Editorial argues that rising personal income and flatting corporate profits reflect a wage driven price squeeze. It notes personal disposal income surged from 511 billion in 1966 to an expected 765 billion in 1972 while corporate profits barely rose. It cites profit per sales dollar dropping from 5.6 to 4 cents and links price increases to wage growth, urging voters to consider whether high profits are harmful or beneficial to employment.
