"Exactly how often," asks another labor official, "have you heard a businessman complain profits are too high?" THIS is not merely a theo-' retical how-high-is-up debate, insists the many businessmen joining in a "profit-squeeze" chorus. What has happened, they say, Is that competition, both here and abroad, has thwarted price increases at the same time labor costs, taxes and other costs have been climbing. This is shown, said -chairman Albert L. Nickerson of Socony Mobil Oil by the way corporate profits have shrunk from 9.2 per cent of national income in 1947 to 5.4 per cent last year.

Its earnings in the booming 1960 first quarter of $112.6 million fell to $32 million In the recession-bottom first quarter last year, recovered to $47.4 million in the final quarter last year and rose again to $55.8 million in this year's first quarter. To businessmen, such figures support the argument for lower Federal and local taxes, greater depreciation allowances and better public support for labor-cost restraints. They argue freeing more money at the top will generate Investment that will in turn generate prosperity. Liberals and labor unions, on the other hand, seek government expansionist policies and improved wages to free more money at the bottom to generate buying power that will in turn generate prosperity.
