"A & P Urges Public
TO Consider True
Antitrust Issue

Recent statements by Govern
ment antitrust lawyers on the
case against the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Company are re-
futed in company advertisements
published this. week in $500
newspapers.
Under the bold heading, "Don't
Let Anybody Food Youl" the ads
state that success of the civil
action will destroy ARP, raise
the cost of food, and increase the
likelihood of similar attacks on
other chain stores.
The company states the anti
trust lawyers are trying, by
court decision, to impose new
kind of economic policy on the
people of this country. If they
succeed in destroying ARP, they
will be destroying the method OF
distribution that has helped make
the American standard of living
the envy of the world" the ad
states.
The Arp arguments are directed
against claims made by anti
trust representatives in speeches,
radio talks, letters and news
paper releases. The Washington
lawyers say that the suit will
not close single ARP store, win

result in lower food prices and
will only affect Arp.
The Arp points out that the
count asked to "break up APPS
retail stores into seven groups,
each of which must be sold TO
different owners, and operated
under new management" and to
'order us to sell A&P's factories,
which produce many of the fine
foods you find in our stores, to
still other new owners
"None of the present owners,
who have made ARP what it is
today, can have anything to do
with either the stores or the fac
tories" the ad continues. mo
one can predict what the poll
cies of the new owners of the
various parts of ARP will be.
Nor, despite the antitrust law
yer's Statement, can anyone tell
how many ARP stores will re-
main open or will be closed. So,
while there may be food store
where your ARP is now located,
it won't be your Arp store. Make
no mistake about it. If the, anti
trust lawyers win their suit, it
will mean the end of the ARP
as you know il"
The company cites reasons why
the suit would result in higher
food prices instead OF lower costs costs
as the Government lawyers claim.
'The very heart of the anti
trust lawyers case is that APPS
methods, which they claim are
illegal, have enabled the company
to undersell competitors. How
can anyone possibly say that you
will get lower food prices by
eliminating the company that
has done so much to bring them
down?'
The ad goes on to explain that
the suit would make Arp get rid
OF its manufacturing facilities
which enable it to pass savings
along to consumers in the form
OF lower prices.
Make no mistake about it,"
the ad states. "If the anti-trlst
lawyers succeed in putting Arp
out of business, you will find
your food bill higher"
In refutation of the Govern
ment's claim that only the APP
will be affected, the ad points out
that the suit can be used as 4
basis for an attack against other
grocers and merchants in other
lines.

ALEXANDER CRUNNTELL,
LOVER OF AFRICA

Alexander Crufnmell, a direct
descendant OF an African king,
exemplified what Phyllis Wheat
ley said about the refinement Of
black Africans. It is said of this
lover Of his race that when he
entered a room one would rather
stand than sit. He was a gentle
loving soul suggesting by his
pleasing countenance another
world. He was neat, spare, and
trim. Crowned with a shock OF
frosty hair and we'll trimmed
beard this "rnbleached Ameri-
can was a person to compel at
tention. But more compelling
was his personality more like
st. Francis of Assiss..
Ills remarkable contribution
was the pride he took in Africa,
the faith he had in the African.
He was born in New York, a
classmate of Henry Highland
Garrett. The finishing touch TO
his education was to be grad
uated from Queens College,
Cambridge, England. What
next? Ills love. Of Africa con-
strained him to go there as 4
missionary and give the best
years Of his life teaching the
African to save himself by saving
Africa. This made him the
black Livingstone of his race. IN
Liberia he became rector Of d
parish and Professor OF Mental
ard Moral Science. This self
effacing teacher and preacher
soon became the great spiritual
leader Of Liberia.
He staked his al in helping
to make the infant Republic Of
Liberia a success On the first
Of December 1868, he was in
vited to address the young men
IF Monrovia, Liberia. One can
feel his heart throbs in an ex- |
.erpt Of this address:
What will you do? Look I
around you, then, at the vast
moral waste that surrounds us
n this country, and throughout
his continent, and think Of the
Multitudinous minds and the
7ast energies of the painful
abors Of the msrtyr-like self
sacrifice on part Of both Church /
and state, which are to be ex-
pended from generation to gen
GRAFTON. ere the great work Of
God and humanity on this soil
will approach contamination /
You will have to participate in
this work, and, therefore, I en-
treat you, grid up your loins,

This scholarly, sanity man re-
turned to America with the bur |
den Of Africa on his heart. He
used every opportunity to adv
ance the work so dear to his
heart. In address delivered to
the Penn. Colonization Society
in 1865 on How Shall the Re-
generation of Africa Be Effected
ne said:
ut is all Gods work. To him
