While he was there a burtal party, with the body of another American, ap peared, Altho thousands of miles from home, among strangers, there were still tears and sorrow for the lad who had given his life for France and freedom. For with the funeral cortege came the women and chil dren of the village with flowers to deck the grave, and the mothers of France—despite all thetr own losses land thelr own heart breaks—wept beside the grave of the young Amert can whose own mother, across the seas, was yet to hear of his death.

Plain Facts About The Federal Trade Commision, in its recent report on war profits, stated that the five large meat packers have been profiteering, and that they have a monopoly of the market. These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing business, but to every other citizen of our country. The figures given on profits are misleading, and the state- ment that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts. The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their profits reasonable and necessary. * « * * * The meat business is one of the largest American indus- tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its details must be prepared for large totals. The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers were $140,000,000 for the three war years. This sum is compared with $19,000,000 as the average an- nual profit for the three years before the war, making it ap- pear that the war profit was $121,000,000 greater than the pre-war profit. This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit—a manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake in the figures themselves. * * + * The aggregate three-year profit of $140,000,000 was carn- ed on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three cents on each dollar of sales—or a mere frac- tion of a cent per pound of product. * * * * * Packers’ profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit. * ra * * * Furthermore—and this is very important—only a small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. ‘The balance has been put back into the businesses. It had to be, as you realize when you consider the problems the pack- ers have had to solve—and solve quickly—during these war years. To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs and the necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three times the ordinary amount of working capital. The addi- the Meat Business tional profit makes only a fair return on this, and, as has been stated, the larger portion of profits earned has been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provide addi- tions and improvements made necessary by the enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies. * a * + ” If you are a business man, you will appreciate the signifi- cance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, :alk this matter over with some business acquaintance— with your banker, say—and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with those of any other large industry at the present time. + * No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in support of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly. ‘The Commission’s own report shows the large number and importance of other packers. * * * The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove to any fair-minded person that they are in keen com- petition with each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices. If this were not true, they would not dare to make this posi- tive statement. Furthermore, government figures show that the five large packers mentioned in the report account for only about one-third of the meat business of the country. They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as well as in other countries. The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating with each other to the extent of together presenting this public statement. ‘They have been able to do a big job for your government in its time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and completely and they are w illing to trust their case to the fair-mindedness of the American people, with the facts before them.
