MORE TRUST STRATEGY

Packe rlegislation is about to be
reported to the senate from the COM
mittee nagriculture, of which Sena-
tor Gronna is chairman. Il Is pro-
posed by Senator Kenyon and Sena-
tor Ke<1rick that authority to watch
over the conduct of the packers, to
see that they do not violate he anti
trust laws and the laws against un-
fair competition, shall be taken away
from the federal trade commission
and given to separate board or COM
mission.
Senator Gronna and Senator Norris
are opposed to this transfer of au-
thority. They say that if the federal
trade commission is to be denied the
chance to make use of its great store
of knowledge of the packing industry,
and new body having no such know
ledge is to be given charge, the effect
will be to give the packers free rein
for another 10 or 20 years of lawless-
ness: Moreover. the very fact that
the federal trade commission is to be
deprived of this great field of control
over industry will discredit the COM
mission in the eyes of the public I'M
familiar with the situation, and that
it will. result in next depriving the
commission of it's authority over the
coal industry and perhaps the steel
and other basic industries. Congress
will have been emboldened to kill the
federal trade commission by starva-
ton.
