U. S. MEAT BARONS
SEE NO LOWERING
OF MEAT PRICES
CHICAGO.; April 12. The Amer
ican Meat Packers association in a
statement Issued today declares that
lower prices for meat may not be ex
pected until the war-stricken coun
tries of Europe are enabled to resume
their quota of production.
The statement reads in part:
' "That high prices are caused large
ly by heavy demands rather than any
f control aimed to stimulate production
has recently been illustrated - very
-clearly in the case of hogs. When
the minimum price fixed for hogs
was removed,' the food administra
tion predicted that the prices might
go still higher. 'The prediction is
.npw being verified.
,'"Higk prices will continue for a
; long time. Each day that brings final
peace nearer means a greater , call on
this country tor meat. The supply
of meat Js dependent first of all on,
the supply of livestock. " European
herds have been reduced by war.
"Livestock on farms in the United
States at the beginning of this year
exceeded the number at the begin'
nlng of 1918 by 1,036,000 cattle, 4
213,000 hogs and 963.000 sheen.
"But the armistice, instead of hav
ing reduced the demand tor meat
has given us more than 200,000,000
additional mouths to feed, ; either
wholly or in part. As shipping hi
comes available, an increasing nam
ber of hungry nations will be acces
sible for provisioning.'
ONE umy talk until blue in 'tluv face ulnint tho Lcmguo
of Nations but the issue in the last analysis is this,
some sort of League-, of Nations or the ruin of moderu
civilization. ,' ; ,
; This does, not menu that no criticism of tho terms of
the Covenant should be made. ThOVahuvof sincere and
honest criticism .has been demonstrated,, by the recent
amendments to the former, draft. . ' s
But friends of tho league while naturally desiring tho
best working arrangement that can' bo secured, neverthe
less feel that sonic international organisation, even with
sonic minor delects, is prererable to no organization at ail.
For the alternative to no League of Nations is 'plainly
to return to the old system of the balance of power. And
tho balance of power means a return to largo standing
amnes. large navies, the inci-ease of debts and taxes upon
a world already staggering under obligations tuat only
ircnerations of peace can liquidate. And tins meaiis,
precisely what it meant in Russia,a complete overturn of

riSK tne aereat 01 me league, uy insisting upon minor
chancres, which however desirable, might be 'disregarded
for the present,, without defeating the fundamental pur
pose of the covenant, which is the establishment ot a Oct
ter and safer world. , ; : -: -
The world war has plainly demonstrated, tliat modem
civilization can not .stand modern warfare, luissia waa
the first to break -under it, but it is a, matter of common
knowledge that six months more, would have tound all
Europe in a similar predicament. And it should bo noted
that among the bitterest opponents of the League of Na
tions are Leuine and Trotzky. yYhy ' Because they
realize the best friend of Bolshevism is war, ami its Avorst
enemy peace. In other words the seeds of Bolshevik de
struction lie within itself, only requiring the germination
influence of peace and order, to demonstrate the lesson
that civilization to endure can no more tolerate the tyran
ny and autocracy of a class, than the tyranny and auto
cracy of a nation. - I y , -

PARIS, Friday, April 11. Herbert
C, Hoover, the food administrator.
has issued a statement with regard to
the feeding' of Russia. The 'itata
ment says: ; ' "'- v-'
With regard to ithe rumors, of
food relief to Russia. Mr. . Hoover
stated that numbers of projects from
various sources have been laid beforo
him for provisioning the people "in
the larger cities ot Russia. Qr. Nan
son (bead of the Norwegian food
mission - to the United States') and
other eminent neutrals came to Paris
sometime ago with proposals for
relief (words missing) of the first
order and. have "therefore all been
referred to the council of tour as
they arose.' --,
The relief - administration has!
carried on a great deal of investiga
tion as to the actual food conditions
In Russia. The gravity of the situa
tion cannot bo over-estlmatod. A
very conservative estimate would in
dicate that upward ot two hundred
thousand people arc dlreatly or indi
rectly dying from the food shortage
monthly at the present moment and
the situation is likely to grow in in
tensity as the season progresses., ,
."Our. reports would indicate that
the children who. attend the schools
are being reasonably cared for, that
the Red Guard Is receiving a suffic
ient ration but that the burdon of
the shortage falls upon. the middle,
upper and Intellectual classes and
threatens their considerable . extinc
tion before the next harvest. How far
this Will be the practical result, how
ever, la a little difficult to determine
because of the great migration to tho
country- ,Tne 'population of Petro
grad has decreased by .70 per cent."
