The report shows the Ford administration’s policies aimed at a healthy long-range recovery without inflation are working. It notes nominal after-tax corporate profits declined 11.3 percent to 714 billion, but inflation-adjusted profits rose 41.9 percent to 54.9 billion in 1975. Nonfood prices rose moderately, services costs climbed, and the February consumer price index reached 167.1, a 6.4 percent yearly rise, the lowest in a year. Wholesale prices fell 3.8 percent since November as beef prices dropped 59 percent after seasonal adjustment due to higher cattle supplies.
