nation Of foodstufs prices would re-
suit from the passage Of the Kenyon
bill to regulate and license the pack
ing industry. L. D. II. Weld, mana
ger Of the commercial research de-
partmant Of Swift 4 Co.. testified
today before the Senate agricultural
COMMITTEES. where the bill is under
consideration.
''Ths main objection to the bill"
Mr.. Weld said. "is in the fact that
It was based upon reports Of the
Federal trade commission. which are
saturated with glaring inaccuracies
and misstatements. This would be
serious enough. but the matter does
not rest there, because the bill, II
passed will further innate the al
ready high cost Of living.
Tho Kenyon bill must either In
tsrfere with the farmers end Of
meat production. or with the pack
ers' part Of the business If de-
signed to affect the high cost Of liv-
Ing" Mr.. Weld said. TT the farmer
Is hit he will cut down production,
which will bring higher stock pri-
ces. II the packer Is hit and his
business crippled. the result will be
the higher manufacturing costs and
these too will have to be passed on"
Mr.. Weld declared many of the
statements Of Commissioner Colver
Of the trade commission. a previous
witness. were exaggerated and in
accurate" Swift 6 Co. owned no
retail stores in England, Mr.. Weld
said. and he has been unable to find
that any other American packer
did.
"Mr. Colver came in here and told
you gentlemen that the five large
packers controlled over IS per cent
Of the business in hides" he contin-
ued. "They handle less thap 50 per
cent. and I assure you there is the
keenest competition between all Of
them.
Mr.. Colver made the fiat state
rhent that the packers have not put
any new capital into the business
from outside sources since 1904.
Swift & Co., alone have added $685.
100000 new cash capital from sales
OF shares. Mr.. Colver persistently
ignored the number Of packing con-
Germs in business in this country.
Some 235 concerns are engaged in
business beside the big
packers. and moreover several hun
dred concerns do a big local and
intrastate business.
IF the Kenyon bill is passed the
splendid and elaborate service given
the country at large by the big pack
ers will be interfered with in a way
that will hurt everybody concerned
packers and consum-
ers."

ISM written Friday by the exPresdent to be read at
the concert of the society the Hppodrome Sunday
night probably his last message to the public It
follows;
Il cannot be with you, and all do is to wish
you Godspeed There must be no sagging back in the
fight for Americansm merely because the war is over
There plenty of persons have already the
assertion that they believe American people have
short memory and that they intend to revive all the
foreign associations which directly interfere with
the complete Amercanizaton of our people Our prnc-
pie in this matter should be absolutely single In the
first place we should insist that if the immigrant who
comes here does good faith become an American and
assmilates himself he shall be treated on an exact
equality with every one else for it is an outrage to dis
crminae against any such man because of creed or birth
place origin
But this is predcaed upon the mans becoming very
fact an American and nothing but American. If he
tries TO keep segregated with of his own origin and
separated from the Of America then he isn't doing
his part an American There can be divided alIeg
lance hVss Amy who says ne is an American but
something else also isn't an American at all We have
room for but one flag the American flag and this ex-
eludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against
liberty and civilization just much excludes any
foreign flag of nation which we are hostile We have
room for but one language here and that is the English
language for intend to see that the crucibe turns
cur people out Americans of American nationality
and not as jewellers in polygot boarding house and we
have room for but soul loyalty and that is loyalty to
the American people"
