Any citizen who would famarze himself with it's details must

The sum is compared with s9OOOOO the average annual

that the war profit $2 100000 greater than the prewar

This compares three-year profit with oneyear prot-a

The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
to any fair person that they keen competition
with each other and that they have power to manipulate

If this were not true they would dare make this positive
statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
third of the meat business of the country.
