C. @. P. Guerrilla Tactics
Not Matter Of Ethics

which his publication sought to pros
per by unfair methods? Is II because
the Curtis publishing company was
found guilty OF the use Of unfair and
Illegal methods of competition and OF
violation of the antitrust law prohibit
ing use of certain tying end contracts
and of violation OF the federal trade
commission ruling? The complaint In
each case was based upon the fact that
the Curtis Publishing company made
contracts with wholesale distributors
which prevented them from handling
other publications without permission
from the Curtis Publishing company,
and which prohibited the sale OF all
Competing publications.
'The plan Of the cArtis Publishing
company was with the intent and had
the effect of largely increasing circula-
ton OF Curtis publications and un-
fairly decreasing circulation of Compel
ing publications to the end that the
Curtis Publishing company would derive
4arge advertising rates by reason OF tre-
mendous circulation. These unfair prac'
tices prevented competing publishers
from obtaining distribution Of their pub
LEGATIONS through the ordinary distribute
ing channels and forced them IN
distribute through channels which did
not have any facilities for a wide dis
trihuton. Proof of these unlawful
practices was found by the federal trade
after extensive hearings on
July 81. 1919. and the Curtis Publishing
company was forced to cease and desist.
Here IL the harm Of the. reactionary
desire for return to normally. The pro-
lection Of the antitrust act is INSULT
cient: but the federal trade commission
has authority to investigate the facts
and to issue rulings thereon. Every
unfair business In America IL therefore
g gainst me because I do not stand for
the return TO the old order under which
the strong prospered at the expense Of
the weak and under which big busi-
grew bigger while smaller businesses

1.-THE insidious purpose OF the SatuT-
day Evening Post cloaked under nom
partisan methods for the past decade
and more has finally been brought to
light. II has grown TO such size and
gained such prosperity as to be EN-
boldened beyond all discretion and has
expressed what, In my mind, is the
thing which is causing all big business

that they know that from me
they may expect a square deal and

tween n square deal and that which big
