Economist Provides New Slant on Profits ClO's most recent economic report, prepared by Robert R.

N'alhan, stresses again the view of many labor leaders that business profits are a sort of pie to be divided among various claimants. Listening to these leadei'3, yon get idea they believe the pie really was stolen from somebody's kitchen window. And that only by handing most of it over to workers can management atone for its sins. Now no one with any honesty or of fair play will condone management which tries lo gouge Hie public through high prices and at the same time denies to workers their proper share of product ion. But it's time we got away from superficial, short-run definitions of profits.

Peter F. Drucker, an economist, outlines in Fortune Magazine a broader view that is worth examining as a novel contribution. Here's his notion of profits: First of all, an economic enterprise, like any other institution in society, must seek its own survival. It must do thv; not for itself alone but for the society it serves. enterprise's performance" tells whether or not it will survive.

Cost, broadly defined, and increased productivity are the tests of economic performance. Profit, or "profitability" as Drucker prefers, is the measure of both cost and increased productivity. Tims it i the gauge of economic performance, of ihu ability of an enterprise to stay alive contribute lo society. IJrucker says cost includes the cost of doing business, the future costs of staying in buiness (largely the risks of the unforeseen), a share of the I'm lire losses of unsuccessful enterprises, and a share of society's non-economic burden. This last includes the government and all the various social services like hospitals, schools and chinches.

Obviously all these are by productive enterprises. The successful businesses must capable of bearing this load plus the cost of the many failures. If the surviving enterprises do not cover these costs, the economy will contract and society will suffer. So continues the Drucker argument. As for productivity, any increase adds to profitability of an enterprise.

Hut it may take many wages, lower prices, heavier payments to capital for expansion of output in this or other enterprises. In Dnickpr's view Ihf enterprise that not cover costs as hs defines Uicm at boost productivity is i di'Bjf upon society. By his definition, any business must show profitability to survive. No economy, planned or otherwise, can esuapc the social risks an enterprise must face. Russia, no less than we, iti failures and its mistakes in the timing of new products.

Indeed, Russia may well find some of these risks greater than does free America, Drucker guesses that to offset such risks profits in the Soviet Union may actually be three to five times larger than in American industry. This i.s a refreshing approach when beside the pat notion that a planned economy represents a noble "production for use" in contrast to a free economy's "production for profit." The Drucker outlook makes considerable sense in a realm where fixed ideas have ruled too long. Governor Proposes Fewer State Highways Governor is reported to be advocating pai-iiiff 2,000 miles from tlie state's network of highways and turning Hie roads hack to Hie counties for maintenance. More than 9,700 miles now are in tlie state system and (he mileage seems to have a way of increasing with each state administration, bill never decreasing. seems that the Slate Highway Commission has the power, ami often exercises it, to expand the system, hut only Hie General Assembly can take mileage out of the state system, once it is placed there by the commission, an agency whose members are appointed by the governor.

For many, many years it has been argued by the county judges, and in many instances rightfully so, thai they lack sufficient county road funds to properly maintain their systems of county roads not to mention Ihe cost of providing even low-cost pavements for the more heavily traveled comity roads. It is apparent I hat the state is in Ihe same predicament and that Governor McMath has logic behind him in wanting to get rid of some of the mileage now in the stale system. He argues liiat with the passing of the years some roads are used less and do not justify being part of Ihe slate system, while on the other hand other roads now in the count system have become more important and should be maintained by the slate. The governor's plan would he a good one if it could be completely divorced from the political spoils system. We would not want to see the mileage reduced merely because Ihe people using the road did not vote right in some election, nor would we want to see some area rewarded with new road just because I hey did support the winning candidate in some political race.

Nor would we want lo see Hie loss, or gain of roads in the atate system placed in (he control of a group of political leaders who might hold their power as a club over the heads of, for instance, some county officials, or group of couu- ly officials. ViEWS OF OTHERS Margarine Repeal If the margarine tax repeal bill can be brought, to vote In the Senate al the present session of Congress, there are good reasons lo believe It can be pssscd. ft was passed by the House on April 1. and was reported out by the Senate t-v nance Committee April it will pass by a sale margin If 11 i.s brought up in Ihe Senate.

The agency's commentary is a 10111; 11 ic same line, calling for "punishment for the criminal acts of the Cruiser Amethyst." It goes on to conclude that "the whole course of the Incident profoundly teaches the Chinese people the viciouaness. hypocrisy and 'hamelessness of no matter who they are," "The policy of American Imperialism In China has reaped what it sown British Imperialism likewise reap what it has sown," the agency says.
