PROFITS LINT CALLED ‘INIUST',

~ N. A. M. Says ‘Inequitable’ Curbs ‘Might Cripple Post-War Industry.

: CHICAGO, May 26 (U.:P.).—The National Association of Manufacturers asserted today that “undue concern” over war profiteering might cripple post-war industry. In a report presented at a war production conference sponsored by the N. A. M. and the Illinois Manufacturers association, the N. A. M. denied the unreasonable profits were “typical” in war industries. The report, analyzing war profits, advocated “maximum” excess profits taxation, but said that “any arbitrary limit on profits would be inequitable and impractical.” ‘Folly to Cripple All “Profit margins on gross business have been narrower since 1930 than they were in the preceding decade,” the report said. “Since the tax load will increase much further during the next two years, we may expect a further narrowing of the profit margin. “Instead of being unduly concerned about the possibility of ‘war millionaires’ the government should be thinking of the effect of war business and war taxation on the

soundness of manufacturing com- B

panies and their ability to meet the problems which will arise in the post-war adjustment period. “In striving to control occasional situations of high profits it is folly

to cripple all industry and enter- B

prise on which the country must rely when war is over.”

* Other Conclusions

65-page report: 1. There is no foundation for claims that the manufacturing in-

from civilian production. 2. There is no basis for the claim that manufacturers can afford to pay still higher wages and overtime rates because of excessive profits in the defense period. 3. Any arbitrary limit on profits should be inequitable and imprac- ~ tical if applied at an equal rate to all industries. It should accelerate the trend, observable for 10 years, profits and investment in manufacturing.

Dollar.in Latin America

° NEW YORK, May 26 (U. P.) —Establishment of the United States dollar as a standard of value on a gold basis throughout Latin America was suggested today by D. Stewart Iglehart, president of W, R, Grace & Co. and of the Grace line, as a means of stimulating western hemisphere trade during and after the war. Adoption of a dollar standard along this line, the shipping executive said, “would help to insure the maintenance of a large volume of inter-South American trade after

of shipping space southbound combine to deny our neighbors many

$1,165,869,000

liished on a gold standard basis the

25 in the whole hemisphere would de-

the war, as well as substantial trade between all of Latin America and the United States.” “It is certain,” he added, “that if trade between the United States and Latin America could be estab-

exchange control and export-import permits could be eased and trade

velop much more easily now and after the war. “That action would also make it more difficult in the future for any foreign nation dealing in tokens such as askimarks.” Mr. Iglehart, whose shipping and trading companies have been active Jin ‘South American commerce for ®| nearly 90 years, asserted that the war is creating a great upsurge of trade among the 10 South American nations. He predicted that the volume of their intra-continental commerce would reach $600,000,000 next year, contrasted with almost $200,000,000 in 1939 and with about $410,000,000 in 1918, the previous record ear. “Gratifying though it is,” he said, “the increase of trade among the 00 (South American nations by no means satisfies their need for many manufactured articles which they dé not make. For these they look

things needed for their economic which Washington is conscious and

no doubt seeking to remedy.”
