Increasing its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which lias heen accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintalnctl by a nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the na

now give the Da'ions strength and
tranquillity to n MtlMlatl themselves
In freedom and deiiKicnicy.
Without our help It would have been
-hsolutely Impossible for the Allies to

Whose normal food supplies have heen I
cut off, whose production has fallen I
almost to Hie vanishing point, whose
fields hnve been dewistntnl by Hit
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty -two million people.

portion of the food that left this iinin

people.
In spite of difficulties met In Inter
nal transportation and shortage of
oeeuii tonnage our food exports int
year amounted to a figure that I few
years urn wiiiii have been unbelieva

of our population faced with anxious
consternation the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
of the lit 1 T harvest year.
The AmeriCM people have nut been

and of patriotism. They have re

Christmas giving this year must be

An International Service Built
on Tiny Profits Per Pound
Some industries have been able to get in
step with war demands more quickly than
others.
In many cases mighty plants have sprung
up but at a prodigious cost.
The packing industry was able to adapt
itself to unheard of demands more quickly,
perhaps, than any other industry. And this
was because the vast equipment of packing
plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc.,
had been gradually developed to its present
state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour
it became a mighty international system for
war service.
And how had this development taken place?
Not by making vast inroads into the capi
tal wealth of the country, but largely by using,
from year to year, a portion of the profits, to
provide for expansion.
Swift ft Company's profits have always been so
tiny, compared with sales, that thev have had practic
ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only
a fraction of a cent per pound).
And yet the owners qf the business have been
content with nuson.iblc returns on their capital, and
have been able, year after year, to put part of the
profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
Thene. fractions cf tiny profits have been repaid to
to the public many fold in the; form of better service,
nnd better and cheaper merit, and QUldg it i for
Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden
cry for meat for overseas.
Could any other method of financing a vital
industry involve leeg hardship to the people of the
country? Could there be a better instar.co of true
"profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness
and in national prepurcdnesa ?
