Gains in Corporate Profits Under Blanket Code May Be Slower Than Has Been Anticipated. BY RAI PH HEN’DERSHOT Umn SpeeUl Flninrlil Wrier
Some people In Wall Street have begun to worn- over the prospect* for industry under President Roosevelt's recovers- program because of his request that selling pricey kept unchanged, even though wages are Increased and hours of labor are shortened. They believe this will result in much smaller corporate earnings than would have been possible had selling prices kept pace with operating costs Th; reasoning would to be fairly accurate, except for one factor. There would be no special point In raising prices if the buying power was not there to sustain them. By building up buying power it should be possible to sell more units, and the increased activity should
go a long way to offset Increased total operating costs. General Motors increased its earnings tremendously in •he second quarter of this year compared with 1932 without any advance in prices. The jump was due to greater sales. Speculators took a little too much for granted, perhaps. when they assumed that because of inflation or inflation prospects industry would benefit from the double leverage on corporr-te profits of greater activity and higher prices# They assumed that because President Roosevelt refused to have anything to do with currency stabilization he was ready to sponsor anything which looked like inflation. a a a Wants to Built Solidly The latest developments in the political-industrial situation indicate that the Chief Executive is looking a little further ahead than indications had led the man in the street to assume. He Ls determined, it

seems, to build solidly, even if somewhat sensationally. He apparently is ra.er for all the people to benefit from such inflation as is authorized or ordered. It is becoming increasingly doubtful, however, whether the new blanket rode i.-. to be a success as it stands Many concerns have agreed voluntarily to get in under the wire, but by far the majority of these are small and of relatively little consequence. Unless a change occurs—rather doubtful that it will—it probably will be necessar- to drop the voluntary feature of the measure. B B B Competition a Factor It probably would lie unfair and inaccurate to say that industry, generally speaking, is not willing and eager to carry out the wishes of the Preside!.-, despite his requests in the way of prices But it is rather dangerous for them to comply, because of the competitive feature. One corporation might sign the rode only to find that its competitors had seen fit to tay on the outside. Thai would mean that they could and probably would undersell it either openly or otherwise. In the event the blanket code is not, adopted voluntarily, however, there is reason to believe that it will become an order instead of a request. And. while the speculator may not find such an order quite to his liking, there is no reason why it should not appeal to investors. Corporate earnings may not increase as sensationally as has been anticipated by some, but such increases as are made should be much more permanent.

Prices of Farm Products Must Be Maintained Through the Harvest Season. BY WALTER LITPMANN
THERE is a radical difference between mobilizing industry for war and mobilizing it to overcome a depression. The supply of an army is a one-way process. The goods produced move to the army and there are consumed or destroyed. Nothing comes back from the army that has to oe bought or used by the producers at home. Therefore, the problem of Manning production for military purposes is relatively simple. You determine how much the army needs and you produce it at any price. This can be kept up as long as the physical materials hold out It is inly when the war stops and you attempt to return to normal that you ippreciate how much you have dislocated industry. The overcoming of a depression is a very different
matter Here the task is not to supply a vast army of extravagant and unproductive consumers but to enable all the different kinds of producers to exchange their goods with each other. They are unable to exchange these goods because the balance of supply and demand has been upset through a fall in prices which hits some producers more than others and overturns all established relations between debtors and creditors, between earnings and fixed costs. BBS IT is much easier, therefore, to step up production to supply an army than it is to reorganize the terms on which goods are exchanged in order to overcome a depression.
Asa matter of fact the task of dealing with a depression is less like mobilizing for war than it is like making peace and demobilizing. The state of mind needed by public men and by the public in order to work cut a reconstruction is not that which they attain when thev are at war.
In the present phase of our domestic reconstruction, it generally is agreed that under speculative in first production has run ahead of the consuming power of the people. There is a gap here which has to be closed if we are to avoid a stoppage due to the piling up of unsold goods. What are the principal measures by which this condition can be dealt with? Clearly, the first and most important thing to do is to make sure that the prices of farm products, which are now at a reasonably profitable level, are maintained through the harvest, so that the farmers will actually obtain the more or less speculative prices now quoted. This requires, on the one hand, a monetary policy which will hold the dollar from rising above its present gold value, and. on the other, a control of planting to prevent the higher prices from stimulating the production of great unsaleable surpluses. B B B npHE next most important task is to create new purchasing power among the industrial workers. A great new demand for exports would provide an important part of that purchasing power, but there is no present prospect that such a demand will soon be felt. In ordinary times our experience has been that new purchasing power at home is best created through investment in capital goods. In buildings, machinery and transportation. No such demand of any consequence has appeared or is as yet in sight. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to supply it by the development of the public works program. It follows that it is most desirable that this program should be moved forward as rapidly as possible.

Any public works program, however. inevitably is limited in scope, is slow in producing effects, and, worst of all, is not self-continuing. Therefore, it is necessary to look forward to the revival of private capital expenditure. That revival will not come, however, until the long-term value of the dollar is reasonably assured. It follows that Just as the farmers need a monetary policy which will prevent the doilar from rising above its present gold value, so industry needs a monetarv poliev which will fix a bottom below which the dollar will not fall. BUB r T'HE thrd. and, to my mmd.comparatively less important measure is that which the blanket code is intended to put into effect. This is the raising of wages to put additional consuming power directly into the hands of employees. The difficulty with the blanket code is that it permits, though, to be sure, it does not encourage, employers to pass on the additional costs in the form of higher prices. Now, if prices of manufactured goods rise as much as wages, you have not added to the consuming power of the community, but you may actually diminish it for all those who, like the farmers, the people on fixed salaries and wages and incomes, must buy at the higher prices. The blanket code can increase real purchasing power only so far as the higher labor costs are absorbed by employers and charged against reserves and profits. To a certain extent this can be done. It can be done by the big corporations and by strong employers. To this extent the blanket code ought to produce some of the benefits intended. But so far as it drives weak employers out of business, and so far as it raises prices as fast as payrolls increase, it will be. I should suppose, either deflationary or futile. The benefits, In other words, will depend upon the discrimination with which it is enforced and upon the firmness with which General Johnson and his staff hold down prices. (Coprrizht. 1933)

STEADY SALES FORCE WHEAT OPTIONS DOWN Serious Crop Conditions in Northwest Ignored by Trade. BY HAROLD E. RAIWTLLE t ntlsd Press Staff CerrssDnndsnt CHICAGO. Julv 28 W heat dropped 2 T . to 4' cents as the Board of Trade opened today in sympathy with the sharp reaction at Winnipeg There was fair support at the start on the continuation of the heat wave in the northwest. but the buying was less ngttres- ; sive than Thursday as manv traders feared Thursday’s upturn had been ’ slightly more rapid than beneficial. Corn dipped l\ to 3\ cents, oats 2’s to 3 cents and rye 4 to 4'j c r nts at the start with provisions down 10 to 30 points. Rain Is Needed A restricting factor in the opening break was the new regulations | voted at a special meeting this morning changing price fluctuations to 5 cents on wheat, rye ind barler, 4 cents on corn and 3 cen's on oats. The weat ner map showed a coni tinuation of the unfavorable weath- > er in the northwest with no rain over the main spring wheat belts and temperatures in excess of 100 degrees on both sides of the international line Winnipeg, however, opened as much as 6 cents lower on the break in sterling which causes* Liverpool to show a \ to N cent decline in American money. Sentiment remained bullish In the belief that conditlors justified the advance. Receipts were 104 cars. Heat Wave Feared Fear that the northwest heat wave might work its way into the corn belt, catching the crop in the tasseling stage. Ls a supporting sacI tor in corn The crop is in a critical ; growth period and urgently needs I rain. Such a development would work severe damage. Receipts were 343 cars. A shortage of oats and barley are j officially announced for sections of Canada and with crop deterioration in the United States the futures of both grains, and cash oats, are very strong. Eastern demand for oats showpd a sudden spurt Thursday. Receipts were 60 cars. Chicago Primary Receipts —July 27 ?™ at 917 000 1 901 000 OMs 299.000 220.000
