By JUDsoN c. wELLlvER.

Business interests are awaiting with
intense interest the handing down Of a
number Of decisions and opinions by tho
Federal Trade Commission. which are
promised within a very short time. and
are expected to give a clear idea Of the
disposition Of that organization toward
the complex business problems II has
been directed to handle.
Something like a half-hundred cases
are close to the point OF determination.
scope OF conditions and circumstances.
and to provide ample opportunity for the
commission to indicate It's predictions
in regard to government and regulation
OF business. ....
To Point Way Business May Go.
II the number of impending decisions
may seem large. the number OF cases
that have been disposed OF without any
formal recorded opinion Is yet more
suggestive OF the policy Of the COM
mission. About $50 cases have been laid
before the commission and the great
majority Of them have been disposed
OF without fling any opinions or max
Ing any record OF decisions or prece-
dents.
This is all in line with the determi-
nation of the commission that It will
not undertake. ,o n,,nisb business.
