Senate Asks More. Facts on Packers
Unpublished Section Of Trade Commission Report War
Time Profits to Be Demanded by Upper House

the packers 9 per cent profit on their
wartime meat business. Their profit
on other commodities in which the
packers deal was not even restricted
this much. Several senators believe
that guarantee of very healthy prof
it's had to be made to the packers be-
fore they would come forward to help
the government in the. war.
A member of the agriculture COM
mittee said that the commissions re-
port will show that the packers bor-
rowed huge sums of money through
their banks at per cent interest in
order to make the government guar
antee 9 per cent on borrowed capi
tai. "This," he said, twas at the time
we were drafting men to go to France
to lay down their lives"
About the time the report on packer
war earnings was made to the presi-
dent, members Of the federal trade
commission became convinced that the
government should take over the meat
packing industry and operate it as a
war measure.

MADE SPECIAL REPORT
ON PROFIT LIMITATION

The federal trade commission" he :
said, "made special report to the
president on the reasonableness of
the maximum profit limitation fixed
on the meat packing industry by the
food administration. This report was.
the result of an investigation directed
by the president in accordance with
the recommendation Of the presidents
committee on meat policy, which sug-
gested that the federal trade COM
mission ascertain the reasonableness
of those maximum profits and report
thereon before July /. This the COM
mission did. This report, being made
j to the president, was not and is not
subject Of discussion by the COM
mission"
The Norris resolution will probably
result in statement to the senate
by the federal trade commission that
a report on the packers wartime
profits was made and was submitted
to the president, but that the report
can not properly be submitted to con-
gress without executive authority.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Believing that reduction Of the high
cost of living is essentially a matter Of
increasing production, the Catholic
Colonization society, U. S. A., with
headquarters at Chicago, has entered
on an extended land colonization cam
paign. The society purposes to ex-
tend widely it's work Of locating on
farms those who ought to be on the
land and who can succeed there.
The organization has investigated
many land projects out Of which 22
are ready for settlers. These projects
are located in Ia states and more
colony tracts are to be opened in the
near future. .-.
The services of the society are free
to all. The work of the society is es-
pecially useful to people Of foreign
birth who do not know how to get the
land in safe and practical manner.
The society neither owns, buys or sells
land, but is merely a directing bureau.

ing federal regulation of the meat
packing industry are working to have
all available information on this sub
,ject given wide publicity.
A step towards this end was achiev-
ed when the senate adopted resolu-
tion by Senator Norris of Nebraska
calling upon the federal trade commits
sion to submit to the senate the find
ings of it's special investigation as to
the reasonableness of the maximum
profits allowed in the meat packing
industry by the food administration
during the war.
This investigation was the subject
of a sharp controversy between the
members of the federal trade commits
sion and Herbert Hoover when the
completed report was submitted to
President Wilson more than a year
ago. The findings of the commission
regarding the packers wartime prof
its have been refused publication by
the president, who, it is said, took
the ground during the war that pub
icity as to packer profits would
arouse dangerous public indignation
because of the fragrant profiteering
which the report is understood to re-
veal.
