To The
erican People
There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and I want to say emphatic
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment. Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing a felony by acting
in collusion on Government bids I
We have done our best, with other
packers, large and small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S.
Army and Navy and the Allies, now be
ing handled through the Food Adminis
tration. We will continue to do our utmoit, un
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Adminis
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain.and most press
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, a false and
sinister meaning with the plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the
United States are most urgently needed,
and I regret exceedingly that we should at
this time have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded,
unproved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public.

Red Cross Lecture Interesting
Prof. Albert Powers,, of ihe
University of Oregon, gave an in
teresting and instructive lecture
on the lied Cross in the Federa
ted church lust Sunday evening
to a large and appreciative audi
auce. The lectur? was illustra
ted with about 75 stereopticon
slides, many of which were re
productions of actual photographs
"f battle sceues aud Red Cross
relief work in France and Bel
gium. The speaker took up briefly
the history of war relief from
tiu; tiaie of Florence Nightingale,
who organized a hospital service
for the English army iD the Cri
mean war and by her work of
mercy reduced the - mortality
among the wounded from 70 per
cent to only 6 or 7 per cent with
in a comparatively short time
Pictures and a brief sketch of
Clara Barton, who organized and
was the first president of the
American Red Cross, were also
given.
Perhaps the most touching
pictures shown were those of the
little Belgian children who were
made orphans and rendered
homeless by the ruthlessness of
the Huns when they invaded
and destroyed that garden spot
of Europe. More than 25,000 of
these little victims of hate and
In-rror are now being cared for
by the American Red Cross.
Following the lecture Prof.
Powers, who is now engaged in
field work for the northwest di
vision of the Red Cross, which
includes Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, met with the executive
committee of the Morrow County
Chapter when an informal dis
cussion of the work of this chap
ter was bad. Prof. Powers had
only words of praise for the
magnitude of the work already
accomplished by this chapter as
well as for the thoroughness
with which it had been carried
on. lie also made a number of
helpful suggestions about the
work and stated that a number
of changes in methods for carry
ing on the work are now being
worked out aud will be announ
ced soon. These new methods,
it is believed, will simplify and
systematize the organization,
(hereby adding to its efliciency
in accomplishing the great work
which still lies before it.
