Paris, Jan. 1S.-All is in readiness
for the commencement today of the
Peace Congress. At meeting at
tended by President Wilson and other
leaders of the great powers. the dele
cations which are to sit in the Con-
gress were completed by according
to Belgium and Serbia three delegates
each and two representatives to the
king of the Hedjas, whose forces in
the Holy Land so materially aided
the British in overcoming the Turks.
At meeting the question Of the ad-
mission of the press to the confer
ences was also acted upon. 1t was
decided that the newspaper men should
be admitted to the meetings of the
full conferences, but that on neces-
sary occasions the deliberations OF
the conference might be held in Sc
cret.
1t was determined in reaching this
decision limiting the activities of the
press that while not undertaking the
importance of public opinion, the pro-
cess of reaching a favorable solution
of the task before the Congress would
be hindered if discussion Of every dis
puted question were to open by pub.
lie declaration by each delegation OF
its own national point Of view.
1t has been tentatively decided that
three representatives of the press
each of the allied and associated pow
ers will be admitted to the confer
ence. The conference probably will
be organized in a manner similar to
the American Congress, with secret
committee meetings to discuss deli
cate questions, with formal open ses-
sions and with executive sessions, as
in the United States Senate.
The proceedings of peace confer
ence are far more analogous to the
meetings of a cabinet than to those
of legislature. Nobody has ever
suggested that cabinet meetings
should be held in public, and if they
were so held the work of government
would become impossible. One rea-
son why cabinets are held in private
is in order that differences may be
reconciled and agreements reached be-
fore the stage of publicity is begun.
The essence Of the democratic method
is not that the deliberations Of gov
ernment are to be conducted in pub
lie, but that its conclusions be SUBJ
ject to the consideration of a popular
chamber and to free and open dis
cussion on the platform and by the
press.

Berlin, Jan. 16.-Riga is now COM
pletely in the hands of the Russian
red army. Bolshevist forces have ad-
vanced from Dvinsk and occupied the
station at Neugut, thirty-one miles
from Mitau. Mitau is overfiowing
with refugees. German soldiers, the
last persons leaving Riga, report that
the city is burning in several places
and that the Russians and Let's are
numbering and plundering.
Berlin's long week of Bolshevism
is finally ended. Here and there, scat
tered desperadoes, mostly youths, still
fire occasionally from some housetops
and during the night attempts are
made by small bands of the followers
of DR.. Karl Liebknecht to revive the
reign of terror. They are insignifi-
cant, however, compared with what
has passed.
Property losses during the week Of
terror amount to tens of millions Of
marks. In addition to the damage to
newspaper plants and government
buildings, merchants losses through
looting are high. In some streets
near the police headquarters nearly
every store was systematically looted.
Bolshevist troops holding the ST.
lesian station had so much butter that
they used it to grease their guns and
boots.
The government has no intention Of
slackening its efforts against the
Spartacans. Energetic measures are
being taken against the leaders of
the movement. 1t is reported that
doc -ments found by loyal troops show
that the Spartacan uprising was in
spired from Moscow.
A Gordon of troops has been thrown
around the suburb of Moabit, one Of
the most important industrial sections
in Greater Berlin, to disarm civilians
and such Spartacan fighters as are
still at liberty.

Competition From Packers.

New York.-Competition BY meat
packers who have entered the whole
sale groceries trade is a problem
which must be faced, according to Ed
ward Cumpson of Buffalo, vice presi-
dent of the Wholesale Grocers' Asso-
citation, at the annual convention Of
that body in New York. The packers
had found difficulty in bringing their
profits down to 9 per cent, he said,
and finding that the marginal profit
in this industry was extremely close,
had entered it and now offer formi.
dable competition.

ty were dismissed and all proceedings

TRADE COMMISSION is
UNFAIR, PACKERS SAY
S,rh Denies Charges on Be-
half Of Big Companies

Chicago. July 11.-lBy \. p
Charges against the big meat packers
contained in the report issued by the
Federal Trade Commission today were
denied by Louis +. Swift president oi
Swift and Company. speaking for his
own company and for the other Chicago
packers. Armour and Company, Morris
and Company. Wilson and Company
and Cudahy and Company.
This latest report of the Fedora
Trade Commission is merely an attack
upon large and successful business or
carnations and should be resented by
all Americans who are proud of the in
dustrial progress of the nation" said
Mr.. Swift. ''It contains nothing new
and is an outgrowth Of the former Sis
credited Hcncy eXpartc investigation.
This report, so far as | am Informed,
contains absolutely no evidence of col
lusion among the five largest packers.
''Thc manner in which the trade
commission iuggles figures and resorts
tonsationalism betrays the insincerity
of the COMMISSION. We arc living up
to both the spirit and letter of tho law
and want to operate with the gov
crnmcnt in every helpful and construc-
tive way, bat we must protest against
the methods used by this important
branch of the government.
II say that the large packers and
their individual businesses are Il publ,
benefit and q decided factor in keeping
down the spread between the livestock
and meat prices.
This report is put out now as part
Of the propaganda in which the trade
commission with others. is engaged.
seeking TO subject the packing industry
and other lines of business to the arbi
trary rontrol of subordinate government
officials through license system.
"No ono disputes that out of the
receipts of the packers, derived from the
products of animals, about 81 per cent
is paid out for live animals them
selves. About Is per cent is paid out
forwagCs. transportation and other such
expenses. About . per cent of this
turnover is earned by the packer as net
profit. And no one disputes that this
amount is but small fraction of n
cent per pound and that il is so neg
ligibl" as not in any way to affect the
price which the consumer pays for
meats.
1T is to be regretted that in these
days. when the public feels kecnly the
pressure of high prices. II government
body docs not give out facts respecting
prices and profits. This has never been
done fairly by the Federal Trade Com
mission as regards the packing indus
try. although the commission has con-
stantly had the most complete informa
ton in its possession.

commission and its discussion Il mum

of business handled by the packers, are

REED CHARGES GREAT
BANKERS BACK LEAGUE
Senator Tells Audience of
FLOOD of Gold" to Sup
port Idea
SEES NATIONS RIGHTS GONE

Atlanta. Ga, July 11.-AppcalinG to
the South TO stand against the league
of nations, Senator .Jmes A. Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, declared at a
mass meeting here last night that the
league plan would sacrifice national
rights and place the destinies of the
American people in the hands of foreign
kings and diplomats.
II come to you said Senator Reed
las an old fashioned simon pure Dem
ocrat. I have never scratched a Demo
cratic ticket. l believe in the doctrine
of local self government. | believe the
interests of the American people arc
safer in the hands of the representatives
of all the people assembled in Wash
ington than they will be in the hands
of the representatives of the govern
ments, kings and autocrats of Europe
and Asia.
81 deny the right of any temporary
otfccholder to so employ the powers of
his office as to compel our sons to sac
riticc their lives in the contests of other
nations while he sits secure and safo
at home
Charging that n vast propaganda for
tho league had been organized by former
President Taft and backed largely by
international bankers, Mr.. Reed con-
tinucd:
I'm part this propaganda has been
Illegally paid for out of the moneys
of the United States. Even while the
Liberty Loan drives were on. literature
advocating the league, printed at gov
crnment expense. was furnished to the
four minute speakers who were to ad-
dress audiences
