Profits are excessively high. And the poor consumer is the battered victim. This line of thinking has taken hold of a lot of Americans as they try to deal with inflation. Almost his stretches everyone monthly budget until it breaks and there must be somebody to blame. Who better than all those rich, big businessmen? Lemuel R. Boulware, retired businessman and author, sought to explore this topic on a recent Manion Forum radio broadcast. His theme was The Social Responsibility - of Business: Boulware pointed out something that most people seem to forget: that business is socially useful and beneficial in its primary function of trying to please customers at an adequate profit. People seem to think that this profit averages between 28 and 45. Actually, says Boulware, profit averages only about 4 cents out of the sales dollar, and only about half of that gets to stockholders in dividends to pay for the use and the risk of their savings. The other half usually has to be used in the business to help keep it competitive. the Taking recently published annual statement of General Electric as an example, Boulware showed that each sales dollar left for inside purposes after paying the outside expenses was divided at General 37 cents to Electric, for and employees pay 2 cents to benefits, stockholders in dividends, and 2 cents used in the business to make up for inadequate depreciation allowed by law and to pay for improvements required to keep competitive. But observes people, are Boulware, demanding that business should be involved in helping the in many ways: community contributing to charitable projects, aiding ghetto providing redemption, persuasion, training and unearned pay to reluctant or backward workers, helping to improve the quality of life, and so on. The trouble is, people have overestimated the Where business. is profits of the for these money extracurricular activities to' come from? People as citizens, says Boulware, demand that business get involved. But people as customers must realize that costs for these projects must add to the costs of the products of the businesses involved. back to the Going General Electric annual so-call- ed statement, Boulware observed employees that 18 times the total of that which was received received by the stockholders who made the sales and jobs possible. He quoted Dr. Paul W. ' McCracken, former Chairman of the Council of as Economic Advisers, saying that compensation of employees accounts for about 88 percent of not domestic product in the corporate sector. Dont forget employee fringe benefits either. Said Boulware: When you buy a General Motors car, you pay more for just the companys employee health insurance benefits than you do for all . customers.

This was shown recently when a group of Indians in Europe. Whether it had any effect on the outcome of the race is doubtful. But it certainly should have had one. Maine requested the federal government to establish yet another reservation for them as the surest way of preserving their identity, culture and way of life. No Soviet Domination It was during Debate Number Two on October 6 that the President shocked everyone with: . . . there is no Soviet domina- tion of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford Administration. Referring by It pleased God to create the name to Poland and a few other different races and segregate them countries, he added: Each of these countries is independent, in different areas of the world. it has its own terriautonomous, Those who reject this divine torial integrity . . . .

Devout, of Eastern European ethnic thinking people declare it to be groups in Washington, he reDIVINE CONCEPT ungodly. Christians have the example of Jesus, while He was on earth as a mortal. He lived in a crossroads of the world where there were different races and nationalities, but He resided among those with whom He identified. He observed their customs and chose all 12 of His disciples from among His own people. Here is the lesson in this: In the differences God created, He desired to continue even though races had attained greater mobility and had migrated in humbers from their original areas. And His parable about the Good Samaritan was His example of, and desire for, and proper love, assistance brotherhood between the different groups, but not integration. HELP-N- OT ADULTERATE We love our neighbors as ourselves in our race relations when we have high regard for all humanity with their identities, qualities and cultures; when we work together and help others, but it was never intended that Gods Children should conglomerate and adulterate. Can it be that sinister forces deliberately stir up racial tension and turmoil to divert attention; thus making it the aim to put all earths people under an atheistic one-wor- ld government? 91576 It is not difficult to meet expenses these days.

Hogwash! His statement in the second debate was abundantly clear, and he clarified it still further when Max Frankel of the New York Times immediately pressed him about it. The full reversal came out as follows: . . . the countries of Eastern Europe are, of course, dominated by the Soviet Union. Were it not for the presence of more than thirty Russian divisions there now, the countries of Eastern Europe would have long achieved their freedom." A Glimpse of Communism An immediate result of the Presidents boner was a widespread but hazy reawakening of Americans to the real nature of Soviet Communism. For the first time in many years, we were reminded that the Soviet Union is the worlds largest slavemaster. But we were only given a tiny glimpse of Communism in action, and then well-publiciz- ed I counted dollars while God counted Crosses, I counted gains while He counted losses.

Why were there no questions from Carter or the press about Americas massive aid to the Soviet Union, and to the Kremlins henchmen in the captive nations? Soviet divisions are stationed in Poland, Hungary, East Germany, and elsewhere. If the United States never will concede their domination by the Soviet Union (Gerald Ford, October 7, 1976), why are we bankrolling the construction of the huge Kama River truck factory in the U.S.S.R.? Have oc- cupation troops ceased using trucks? Cant truck factories also produce tanks? Doesnt our aid help subjugate Poland, Hungary, and other nations? Each year, more and more U.S. aid programs are employed to finance projects in Soviet Russia, even while Communist indebtedness to the U.S. soars. Credits and trade with are totally indefensible. Yet Jimmy Carter let this crucial issue go unmentioned, and so did the patsies of the press. Obviously, the maintaining and building of Soviet power is a slave-maste- non-issu- 71 rs e. The campaign for the Presidency was a disgraceful joke.. But the people of Eastern Europe arent laughing. The loudest guffaws must surely have been heard in the Kremlin.
