Are the Packers Profiteers?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business
The federal Trado Commission in its recent report on war
profits, stated that the five Jarge meat packers have been
profiteering and that they havo a monopoly of the markot.
These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious
concern not only to thoso engaged in tho meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
Tho figures given on profits are misleading nnd the state
ment that tho packers havo a monopoly is unsupported by
the facts.
Tho packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
Tho meat business is one of the" largest American indus
tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its
details must bo prepared for largo totals.
Tho roport states that the aggregate profits of four largo
packers were $140,000,000 for the three war years.
Tins sum is compared with $19,000,000 as tho average
annual profit for the three years before tho war, making it
appear that tho war profit was $121,000,000 greater than
tho pro-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit a
manifestly unfair "method of comparison. It is not only
misleading, but tho Federal Trado Commission apparently
has mado a mistake in the figures themselves.
Tho oggregato three-year profits of $140,000,000 waB
earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It
means about three cents on each dollar of 6ales or a mere
fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers' profits are a negligible" factor in prices 'of live
stock and meats. No other largo business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore and this is very important only a small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. Tho
balance has been put back into tho businesses. It had to
be, as you realize when you consider tho problems tho
packorshavo had to solvo and solve quickly during theso
war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher costa
and tho necessity of paying two or threo times the former
prices for livo stock, has required the uso of two or three
times tho ordinary amount of working capital. Tho addi

been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned has

ness, talk this matter ovor with Borne business acquaint
ance with your banker, say and ask hira to compare
profits of the packing industry with thoso of any other
large industry at tho present time.
No evidenco is offered by tho Federal Trade Commission
in support of tho statement that tho large packers have a
monopoly. Tho Commission's own report shows tho larga
number and importance of other packers.
The packers, mentioned in tho statement stand ready to
prove to any fair-minded person that they arc in keen
competition with each othor, and that thoy have no power
to manipulate prices.
If this were not true thoy would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-third of 'tho meat business of tho country.

well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They havo been able to do a big job for your government
in its time of need; thoy havo met all war time demands
promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their
caso to tho fairmindedness of the American peoplo with
the facts before them.

Mount Vernon, Va July 4. In IiIh
Independence day address, which the
world will recognize ns an answer to
Von Kuehlmnnn's recent speech In tho
relchstag, President Wilson declared
that the Father of His Country ami
his associates spoke and noted,
not for a class, hut for a people

Referring to the present world strug

only selfish ambitions of their own and
by which none can profit hut them

Text of Address.
Tho toxt of tho president's speech
follows :
"Gentlemen of tho Diplomatic Corps
nnd My Fellow Citizens: I am happy
to draw apart with you to this quiet
plnce of old counsel In order to spealt
a llttlo of the meaning of this day of
our nation's Independence. Tho place
seems very still and remote. It Is ns
sereno nnd untouched by tho hurry of
the world as It was In thoso great days
long ago when General Washington
was hero and hold leisurely conference
with tho men who were to bo associ
ated with him in tha creation of a na
tion. From tha gentlo slopes they
looked out upon the world and saw It
whole, saw It with tho light of tho fu
ture upon it, saw It with modern eyes
that turned nwny from a past which
men of liberated spirits could no longer
enduro, It Is for that reason that wo
cannot feel, even here, In tho Immedi
ate presence of this sacred tomb, Hint
this la a place of death. It was a
place of achievement. A great promise
that was meant for all mankind wnH
here given plan and reality. The as
sociations by which wo are hero sur
rounded aro tho inspiring associations
of thnt noble death which Is only a
glorious consummation. From this
green hlllsldo wo also ought to be able
to see with comprehending eyes tho
world that lies about us und should
conceive anew the purposes that must
set men free.
Planned Universal Freedom.
"It Is significant slgnlllcant of their
own character und purposo nnd of tho
Influences they were setting afoot
that Washington nnd his associates,
llko the barons at Itunnymcdc, spoke
nnd acted, not for a class, but for u
people. It has been left for us to see
to It that It shall be understood that
they spoke and acted, not for a slnglo
people only, but for all mankind. Thoy
were thinking, not of themselves and
of the material Interests which cen
tered In tho llttlo groups of landhold
ers and merchants and men ot affairs
with whom they were accustomed to
act, In Virginia and tho colonics to tho
north and south of her, but of a people
which wished to bo done with classes
and special Interests and the author
ity of men whom thoy had not them
selves chosen to rule over them. They
entertained no prlvato purpose, de
sired no peculiar privilege.
"They were consciously planning
that men of every class should bo freo
and America a placo to which men out
of every nation might resort who
wished to sharo with them tho rights
and privileges of frco men. And wo

that it is our inestimable privllego to

what shall mako not only tho liberties
of America secure but the liberties of
every othor peoplo as well. Wo are
happy In the thought that wo lire per

United States on this anniversary of
our Independence day will bo tho

place from which calmly to look out
upon our task, that we may fortify our
spirits for Its accomplishment. And
this Is the appropriate place from
which to avow, alllco (o tho friends

Hun Rulers Fear Own People.
"This, then, Is our conception ot tho
great struggle In which we are en
gaged. The plot Is written plain upon
every scene and every act of the su
premo tragedy. On the ono hand stnnd
the people of the world not only the
peoples actually engaged, but many
others also who suffer under mastery
but cannot act; peoples of many races
nnd In every part of tho world tho
people of stricken Russia still, among
the rest, though they are for tho mo
ment unorganized and helpless. Op
posed to them, masters of many arm
ies, stand an Isolated, friendless group;
of governments who speak no common
purpose but only selfish ambitions of
their own by which none can proflt
but themselves, and whoso peoples
aro fuel In their hands; governments
which fear their people and yet aro
for tho time their sovereign lords, mak
ing every choice for them anil dispos
ing of their lives and fortunes as thoy
will, as jvoll as of the lives and for
tunes of every peoplo who fall under
their power governments clothed
with the strange trappings and tho
primitive authority of an agu that Is
altogether alien and hostile to our
own. The past ami the present are In
deadly grapple and the peoples-of tho
world are being done to denth between
them.
Settlement Must Be Final.
"There can he hut ono issue. Tho
settlement must be llnal. Thero can
be no compromise. No halfway do
cislon would be tolerable. No half
way decision Is conceivable. These
are the ends for which tho associated
peoples of tho world aro lighting and'
which must be conceded them before
there can he peace: 1. Tho destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and of Its
sluglu choice disturb tho peace of the
World ; or, If It cannot bo presently de
stroyed, at the least Its reduction to
virtual Impotence.
"2. The settlement of every question,
whether of territory, of sovorolgnty, of
economic arrangement, or of political
relationship, upon the basts of tho free
acceptance of that settlement by the
people Immediately concerned, nnd not
upon tho basis of tho material Interest
or ndvnntngo of any other nation or
people which may deslro a different
settlement for the sako of Its own ex
terior Influence or mastery.
"8. Tho consent of all nations to be
governed In their conduct towards
each other by the samo principles of
honor and of respect for tho common
law of civilized society that govern
tho Individual citizens of all modern
states in their relations with one an
other; to tho end that nil promises nnd
covenants may be sacredly observed, no
prlvato plots or conspiracies hatched,
no selfish injuries wrought with Impun
ity, nnd a mutual trust established
upon the hnndsomo foundation of a
mutual respect for right.
"4. The establishment of an organi
zation of peace which shall mako It
certain that tho combined power of
free nations will check overy invasion
of right aud servo to mako peace and
Justice the more secure by affording a
definite tribunal of opinion to which
all must submit und by which ovory
International readjustment that cannot
bo amlcobly agreed upon by tho peo
ples directly concerned shall bo sanc
tioned. U. 8. Can Never Bo Crushed.
"Theso great objects can be put Into
a single sentence. What wo seek la
the reign of law, based upon tho con
sent of tho governed and sustained by
tho organized opinion of mankind.
"Theso great ends cannot be
achieved by debntlng and seeking' to
reconcllo and nccommodato what
statesmen may wish, with their proj
ects for balances of power and of na
tional opportunity. They . can be
reached only by tho determination of
what tho thinking people of the world
deslro with their longing hopo for
Justice and for social freedom nnd op
portunity. "I can funcy that tho air of this
place carries tho accents of such prin
ciples with n prouder kindness. Hero
