relief, we have been unable to secure an adjustment of prices up to

The excess profits tax rate,
applicable to any earnings above the prewar base, is now 90% before
post-war credit, which leaves very little profit out of which to pay

however, which we present further below
we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week
ended Nov. 27.
For that week there was an/increase of 16.1%, the aggregate of
clearings for the whole country having amounted to $8,045,929,517 against $6,930,901,307 in the same week in 1942.
Outside of this city there was an increase of
10:5% the bank clearings at this center having recorded a gain of 22.0%.
We group
the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and
from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals
are larger by 21.6%, in the Boston Reserve District by 4.7% and in the Philadelphia

10.1%.

sales billed for the month
amounted to
$63,113,578, an increase
of 3% over last
August, the previous high month.
Employment at Westinghouse is also at an
all-time high of more
than 117,000
people.
Mr. Robertson pointed out
that
approximately
10,000 of
these
employees were added to the
Westinghouse rolls
October 28, when
Westinghouse was assigned by the
Navy to operate
the Naval Ordinance Plant
at Center
Line, near Detroit, Mich.
New orders received
by Westinghouse last month amounted
to $110,888,403 or 29% more than in October
1942.
The company's
of unfilled orders at the
backlog
end of October this
year amounted to
$976,101,040, compared with $889,528,642 at the
same date a
year ago.
"These figures," observed Mr.
Robertson, "certainly show that the
production phase of this
yar is by no means
finished, any more than
is the
fighting.
I think this is
brought home to us sharply as we
prepare to observe the second
anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day.
"We are still 2,000 miles
from Tokyo and 800
miles from Berlin
It's going to take a lot more
production records to give our
troops
all the weapons and equipment
they will need to travel those miles
and
wipe out the treachery of Pearl Harbor."

1943, were $800,232,157 against $683,805,652 in August, 1942, a gain
$116,426,505, or 17.03%. With the ratio of expenses to earnings
remaining the same as in August, 1942, net earnings were accordingly
larger, amounting to $332,944,921 in August, 1943, as against $284,516,331 in August of last year, an increase of $48,428,590, or 17.02%.
The ratio of expenses to earnings was 58.39% in August of this
year, as already mentioned, the same ratio as it was in August of
last year.
