matter of fact, however, they are
not the victims of "shell shock, or

"dissociation" of the various elements

"Shell shock" is q phrase mucn

1T describes is not well understood
outside of medicle circles, and, worse
than that, it is often misunderstood.
The common. or lay, assumption
based, naturally, upon the unfortu-

dit!on results from the explosion of
a. shell that falls near enough to the
victim to give him Shock" but
not near enough to inflict physical

The Federal Trade Commission in it's report on war
profits stated that the large meat packers have been
prohteeng and that they have monopoly the market
These conclusions if fair just are matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly is unsup-
ported by the facts
The packers mentioned in the report ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary
The meat business is of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would amliarze himself with
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits large
packers were $1400O0O00 for the three years
This is compared with $19oooooo as the average
annual profit for the three before war; making
that the profit $12OOoOoO greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares threeyear profit one-year prof-a
manfestly unfair method comparison 1t is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of $14OO0OOOO was
earned sales of four billion dollars 1t
about three cents dollar saes-or a mere
fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices live
stock and meats No other large business conducted
upon such small margins of profits.
Furthermore this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the business to
be- you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve quickly during
these years.
To conduct this business in times, with higher
and the necessity of paying two three times former
prices for live stock has required the of two
times the ordinary of working capital The add

been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used to finance huge stocks of goods provide
additions and Improvements made necessary
nous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
If business you will appreciate the sgni-
of these facts If unacquainted with
talk this matter with business acqu:nt-
ance-with your banker say-and ask him compare
profits of the packing industry with of any other
large industry at the present time.
No evidence by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the 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 to
prove to any fair minded person that they are in zen
competition with each other and that they have power
o manipulate prices
If this they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in report only about
one-thrd of the meat business of the country.
They wish it possible to interest you
their business OF how for instance they sell
beef for less than the cost of the live animal owing
utilization of byproducts and of the story
the method of distribution throughout this broad land
well as in other countries
The five packers mentioned feel justified cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement
in its time of need; they have met all wartime demands
promptly and completely and they willing
to the fanindeness of the American people with
the facts before them.
