tuted unfair competition and was unlaw-
full. 1t issued orders forbidding their con-
tinuation. The highest courts have upheld
the commission in this instance.
CTS THIS attempt by Government 70
introduce honesty into its commercial
life a new thing?" l wanted to know.
The United States" Chairman Thomp-
son explained, lis the first Government in
the world to put such a law into effect. So
novel was the idea that the commission has
found it necessary to overcome great
inertia with regard to such matters and to
awaken the public to the possibilities that
lie within them. The commission holds, for
instance, that an individual crime COM
mitted against the law, as. for example,
burglary, should, of course, be punished,
but that its punishment is unimportant to
the public As compared with violation Of
the provision against unfair competition. The
removal of such a practice, for example, as
selling short weight butter directly affects
millions of households in the United States
every day in the year. The removal of the
receptions with relation to twenty of the
standard articles which are used by q
family directly affects every family in
twenty different ways In everyday life. For
these reasons we are apt to become very
earnest over the enforcement of these laws
and are likely to tend a good deal toward
evanselistic advocacy of them.
The example that has been set by the
United States in the establishment of the
Federal Trade Commission is today being
followed BY a number of other nations. Can
ada for example made a similar pro-
vision tending toward enforced honesty in
business, modelling her law upon ours. Other
nations-Engand, South Africa, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway-and individual States
in the United States have followed suit. 1t
looks a though q general awakening as to
the desirability of more ethical methods in
some lines of business might sweep the
world.
The old adage, Let the buyer BEWARE,
which has controlled in business for cen

showed that it was not of Partisan origin.
1t was, therefore, obviously misbranded.
1t was found, also, that ornaments were
made of this celluloid and used in jewelry
and for dress trimmings and advertised as
jet. 1t was, of course, not jet. Celluloid
appeared in other forms and masqueraded
rs amber. All of these masquerades were
eiassed as false branding and were pro-
hibited.
Another early deception which was
brought to the attention of the Federal
Trade Commission was that of loading
sponges. Sponges, in the market, sell BY
weight. This custom being established, GER
tain producers of sponges, chiefly of foreign
extraction, devised a method of adding
weight to them. This was done by intro
ducing glucose and sand which stuck to the
sponges and was retailed by weight at reg
ular sponge prices. The firms resorting to
this method could, of course, undersel on
the weight basis those who marketed clean
sponges. The men of higher ideals in the
trade, who I am glad to say were in the
majority, brought the situation to our at
tention. The practice constituted unfair
competition and We have very seriously
attempted to do away with it.
"1IRTUALLY all cases which we inves-
tgate come to US at the instigation Of
some business house or organization and are
not inaugurated by the commission. 1t han
pened, for instance, that numbers of mer
chants all over the country wrote to US pro-
testing that certain great mail order house
was making claims to the public which
gained for them an advantage in selling Ger.
tain products. This mail order house. for
instance, made the claim that its posie&on

that 1t handled gave it a material adyantas.

materials all over the world, and of supe

1t sent its agents abroad to purchas. t..
directly from the gardens where it WAS nro.

tuted a thorough investigation Of these

the mail order house bought its supplies of
coffee. tea and sugar from the wholesalers

exactly the same coffees, teas and sugars as
