cents, over half is not
profit but is put back into the bust
ness for future expansion. The
statement then follows that "Only
three and one-half cents out of each
dollar available in American indus
try and business last year (l944)
went to the owner of the business
as a profit"
Mr.. Drucker maintains there are
only two solutions to the problem.
Industry can charge higher prices
for products or else labor efficiency
must be raised. The first solution
he claims defeats its own purpose
by neutralizing labOr's increased
wages through their loss as con-
Sumers paying higher prices. Then
too. farmers and others whose in
comes have not been raised will be
unable to buy as much as before,
thus the demand for the workers
products will go down, and with
it. unemployment will result.
The authors solution is increased
productivity per man hour. He uses
the raycn industry as an example.
Between 1929 and l94l the prod
uctivity of the rayon worker was
increased four-fold by technology
cal progress. During the same per-
iod rayon prices were cut almost
two-thirdS, leading to a six-fold in
crease in consumption of the pro-
duct. One of the best features of
this increase was that the wages of
those employed in the industry
raised two-thirds and IN spite of
greater labor hour production, Il |
more men were employed at the |
peak of the boom. During this |
period chronological progress in
creased production in similar, /
though in most cases marked scale /
throughout industry. /
With the coming of the war, the
picture changed. OF tWenty-One in
iuStTleS Whlcn tne DepedI lIIlenI> OF
labor publishes details, eleven have
continued increased productivity
through the war; in two industries,
he man-hour output remains the
anne as in pre-war days, but in
he remaining eight industries it
las gone down This does not in
lude new industries nor industries
which retooled for production of
var materials.
Drucker then gives examples more
u less familiar to the general pub
ic where in certain lines. wages
ave gone up steeply and produc- 1
ion has fallen This he attributes I
lot to less efficient industry or la {
,or, but to change in products and /
of production, the use of ;
labor, the strain I'M ,
Ter which both industry and labor {
AVE been working, and the wide
pread use of overtime.
Drucker's hope for the future is
he rapid rise Of industrial eff
iency and productivity and that
his rise may be swift enough dur {
ng the next year or two to catch S
p with the jump in labor costs. I

Shall We Let Them
Storve Is Question
We Must Foce
by Charles d. Rowe

Let them StarVe what do I care.
I'm not going to get along without
all the white bread l want"
One might justly conclude that
is the attitude of those who object
to cooperating with President Tru-
man in his laudable endeavor to ac-
cumulate supply of foods here in
order to avert mass starvation"
abroad. The President has ordered
certain restriction in food products
which will require use of darker
bread and far less WhiSkey and beer
Said the President: Il know the
conscience of the American people
will not permit them to withhold
or stint their cooperation while their
fcllOWmen in other lands suffer and
die"
Fortunately the President is cor
rect in that respect. Despite the
fact that one congressman seemed
to question the need for this food
curtailment the great majority of
the American people viii gladly
comply with the Presidents re-
quest What sort of person would
do otherwise? We here in America
sit down warm and comfortable to
our tables and frequently eat more
from our abundance than is good
for us. At the same time there are
thousandS-yes even millions
going hungry and cold in other
lands. If there is a drop of the
milk of human kindness" in ones
makeup, full and free cooperation /
is the only thing possible. Guant, /
children, innocent /
victims of mans inhumanity, are
reaching out to us to give them a
little from our abundance. OF coure,
Americas response will be gener-
OuS.

Judging from this distance and
what one can read in the news
papers, it would be a wise thing
if Edwin w Pauley would grace
fully retire as a candidate for APP
pointment as undersecretary of the
navy. President Truman has nOmi-
mated him for that position. And
some quite considerable fireworks
have resulted Pauley's appoint
ment must be confirmed by the
senate
In a hearing before the senate
naval committee, Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes produced a memor-
andum dated Sept g. 1914 which
said Pauley had put up to MIN
(Ickes) the rawest proposition that
has ever been made to me" Ickes
testified Pauley told him oilmen
would chip in 100000 in political
contributions if they were assured
the government would not file suit
to obtain title to oil lands off the
coasts. Pauley was democratic ma
tional treasurer at the time. He is
also a California oil man. There
is a contest on between the govern
ment and private interests as to
who is entitled to OH that may be
found in tidelands extending from
the shore out to the three mile
limit.
Pauley denies vehemently that he
ever made such a statement to lex
es. But Ickes charges have been
substantiated by the testimony of
another witness. President Truman
stands back of Pauley and insists
that he is an honest man.
Pauley may be an honest man
and naturally would like confirmax
ton now in view of the charges
he faces. But whether he is hon
est or not, there VIII be a suspicion
in the minds of the public 1t
would be constantly asked, Would
Ickes dare to make such a charge
if it were not true" Better keep
clear of such an entanglenent. We
do not want another Teapot Dome
smelly mess.

ches the cocktails in the nations

HafTerman goes on to say:
We agree that Germany and
Japan should be policed but why

place in the past five months, they
are most capable of caring for

we are really doing a good job

Don't worry too much about the
