UnshackIe Americas Export Trade.

/ II is greatly to be hoped that the block
ing Of action on the Webb bill by Repre-
sentative Buchanan will not be permitted
\ to endanger the chances of passage OF that
worthy measure. The bill is intended to
relieve American business men OF a great
I handicap under which they now labor IN
competing with fofreign rivals 1t speci-
cally exempts from the operations OF the
antitrust laws of 1890 and 1914 any cor
poration or association formed for the pur-
poses of export trade, provided that no acts
of such organization result in restraint OF
trade within the United States. The net
effect of this is to permit combinations OF
capital, and business agreements, between
Americans operating in export trade, thus
enabling them to meet the trade conditions
and practices of foreign business men.
The Federal Trade Commission has in
dorsed this measure, recommending lts
passage. If Americans are to engage with
hope of success in the contest for trade IN
the markets of the world, particularly
under such keen competition as may nat
urally be expected at the end of the great
war. they should be relieved of the artl
fetal restraints which now operate against
them. The race for business ought, in
Justice to this country, to become one In
which Americans could enter on equal
terms with other contestants. How much
general opposition to this course Mr..
Buchanan's dilatory tactics represent is
uncertain, but it ought not to be much, for
study of the bill and its purpose by the
business world is sure to bring forth APP
proval of it
Congress appears to be settling down to
the final rush Of work of the session. II
would be a great pity if adjournment
found this bill stranded. 1t deserves en-
actment into law.
