Misunderstanding of Amer ican industrial organization, and of its benefits to mankind, leads to unrest, dissatisfaction, and radicalism. For example, the Federal Trade Commission tells the pub lic that the large packers had an agreed price for lard substitute (made of cotton-seed oil) It reproduces letters taken from the files of one of the packers, showing that such agreed price existed. But it failed to mention that the agreed price was deter mined at the request o f and in co-operation with the Food Administration! Even the Department of Jus tice, in its unjust attempt to create prejudice against the packers, has made public these same letters, with no explanation. How long must this kind of misrepresentation continue? In so far as it is believed, it not only breeds discontent, but re sults in injustice to our industry. S a w s 2 5 c o rd s a d a y !
