PROFITS ZOOM TO RECORD
HEIGHTS In FIRST
NINE MONTHS OF 1850

"Be careful-whether or not you're
in direct war industry-of any indi
cation you are making too much
profit while U. S. soldiers are being
shot"
Such was the sage advice of Ma
TONS Business, official magazine OF
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, on
page ID of their September, 1850,
issue.
Apparently, however, business
isn't needing c of c advice. Profit
reports for the third quarter of
this year-after Korea, remember
show that corporations have
amassed staggering profits. In
many cases they're 100 per cent or
more above year ago.
These gains apply not only to the
third quarter of 1850, but also to
the nine months through Septem-
Der.
What's especially significant is the
way profits have zoomed far more
than sales. For example, a Federal
Trade Commission report shows that,
during the second quarter, sales of
manufacturing corporations rose 10
per cent above the corresponding
period year ago, but profits of these
corporations skyrocketed 60 per cent.
Also, the report on each dollar of
stockholders investment averaged
1876 per cent, compared with 1914
year ago. The profit rate was great
est for the giant corporations, which
averaged 17.2 per cent profit.
For the third quarter and the full
nine months, including the period of
the Korean conflict, the showing is
far more extravaganza and demon
strates graphically how many corpo
rations have grossly profiteered out
of the war. Here are some examples
for the nine months:
General Electric-Sales rose IA
per cent over the similar period last
year, but profits after payment of
all taxes scared 81 per cent to $113

Some corporations failed to report
their aggregate sales for the nine

Outstanding among these were:
Libby Glass Company

Allegheny Ludium Steel-$7,44O,-
600, up 400 per cent.
Atlantic Refining-$27, 800, 900, up
so per cent.
Hercules Powder-$10,579, 900, up
As per cent.
Pacific Mills-$6,186,OO up IT
per cent.
One of the really spectacular
showings was made by the worlds
largest onopoly-American TeIe-
graph & Telephone. 1t rolled up
profits after taxes of 1912, 100000
for the IL months ending Septem-
Der 3O-which, the company admit
ted, was "the greatest in history
and amounted to 5000 for each
share of stock. The increase was
$54 million over the previous year.
Another huge corporation, du Point
de Nemours, was apparently shy
about listing it's total earnings of
S4.67 per share of common stock for
the first nine months, an increase of
so per cent over last year. Sales for
the same period rose % per cent.
Many other companies issued re-
ports only for the third quarter-and
a large number of these showed pro
fit gains of up to 100 per cent, or
more.
Of course, not all corporations did
equally well; some as usual Jagged. !

Dean Acheson TO Speak at
FUGTA Convention

ST. PAUL - Secretary of State
Dean Acheson will make his first
public appearance in the Northwest
on December II to address a gather
ing of Northwest grain farmers at
tending the 1850 annual meeting of
Farmers Union Grain Terminal As
ISOLATION in the st. Paul Municipal
Auditorium. He will share the plat
from with Secretary of Agriculture,
Charles F. Brannan.
NJ. w. Thatcher, general manager
of the Grain Terminal Coop, said
that both men had accepted the invi-
tations extended to them "by the
grain producers of the Northwest. +"
The Secretary of States appearance,
of course will be contingent on
whether matters of state and interna-
tional events will permit him to leave
Washington thirty days from now.
The scheduled talks of Acheson
and Brannan will highlight the three
day meeting of the huge grain coop,
which opens December IL in the st.
Paul auditorium. Approximately g.
900 delegates from Minnesota, Mon

to attend the sessions.

EPT? That's RED!

Do you believe that large .corpo-
rations should contribute towards war
costs through an Excess Profits Tax
(EPT)? Watch out! That's subver-
slve thinking, according to the Sep
TENDER 18th isue of the Wall Street
Journal. Here's what they say:
The very Congress which is pass
ing these anti-Communist laws is
hell-bent to pass an excess-profits
tax SO it can take the profits out of
war. Either it does not know that
that idea has clear MARKHAM (Com-
munlst) base, or it does not care"

Effective since December 14, and continuing through New Years day, holiday greeting messages are available over the Alaska Commun- ications System and Western Un- ion Telegraph Company lines in the United States. Upon filing hol- iday greeting telegrams, patrons should specify the date they wish the message to be delivered If no date is specified, greeting messages will be delivered on the holiday.
 It is desirable, ACS personnel said, that patrons file their holi- day greetings as early as possible, utilizing greeting service, thereby relieving communication circuits as much as possible of expected heavy holiday traffic load, and to insure delivery at the intended time

 About the middle of February, give the plant a rest period. Put it in the basement, or some similar dry spot, and water occasionally just enough to keep the wood from wilting, no more.
 About May. or early June, bring the plant out and cut it back rath- Ter severely and repot it, or plant it outside in the shade of a tree or shrub and water it enough to keep it growing Most people. how ever, prefer to repot it for a house plant.
