Sees Packers in Control.
Of Country's Food Supply.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11-Francis J.
Heney, former counsel for the federal
trade commission, testifying tony be-.
fore the house interstate commerce., com.
mittee, declared that within 10 years.
and probably within I'VE, the nve lead
ing meat packers would control the en-.
tire food supply Of the country and
would be able to charge whatever priceS
they desired. x
Mr.. Heney said tho packers had ex.,
tended their activities Into 20 many
fields that they had become = menace to
the country. They now control the:
cheese. oleomarserine and butter mar.
kets. he said, and rapidly arc obtaining
a monopoly Of large number OF other
food products. Through their large cap.
ital and their special privileges, the Wit:
ness declared. they arc able to smother
competition" -.
MIR. Hcncy said the packers reeeiyr6
their first start towards domination OF
the food markets through rebates grant
ed by the railroads. This gave them such
an advantage over their competitors, .ha
stated. that they soon obtained control
Of meats and meat products. The sec.
ond step taken by the packers, he as
serted, was the obtaining Of special priv
ileGes from the railroads for their re.
frigerator cars. intended originally for
perishable meat products alone. -
The packers. Mr.. Heney said. now
use refrigerator cars for pcrishabie and
impcrishable goods alike, and At such
great saving In money and in time IT
deliveries as to destroy competition AZ,
a result, he said, wholesale grocerB are
being driven out Of business.
Government ownership OF refrgef-
ator cars and stock yards was advocated
by Nr. Hency as the only means OF plnc-
ing the packers on an even footing With
possible competitors. and he said that
even this could not cure entirely tho.
packer evil" Cold storage plants
should be built by the government In an
large cities. he said, so that small pacht
crs would have means Of disposinG "
their products.
Government regulation Of the meat
Industry he characterized as inadyisabl9:
because "the regulated have q habit X
soon appointing the regulators theni-
selves" He also said government owner.
ship Of the packing plants or extensive
licensing probably would be unsuecess:
full.
Testimony submitted BY the packers
during the hearings was termed py nr.
Hcney as virulent and unjustined az
tack on the federal trade commission;
He said the packers had made mans
MISREPRESENTATION and called particular
attention to their statement that they$
had not been allowed to state their side
OF the case during the commissions o-
vestISatlon. None OF the packers re-.
ouestcd that he be heard at any time,
the witness said.
Nr. Hcncy also denied statements tnak
the commission had made misuse OF me

much Of its evidence had been secuio1
from uninformed persons or disSruntledt
employees Of the packers.

Such league, to be successful, must
be founded on mutual confidence.
To-day there reigns widespread
mutual suspicion.
Despite all protestations 10 the
contrary, | believe this suspicion Is
tfle direct result Of Mr.. Wilson's
personal Intervention. Had he not
intericcted himself, with his precon-
ceired theories of world reorganiza-
ton, into the situation, the natural
course Of events would have been
that twenty!six nations which had
co-operated 10 defeat the Germanic
powers would have united 10 settle
terms.
This was. the natural league OF
nations. Instead. we have seen
Wilson crossing tile seas TO exercise
the vast power he possesses as the
executive head Of the richest and
most unexhausted nation in the
world to compel the adoption Of his
personal theories.

In this condition Of public mind

the draft OF the league Of nations,

In the meantime the supreme war

The situation is hardly propitious

PARIS, Feb. 12.-Although no
official communique was issued
after the meeting of the supreme
war council this morning, the
Havas Agency understands that
the council decided first to place
Germany in a military situation
where it would be impossible for
her to- re-conlmsnce hostilities. 1t
is pointed out that the enemy
countries are preserving war ma
tcrial permitting them to equip
very rapidly All army Of at least
100000 men.
The council decided, secondly,
according to Havas, "to make
Germany realize that we are the
, conquerers and that it is not a
white peace that We arc seeking
TO impose on her.
In case Germany submits with
good grace, continues Havas, it is
possible that the entente would
facilitate the resumption of the
entcntc's works Of. peace for the
benefit Of Germany.
The council also had to examine
the demand by the Poles that a
clause be introduced into the
armisticc that the agricultural
machinery stolen by the enemy
! should be restored.
The councils program also con-
tanned questions of effectives and
/ the raising of the blockade con-
cerning. Turkey and Bulgaria.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE view that the
terms Of peace with Germany should be

ment would lose large part of It's tro-

} draft OF a peace tTfnlS WHICH Iitu W hc

, The preliminary treaty, he said. should
