REGULATING The PACKERS.

| The Columbia Herald indulgei
some thoughtful observations re.
garding the dangers of a haphazart
and reckless regulation Of the pack.
ing interests. And 1t is a matter upon
which we ought to proceed with the
utmost care. But we believe the
Herald's opposition to any action
simply on the grounds that farmers
are satisfied with the situation Is
hardly tenable. We have sometimes
thought that the federal trade COM
mission was determined to convict
the packers at all hazards, but there
are some features of the situation
that cannot safely be ignored.
Perhaps it has been an advantage
to the farmers that the packers have
largely acquired the poultry indus
try. stabilizing the dressed poultry
and egg market by putting these
products in cold storage and doing
just as high as he can be forced to
pay. but even that may not hide the
multitude of offenses. We doubt the
wisdom of a policy that permits the
packers to come into control of other
and unrelated lines of industry. We
do not believe they can safely be al
lowed to acquire practical control of
the commercial food supplies of the
country. On this score the Herald
betrays no alarm.
The packers have developed high
state Of efficiency in the handling of
meats. AS remarked in the outset,
we believe we should consider well
the effect of any step we may take
upon this efficiency. But while we
recognize their economic experiences,
we sometimes doubt their benevo-
lence. 1t Is a difficult problem to
deal with discreetly, but we ques-
ton whether even the Herald can
contemplate the prospect of $25 shoes
next winter with equanimity, even
though farmers may be getting good
prices for their cattle, hogs and
chickens. What the remedy is we do
not know, but one ought to be found.
The people are getting desperate.
Government operation of packing
plants may not be practicable
Frankly. we do not think 1t Is. But
we are equally certain that the mob
ilization and consolidation of all
sources of food supply under the con-
troll of one closely organized interest
is feasible. 1t is power over hu-
man destiny which ought not to be
conceded to any selfish interest. Such
a situation is the greatest temptation
to socialism. We do not believe that
any interest should be guaranteed
prosperity at the expense Of all other
interests. 1t is not democratic, It
is not Just.

 This proclamation is in substance as faIiogs That 1T 1ne T-e4Ty as sssaed F -at1z.s-zrsi zrsrd upon in a fuii and sincere execution Of its terms, il will furnish a starter for a new order of world affairs
 The treaty is severe in its duties and penalties it imposes upon Ger many, but it is severe only because the great wrongs done by Germany arc to be lighted and repaired II i'm poses nothing that Germany can not dc and she can regain her rIghtful standing in the world by the prompt and honorable fulfillment of its terms. President Wilson considers il more than just a treaty with Ger many. as it liberates a great people who have never before been able 10 find thesr way to liberty. The treaty ends once for all an old and intoler- able order under which a small group of selfish men could use the people of great empires to serve their own ambitions for power and dominion.
