In each such case, you will find
that under a MIRA "code," the
leaders in the particular industry
are conducting a cartel which is
endeavoring to control production
and fix prices. They fear that
without the code, sanctioned by
NRA, their combination would be
disrupted, and their members be
forced to compete.
The chief interest of such "busl.
ness leaders" lies in the exemption
from the antitrust law penalties
which they have obtained under
their codes.
This attitude or policy on the
part of some business men is
both politically inept and eco
nomically short-sighted. 1t is bad
politics. In the long run, it is
bad business.
In the first place, the people
of this country are going to
sanction no monOpOlistic COM
binationS in private hands. If
there is to be any monopoly, it
is going to be publicly controlled,
either by government ownership
or by close regulation.
The sooner our business lead
ers" get that into their heads, the
better.
If they really want. to fix upon
themselves a system of government
supervision and RECOMMENDATION,
they can find no Surer way than
to go ahead with their price-fiXing
and competition-reStralnlng codes.
In the second place, they fail to
see that the only way to reach a
permanent solution of their diff
culties is to reorganize their in
dustries on a competitive basis.
For example, we may be sorry
for those in the textile industries.
We may regret the Improbable
and excessive capacity which ap.
pear to exist. But why should
those industries, or others in a
similar condition, expect the pub.
lie to subsidize them and pay for
the mistakes they have made?
The only socially beneficial
way to clean up such conditions
is to get rid of the least eff
cient producers, so that supply
may be adjusted to demand on
the basis of the lowest possible
costs and prices.
One way to do that is through
a fair competitive struggle for
existence. Is there any other
way" If there is, am sure it
would have to seek the same
results that fair competition
would bring.
The fact is that the system Of
individual initiative and of pri.
vate property in the instruments
of production (Which is capital
ISM, is the system of competi'
ton.
If business men want to pre-
serve business, they have got to
compete.
This means that they must
prove Lnelr efficiency ana Lnelr
ability to supply consumers as
cheaply as possible. The only way
to prove these capacities is to
meet the test of competition.
Broadly considered. the com.
petitive process is the means Of
free individual choice, and the
only basis for determining OBJ
jectively the values of economic
goods and services. Looked at in
this way, it is a constructive
force which we should seek to
preserve.
These business leaders who
seek to restrain it, and to set
up mOnopOlistic practices in its
place. are surely leading "busi-
ness" to destruction. They are
playing into the hands of the
social planners" and forging

Scores of persons took advantage
of the conditions and balancing
themselves on the shore stone,

All along the stream for the three

White River, all sorts of fish were in

Residents of the area said that
the contamination has been poured
from one to two times a week into
Big Eagle Greek for the last six
months.
Complaints declared pollution has
been dumped into Little Eagle Greek
but that it killed not only the fish
but also the vegetation along the
edge of the stream.
This killing of the vegetation, they
say, reduced the water level in the
stream after several years 10 point
where there was no water at all in
the bed except when it raired.

Britain, Italy Split

Copyright. 1885. by United Pressl
LONDON, July 20.-Great Britain
has refused bluntly to accede to
Italian demands for complete over
lordship in Ethiopia and insists that
any settlement be based on the
Briand-Kellogg anti-war pact as
well as other treaties, it was said
on reliable authority today.
Italy has persistently demanded
complete political domination of the
ancient empire in secret negot:a-
tions, it was said, and Great Britain
has as persistently refused to &C
cede. The sharpness of disagree
ment has brought to a temporary
stalemate diplomatic conversations
in London, Paris and Rome. though
efforts to arrive at peaceable set
Element have not been abandoned.
Great Britain is eager to arrange
in lieu of suggested conference
of French, italian and British for
eign ministers at Paris-a joint talk
at Rome of Premier Benito Musso-
lini, Count Charles de Chambrun,
French ambassador. and Sir Eric
Drummond, British ambassador.
But no basis for such a conference
has been found. ~

FOR CITY TOMORROW
Relief From Excessive Heat
to Be Slight.

Sunday motorists and golfers
probably will have to dodge thunder
showers, but tomorrow's rains will
not clear up the humid, muggy at
mosphere that has been hanging
over this city for the last five days,
j. H. Arlington, meteorologist of
the Indianapolis weather bureau Of
flee, said this afternoon.
The high pressure field extended
this morning from the Atlantis sea-
board to the central plain states,
and there can be little change in
temperature until the eastern pres
sure field breaks up and moves out
into the Atlantic Ocean, he said.
When that happens the pressure
will be relieved here, and cool winds
will come in from the North and
West. Sometimes this humid atmos-
pheric condition hangs on for two
or three weeks, Mr.. Arlington
pointed out.
