BIC BUSINESS POOLS ALLOWED.

Congress has finally adopted the
Pomerene bill, providing that our
big business houses can form pool
or combination or trust for purposes
of foreign trade. Representative
Young of North Dakota, who has
been fighting this legislation, points
out that it is a backward step in
trust legislation, and permanently
weakens our notional policy of break
ing up big combinations which de-
stroy competition in the field of COM
merce. He says that the beef trust.
the harvester trust. the binder twine
trust and the steel and copper trusts
will find it difficult to withstand the
temptation, when they can legally
reach a close understanding as to
the foreign market, to talk over the
home market as we'll. When they
reach an understanding on home
prices, the public suffers.
