Another Steel Giant

Milvaie-Oambria steel properties
This great merger now approximate

few weeks ago that much the same
sort Of merger fell through because
there was a difference OF opinion be-
tween two agenoes OF the national
Government as 20 whether II should
be permitted. There was every rea-
son. from the point OF view OF mod

sound economics. why such an
achievement should have been ap
proved and consumnated, but the
two Government bodies could not

At that time the Federal Depart
ment. OF Justice and the Federal
Trade Commission were at odds over
the proposed merging OF the Mid
vale. Inland and Republic Iron and
Steel companies. The Department Of
Justice held shat putting the proper
ties together would not violate the
Sherman law or the Clayton and the
Webb aots. The Federal Trade Com
mission on the other hand. took thu
ground that she merger would be
IN conflict with the law governing
the powers under which the commits
EoD functions. and so the Midvale
amalgamation then came TO nothing
through the unwillingness OF the
principals TO proceed with their
plan IN a Government situation so
confused and tangled.
It was a mistake chen for any part
Of ohe Government to Oppose the
contemplated merger. a mistake IN
respect OF the natural development
OF the steel business and in respect
OF the public interest. It would be

that the United States could no

that It IS better TO let the foreigner

leg gives that animal five legs. These

selves such on every occasion that
offers-that Is. those OF them who
are progressive" by virtue of in
surgency alone. Also those of them
| who have taken under their wing
certain bloc" programs dub them
selves ''progressives." But analysis
shows that the things most of these
'sprogressives" stand for differ little,
n any from what the party regulars
stand for-except in application. For
instance, the farm ''bloc" IS for
speoial aid to agriculture, and its
members call themselves progress
sives. The party regulars are for
special aid to shipping, and bloc"
members call them reacticuarles.
So It goes.
Unquesttonbaly there is an IN
creasing progressive element IN
both major parties. But this Is not
limited TO those who oppose regular
party leadership. Nor Is Il really
shared by many OF them. The lead
ers OF the Republican party in Con-
gress and the administration have
shown true progressivism in their
dealing with the nations needs. Es-
pecially has the President proved a
progressive Of the truest type-for
he has undertaken to steer the ad-

aTbles It to meet the nations needs
