cised by private individuals is not ham,
pering the free functioning of compe-
tition. There are several ways to attain
this end, which contrast with the
method Of Government planning and
control.
Fne Of the ways to induce competition
is to remove certain tariffs behind which
special privilege industries are built. An
other is to use the Governments vast
spending power to break down the price,
fixing and production controls now in
effect IN number of highly important
industries. Still another is to modernize
the antitrust laws. One more is to force
incorporation of business under Federal
laws which will lay down the rules of
competition and provide swift punish
ment for violators. Another way is to
revise the patent laws, opening all pat
ents to general exploitation If not devel-
oped within three years. Then there is
talk of using the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. to provide capital for struggling
industries that have difficulty getting
capital from insurance companies and
banks.
The whole idea is to give play to initia-
tive and to remove special privileges that
have enabled some few controlling groups
of corporations and financial institutions
to get a firm grip on the bulk Of the
country's business.
Planners, however, say that the trend
toward concentration has gone too far
now to permit of correction through
competition. They argue that overall
Government control Is essential, as Euro
pean experience suggests. The oppo-
nents of planning, though, think differ
emily and they are going to have their
chance to show results in the months
ahead. Rugged individualists among
business men should be supporting the
opponents of planning now in the as
cendancy within the New Deal.

They had probably paid an extortionate
price for their passage in the belief that
money was to be picked up by the hand

ering themselves among strangers and
with only few dollars left of their little
store. they have made haste to get back
to their families and their old haunts
How little real necessity for such dis
couragement there is among the better
class of settlers is evident from the ex-
perience of the German peasants who
have poured into some of the border
States of the new South since the recon-
struction era. Astonishing as it seems,
it can be actually proved that a great
number of these people. reaching their
destination with scarcely a penny in
purse. have hired out the first year as
laborers on a farm, leased 1t the second
year and owned it the third. Nor are
these we'll educated or exceptionally

Wilson in Praha.

The presence of the American AM
bassador to Germany, Hugh R. Wilson,
in Praha, capital Of Czechoslovakia, for
the purpose of obtaining clear insight
into the Czech-Sudeten problem is only
a manifestation of the deep interest the
United States has in the forces which
determine the balance of power in
Europe.
Mr.. Wilson was not there, of course,
as a mediator or for any direct inter-
vention in the Sudeten negotiations, but
he was in position, by virtue of his
ambassadorial experience in Berlin. to
offer the knowledge he had gained there
to the statesmen who are seeking a
peaceful solution for the Sudeten auton-
omy demands.
It is a curious commentary upon the
workings of American diplomacy that
while Mr. Wilson was openly comforting
with Czech President Eduard Benes and
Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta on the
Sudeten situation and had luncheon with
Viscount Runciman, who is in Praha as
mediator and investigator, the State
Department here was denying that Mr..
Wilson's trip to Praha had anything to
do with the Czech question. The Amer
lean Minister in Czechoslovakia, Wilbur
j. Carr, however, did confirm the de-
tached-but keen-interest the United
States is taking in the outcome of Wis
count Runciman's efforts
Mr.. Carr as Assistant Secretary of
State before going to Praha, long favored
exchange of visits between diplomatic
representatives of the United States
abroad to keep them more accurately
informed on affairs at their posts. So
whether or not Mr.. Wilson takes an
active part in the pourparlers at Praha,
he is obtaining through personal con-
tact an insight into the true state of
affairs in Czechoslovakia.
This is important not because the
United States has any obligations toward
Czechoslovakia or any other government
interested in the Sudeten dispute, for it
has none, but because any new general
European conflict which might easily
grow out of the Nazi insistence upon
autonomy would have resounding effects
upon the foreign relations of the United
States.

The Pedestrian.

The Pedestrian.
He looked about with air distraught
And cried in tones of woe.
I'm wondering which way I ought
In quest of peace to go.
The streets are Allied with motor cars
Which pass me madly by.
And there are airships mid the stars
If I should learn to fly.
Zen in the ocean depths profound
Strange craft Id dodge In vain,
And should burrow meath the ground
I'll meet a subway train.
Unto a state of nervous stress
My life is surely linked.
My only chance for happiness
Is to become extinct"

New Russian Attack.

HAAe oAiCeAAoy VI 1SuSSldH PROFESSIONS OF
desire for peace with Japan along the
Siberian border is seriously challenged
by reports of attacks by Russian war
planes upon the strategic railway which
runs to Rashin, the new port on the Sea
Of Japan, from deep in the heart of
Manchukuo.
The contradiction between diplomatic
assurances in Moscow-that Russian
does not want war and is not provoking
one-and the facts as they are being re-
vealed in the Far East is so deep be-
cause warlike Soviet actions against
Japan are in no way consistent with the
Soviet Unions most vital interests,
namely, the protection of the masses of
her people in European Russia BY be-
coming involved in Far Eastern trouble
at moment which may serve Germany
admirably for coup against Czecho-
slovakia, Russia is exposing her entire
European flank to invasion and to the
possibility of combined attack on her
by the anti-communist bloc, Germany
Japan and Italy.
Partial explanation may be found in
the fact that the peace-professing Mos
COW statesmen are nearly 5000 miles
away from the trouble center and that
Marshal VASTLY Bluecher, chief of the
Far Eastern Red Army, constitutes vir-
tually law unto himself. He is in such
position of autonomy and independ-
ence of the Moscow moguls that if he,
like some of the other Russian generals,
should become alienated from the
regime Of Josef Stain he might easily
provoke war against the Soviet Union
On the other hand, he may be more
thoroughly convinced than his superiors
OF the need Of assisting China, and thus
out of sheer enthusiasm may be leading
Russia into conflict in the East.
At any rate, the most recent raid by
Russian bombers-24 of them-in the
disputed area near the conveyance of
the Siberian, Manchukuoan and Korean
borders was not upon Changkufeng Hill,
which ostensibly is the Russian OBJ
jective, but upon the Tumen-Rashin
railway, a vital ribbon of steel which
winds from Rashin through the wilder
ness to Kirin and Hsinking, the capital
of Manchukuo. This road, which is
Japan's lifeline into Manchukuo, was
completed only after her conquest of
Manchuria six years ago, and in case of
war between Russia and Japan it would
be valuable for speedy transportation of
troops to Hardin and Tsitsihar, the
natural bases for attack westward along
the old Chinese Eastern Railway against
Chita and the Lake Baikhal area.
Thus the Russian strategists appear
already to have entered upon wartime
tactics with view to Gripping before
the outbreak of war Japan's easiest
means Of reinforcing her army in Man
chukuo. Destruction of the Rashin line,
furthermore, would force Japan to trans
port the main body of her troops into
Mauchukuo by way Of Dairen and the
South Manchuria Railway, or through
Korea and Manchukuo, which would
partially remove the threat of an over
land attack against Vladivostok by way
Of the Tumen delta and the Siberian
coast Of the Sea of Japan.
Russia may be willing to settle the
border dispute, on her own terms, but
her military is evidently acting with one
eye on the probability of large scale war
fare by striking at the Tumen-Rashin
railway.

penalizing efficient large corporations in
order to keep alive inefficient corpora
tons. whether little or big. That, def
nitely. is what those now in the ascend
ancy do not have in mind.
What they do have in mind is this:
Over the years some industries have
been built into positions of power
through special tariff protection. Other
industries have managed, through trade
associations and otherwise, to build pri-
vate systems of price control. Banks and
insurance companies have undergone
concentration that represents power to
decide what shall be done with an i'm
portant part of the savings of the Nation.
Investigators already have evidence
that the largest companies in an indus
try. possessing the biggest reserves. very
often have the least stable employment
records and are most prone to fire their
workers wholesale in order to protect
prices by controlling production. They
also have discovered that industry Is
using this countrys patent laws in q
way that prevents development OF pat
ents affecting investments In plant and
equipment. while exploiting patents that
involve labor-saving devices.
There also is evidence that executives
of banks. controlling large numbers OF
industries, are attempting to run those
industries without any particular knowl-
edge of them, and with the sole object
of exploitation.
In other words, the believers in rugged
individualism want to show the public
what really is going on in business and
who really" is doing the planning and
controlling. These believers in rugged
individualism think they can show q
form of overall private control Of busi-
ness and investment in this country that
rivals the control in Fascist states.
Then, having made their case, they
want to make sure that the power exer-

climbed from 9l0, 800 to 2,370.000.
In 1915 production Of pig iron In
India amounted to 10000 tons, while

India's exports consist of modern manu-

India in trade for spices and other
exotic wares have passed. Even at the
time Of the World War India was pro-

South America is partaking Of the in
dustrial advances and is playing her
part in drawing industrial leadership
away from Europe. Brazil and Argen-
tina are producing steel and other heavy
goods in substantial quantities, but prob
ably Chile may be regarded as having
made the most spectacular advances.
South Africa and Australia are manu-
featuring increasingly and Canada ranks
high in the industrial scale. Thus, more
and more, the center of manufacturing
is being drawn away from the old West
