It is estimated by American and European econmists that it will take about ten years to place Gern1any relatively where she was. before the war. That's because the Germans are all pulling to-gether in the work of J'econstruction. Unless present tendencies are promptly checked in thjs country it will not be ten years or one year before the United States is economically prostrate and at the mercy of Germany or any other foreign trad rival. .

B.::~rn ing, shooting and riot in its most vi- olent form were resorted to at that time by the miners in their attacks on the property ofthe coal compon- ,j~s. It is apparent from the facts thnt i\h-: .Merritt has reviewed that stern repressive measures will have to be resorted to by the forces of law and order, both State and Fed- eral, if the scenes of 1914 are nDt to bt• repeated on a greater scale this yt•ar.

Criticism and Citizenship It is the plaif1, public duty of every citizen to criticize proposed govern- ment measures believed to be harmful. Swift & Company is in a better pos- ition perhaps, than others, to under- stand the meat packing business in all tts relations to public and private inter- ests. even though the others may have been giving the subject a great deal of sincere attention. Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by governmental agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman ··and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it. Maximum service that cannot monopolize because of keen competi- tion and lack of control over sources of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit-a fraction o~ a · cent per pour.- from all sources. TherefQre ·Swift & Company is taking every legitimate step of citizen- ship to:\Prevent such interference. Th~se advertisements are intended• to help you, and to' help Congress decide what is· best to be done. Mis- takes are costly and apt to be harmful in these trying times. Let os •end ¥OU li.
