, A Debt To ro6t

AMERICA has become rich and
,owerful, with high wages and
he best living conditions in the
World, because Of good profits.
When l say America, I mean all
I America. All the people in
his great country owe much to
his system that allows profits to
. made and used. When we ap-
neciate that fact, it is possible
. see the dangers that exist
vhen we do things that limit
Profits or keep them down.
For example, today imitation
las reduced the buying power Of
profits by about 40 per cent from
What they were a few years ago.
On top Of this, profit has been
'educed in m any industries.
Many businesses made smaller
lrofits in 1947 than in 1916.
Quite a few are not making
nough profit to replace worn out
ools and machinery. Others are
orrowing heavily. Those that
orrow do so because they find
hey have to borrow. NV

ems? The machinery wears out.

For example, the railroads can

President Truman, in his re
port on the state Of the nation
said that $50,000.000,000 SHOULD
be invested in business expansion
over the next few years. Thi:
would be fine. However, the fact
remains that money for invest,
ment comes only as a result Of
work and savings. Unless we car
get more profits than are now
customary, we shall still lack fol-

Of investments and lack Of profits
is an invitation to unemployment
and hard times. Let's not be de.
ceived by those who would arouse
us against profits. They would
like to wreck our "profit" system
which has given us the highest
wages and best living conditions
that men ever knew. .

DON'T BLAME PROFITS

A short time ago a survey was
made of the way families are at
tempting to meet current living
costs. Heavy majorities reported
that they were buying only nee
essities, doing without things,
and trying to make food and
clothing go farther. They also
repored, generally spanking, that
it was necessary to spend a
higher proportion of their in
come for food.
This is the inevitable conse-
uuence of an initiation which
has not yet spents its course.
Some groups have managed to
inrease their earnings suffici-
emily to offset price increases.
Some have bettered their posi-
lions. Millions of people, on the
other hand, have been forced to
steadily reduce their purchasing,
and there is no relief in sight.
1t is easy and perhaps natural
to blame business for creating
this problem. From various
quarters, we hear ominous talk
Of the size of industrial profits.
Retail stores have been picketed
by people with angry banners
protesting the going prices of
food, clothing and just about
everything else. Natural or not,
this attitude is based on serious
miscontained by the owners of
the toOls-millions of investors
who have put their savings in
industry-are one of the small
lest items in the cost of doing
business. And surveys of retail
trade, including both the chains
and the Independents, show that
most stores earn profit Of only
one to five or six cents, accord
ing to type of goods sold, out of
each dollar they take in. Ger
tainly, there is no margin there
is no margin there that will per-
NIT price cutting.
Business Of all kinds is as
worried about high prices as
any consumer. 1t nows that mass
production and mass distribution
cannot survive if people cannot
afford to buy. Prices have up
in spite of it's efforts to hold
them down.

Rent increases totaling nearly 6
per cent have been recommended

range from $61 monthly for two
rooms and bath units to $167
monthly for units with four rooms
