"Stop Saving Meat"

There are some difficulties In the
way Of any general acceptance OF the
advice Of the department of agricul-
ture to the American people ito stop
saving meat" During the war they
saved meat as a patriotic duty. Today
they are saving meat partly because
they resent the profiteering they are
convinced is being practiced some
where along the line from the cattle
grower to the retailer and partly be-
cause they can not afford to buy meat
at present prices. And they will stop
Saving meat at the best Of the gov
ernment only when they shall be con-
vinced that the prices bear fair re-
lation to the cost of production and
distribution.
Apparently the acting secretary OF
agriculture, in whose name this admo-
milton Is issued to the public, fully re-
cognizes the probability that it viii
not be generally obeyed while present
conditions last. For he sets forth In
some detail his explicit belief that the
reduction in retail prices has not come
anywhere near the decline In whole-
sale prices. The meat supply has been
enormously luCTSdScus uHoCA eAAS oS.-----F5
illus of war demands, but foreign pur,--
chases and shipments have been
checked. with the. .resuls that the in
dustry faces a crisis. IS
It would seem superfluous to offer
advice to the housewives when it Is
known in advance that the advice can
not and will not be followed to any
great extent. But the department
makes the situation the immediate oc-
casion for recommendation that the
federal government should undertake
a supervision over the manufacture
sale and distribution Of meat products,
to the end that, with state and local
cooperation, "the prevention of un-
fair dealings, speculation and profiteer-
ing" can be brought about by "fur-
nishing to the public from unimpeach-
able sources all the facts with regard
to the industry from the farm to the
table in order that both producer ana
consumer may have square deal.
This is consummation devoutly
wished for-Philafelphia Public Ledg-

/, Chicago. July 11.--Charges against
the big meat packers contained In the
report issued by the federal trade
commission today were denied by
Louis F. Swift. Of the Swift q Co. who
said he also was speaking for the other
big Chicago packers.
This latest report Of the federal
trade commission 10 mostly an attack
upon large and sncce..fni h..iness or.
ganizations and they should be re-
sented by all Americans who are
proud Of the Industrial progress OF
the nation" said Mr.. Swift.
1T contains nothing new and In IN
outgrowth Of the former discrciited
Heney investigation. The report con-
tains, 80 far as am informed. alb.
solutely no evidence of collusion
among the five largest packers. and !
say for Swift & Co., as have said
many times. that we have no aSree-
ment OF any kind with any other
packer to affect prices of live stock or
meat
"The manner In which the trade
commission juggles figures and re-
sorts to sensationalism betrays the in-
sincerity of the commission. We Az
liytng up to both the spirit and letter
'of the law and want to co-opsra4e
with the government In every way.
but we must protest asAinst s*Ae
methods used by this impog1aue
branch Of the govcznmsnG
|. @Pukiie 0snSsao4ors.S
'T say, that the large packers ana
their individual businesses are pub
lie benefit and decided factor In
keeping down the spread betweeA
live stock and meat prices.
TT Is to be regretted that In these
days. when the public feels keenly the
pressure Of high prices, a government
body does not give out facts respect,
ing prices and profits" said Mr.. Swift.
This has never been done fairly by
the federal trade commission as re-
CARDS the packing industry. altho the
commission has constantly had the
most complete information In its pos
session.
1.-THE report just issued by the trade
commission and its discussion os tho
number OF subsidiary companies. and
it's calculation Of percentages of the
classes of business handled by the
packers, are not only erroneous but
are entirely immaterial to the real
question in which the public Is inter-
ested. namely why prices are high.

Washington, July 11.-Questioned to-
day by house war investigating sub
com rn:ttes about the location, OF most
OF the army training fields In the
south. Secretary Baker said he had
never heard an improper suggestion
from any one about the location Of the
camps"
Mr.. Baker declared the camps were
placed in the south rather than in the
north because Of better weather con-
ditions obtained there and he added
that no influence that he knew OF was
exerted to send the men south.

Treaty in Danger.
CBy Associated Press.1

Paris, July 11.-Ratification Of the
treaty OF peace by the German national
assembly at Weimar may be held not
to be sufficient, according to the Petit
Parisien The new Gssnaan constitu :
tion provides that in cases where ter>
ritory is ceded the ratification OF
treaties by states which lose territory
is necessary, in addition to approval
by the central government. Conse-
quently independent action by Bavaria
for the Saar basin and Prussia for
territory restored to Poland may be
required. 1t may, be said, the news
paper states, that the new constitution
had been only partially accepted when
the treay was ratified, but it adds:
TT is imperative to avoid giving
German legal experts a pretext for
proclaiming the nullity Of the treaty"

ernment which has been invited to

AS to financial power, the report said
in part:
THE packer has drawn to a marked
degree upon the banks OF the country
for liquid funds. To assure himself
loans ample to his purpose, the big
packer has secured affiliation thru
stock ownership. representation on
directors and in other ways, with num-
erous banks and trust companies. Mr..
Armour, Mr.. Swift, Mr.. Morris and Mr..
Wilson are directors in banks affiliated
closely with those who are strong at
the sources Of credit In the United
States"
Control Of Substitutes.
After reviewing the interests of the
packers in the leather. fertilizer. cotton
seed oil, grain and breakfast food, the
report said:
"The reason why the packers are
seeking control of the substitutes for
meat-the foods that compete with
meats obvious. If the prices Of
substitutes of meats are once brought
under packer control, the consumer
will have little to gain in turning to
them for relief from excessive meat
prices.
Recently the big packers began
dealing in various staple groceries and
vegetables, such as rice. potatoes.
beans and coffee, and increased their
sales at such a rate in certain lines
they have become factors Of great
moment"
Referring to the packers activities
in South America the report said that

plant in Argentina in 1907 by Swift &
Co.. the American packers, Swift.

veloped by 1917 until for that year they

Washington, July 11.-President Will
son still had before him today appro-
priation bills passed recently by con-
gress and it seemed doubtful whether
any of them would be signed this week.
The president was understood to feel
that the measures carrying appropria-
tions Of more than s2o00,000 deserved
deliberate consideration.
1t was indicated at the White House
that the president was devoting con-
siderable attention to the rider on the
agricultural bill repeating the daylight
savings law. So far as could be ascer-
tanned the presidents mind was still
open.
It was indicated tha. the president
had not yet begun preparation OF the
address to be delivered to the senate.
when he presents the treaty with
France by which the United States
would go to that republics aid In case
Of unprovoked attacks by Germany.

mite program and 1t was said this
would be rigidly adhered to until he
started on his speaking tour.

Gus speaking tour.

ed call on Acting Secretary Polk today

dent had acquainted him with stu
alton there. -... a
After leaving Mr.. Polk's office the
president went to the office Of Secre-
tary Daniels, where he went into con-
ference with the head Of the navy de-
partment. Many employees in the state,
