It's really a simple story: Profits provide the funds to expand business, to create jobs, to keep our economy moving ahead. Critics make much of the total volume of corporate profit. They are quick to point out that 1972's manufacturing profit was $28.6 billion. They tell the world that this is an awful lot of money and so it is. But they neglect to tell the whole story?that this figure represents only 4 per cent on total sales and that this profit margin was the lowest in 20 years. Tl.ey neglect to tell the important fact that only out of profit can come plant expansion and new job opportunities. That only out of profit can come the funds to train the undertrained. That only out of profit can come the research, technology and hardware which will permit solutions to our environmental problems. Today critics of the profit system are calling for control of profits. Yet, at the same time they are asking business to make great commitments to help save the cities and in other areas of social responsibility.
