Strive to Enter League,
lny International News servlceO J


BERLIN, July 20. via London, July
2l-Eyerybody living in Germany
knows tina, we neither would nor
could undertake a war OF revenge, de.
elared Count Won Berns,orii, former
herman ambassador TO the United
States, in an address here this after
noon
Count Won Bernstorfi also warned
sgainst speculation on war between
America and Japan, which, he said,
rs mistake often made in Ger
many before This speculation added
Bernstorff, would revive Germany's
old reputation OF figuring on dlScord
between other nations. Such con-
tlict the former ambassador argued
is made further improbable because
the United states is concentrating on
her pan.American interests while
Japan is looklpg TO the Far East.
"1hc protest under which our gov
ctnmeni signed the treaty still re
mains in full force, but having signed
loyalty and honesty demand compl-
anee," continued Won Bcrnstorii.
This, however, will not prevent us
from announcing 10 the world that
cur foreign policy ccnters in revislons
OF the terms promised by our adver-
saries."
The former ambassador said tina,
the safest foreign policy would be for
Germany to strive for admission into
the league OF nations as the bes,
medium to facilitate the resumption
OF friendship with the allied and as
ISOLATED powers and to insure fair
revision Of the peace treaty, especial
ly aiming at a union Of Germany and
German-AuHria and the restoration
of the lost German territory or least
wise of the Germany nationality Of its
population"

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-Sensa-
tional disclosures as TO packers
profits during the war will stir con-
gress to action, senate leaders be-
lieved today.
Federal trade commission experts
before the senate agricultural com
mitte@ testified war profits were
three times as great as peace time
earnings.
Memb ers of the senate committee
believed the situation called for ac-
ton. Kenyon. Norris and Gronna are
especially anxious that effective leg
islation be put through at this ses-
sion. Conferences are being held
daily over suggestions for control
of the packing industry and stock
yards.
Regulation i'm Vain.
Regulation by the food admin
lstration didn't amount TO anything.
so far as regulating packers profits
is concerned" Stuart Chase. federal
trade commission, investigator, said
at the hearing. Total earnings of
the five big packers for 1917 were
sos, 639. 600, testimony indicated. al
though witnesses declared accurate
figures were impossible, because OF
faulty accounting methods of the
packers.
Compile Figures.
Armour's profits before the war
averaged 65 percent but from 1915
10 1917 they averaged 1917 percent.
figures compiled by the federal
trade commission indicated. Swift 5
pre-war profits were around Sc per
cent. while during the war they
jumped 10 24.5 percent. Morris

1914
Evidence Of political activity was
seen by witnesses. Chase declared he
saw on Armour's books references
10 legal fees paid attorneys in "A
number Of state capitals for service
in introducing bills and watching
legislators" Amounts were small
and would not total over $4,000,
Chase believed.
