SHOULD CHANGE ATTITUDE.

The failure of the Webb bill, which would
have permitted combinations in foreign com
merce, increases the responsibility of the de
partment of justice and the federal trade COM
mission This measure. which had the support
of the president, the trade commission and the
National Foreign Trade Council was with
drawn because of opposition in the senate to
the plan to attach it to the revenue bill. 1t
did not authorize any violation of existing anti
trust laws, but merely gave assurance that
such combinations in export trade as have been
encouraged by the governments of other coun
tries are not illegal here.
Failure to enact it is disappointing, but there
is no reason why the government should not re-
move the doubt that has existed respecting the
right of manufacturers and exporters to estab-
lish joint selling agencies abroad. Possibly
this can be done through the trade commission,
which has shown intelligent interest in plans
to increase American foreign commerce under
normal conditions. Certainly it can be accom-
plished by change in the attitude of the at
torney generals Office toward trade combina-
tons. This attitude has been hostile; it
should be friendly. A simple announcement
that there will be no prosecutions under con
ditions contemplated by the trainers of the
Webb bill would be sufficient
The department of justice has given too
much attention to the work of prosecution and
too little to the protection of the rights OF
stockholders and the public. A change should
have come long ago Now it cannot be delayed

abroad when international competition be
