WASHINGTON - If you want to
know whether the New Deal really
wants to fight for low prices in
the rearmament drive, watch the
fate of a little resolution just intro
duced by Senator Burton K. Wheel
er.
Wheeler has moved for a Senate
investigation of patent or price
fixing agreements between U. S.
and German industrialists which
might hamper defense production.
Whether he gets the investigation
is strictly up to the administra-
ton. His resolutions fate depends
on the Senate Audit and Control
Committee, which is headed by one
of the chief administration strate-
gists, Senator James Byrnes of
South Carolina. Obviously, if New
Deal thumbs are turned down the
resolution will be smothered in
committee.

administration has never been will
ing to look at with more than half
an eye.
Away last winter the antitrust
division of the Department of JUS
tice notified the administration
that various price and production
controls had been set up in GER
tain vital defense industries by
agreements between certain Ger
man and American producers.
Plain warning was served then
that at least some of these agree
ments would have the effect of
putting both government and pri-
ate citizen at the mercy of sun
dry big business interests in con-
nection with defense buying.
No one outside of the antitrust
division took any action on this
warning or betrayed any especial
interest in it. The antitrust people
have gone ahead and have taken
some of these cases into court,
where a number of actions are now
pending.
A great deal more investigating
remains to be done, however, than
the antitrust division with its
present staff and funds can posi-
bly, handle. There is no chance
that the divisions staff will be en-
larged in the near future; on the
contrary, growing opposition with
in the defense commission to the
antitrust divisions work has re-
Gently restricted the divisions act
ivities rather sharply.
TWO TRENDS
AT ODDS
Wheeler's idea is that a Senate
committee, remaining in session
and equipped with enough money
to do a real job of investigating,
could start where the antitrust di-
vision has been forced to leave off.
1t could study each of the cases
originally cited by. the antitrust
division, in turn, and establish
whether the agreements COM
planned of do operate to raise the
prices of essential defense mate
rails. Probability is that the sim
pie publicity which would result
would be enough to remedy any
unjustified price increasing; for
that matter, the mere fact the
committee was on the job would
tend to prevent gouging.
All of which brings once more
into collision the two opposing
trends which have been in evil
dence within the New Deal ever
since the defense program got
started.
On the one hand there is the
trend to fight for lower prices and
more fluid markets, as exemplified
by the various campaigns Of AS
sistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold. On the other, there
is the tendency to lean toward
price-fixing and sterilization OF
markets, a la the NRA, which is
appearing more and more in vari-
Gus quarters close to the defense
commission.
The administration has not yet
made up it's mind which of these
trends to follow in connection with
defense spending. 4
