Monopoly A Myth

Those who believe that certain
degree Of monopoly exists in re-
tailing, would do well to read page
Ave of the Final Report Of the
TNEC, which has just been issued
by the Government Printing Office.
The TNEC made an exhaustive
investigation into competition and
monopoly in many kinds OF indus
tries. And here is what is said
about retailing Although mass
distributors have attained great
Size and although they handle a
substantial fraction OF the retail
trade: it cannot be said that they
possess anything approaching "a
monopoly. The chain stores, num-
bering 100000, were operated by
5000 different chains Independent
merchants, each with a single
store; owned hiTe-tenths of the out
Tets and made two.thirds OF the
sales. Goods of almost every kind

NEW POST A
COMPLIMENT

In the latter year ne left for
Europe, having the important job
of technical adviser to the meet
ings of the International Commit
tee on Political Refugees at Evian
and London. Later in the same
year he was made adviser to the
government of the Philippines on
immigration matters. Since July,
1889. he has been detailed to the
state department in Washington.
His new post is a compliment
TO Brandt. Ordinarily a charge
d'affaires holds down the embassy
job while the ambassador is away
1t is usually given to the first sec
rotary of the embassy or to the
counsellor of the embassy. Now
the German post is doubly impor-
tant, because Brandt will not only
be the highest ranking diplomatic
officer the United States has in
Germany. but almost the whole
works. because all consular officers
have been withdrawn. In the pres
ent tense condition of affairs be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, the job takes one who is
able to walk on egg shells without
cracking them. The state depart
ment evidently thinks he can.
