WASHINGTON. Thurman w. Ar
mold, and his trust-busting proclivi-
ties, are a problem not only for
business men worried about what to
do IN the war emergency, but to
certain other officials of the govern
ment. The whole question revolves
around the fixing of prices.
The government as whole, from
President Roosevelt down, is de-
termined that there shall not be
profiteering, either at the expense
of the belligerents or of the Ameri-
can consumers. There is no dis
agreement about that, and, to be
fair about it, there is no important
dissent by most of the manufacture
ers and retailers represented in
Washington through their trade
groups.
The business men say that. they
cannot control rise iE cost Of the
raw materials, or of labor, but they
have no desire to push prices higher
than these two elements of expense
require. They are remembering the
dehation that followed the last war.
But when it comes to how TO pre-
vent unreasonable advances in cost,
Old Man Worry walks in the door.
There are two. obvious ways to
accomplish it. One would be by gov
eminent price fixing, as was done,
in part. by the Lever act in the last
war. Chief objection to this, strange
~ enough, comes not from the bust
ness men involved, though they
don't like government price fixing,
but from the government. Few on
the government side who remem-
Der how the Lever act worked last
time would be willing to risk it
again.

W ould Permit Business to
Reach Price agreements

AsNNsft = 8 f11 - 8 &NfaNftAo
The other solution would be to per-
init business itself to reach price
agreements in its various lines. That
appeals to the business men, natur-
ally. 1t also appeals to some of the
administration executives, especial
~ in the department of commerce.
But not to Mr.. Arnold.
In fact, the department of justice
is waving the big stick on antitrust
prosecutions as never before, threat
ening to prosecute all and sundry.
Arnold gets lot of publicity for
his speeches and his gestures
against combinations in restraint
Of trade" There is perfectly good
legal precedent in high court deci-
sions that il is just as contrary to
the letter and spirit of the antitrust
laws for competitors to agree TO re-
.duce prices as it is for them to
agree to raise prices.
There is more logic in this, Incl
dentally, than sounds possible if one
is thinking only about the problem
which now confronts the government
the prevention of profteering. But
when the law was framed its de-
signers. also had another practice in
mind which was, at that time, very
much in the public mind with re-
gard to the alleged practices of the
wicked monopolles.
The problem remains, however,
how to regulate without anyone do
ing the regulating, and especially
not the folks regulated!
United States Facing
Big Decline in Exports
Our European competitors for
South American trade have left
American manufacturers a market
crying for wares, but without much
Of the wherewithal to pay for them.
And the European market for many
of our products has dried up be-
cause Of the war.
Take the automobile makers, for
example. They find that their mar
ket in Scandinavia, which was pref
ty good, has disappeared, to all
practical purposes, because of the
shortage of gasoline. Rigorous re-
strictions on the use of gasoline
have played havoc with practically
every corner of Europe, with Aus
tralia, South Africa and many other
parts of the world. 1t is not ques-
ton of world shortage Of gasoline, or
of war demands for this precious
fluid. 1t is purely, SO far, question
of ships to carry the gasoline to
would-be purchasers.
The worst phase Of this is that
there is no silver lining to the cloud.
There is no prospect Of the world
having enough shipping again until
after the war is over, and perhaps
for some little time after that. Ships
are being destroyed at a prodigious
rate.
Britain hopes to surmount this diff
ficulty by conveys, but it is a real
optimist who figures that there will
be conveys to get gasoline to Swe-
den, Norway and Denmark. 1t would
not suit the purposes Of the British
French high command to have an
ample supply of gasoline so close to
Germany anyhow. Some of it might
trickle Through in response to Ger

Bars american Ships From
Trading With British Ports

Curiously enough, the original
agreement provided that British
ships should haul half the cotton
and half the rubber. This was
changed, later, at the request of the
British, so that now the agreement
provides that all the cotton is to be
hauled in British ships, and all the
rubber in United States bottoms.
But the neutrality act would bar
United States ships from trading
with the British ports in the East
from which the rubber is exported
Moreover, the bill has plenty of
teeth, if no change is made to recog-
nize these practical conditions. For
instance, an American ship stopping
at Singapore for rubber, or Sidney
for wool, would make her owners
liable to fine of $50, 900, not to men,
ton Imprisonment for up to five
years.
The tragic part OF it all is that in
recent years, after decades OF stu
pid bungling and terrific waste Of
money and effort, the United States
had really been building up a good
merchant marine. Moreover, many
additional ships are under construc-
tion or contract. Regardless Of how
trade with Latin America is de-
veloped - remembering that of
course all British and French pos
sessions in that part Of the world
would be barred to our ships by
this bill il enacted In its present
form--it will not be sufficient TO
maintain the present, and building,
United States. merchant marine if
our ships are to be barred from the
rest OF the world.

He sounded the "crying need for

I'VE in the district attorneys Office

Jurisdiction to reduce and prevent

1--WE are endeavoring to let the
word 60 out to those engaged IN
criminal activities, by our conduct
and attitude" he said, that Wash
ington is no safe place for criml-
mails. We have endeavored to let
them know by our conduct that
those charged with crime will be in
dicted and tried with vigor and
without delay"
More than 60 per cent of cases,
he reported, are tried in three weeks
and 80 per cent within four weeks.
During the last fiscal year, he said,
There was a reduction of Is per
cent in the number of indictments
returned over the preceding year,
which indicated a reduction Of Is
per cent in crime"
A vivid word picture of the crowded
conditions in the present courthouse
was drawn by the United States
attorney. Eleven agencies are
housed in the building, he pointed
out, in addition to the court itself
"At the present time" he said
three of the District judges have

not make for the efficient admins

In appealing to the association
to support the move for q new court
house building to house the court
and its necessary adjuncts, with
room for expansion in the future,
Mr.. Pine explained: This will not
mean the abandonment or destruc-
ton Of the old courthouse, as am
certain that another useful and ap-
propriate purpose could be found for
it. Certainly" he emphasized, mo
building of such classic beauty and
historical significance should be
destroyed. But I am urging the
necessity for a new courthouse on
another site in the interest of the
proper administration OF justice"
In opening his address Mr.. Pine
paid high tribute to the association.
Tonight is within one year Of your
diamond anniversary" he reminded
his hearers. "Seventy-four years of
continuous existence indicates that
you are here to stay. 1t demon
strates that the foundations Of this
great association rest on the solid
granite of devotion to the public
good. No organization founded on
less unselfish motives could have
lasted that long. Only an organi-
zation devoted to the public good
and public welfare is capable of a
span of life even now greater than
the Biblical threescore years and
ten.
I'VE should maintain a youthful,
venturesome forward looking atti-
tude toward devices and means for
improvements of our social, eco
nomic and political conditions" Mr..
Pine declared. But, in addition
to this attitude, and not antagonis-
tic to it, we should vigorously main
