HOOVER PLEADS
fcontinued from Paue One,

Dramatically to prevent great consol-
idations that might dominate pro-
duction and distribution,
1--WE find in various countries, en-
couragement being given to combin-
atoms and agreements between ex-
porters and manufacturers whose OBJ
ject is again to dominate certain
trades. We find encouragement be-
ing given to combinations of import
ers and thus the development of pow
er to dictate prices and the yield of
labor in exporting countries.
"AIl this is of vital interest. not
only to us, but to many other states.
1t represents tendency toward mil
liant exploitation and domination of
commerce of which the whole COM
mercial world must take notice. The
processes have not yet reached d.
mansions that make remedy impos-
sibIe The danger of further drift in
these policies is not alone a danger
in the extinction of individualism. It
can, if it goes on, become a menace
to the peace of the world"
