The company's principal purpose, Mr. Brown added, would continue to be the making of profits (for 1937: $4,100,909). Observers who have had their eye on Mr. Brown's concern for social responsibilities (TIME, March 21) put Dr. Jessup's appointment down as a well-meaning gesture, waited to see what the practical result...
