ventores and receivables" The result was that corporations as whole added considerably to theT outstanding debt This review also presents break down of corporate profits by quarters This break down brings strkngy the fact that the big advance over 946 occurred in the first half of the year and IS largely attributable to the reconron problems strikes and material shortages experienced sin the first six months of the earlier year. Net income of group of 400 large manufacturing companies, this study shows increased 23O per cent in the first quarter of l947 over the corresponding period in l946, and 57 per cent in the second quarter By the third quarter however the dfferential had fallen to 32 per cent and in the final three months of the it was only 8 per cent
 As the economists of the National City Bank put it. the SIT billions of corporate profits after taxes lis a lot of money" But it represents margin of only 5 cents per dollar the gross business done More over must be considered in the light of the facts that factory wage payments up l06 per cent over ore-war farm income is up 285 per cent. and bank deposits are up nearly 200 per cent

CORPORATE PROFITS"

The statement that corporate profits of l941 were .exorbitant" or "unconsccnabie" has been repeated SO often of that special interest attaches to two articles on this subject which have just appeared
 one is contained in the annual review of current pusl ness of the Department Of Commerce, the other m the Monthly Letter" of the National City Bank oi New York These studies help to bring this subject into reasonable perspective
 Information cn corporate profits for l941, the De- partment of Commerce points out is at present con- fined to reports published for the first three quarters of the year The Departments conclusions are based on the assumption that the fourth quarter will broad lv speakine duplicate the third quarter.
 What are the conclusions? They are u) Corporate nrofits before taxes rose sharply compared With 1o46 t2) The increase reflects to substantial ex- tent recovery from the low levels to which profits had fallen in industries notably the metal lh- dustres) during the reconerson period t5 In stuoy ina te level of profits ill the context Of the general economic situation the data must be interpreted care
 fully In the first place the S29 billions representing profits before taxes) includes $6 billions in higher unit costs of inventories After allowing for this item, corporate profits before taxes in other words were net s2e billions but S23 billions 4) Corporate profits must be considered against the background of the increase in the total value of production. Athough they were higher than in the depression years as a percentage of total originating i'll the prVate sphere corporate profits before taxes corrected TOT inventory profits. not higher than in pre~~ar years of prosperity Corporate profits after taxes were lower than In years Of prewar prosperity because or the heavier incidence of taxation"
 The study by the National City Bank adds one or two points not covered by the Department of Com merce While noting that 1947 was a banner year in terms Of dollar earnings it points out that al though only around half of last years net income was paid out in dividends the balance was more than absorbed by increases in plant and equipment, in-

Talk of a Showdown
Washington Post)


 If is contended that the Soviet by it's actions in Czechoslovakia and Finland has gone from cold to hot war We cannot agree. What has happened in the last few weeks is merely in line With what aS gone before There is no change, except perhaps all increase in the tempo of the Soviet's cold war Tn Prague and in Helsnk the Russians were afraid that tho elections would go against communism They couu not afford to take the risk; they cannot afford the luxIry of tug back of the iron curtain III Oe nresent struggle for the West. The matter Ill our onnion is as simple as that Why should the SoVlee chanep the rules-from cold to hot War-wnen u IS s,ch an advantage and is winning? The blunt lacC is that being a military as well as ponce S'ale' the Soviet Union is always on war Iootihs pu. knows that it's best chances of success lies in pursuit of the coid-war technique.
 The other day correspondent in the adjacent conmn rebuked us for encouraging complacency by venurng to say that the Soviet would SUCK to coo war to the limit of the American patience Nothlile that we have said suggests complacency At thls crucial stage of Soviet success cold war requires as much power and alertness we can muster It cans for the same preparedness shooting war, plus political statesmanshp But, if attention to reaVs is the beginning of wisdom, the need IS to Know one adversary as well to combat him. Ana that oe- oands not ony knowledge of Russia and the HusslaiS ,t Iso common sense and an understanding of the elements of modern strategy
 In this connection, Prof Gilbert Murray, the British philosopher, the other day wrote ol report he saw in the Italian War Office in the early thres which laid down two apsoluCeiy true piiii0iPAeo' was that under modern conditions it is madness TOT any nation to attack antagonist of approxmately equal strength" and the other was that the proper method of safe attack to stir up party strle Tn the victim country till 1t reaches the dimensions of ciVli war and then to intervene. Your victim IS oViueo agains itself and all the devastation would take place outside your territory. The Russians would be 1oos as well as monomaniacs if at this stage or the game they abandoned their pattern of cold conquest Their technique is now in full display in Italy. Here then is the theatre of the immediate snow down It is satisfactory to know that the warning is to be conveyed to the Italian people that vote flor communism would be vote against Marshall Plan benefits for Italy. Italy can be saved by bold electioneering by the United States, coupled with prompt passage of ERP and military unity with the western world If, however Italy goes Communist on Apr l8 Italy's election day then it will be time enough to talk about ultimatum to Moscow Ger tainy we cannot afford to allow the Soviet to score any more success in the cold war.

OIL LOBBY NEEDS DOUGH

More th.n one lobbyist is eager ly watching the row between Cali lornia Congressmen and California State officials over the question of how one phase of the oil lobby is going to be paid.
 When California Congressman heard that California taxpayers were to be nickeds $25000 to pay for a high powered Washington publicity agent, plus the expenses of State Attorney General Fred Hauser, they held protest meet ing. Congressmen Dick Welch of San Francisco and John Phillips of Banning were appointed a com mittee to urge Governor Warren to veto the 5000.
 They phoned him immediately Warren was i'll. Three times since they have tried Up to this writ ing, no luck.
 Meantime Everett Mattoon, Dep uty Attorney General of California, called on Welch in high dither, explained that the money had all ready been spent for the expenses of Californias legal staff to come to Washington. Also $500 a week was promised to Eugene Kelly, Washington ex-newsman, for high powered tidelands7oil publicity
 The money might be necessary, growled Welcn, but which is most important-the money or votes? You better forget about the money"
 He argued that news of the lob bying lund had already caused a lot of damage.
 Mattoon tried to betlieel the state ment Of Senator John Evan, Los Angeles Republican, that the fund would be used to pay luncheon checks of mid Western Congress- men in Washington.
 Any explanation you might have" snapped Welch, "couldn t be made on the floor of the House"
 Worried, Mattoon flew back to Sacramento to try to neutralize the California delegation's attempt ed phone calls to Governor War ren.
