An Economist S
Viewpoint
By john T. Flynn

When Col. william Donovan of
New York was assistant attorney
general in the Coolidge administra-
tion he had bright idea for re-
organizing the Federal Trade Com
mission and the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
His plan was to divide the func-
tions of each commission into regu-
latory and judicial.
He proposed the Federal Trade
Commission, for instance, should
have no power to institute proceed
ingS against business enterprises;
that the power to do that should
be lodged with an officer of some
sort who would act as part of the
executive branch of the govern
ment.
The commission would be a mere
tribunal which would hear the case
and render a decision. He also
proposed the same procedure with
reference to the utility regulatory
commissions.
The plan was hailed with great
satisfaction by the utilities. the
railroads and industrial corpora
tionS which do not like regulation
and are always happy at any pro-
poSal which tends to cripple it
And this of course would cripple
it. 1t is sufficiently slow and
sluggish now, but if the regulatory
bodies were turned into more judi
cial tribunals we could be prepar-
ed to see regulation wound up in
even more red tape than at present.
All this has been more or less
forgotten. But it is interesting to
hear that the New Deal, which is
supposed to be such an enemy of
business, is actually talking about
proposing for the l. C. C. and the
F.. T. c., a scheme which had its
birth in the extreme reactionary
administration of President Cool
idge.
New Deal experts are said to be
working on the plan to reduce the
1. C. C. and the F. T. C. to the
status of judicial tribunals and to
move the initiating power and the
investigational power over into
some executive department
When this was proposed by
Colonel Donovan it was opposed as
a reactionary scheme to please the
utilities.
When it is trotted out by the
New Deal, it will have the ban
ners of liberalism flying over it;
it will be called radical or liberal
or progressive and all the liberals
who held up their hands in horror
at Colonel DonoVan's suggestion will
throw their hats in the air for it
under Roosevelt
Those who oppose this old Dono-
Van-Coolidge scheme will be called
tories.
This is one of the reasons it is
so difficult to follow the course of
liberal and conservative policy and
why no one can trust a label on a
political scheme any more than on
a bottle of bootleg liquor.
Regulation has had a pretty sor-
ry career in this country. If its
record has been bad it is because
the executive department has in
terfered for political or business
or even worse reasons.
If the regulatory bodies are made
mere judicial bodies-just a COL
lection of splitting and doing
old gentlemen in robes-it means
the end Of regulation.
