that should have been handled bv
the Federal Trade Commission in
the first place
F. I. c. Machinery Available.
If there are abuses in intailment
financing of automobiles, and doubt
less here and there some will be found,
the Federal Trade Commission is the
body to determine what fair trade
practices shall be promulgated after
hearings and the taking of testi-
mony. The Department of Justice for
some unexplained reason started a
grand jury inquiry to get evidence
which would have been available in a
Federal Trade Commission inquiry or
a civil suit.
II any automobile companies are
violating the Sherman antitrust law,
the commencement Of civil suit spe-
cifically asking that itemized prac-
tices be restrained Is the usual way
to get the facts and apply through
court injunctions or DEGREES the hand
OF Government to break up monopoly
or unfair competition. In this in
stance, the outcome may yet be civil
suits which, of course, are understand
able, though much better way would
be to have the Federal Trade Com
mission investigate and issue cease
and desist' orders in the regular way.
Objective Questioned.
More important than procedure is
the objective. u it the purpose of
the Government to make it more diff

cars and for dealers to convince the

fessor OF agricultural economy of
Harvard, and Joseph 8. Davis of the
Wheat Institute of Leland Stanford,
who demolished the A. A. A. in 4

Do they know that the Senate farm

Do the farmers realize that If it

employe of the Federal Government?
That the Governments quota will de-
termine the price and value Of his
farm?
Has Congress asked any competent

with comprehensive and constructive
program, which represents a very
great amount of concession and COM
promise. A statesman-like business
program. But the President does not
want Mr.. Wilkie TO issue the program
TO the press, it seems. Instead, he
issues a version Of the conversations
between himself and Mr.. Wilkie.
