If the United States is to help in
any degree to hold the world to n safe
balance, it must be safe and balanced
itself. It cannot remain so if the plot

fomenter of discontent are allowed t.

There is no hardship !u this deportn

The man who does not like our form

The federal trade commission, ne
rnrding to the dispatches today, has
discovered that there Is what the pub
lic has Instinctively been inclined to
believe, excessive profits mnde III
shoes, and the blame is laid primarily
on the packers who began the "pyra
miding" by unduly increasing the price
of leather. The report Rays: "Tan
ners, manufacturers and retailers fol
lowed anil." and today n shoo thi.t
would raniro around four dollnrs In
price to tho consumer not long ago
now costs about ten dollars.
A retail shoo publication of rceeit
date shows how the cost of mntcrial
have advanced lately. It nlr.o recites
the fact Hint there are fewor entile
a'aughtered, and nt the lame time
lluru ia an Increased demnnd for len
ther nt home and an abnormal cvpjrt
demnnd. Tho packers, it seems, antic .
ipated every new demand by rahinK
tho selling price of hides. The cost nt
manufacturing leather has gone up.
Naturally, then, leather of many kinds
costs twice what it did n year nga, and
tvery variety has risen.
As far ns the retailers themselves
are concerned, the trade pnpor in quos'
tlnn says:
'Wo believe thnt retail shoe mcr
'lants are making smaller not profit
inn t'cnlcrs in other lines of merelian
Jise. We arc of the opinion thnt the
nvcrngo gross profit of retail shoo
dealers Ir about !!ii per cent. This rep
resents the actual cost of doing busi
ness before deducting the profit. The
iivcrni'o dealer's net profit, tho sum
which ho receives on his investment
nftor deducting the expense of doing
liusiriss, will average nbout 9 pc
ccit." rhi iWi not seem excessive It in
evident, however, thnt moro informa
tion is desirable. What is needed, in
this nrd every other lino of Industry,
is a careful, accurate tracing of costi
nnJ profits from rnw material down
to the final sale.
