MERGER ALLOWED.
Baking Combination Given
Clean Bill by Leading Fed
eraI Trust Busters"
BY j. {. ROYLE.

The Federal Government has ap.
piled the acid test to the new S400,.
100000 bakery merger and has given
it a clean bill of health. The pur-
chase of stock in the General Baking
Co. by William B. Ward and forma-
ton of the General Baking Corpora
tion have been thoroughly looked
over, not only by officials of the
Federal Trade Commission but by
some of the most efficient trust
busters of the Department of JUS
tice. Their reports indicate that it
appeared from the information Sc
cured in connection with the report
ed merger that many of the news
paper reports regarding 1t were not
we'll founded, and, in view of these
facts, there appears to be nothing
further requiring the attention or
action of the Government at this
time.
Aims to Eliminate Waste.
This conclusion was forecast by the
writer in his dispatch on the day on
which the proposed merger was an.
nounced. At that time he pointed out
the scope of the proposal. which is
expected to involve eventually the
holdings of the Ward Baking Corpora
ton, Continental Baking Corpora ton
and perhaps some others engaged in
the same line of industry 1t was

also shown that the object of the
merger was not a trust fund and
not the domination of either material
or bread prices, but the elimination
Of waste through comprehensive buy
ing, production, distribution and
marketing.
Merely Holding Corporation.
1t is understood that Government
authorities were satisfied that the
General Baking Corporation Is merely
a holding corporation. That is, it does
not Itself produce bread or bread prod.
ucts. It Is. therefore, impossible to
prosecute the concern under the anti
trust laws since competition has not
been checked or stif1ed.
The General Baking Corporation as
a holding company does not produce
bread and can therefore acquire stock
of concern which does. Also, it is
said, that Government authorities re-
ceived the assurance of officers of the
General Baking Corporation that any
further acquisitions by the General
Baking Corporation would be through
the purchase of assets and not through
the purchase of stocks or securities,
and that the objects Of the corpora
tion include the production of better
bread at lower cost, of Improvement
in sanitary precautions safeguarding
the public, in maintenance of food
values and in elimination of waste
efficiency of management.
Decisions Held Vital.
In the latter connection is to be
noted that the American Federation of
Labor has just charged that 90 per
cent of the waste in industry is di-
rectly attributable to inefficiency of
management as against 25 per cent to
inefficiency in labor and 25 per cent to
other causes.
The real Importance of the decision
of the Federal authorities in connec-
tion with this merger lies in the fact
that it gives assurance to business
men and corporations all over the
country that mere size is not feared
by the Government.
The Government is not disposed to
interfere in the expansion of industry
along legitimate lines. and this decision

money rates. which had been the
cause Of heavy liquidation Of the last
few Gays, was attributed to a variety
OF factors by stock market observers.
Chief of these was the widespread
speculative belief that the new tax
bill. hearings on which begin in Wash

a substantial reduction in taxes.
The announcement that Secretary
Mellon would propose a maximum
surtax of 20 per cent lend color to
this belief.
Comment was also heard that the

been given or have obtained by their
own efforts many opportunities in
politics. OF that number a very
large percentage have succeeded, not
only as well as men, but in many
cases better.
Q. That's a rather startling state
ment to make. I have heard of
women claiming to be the equal of
men in public life, but never their SUI
perior. How do you account for
their greater success?
a. | did not mean to be under
stood to say that women have sue
ceeded in politics in many cases bet
ter than men because they have any
more inherent ability. Where they
have succeeded better than men it has
not been because of any greater apti-
tude but because of their conspicuous
ness in politics. The greater scru-
tiny resulting therefrom has forced
them TO evince greater ability than
the average unnoticed political in
cumbent. Partly, also, have they
succeeded better in office than men
because, as I have said, they have
rounded out the needs of community
life by sponsoring policies which are
near to a woman's heart, such as
child welfare, etc.
* x X
Q. Have you found women TO be
more moral in politics than men?
A. l should say that there are
not vet enough women in strategic
political positions to generalize as
to whether they are more moral than
men in politics. For instance, we
condemn as immoral the trading Of
votes by political bosses at the head
of political units such as the ward
and the city. AS yet women have
not become bosses. Some of the
worst crimes OF politics are done by
Evening star., 1925-11-15

the underworld boss. Women have
not become underworld bosses as
yet. But, frankly, 1 don't look for
women to reform the political world
morally.
Q. Do you think today that the
majority Of women are interested In
the ballot or the holding Of office.
A. Yes. l do. / don't think that
the majority. however. is anywhere
near as large as 1t should be. But in
my opinion there is no question about
in the ballot and the holding of Of
flee.
O. Do you think that the women
who go into politics are of the fem
mist type or that going into politics
makes them feminists?
A. Yes. the feminist type goes into
politics, but they are comparable to
the shock troops of an army. The
shock troops do not win the battle,
but they break the ground for an ad.
vance. Because feminists have led
the advance that does not mean that the
aggressive type Of woman is going to
remain as the sole representative of
women in politics. To me it is always
confession of weakness for a wom-
an to appear masculine. Women
only by relying upon her own quail
ties and being her natural self In
politics can succeed. Never by aDing
the outward appearance of men,
X n X
Q. What do you think about the
fact that we have two woman gov
ernors and two Congresswomen? Do
you think that they were elected on
the basis of their abilities and quail
fications?
A. In the case of the woman gov
ernors l think sympathy and personal
reasons played a great part in their
