of stUpendous Importance. Congress has
taken giant strides along the path OF
Government regulation and control OF

and which can and should be given q
constantly increasing functional power.
The work Of legislation has been no
more important than the work done by
the Department Of Justice In executing
the laws, not only against corporations
and individuals who have broken the
antitrust or interstate commerce laWs
but against those who have been en-
