An old man
A man I
Whom you all know
By reputation
Whose family wealth
Had been invested ''
Unreal estate
For generations
Said to me a few years
Before his death
I'm a very old man
And through my entire life
I've noticed one thing.
Families who have all
Their investments in securities
Frequently go broke
And never recover,
While families whose investments
Have been in Real Estate
Are never down and out.
The reason is obvious.
When things go wrong
Families who have securities
Sell them to get the cash.,
Thinking to buy them back
On the return Of good times.
But the money gets away
And when good times come
They haven't the money
To get the securities back.
Howere
The families whose money
Is in Real Estate
When hard times come
And they need money.
Can't sell their Real Estate
AT its real value
And they are obliged
To keep it.

DENIES HOLDING UP
/. j. S. TRADE REPORT

SAN 8IATEO, Cal, Sept. 26.-Her-
bert Hoover, former food administra-
tor for the United States, has issued
q statement commenting on dis
patches from Washington that the
food administration brought about
suppression OF the Federal Trade
Commissions report on the food ad-
ministratiOn regulations Of the pack
ers. He said:
IF anyone will read the whole OF
my analysis Of the Federal Trade
Commissions report on the food ad-
ministration regulation OF the pack
ers he will see that my objection to
publication was only conditional
upon simultaneous publication OF my
reply, because the report OF the trade
commission was mistakenly based on
the assumption by its accountants
that the food administration had au-
thority under the law to regulate
profits on banking, foreign invest
ments, railways, leather and other
by-products business OF the packers,
whereas the authority Of Congress
extended only to their American food
operations.
Therefore the calculations and rec
concentrations in the Trade Commits
sion's report were erroneoualy found
ed. It was necessary, in order to get
at the hearts OF the profts to ap-
prOaCh ii through new legislation,
which believed could only be done
during the war through the avenue
Of war tax on excess profits, which
I strongly recommended TO Congress-
The food administration regula-
tions imposed a maximum limit Of 8
per cent profit by the packers on the
capital employed in their food bust
ness, or less than thFee-quarterg OF 1
cent per pound, but as a matter Of
fact so fixed prices that taking all
the packers together, they did not
earn an average Of 6 per cent during
the period OF regulation.
This figure Of 8 per cent maximum
was approved by Mr.. Davis. one OF
the earlier members OF the Trade
Commission, as set out in my repiv.
"The food administration strongly
advocated q more constructive law
for permanent regulation OF the large
packers, and these recommendation
Of a year ago were published IN the
press some time last winter"
