treaty with France by which the
United States would go TO tifat re-

Weld Great Financial Power.
AS to financial power, the report
said in part:
The packer has drawn TO a
marked degree upon the banks of
the country for liquid funds. To
assure himself loans ample to his
purpose, the big packer has secur-
ed affiliation through stock own
ership representation on director
'ates and in other ways with nu-
merous banks and trust companies.
Mr.. Armour, Mr.. Swift, Mr. Morris
and Mr.. Wilson are directors in
banks affiliated closely with, those
who are strong basic sources of
credit in the United States"
After reviewing the interest of
the packers in the leather, fertil-
izer, cotton-seed oil, grain and
breakfast food industries, the re-
port said:
The reason why the packers ara
for meat-the foods that compete
with meats-is obvious. If the
prices of substitutes for meats are
once brought under packer con-
troll, the consumer will have little
to gain in turning to them for re-
lief from excessive meat prices.
Handle Half of Produce.
Judged conservatively by trade
estimates, the big five handle at
least half of the poultry, eggs and !
cheese in the main channels of in !
terstate commerce.
Recently the big packers began /
dealing in various staple grocer /
les and vegetables, such as rice, /
potatoes, beans and coffee, and in /
creased their sales at such a rate /,
that in certain lines thCy have be- /
come factors OF great moment"
Referring to the packers activi- .
ties in South America the report
said that from establishment OF a (
single plant in Argentina in 1907 F.
by Swift & Co., the American pack I
ers, Swift. Armour, Morris and /
had developed by 1917 un-
til for that year they exported 57.4
