Government Moves
To Smash System

Naturally the government had TO
take action in cases like that Re-
Gently the state department estab.
lished an industries branch In the
commodities division Of the office Of
economic affairs and for some time
the department OF justice has been
conducting Investigations and in sew.
eral cases has taken action Cartels
are one OF the highly complicated
matters which the peace nego-
tiations will deal with.
Assistant Attorney Gen. Wendell
Berge, who has charge Of investi-
cations now going on, said: 1T
seems abundantly clear that Ameri-
ca can never have foreign policy
based on the principles Of democ-
racy and international goodwill so
long as international trade Is domi.
mated by cartels."
Berge believes the principle In
volved in the operation of the inter.
nal pools and monopolies Is the
greatest threat to full employment
and therefore In many respects is
one Of the central issues Of our
time. This type OF organization, he
believes. restricts rather than pro-
notes trade because it not only
drives out competition but also en-
tiers into agreements to limit pro-
duction.
That came out in the war and
wherever there was serious short
age. rubber, aluminium, magnesium.
drugs. cartel was discovered In
the woodpile. These combinations
tend to become little governments OF
their own and their effect on foreign
relations is clearly evidenced in the
case Of South America where the
Germans obtained exclusive rights
In many trade fields through these
trade agreements and used these
rights to build up their Nazi propa-
ganda ma chine.
Before the United States entered
the war Germany was able to pre-
vent firms in this country from sup.
plying certain types OF explosives to
Britain because the American manu-
facturers had an agreement with the
German affiliate not to do so. The
same applied to optical goods.
There are other examples which
make your hair curl.

l mention that because II seems
Incredible that more was not done
to break down the cartel system be-
fore.
The SIMPLEST definition Of a cartel
Is monopoly and its most obvious
effect Is to gouge the consumer
with monopolistic prices. A chemi.
cal plastic which can be sold to COM
mereial moulders at e5 cents a
pound. costs dentists $45 90 pound.
Same stuff Atabrine. synthetic

eminent, presumably at a profit. at
$45 for a thousand tablets, by
company with cartel controlled
patent. under a contract that will
end six months after the war, Alta
brine costs you and me $1,000 per
thousand tablets.
Another feature of some cartels in
volved patent-leasing and this prac-
tice has resulted in most Of the Juror
today because, by means Of inter.
national cartcls, both Germany and
Japan got hold Of secrets of value
In the war.
For example. the American Bosch
corporation provided its German
affiliate with information developed
by the signal corps Of the army
which the German army used as the
basis for radio communication be-
tween tanks and ground and air
forces. The Bosch company got the
information in the form OF specifi-
cations In army contracts on which
1t was bidding.

WAR PRISONER
 SEEKS KIN HERE
Sal BOrelIi Awaiting COn= tact, More Information
 From Captured Soldier

Sal Borrelli of 25 Cherry street, never realized he was an uncle un- til this morning when he received a prisoner of war letter from Camp Sutton, N. C., from an Italian pris- oner named Domenic Iannacone who claims he is the local mans nephew.
 The letetr was dated June 13 and in part read as follows: I finally located your address after 8 long period of time. I am at Camp Sut- ton, N. C., feeling fine and being treated very good. How is your wife and children, if you have any? White Soon." (Mr. Borrelli has a daughter, Phyllis, and son, An thony).
 The message was written in ink in Italian. MT. Borrelli said it's possible that the lad is his nephew for his late mother had three sis- ters and two brothers in Italy, about 20 miles from Naples, and his late father has a brother and three sis- ters in the same country.
 MT. Borrelli immediately phoned the provost marShall's office at Camp Sutton to see if he could obtain more information on the Italian soldied being detained at that camp. He talked to Major Aruzza who confirmed the fact the Italian soldier was being detained there, but would not be at that camp very many more days as he was being transferred to another camp in the eastern section of the country.
 Major Aruzza advised MT. Bor- relli not to write to the prisoner at Camp Sutton, but to wait until he received further word from the pris- oner when he arrives at his new camp. The major assured MT. Borrelli he would see to it that the Italian soldier would wrote him again as soon as he reached the eastern camp.
