In the same ilifi Toronto, July 17th, 1917 "'"--- The Company does not challenge either the legal or moral right of the Govern- ment to investigate business enterprises when public interests directs such an investigation should be made. If an investigation of the packing and meat business is ordered, the Company will place " the disposal of the Government' not only the data it would be required to sugply under order-in-cot/iid directing that inquiry be made, but will place t 0 experience of its ol%ers at the disposal of the investi sting committee, if it is considered they can render any service which will he of value. The Company has not now-nor at any time during the My years of its tttrc-eye?'. to conceal in method or practice of carrying on its business. t does, however. Sl,!,',,' the right to con- duct its export business without abusive comment from Government civil servants-es ecially when the conclusions drawn from the data asked for are improper and) false.' One of Canada's chief export industries is the packing business. It is essential to the live stock industry, and, along with other export industries, it maintains the finamnhst stability of this country, and should, providing it is on a sound basis, receive encouragement and not s anderous abuse. In view of the ublicity given to the report of the Commissioner on the cost of living. the (ibmpany demands the same publicity in having an oacial Government investigation of this report to determine the truthfulness or untruthfulness of its conclusions. We do not seek public consideration as a company, but we do say that untruth- tdl official statements, or statements the 'sfrsaeft A: men. so . - --rv... - Hum men: deduced an erroneous "margin" which the newspapers have interpreted as "profit," The author of the inquiry shows a strange lack of even a funda- mental knowledge of simple bookkeeping and a dangerous inability to co-ordinate figures. The following are trpecitie and outstanding errors in the report: The principal item that is causing excitement deals with cold storage bacon. The term C'c9ltGtoraire'i is not defined. and the public is allowed to make its own definitions. As all Bacon in a packing house is under refrigeration it is really all ttold-storage, and therefore this Company's flgures ot cold storage Bacon represent the complete quantity ot Bacon handled in its entire Plant, whether in freezers or in process of cure for immediate shipment. That some com- uau Winter the Commissioner, under authority of Or4er-irrCouniQ required packers to submit statements under oath for some years back and up to December Ist. 1916, of incoming stocks of Meats and the cost of such, as well n statements of outgoing product and the selling value. This Company represented in writing at the time that the information as specifically required was not in accordance with Packing House Accounting methods, and invited the Commissioner to send an Officer to the Head Office of the Company to examine the books for any information desired. and to secure a viewpoint as to the best way of collecting data which would be of use to the Government, This offer was declined, and there was nothing to do but fill in the in- formation required as literally " we could determine it. For example, there was no recognition of the fact that a raw product may enter a factory under a tspecific elassitieistioa and leave the factory as a tiaished product under some other classification. We submitted a series of accurate figures based upon our interpretation of the official requirements which made no provision for charges of any description other than incoming freight and unloading charges to be Included in the cost or ' to be deducted from the selling price. There was nothing in the report which could be read so as to determine a profit and loss statement. The very fact that with only a statement based upon cost of raw products and value of sales in Great Britain a Government Official has deduced "Large margins," '/Ptoiiteerhik" and "Criminality" if it had occurred since the passage of a recent Act, shows too dangerous 3 triding and incapacity to be permitted.to deal with any important situation. The statements of this Company have been treated by the author of this report as if the out-going product was identical with the incoming product. and from the series of reports he has singled out two items-the Bacon and Egg reports~and from them deduced an erroneous "margin" which tteorteyspaperristG interpreted in “mam " L, prof) ts' ', f I ‘HE statement issued by the Department of Labor concerning the business of The William Davies Company Limited has been given widespread circulation throughout the country and provoked public unrest. ' Whatever the technical wording of the report was, the effect has been that the newspapers have published that "the profits on Bacon alone" of this Company "for 1916" were about "tive millions of dollars." This interpretation of the official report is not surprising in view of certain statements that the Commissioner of the Cost of LLving makes.
