That Would Repay Study,
Says Educator

Professor ]. T. Shotwell made some
suggestions as to present day educa-
tional needs yesterday in response to
DR.. Nicholas Murray Buffers invitation
to members of Columbia University
faculties to exchange views in gen
eral conference. The suggestions WIZ
be published in the next issue of The
Columbia Quarterly

1--WE have no institution IN New YORK
Like that at Hamburg or those in other
German centres to substitute SCIENTIFIC
training for haphazard methods of IN
ternational trade. The great American
corporations maintain their own schools
and send out their own bodies of eX-
porers for raw materials and mar
kets
"The German cartel and the German
banks have made possible a much less
wasteful system, and now Britain. by
way of its Imperial Development
Board, with its recognition of the ma
tional value of scientific research, and
the British Trade Corporation. with
its generous credits for experimental
ton where the new Trade Intelligence
Service recommends, is giving America
an object lesson which New York, Of
all cities, must take to heart"
Industrial sociology, with the in
creasingly cordial relations between
capital and labor, was another field
which would repay study, Professor
Shotwell declared. There was need
also, he thought, of trained men to
keep records of this age. 1t was alb
surd. he said, to attempt to write mod
ern history without clear appreciation
of the dynamic factor" of the age
applied science in control Of nature"
AS proof that no real appreciation of
its Importance existed he pointed to
"the childish miscalculations of the
strength Of Germany in this war. based
upon the statistics of man power"
when Germany's true strength lay in
its development of mechanical equiva-
lents for man power.

companies through the increasing
power of their low-cost competitors"
Excerpts from the commissions state
tnent follow:
again, in the case Of -four milling
it is apparent that while a government
fixed price for wheat and allowance of
maximum margin of profit over cost
on flour have had the virtue of stabil-
zation, nevertheless, the profits result
ing are heavy. Before the government
interfered -four sold in 1917 with an
barrel
."After the fxation Of the price of
wheat and the determination of maxi
mum profit of rs cents barrel on -four
the very high average profit a barrel
dropped toward the maximum. While
this decline in price did not bring
it down to the maximum, that is,
where the millers continued to exceed
the government maximum, as they did
in many instances, many of the millers
were actuated by the hope that they
would be allowed to include income and
excess profit taxes in their costs and
pass these taxes on to the consumer.
However, if there had been fairly
general compliance with the maximum
of 25 cents, the profits of the least eff
ficient mills would have been consider
able and those of the most efficient
mills proportionately heavier. To the
extent that the maximum price was ex-
ceeded the profits were larger, and in
general were in fact very great.
The Coal Situation
"The situation in coal gives still an
other angle to the same problem. Max
imum prices were fixed by territorial
divisions. Many of the coal produc-
ers have not taken the maximum, but,
owing to the fact that in given field
there is a very wide range in the
cost of the coal produced in that field,
ducers have made very large margins
under the system of governmental
fixed prices for the field. Many high
cost producers have made small mar
gins. The bulk of the production, of
course, enjoys the large margin. In
formation on the return of the invest
ment, now being collated, will reveal
the exact amount of profit. Percent
ages of profit worked out on invest
ment will obviously be very large in
the case of low cost companies.
petroleum field shows that the mar
ket, when under the control of domi-
mating factors, such as Standard Oil,
can be one of huge profits without the
device of the high fixed price. No
price for the public has been fixed on
petroleum and its products by the gov
ernment. Unlike the situation in
steel, flour and coal, there has been
as yet no government interference
with the law of supply and demand
except in the instances of government
purchases. Under that law large
profits may eventually be made
through the bidding up of prices by
anxious buyers. And, moreover, even
in the absence of this element, prices
may be forced up by spreading false
and misleading information concern
ing the condition of supply and de-
mand.

Sluift & Co. Deny
Trade Board Charge
OF Profteerine

Swift & Co. gave out in this city last
night the following statement by Louis
F. Swift in reply to charges made yes
terday in the report of the General
Trade Commissions:
"Swift & Co. absolutely deny the
sensational charges again made by the
General Trade Commission, wherein
large packers, is accused of manipu-
lating prices without regard to law and
of unconscionably preying upon the
people by exacting unfair profits. We
hope that the public will at least re-
serve judgment until the complete
facts of the situation are put forth and
until those accused have had chance
to explain these facts in their true
light.
manipulating prices and of using il
one that should not be carelessly made
by government department.
Swift & Co. stand ready to convince
any unprejudiced person that they are
in active competition with all other
packers; that they have no power over
prices; that they could not manipulate
prices, even if they desired. and that
they have carefully observed the law
In every respect.
LAS for the accusation that the large
packers have been profiteering. Swift
& Co. admit that their profit has been
much greater. during the last two or
three years than previous to the war.
but they are ready to defend those
profits as not only fair and reasonable
but as absolutely essential to the
proper and efficient conduct of the
packing business.
"a distinction should be made be-
tween industries which make a clear
cash profit that can be distributed in
the form of dividends and an industry
that pays only reasonable cash divi.
dends and has to put the rest Of its
profit back into the business.

The Federal income tax and excess
profit taxes of the Steel Corporation
for 1917 were $233, ,465,435, which
leaves from net income $244,738, ,908, of
which about one-tenth was applicable
to interest on bonds of the corpora
tion and the rest available for divi-
dends and surplus.
From information in possession of
the commission, mills in Glass 2 ap-
pear to have made heavy profits in
1917. Recently mills in Class made
objection that the government prices
were too low for them. A special ex-
animation of their profits by the Fed
eral Trade Commission showed that in
almost every case these objecting
mills were enjoying unusual returns.
The following table of percentage Of
return on investment in ten mills in
