TURNS TO ALLIES
Public in Spain Begins To Get
Its Eyes Open on War.
German Intrigues Exposed by
Socialist Newspaper.

Barcelona, Spain, July Signs are
not wanting in certain section OF the
Spanish press of uneasiness as to what
the verdict of history may be on
SPANS attitude during the war. In
spite of a constant deluge of false in
formation thruout the country by
means of subsidized newspapers and in
spite of the undoubted pro-German
sentiment of the army and a similar
sentiment in other influential quar-
tiers the indications are that events
are slowly bringing home to the aver
age Spaniard a sense of doubt as to
whether his country's interests would
after all not have been better served
by a neutrality frankly friendly to
the allies.
German Intrigues Exposed.
The Vaccinations of the German
espionage system in several instances
have been glaringly exposed. One of
the Madrid daily newspapers altho it
has several times been suppressed by
the military censorship has succeeded
in bringing to light activities by the
German embassy in connection with
the labor troubles in Spain last year,
while within the last few weeks one
Of the chiefs of the Barcelona police
was accused of being in league with

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
profits stated that the five large meat packers have
been proeering and that they have monopoly OF the
market
These conclusions if fair and just matters of serious
concern only to those engaged in the meat packing
business, but to every other citizen of country
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly is unsup
ported by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to
prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business of the largest American indus
tries. Any citizen who would fariliarize himself with
it's details must be prepared for large totals.
The report that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were S140,00O,000 for the three years.
This sum is compared with S19OOOO0O as the average
annual profit for the three years before the making
it appear that the profit S121 100000 greater
than the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with oneyear profit
manfestly unfair method Of comparison. 1t is not
only misleading but the Federal Trade Commission ap
parently has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of S14OO0O00O was
earned sales of over four and half billion dollars It
about three cents each dollar of sales-or
mere fraction Of cent per pound of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthernore-and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the business It had to
be, realize when consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve Quckly-during
these years.
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity Of paying two three oc the for
prices for live Stock has required the of two
three times the ordinary amount of working capital The
additional profit makes only fair return this and

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

has been stated, the larger portion of the profits
earned has been used to finance huge stocks of goods
and to provide additions and improvements made neces
sary by the enormous demands of army and navy
and the Allies
If you business man you will appreciate the sig
nicance of these facts If you unacquanted with
business, talk this matter with business
quantance-with your banker, say-and ask him TO
compare profits Of the packing industry with those Of
any other large industry at the present time.
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions report shows the
large number and importance of other packers
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready
prove to any fair minded person that they in keen
competition with each other, and that they have
power to manipulate prices.
If this not true they would dare to make this
positive statement
Furthermore, government figures show that the five
large packers mentioned the report account for only
about onethird of the meat business of the country
They wish possible interest you in the details
of their business Of how for instance they sell
dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal,
owing to utilization of byproducts and of the wonder
full story of the methods of distribution turnout this
broad land, as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting
this public statement.
They have been able do big job for your
