Oil executive argues profits overstated in economy
John E. Swearingen of Standard Oil Co. says public misreads corporate profits and that high profits do not drive enough investment. He cites 1968 profits at 88 billion before taxes, with 24 billion distributed as dividends and 24 billion reinvested, while for productivity 68 billion was spent on new plants and 514 billion on wages. He notes rising wages but a drop in after tax profits and tax revenues in 1970, urging greater profitability to fund investment.
