Howard convocation
Concludes Today

A suggestion that colored min
listers make more effective use Of So
cial agencies in their communities
to aid members of their congrega-
tions was made today by the Rev.
Daniel G.. Hill, minister OF the
Shorter Community A. M E. Church
|of Denver, in an address before the
Howard University's School of Re-
ligion 28th annual convocation.
Mr., Hill said many Federal and
local social agencies were more
than eager" to assist in meeting
community problems such as hous-
ing, delinquency and health.
The colored churches in the Unit
ed States reach more than so per
cent of the race, he said, as he
urged all pastors to take a more
active interest in community life.
I'VE must combine. our theological
knowledge with practical social en-
phasis on the needs of our people,"
he said. 1--WE can no longer be con-
tent to be Gods trombone on Sum
day."
The convocation, which opened
Tuesday with $50 delegates from IL
States, will conclude this afternoon.
L. B. Nichols. assistant director
of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, will speak on Crime in the
United States and How the Church

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 e.
tiers into agreements TO limit pro-
duction. - r
That came out in the war and
wherever there was a serious short
age, rubber, aluminium, magnesium,
drugs, a 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 machine.
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
The Kilgore committee makes this
statement, for instance, in its re-
port:

technical krow-how on some proc
esses for production Of 100 per cent
octane gasoline before they were
generally available to American
firms and in at least one case as
late as June, l94l, to find out through
commercial channels the amount of

Jet-PrOpelled Fighters

THE GERMANS have intro
= duced a new weapon into the
air-war, the ME-262 jet-propelled
fighter. SO far, according to
news reports, it has made incon-
elusive passes at tremendous
speed at American bombers, but
has had little success in shooting
our planes out of the air.
Some experts say that the Nazi
fighters attain a speed Of more
than GOO miles an hour, but that
this has disadvantages because it
is impossible to score accurate
hits at such a velocity.
The United States has a new
iet-propelled fighter, the P-59-A,
Bell Airacomet, but it has not
been tried in combat. Early in
June, newspaper men were given
an opportunity to witness the
plane in flight and it has been
known for sometime that jet-pro-
pulsion engines were under con-
struction in this country.
The use of these engines will
undoubtedly work many changes
in fighter design and battle
strategy. Combat in the stratos-
phere is foreseen by experts who
also look for scientific devices to
greatly increase defense against
aerial attack.

Opportunity In India

protagonists of home rule in
India TO demand that the white
races drop their so-called intoler-
ance and meet the Indian nation

This is rather interesting in
view of the failure of Messrs.
Gandhi, representing the Hindus.
and Jinnah, representing the Mos
lens, to reach an agreement on
the problem of the Indian minori-
ties.
Surely, if the Gandhi group
in India continues to capitalize
on the plea for tolerance and

pie by displaying a willingness

ment with the minority group in

A telegram from Rear Admiral
D. c. Ramsey, chief Of the U. $.
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, called
on the Western Electric Company
to produce more of the Miro
phones, and added: "This record
ing device is considered SO vaIu-
able that it has been installed On
all our aircraft carriers. Split
second communications are vital to
the success of combat operations,
and your Mirrophone helps to at
tain such precision by developing

their Mirrophone to the Yale unit

introduced in March, 1871, the
Mirrophone was originally designed
to aid in speech training for Bell
System operators and others whose

was also adopted by educational

bishi company and sit" has leaked
all over the place and what is more
'it' is a comparatively harmless
sample of other things which will
come out later on.
One of the interesting cartels deals
in a product that few people not in
the leather business know anything
about. 1t is the quebracho, a SUBJ
stance used to tan and preserve
leather and it comes from the
bark of tree grown chiefly in Ar
gentina.
The cartel is controlled by a COM
pany owned and managed by the
British. 1t has an exceedingly tight
monopoly and to an extent can
therefore control leather prices.
Since it has been in operation que
bracho prices have shot up and pro-
duction has gone down. The figures
disclosed by the investigation show
that before the cartel was formed
quebracho was selling at just about
one-half what it costs today Six
price-boosts were made in seven
years and the Arm is said to be now
making 33b per cent profit
All but 10 per cent of the que
bracho production is controlled by
the cartel and many methods are
used to hamstring the Independents,
the chief of which is to make secret
arrangements with shippers not to
allow cargo space to the COMPETE
tors, and the cooperation which the
cartel enjoys in high places is re-
vealed in the course of indictment
proceedings by the department of
justice. The two firms involved were
represented by no less than an of
fetal envoy Of the Argentine gov
eminent.
The quebracho pool sent vital
supplies to Japan up to the last few
years and did it at eut-rates absorb
ing the loss by boosting the price to
this country. 1t has recently heen
predicted that if this pool continues
in operation there will be a serious
leather shortage after the war.
But substitutes are no solution of
the cartel problem. A world in which
one man has to use ersatz-sauce
for his goose while another gets the
gravy for his gander, isn't exactly
according to the American idea Of
fair play.

When the political smoke of the
campaign dies away we are all 60
ing to hear a lot more about cartels
Most people probably have a gen.
eral idea of what they are but those
of us who have followed the hear
ings of the Kilgore subcommittee on
war mobilization learned lot of
things we didn't know.
/ think heard about cartels
first from Bill Shepherd, a news
paperniah whom l was always meet
ing in different parts of the world.
He had just come back from Ger
many shortly after the last war and
was full of the subject on which he
had written an article for Golfers.
But we didn't know the half of it
then.
l mention that because it seems
incredible that more was not done
to break down the cartel system be-
fore.
The simplest definition of a cartel
is a monopoly and its most obvious
effect is to gouge the consumer
with mcropolistic prices. A chemi-
cal plastic which can be sold to COM
mercial moulders at IS cents a
pound, costs dentists $4500 a pound.
Same stuff. Atabrine, a synthetic
substitute for quinine, sold to the gov
ernmeA, presumably at a profit, at
$3.50 for a thousand tablets, by
company with AZ cartel controlled
patent, under 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 patcnt-leasing and this prac-
tice has resulted in most of the Juror
today because. by means OF inter-
national cartels. 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
il was bidding.
