today by a joint committee from the
cotton States to raise the embargo on
cotton. Senator Smith Of South Caro-

alton by the American delegates to
the peace conference. The proposed
mission would have no relations with

The Packers Made
Immense Profits
The Food Administration Not to
Blame.

Washington, Jan. flood admin
istration regulations neither reguiat-
I'd profits of the meat packers nor
benefited the public or the consumer
Stuart Chase, an expert accountant
employed by the federal trade COM
mission, told the senate agricultural
committee today in presenting figures
to show that profits of the five big
packing concerns had doubled and
trenled during the war.
.Gr. Chase, who was testifylng at
hearings on the Kindrick bill provid-
ing for government supervision of. the
meat industry, said no one knows ac-
curate.y what the packers earnings
are because their methods of book
Keeping have the effect of covering up
their profits. He declared, however,
that examinations by the commission
Of the books of Armour and Company,
Morris &. Company. Swift & Company
wilson & Company and the Geadsef4aas'
Company showed that their aggregate
profits in 1912 were S1S.715,0 600 and
in 1917, s95,639.000. Based on capi-
ia! stock, Mr.. Chase said Morris &
Cornpany's profits in 1917 were 267.7
per cent, and that on the same basis
Armour s: Conpany's profits in 1916
were 114.2 per cent. Because Of the
late increase in capital stock the per
centage Of Armour & Company drop
ped to 27.1 in 1917. Swift & Com.
pany's profits in 1917 on the same
basis We're 63 per cent. while those
Of the Cudahy Company in 1917 were
23.2 per cent based on capital and
surplus. Wilson & Company's earn
iags for the same year were 29.6 per
cent. on the combined capital and
surplus.

Paris, Jan. Icy the Associated
Press. The plans for a league OF
nations have been reduced to very
definite form. The general lndlca-
tions are that the statesmen OF the
principal nations are steadily draw
ing together on a structure which Will
have the support Of all, the informal
discussions having brought the COM
nunity of ideas to point where II
may reasonably be expected soon TO
appear on paper.
1t is understood that the general
plan which is now most approved IN
substance by all the parties concerned
rejects the theory Of the super-sov-
ereignty of an international police
force. It also contemplates the work
ing out, as the development of the
league progresses, one Of the most
delicate questions of all-disarn1a-
rs,ent-which par: arly affects the
British navy The tine principle, 1t
is proposed. shall apply to the other
nations associated in the war against
Germany.
The idea is founded on the argu-
ment that no nation would dispose Oh
instruments by which it expects to
defend itself until it has been demon
strated that the forces proposed as a
substitute will be efficient.
In opinion Of international lawyers,
such decisions will remove from ac-
tual settlement by the peace confer
ence at this sitting at least, many
questions on which complete agree
nnent might not be expected now, out
upon which full accord seems prob
able as the development of the plans
for league of nations advance.
Such plan will delegate to varl-
Gus commissions and committees de-
tailed problems which shall be re-
ported with recommendations to the
league itself. The probability of such
a. plan being adopted justifies pre-
vious forecasts that the principal ac-
ccmplishments of the peace con-
ference as it now sits in Paris will be
agreement on broad general prIncl-
pies, leaving the details to be applied
in accord Herewith and the making
of preliminary peace which will re-
turn the world at the earliest mo-
ment possible to its normal status
Callers at the Paris white House"
today were Senator Leonard Bour-
geois. the league of nations specialist
on the French peace delegation; Lord
Robert Cecil. who occupies a similar
position for the British, and Gen. Dan
Christian SHUTS, the South African
leader, who also has a plan for so
ciety of nations.
President Wilson thus had an op-
portunity to discuss the French and
British viewpoints on this question
and to get further ahead with the
work of reconciling the different pro-
jects with his own ideas.
