Mo- Quarrel With Business.

"Our constructive program OF anti
trust legislation has no Quarrel with
large business organizations as such.
On the contrary we recognize thai
business efficiency in production can
be attained only through business or
ganization. But we demand that the
government be clothed with all the
necessary power to crush monopoly
with all its attendant evils.
"Contrasted with this program We
have the Democratic antitrust pro-
gram now under discussion in the
Senate of the United States. That
program proves the inadeguacy OF
THE Democratic party for the present
and the future of the nation. 1t ic,

party, the party opposed to strong
federal action. the party afraid OF

Eve cannot control our great ma
tional business without power. ma
ltional power. But the Democrats
dare not use power themselves. nor
let anyone else have 1t. Their trust
program, as 1t stnads today, Is made
futile by this fear. Their official adj
ADMINISTRATION bills propose a weak
federal trade commission, with no
power except to investigate and re-.
port. They fear to give the gov
ernment the strength to cope with
corporate abuses They fear to give
the commission power to prevent un-
flair trade practices. Indeed, their
measure would hardly give the COM
mission power really to investigate,
much less to destroy by proper adj
ministrative order, monopolics based
on the exclusive possession of a fac
tor essential to production. To the
powers of investigation and recon-
mendation which the bill proposes
to give to the commission, so far as
they so, we have no objection. 1t is
the inadequacy of the commissions
power to destroy monopoly which
we condemn. Progressive congress-
men voted for the bill, not because
It represents an adequate attempt to
deal with a great problem, but IN the
hope that day will arrive when the
so-called trade commission will be
given sufficient power to make it a
real trade commission, such as our
national platform promises and such
as the bills which we have introduced
would provide.
Clayton Bill Wrong,
THE House of Representatives has
also passed a bill supplemental to
the Sherman anti.trust act. Many OF
the provisions of this bill deserve
Recommendation, especially those which
prohibit certain forms of unfair trade
competition which the colrts have
not as yet clearly condemned. but
which upright business man every
where recognize as wrong and tend
ing to monopoly. Similar provisions
will be found In the Progressive apti-
trust bills.
But the Clayton bill goes hope
lessly wrong in that it forbids spe-
cificalls any combination, or agree
lment in interstate commerce, be-
tween any two or mora corporations.
firms or individuals. which IN any
way lessons or restricts tile competi-
ton between them. This is the cub
of their whole position. They propose
