Do You Envy Profits?
All the talk about profits and prof-
lteers has put a lot of us on the wrong
track. There has been so much of this
mltlwKting talk during the past dec
ade that some of our youngsters are
beginning to think there is something
Immoral about making a profit at all.
Some of them take It so seriously that
they think the profit system should
be junked in America.
Ob the contrary, I am convinced
that the profit system Is the very
sparkplug of our economy. I have giv
en this subject a lot of study. How
ever, It Isn't very difficult to see that
workers axe In for trouble if they are
employed by a business that doesn't
make a profit. More than this, I think
profits are too small for the good of
workers and the good of the American
public.
First Aid to Labor
Some people seem to think that If
no profits were made at all, the work
en would get more wages. This can
not be. My belief is that the part of
the sales dQllar called profit actually
helps the workers more than It helps
anyone else. More than that, I be
lieve It can be proved that the part of
the sales dollar called profits actually
helps labor more than does the part
of the sales dollar called wages.
Consider an example, Fifty years
ago it required 8 hours' work for one
nan to shape the top of a gasoline
tank for an automobile. -He was paid
leas than $1 for the job, which he did
by hand. Finally, the automobile idea
caught on, and vehicles sold. From
profits, the companies have continu
ally built up better and better plants.
Tools are good and efficient. Working
conditions are always being Improved.
Frdflts have brought all these things.
Profits Fay Off
Nowadays, an auto worker shapes
the top of a gasoline tank in one mln
te, Instead of eight hours. He is hap
py to work in a clean and sanitary
plant He uses modern tools that are
productive and efficient. Most of the
back-breaking labor Is done by elec
tricity or other power. Even after the
est of keeping up the plant and Its
modem tools, the modem auto work
er earns $10 a day Instead of the $1 a
day of fifty years ago.
Was It Wages that enabled the work
er to Increase his pay ten-fold? Just
asking for higher wages didn't'mean
that they were forthcoming. There
was more to It than that. It was prof;
Its that built the Improved plant and
(bought the Improved tools. Had no
hrqflts been made the workers would
sin be working, for $1 a day, or less.
This Is not difficult reasoning, but It
shows what profits are worth to the
Every body Profits
What about the public? If the mod
era automobile like the Ford or Chev
rolet had to be made by hand. It would
cost $60,000 to make at present wages.
Yet, with modem tools such a car is
made and sold for less than $0,000.
'That Is what profits have done for
tthe public. Today it is possible to buy
r automobile for 4 per cent of what
would cost if no profits had been
vafiable for better plants and tools.
This money for modem plants and
efficient tools can come from only two
places: from profits, or from loans.
But the business thans not "ang
frosts cannot borrow for Jong. In re
eJtty, then, this money must come
tfrom profits. Better plants and tools

The Worst Crime
Once a great labor leader wisely
said: "The worst crime against work
ing people Is a company which falls
to operate at a profit." A .survey has
shown that people agree with this, In
principle. Yet, they think profits much
higher than they are today. The sur
vey showed that most people thought
profits to be more than four times
what they actually are. Most people
said that 10 per cent of the sales dol
lar would be about right. The fact is
that last year corporate earnings av
eraged less than 6 per centftpf sales.
Then there are those who are al
ways trying to kill the goose that lays
golden eggs, by calling for more wages
to be paid out of "increased" profits.
Except for taxes, the biggest portion
of last year's profits went for better
plants and tools. If every dollar of the
profit which went to stockholders last
year had been turned over to work
ers, If would have brought, a wage in
crease of only 8.8.per cent.
Cut Down Profits
It is false to assume that industry
could make wages higher and prices
lower by cutting down on profits. That
way, profits would no longer be the
Incentive for healthy competition.
Government would have to step In
and control the whole economy. This
would mean the end of free enterprise
and the high standard of living we
enjoy.
To some people, it may seem like a
good thing to soak the "rich" or lam
bast capital at every opportunity. But
they will stop doing that when they
begin to reallce how much it hurts
the worker. Our workers are depend
ing upon the profits of capital to sup
ply the tools that mean so much to
them and to every consumer. How
ean we have tools and plants, unless
we encourage profits? How can we
have Jobs and prosperity, then, unless
we encourage profits?
Dangers to Workers
-We have gone through a long period
of danger, but we're not out of it com
pletely. The period 1930 to 1940 was
the first decade in our history during
which our stock of tools did not in
crease. We allowed 25 per cent of them
to wear out and didn't replace them.
In 1930, America's stock of tools
amounted to $1,646 per person. By
1940, this was down to $1,302. Tto get
back to the 1930 level at once, we
would have to spend perhaps 76 bil
lion dollars.
Do you see our danger? Modern
man is completely dependent upon
good tools. We cannot afford to elim
inate profits, and do away with the
rewards that come from taking risks.
If we do, the American workers will
have to bear the brunt of a dangerous
mistake. We need more Henry Fords
and Thomas Edlsons. Did they make
profits? Yes, and they built America.
With profits, they made it possible
for millions to enjoy a more
tt America.
