In France they shrugged their

The British and the French gov.

But there is still strong posi-

Germans Quit Rumania.
Germany wants no bloodshed.
Hitler says he abhores it. He does
not want a war against Runania
and hopes that he will get all the
oil and all the raw materials which
Germany needs from that country
by compromise. Russia wants to
settle the Bessarabian question. It
appears that the Germans have
agreed to her taking back at least
some parts Of the Rumanian prov

There are ominous signs. The
Germans who live in that section
have been ordered by their govern

Dniester. They 60 in small groups

The idea of Rumania resisting seems
to fade away after the Finish ex-

State Governments ought them
selves to police anyway. Some day
the distilled industry members will
recognize that prohibition sentiment
swings in cycles and that social
evils produced as a consequence of
intensive selling Of distilled spirits
might well call for q set Of principles
to be publicly proclaimed and pri-
vately obeyed by the industry rather
than q contract which looks like a
scheme primarily to protect COM
petitors against one another's busi-
ness aggressiveness.
Reproduction Rights Aessrved)
Evening star., 1940-03-14

TEN which was Davio Lawrence
held unconstitutional, but it has
aroused opposition among others in
the liquor business who say that the
proposed contract is q form Of
uper-government which should
never be permitted.
The terms of the contract have
not been made public, but have been
widely circulated among members
of the distilled spirits industry and
the trade press. The plan calls for
q one man ruler-in this case DR..
Wesley Sturgis, formerly professor
at Yale-who becomes at once the
prosecutor and the judge and, if
his decisions are to be appealed,
they must be presented to arbitra-
ton.
Decision Apparently Forgotten.
What Is most surprising, however,
Is that business men in America
already have forgotten what the
Supreme Court by unanimous
opinion said in the N. R.. A. case
about delegated power.
The fact that the policing system
Is voluntarily accepted by an In
dustry has not altered the view Of
the courts that codes established
under the N. r. A. could not be
lawfully continued. The oil men
found this out to their sorrow
when the Department of Justice
prosecuted them recently in the
Middle West for doing subsequent
to the N. r. A. what they had
originally been advised to do under
the N. r. A. by the Department of
the Interior.
The proposed liquor code en-
deavors to reach certain practices
wherein it is alleged that State
liquor purchasing boards are in
fiuenced by improper means and it
also seeks to prevent competitors
In the distilled spirits industry from
making gifts to retailers or from
giving them various kinds of mer-
chandising discounts.
The purpose of the code is in
part reformation Of commercial
practices, but in large part 1t is de-
signed to regulate an industry from
within by the use of private polio
Ing system to which all members
agree in advance One wonders why
the Federal Alcohol Administration
or the Federal Trade Commission is
not entrusted with the task, mas
much as this is the only uniform
way to apply any existing statutes
governing trade practices.
Could Fix" Territories.
Clearly no matter how many mem
bers of the distilled spirits industry
accept the code, there is no way to
bind dissenters or those newcomers
who may subsequently decide to go
into the liquor distributing business.
IN fact, it is a short step from the
proposed contract in the distilled
spirits industry to informal under
standings allotting territory and
other business advantages to Ger
tain members of the code cartel.
If competitors may lawfully bind
themselves to accept decisions on
one set of merchandising problems
from a central authority set up by
themselves in the conduct of their
business, any other set of COM
mercial understandings relating to
competitive practices could be sim
ilarly put into effect and this Is
what. the Sherman antitrust law
vas designed to prevent.
The liquor business needs much
more attention to plans for spread
ing q doctrine Of moderation in the
use of beverages containing high
alcoholic content than it needs 50

ness practices which the Federal and

ton. Mayor Damase Caron Of Man
chester led the Roosevelt slate with
about 10,500 votes.
The third-term boomers in New
Hampshire have been working like
beavers. Naturally they hoped to
get out as large 4 vote for the Presi-
dent in Tuesdays primary as they
possibly could. Here was q chance
to make . good showing for their
cause. But they failed to make
such = showing, Notwithstanding all
their organization support.
There were II Roosevelt supporters
in the field Of candidates for dele
gates at large. They all polled
more votes than anv Of the delegates
backing Postmaster General Farley
or Vice President Garner or running
unpledsed. Their average was $500
votes. The average for the opposi-
ton WAS 3,307. One of the Farley
pledged delegate candidates polled
more than 1000, while the lone Gar
ner candidate received $3.50.
Falls Short Of Demand.
It Is obvious, of course, that the
Roosevelt pledged slate Of delegates
swept the decks. There was every
reason to believe they would do so
backed by organization power. But
their showing was by no means i'm
pressive from at least one angle-the
angle Of . demand by the ordinary
voter for q denomination and re-
election Of the President for q third
term.
Democratic opponents of q third
term nomination for Mr.. Roosevelt
remarked that many of the votes
cast for Garner and Farley were
actually anti third term votes
Whether these voters would 60 the
whole route and oppose the Presi-
dent II he should be renominated Is
another question. But 1t was argued
in these Democratic quarters that
some Of these recalcitrant Demo-
Gratis would not vote for Mr.. Roose-
