Swift, president, Swift & Co. protests on recent charges made against that firm, charges made against that firm. "Swift & Co. protests against cer tain unwarranted statements in the report issued by the Federal Trade commission on war profits. In them, they give the public a false impres sion regarding the profits and the conduct of the packing business. "Swift and Company can justify its profits as not only reasonable, but necessary for efficient conduct of the business, to finance large inventories at high prices and to expand facilities at increasing costs. "The report states that the five large packers have a monopoly of the meat industry and manipulate the market without regard to law. This is a serious charge unsupported by facts. Swift and Company, in compe tition with all other packers, has no control, over prices and the policy of the company is to obey the law. "Packers' profits are unjustly aggra vated by the statement that four large packers made a profit of $140,000,000 during the three war years, as against and average annual profit of $19,000, C00 for the three years before the war. This compares a three-year profit with one-year-profit and the $19,000,000 should have been $57,000,000 to make the comparison just."
