Corporation Profits
43 Pct. Above 1949
lin Second Quarter
By the Associoisd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Ameri-
can corporations are making
money faster than ever before.
but new war taxes may cut back
the 1850 total to we'll below rec
ord size.
A compilation by the Associated
Press of earnings of $50 corpora
tions in virtually every field Of
business shows profits were 43 per
cent higher in the second quar-
ter of 1850 than in the same Pc
riod last year.
The year 1948 stands as the
record breaker for corporate
earnings, and 1949 was only
slightly below. Thus the second
quarter this year is running well
ahead of the 1948 record.
Higher corporate taxes for de-
fense needs plus an excess profits
tax would cut back 1850 earnings
considerably below the 1948 rec
ord. Earnings also would be held
down by rationing and price FIX
! ing.
The 43 per cent jump in sec
ond quarter profits to 81 1,625 ,040,-
257 brought earnings Of these $50
corporations for the first six
months to $2,865, ,306, ,259. That is
gain of "a per cent over the
first six months Of 1949.
There are three points to keep
in mind when looking at the
profits picture:
/. All this money was earned
before the Korean war started.
2. 1t shows remarkable recov-
cry from. the let-down earlier in
the year during period of strikes
and price reductions.
i 3. The profits look bigger by
comparison with the first half Of
1949 when a recession was taking
j hold of the economy.
There are some who believe the
t second quarter may stand as high
Y tide in the profit movement. Even
though many corporations now
are working at top speed as q
result of the war, their increased
sales may not produce higher
profits because of greater taxes
and higher costs.
The 1949 recession ran its course
L in about the first six months Of
. the year. and profits started ex-
panding in the third quarter.
They have been going up ever
. since despite frequent set-backs
. resulting from strikes. price cuts
and termination of postwar build
ing plans.
None of the 26 major groups
of the $50 corporations lost money
in either the second quarter on
first half. and very few of the
corporations were in the red.
The II motor makers showed n
gain of SIS per cent in the second
quarter and As per cent in the
first half as compared with year
ago. They had the highest earn
ings of any group-$540, ,291 ,613-
in the first half.
Groups making the best in
creases in the second quarter from
a year ago include air transport
and aircraft. up 81 per cent; build
ing, up SO per cent; chemicals, up
81 per cent; pulp and paper. up 80
per cent: radio, television and elec-
trical products, up 81 per cent,
and steel and iron, up SO. The
metal fabricating group made a
profit of more than SIS million as
compared with a deficit a year
ago. and the non-ferrous metal
group jumped 281 per cent this
year when compared with a Door
second quarter in 1949.
