ENTERPRISE FREE & OTHERWISE

I all needed protection against "fret
enterprisers.
United States Steel, General Elec
trio and many other powerful business
es were organized after the passage
of the first antitrust law. In 1914
the so-called Clayton law was passed
This law prohibited purchase of 6
competitors stock" by any corpora
ton. However, there was a hole in
this law which the smart corporation
lawyer was quick to locate. 1t did
NOT forbid the purchase of the "as
sets" of one corporation by another
Using that loophole in the Clayton
act, several of the nations greatest
corporations have grown up in the 81
years since it was enacted. The great
est of these is the one most in the
public eye today-General Motors
Until 1920, G.GM. was controlled by

also Bankers Trust Co., First Nation

interests.
The Du Points investment represent

justified General Motors, originally

dollars is now worth more than two

This week in several telephone con
lversations from Washington with Dem.
ocratic leaders in the state, Congress
man Mike Mansfield has indicated
that he has about made up his mind
to run against Wheeler for the Dem
ocratic nomination for United States
senator While we reiterate the stand
taken editorially by The Peoples
Voice last week that Wheeler's OPP
ponent should be chosen without de-
lay we cannot accept with enthusi-
asm the candidacy of Mr.. Mansfield
until he has taken definite stand
on several problems of pressing inn
portance in the forthcoming campaign.
During the four years that Mansfield
has served in the congress he has dis
tinguished himself chiefly for his abil-
ity to straddle the fence on controver-
sial subjects. 1t is only necessary to
mention one of them and that is the
Missouri Valley Authority.
To date Mr. Mansfield has failed to
state publicly his position on this
measure and on the companion meas
ure the Columbia Valley Authority
bill. 1t is understood that in private
he has indicated opposition to these
bills. The people of Montana are in
favor of the Missouri Valley Author
ity and that is particularly true of
the members of Mr. Mansfield's party
Those supporting the measure realize
that it will not be enacted until men
are elected to the senate who favor
the authority legislation. They will
insist on an opportunity to vote for
who favor the legislation.
Wheeler has lost more strength be-
cause of opposition to MVA than for
anything he has done since the war
started. II Mansfield does not come
out strongly for the Murray and Mitch
ell bills a lot of people who have left
Wheeler's camp because of his MVA
stand will go back to his colors. They
will see no reason for supporting
man ON the fence or one opposed to
MVA against Wheeler. Organized la
Dor and farmer will not be enthusiast
tic in their support of Mansfield If
he is not all out for the MVA program.

REPORT OF WORK
i'm SUPREME
COURT FOR WEEK

January 18th-Nedra Reagan " A
{. Armstrong. Appealed from Glacier
County, Cut Bank. Unanimous opinion
of the court prepared by Justice Hugh
R. Adair.
Held: The sheriff, Armstrong, sold
certain horses in a mortgage foreclos
ure proceedings. Plaintiff, who
claimed to own some of the horses
sold and who was not a party to the
mortgage, brought suit for damages
alleging that the sheriff converted
the horses. Judgment was for the
sheriff and the supreme court af-
firmed the judgment. The supreme
court said: 1.-THE undisputed evidence
introduced on behalf of plaintiff
shows that her brother, Galen G. Gal
breath, the reputed original owner of
the four animals described in plain
tiffs pleadings, continued in posses
sion and control of the property aft
er the alleged transfer in 1886 and
until the mare weer seized by the
sheriff at the ]. J. Galbreath ranch
in August 1910 or between that time
and March 4, 1871, when the mares
were sold by the sheriff at public auc-
ton. Since the purported transfer
from Galen G. to plaintiff was not ac-
companied by an immediate delivery
nor followed by an actual and con-
tinued change of possession of the
property, the transaction is conclu-
sively presumed to be fraudulent and
therefore void, against encumbrances
in good faith subsequent to the pur-
ported transfer. (Section 1904, Re-
vised Codes of 1850"
January 22d-Locke F. Richardson
and wife v. Lucille E. Owen and 9th
ers. Appealed from Pondera County,
Conrad. Unanimous opinion of the
court prepared by Chief Justice How
ard A. Johnson.
Held: Plaintiffs contracted to pur-
chase certain lands. There was moth
ing in the contract with regard to a
mineral reservation. Upon compile
ton of the payments the deed issued
and recorded contained a mineral res
action to reform the deed and quiet
title The defendants contended that
by subsequent agreement wherein the
unpaid balance was reduced from
$500 to $1,000, the plaintiffs agreed
to the reservation of the mineral in
terest. The judgment was for the de-
PENDANTS. The supreme court af-
firmed the judgment, holding THAT
there is clear evidence that the orig
inal contract for full title to the land
was superseded by new oral agree
ment, subsequently performed, for the
conveyance of the land for little
more than one-third of the balance
due under the original contract, but
with the reservation of one-haf the
usual landowners royalty interest"

General Electric, via the newspaper
advertisement, is appealing to the peo-
| pie as did General Motors but using
a different approach. Gneral Electric
instead of the belligerent attitude
which didn't work so good for General
Motors is being the very much mis-
understood corporation. Why, Gen
eral Electric, that big, benevolent cor
poration wouldn't hurt a fly! They
have only the good of the consumer
the worker and the nation at heart
They just can't understand why then
workers are on strike! Or so they
would have you believe. Let us take
a good look at some of the things Gen,
eral Electric has done for the country
and for the good of the people it calls
its customers"
Tungsten carbide is a hard metal
composition of great industrial impor-
lance in cutting tools, extrusion dies,
and wear-resistant surfaces. 1t was
sold in the United States in 1928
at $50 per pound At that time Gen
eral Electric and Krupp, the German
munitions manufacturing company,
formed an agreement at which their
patents were pooled. General Elec-
trio was given control of the sale price
in the United States and Krupp was
obligated to observe this price upon
imports. Immediately that General
Electric was guaranteed a free field
with no competition the price on this
important material rose to $453 PER
POUND. During most of the thirties
the price range was from $225 to
$453 and in 1910 the maximum price
was still s2O5 per pound.
In April 1912 four months after
Pearl Harbor, the justice department
our lag in production
and at the request of small manufac-
turers began an investigation which
resulted in the indictment of General
Electric. The price of tungsten car
bide promptly dropped to $45 per
pound in the United States. During
all this time the price in Germany re-
manned at $50 per pound.
The effect of the high price was evi-
IDENTIFY to discourage the development
Of tungsten carbide technology to say
nothing of what it did to our rearma-
ment program. We were paying four
times as much for our tungsten car
bide as was Germany when we were
desperately trying to save ourselves
from the nazis.
General Electric's own engineers
protested the fantastic price at which
General Electric was holding this sim
pie but valuable material that costs
between Sc and SIS per
pound to manufacture. Even Krupp
protested this unreasonable price be-
cause it was interfering with their
imports.
The magic of tungsten carbide is
iue to its hardness. In many machin-
ing operations substitution of tung
stem carbide for high-speed steel null
.iplies the rates of production at least
800 per cent? Germany retained I'M
questioned leadership in the use of
tungsten carbide even after the Arm
stice in 1918 and it was estimated
that Germany had 20 times as much
tungsten carbide in use as did the
United States. This was one of the
great secrets of German rearmament.
The greatest danger to us was the
fact that we had done practically no
experimenting with this valuable ma
Lerial and it takes time to develop
this knowledge. This was the most
serious thing we had to face in every
instance of shortages in our rearma-

ment prOgram-lack of chronological
development and trained manpower.
Krupp, the German ornaments con-
Germ. was in control of basic patents
for the manufacture of this material
Krupp did not make use of the patent
in order to prevent production in 9th
err countries as was done in the case
of other monopolies. 1t was willing
to issue licenses as a matter of STRAIT
egg and TO be satisfied with the royal
ty payments. This policy was fol-
lowed for very practical reasons!
Production was not complicated and
could easily be started by competitors.
The basic materials were, then as
now, available in great quantities in
most of the countries of the world.
The patents Krupp held would have
been declared invalid if they had
been brought up before the courts.
For this reason the patents were nev-
er tested because such a decision
would have made it impossible for any
producer to monopolize the new pro-
duct
The Krupp firm itself was skeptical
about the value of its patents and was
astonished when they found that it
was profitable to refuse licenses in
America and to curb export sales to
this country at the behest of General
Electric and its subsidiary Carboloy,
Inc, which sought the assistance of
Krupp in order to gain sole control
of the industry.
General Electric decided to ack-
nowledge the patents of Krupp be-
cause they could be used to prevent
competition in America. Krupp re-
ceived royalties and special payments
for a guarantee that the German arm
aments trust would not encourage pro-
duction of this strategic material in
America.
According to the agreement with the
Krupp firm, Carboloy had the right to
fix the price at which all importers
and producers were to sell cemented
tungsten carbides in America Car
boloy could successfully carry out
this policy because, however shaky
its patents, there were no competi-
tors in the tungsten carbide field who
dared to pit their modest forces
against the financial might of General
Electric in long and costly court test.
So, on patents that were eventually
thrown out of court as invalid, Gen
eral Electric, that great benevolent
so concerned about the
good of our country, managed for
years to hold up a vital material nee
essary to our advancement in peace
and our protection in time of war and
the money they might have now been
paying to American workers went to
Krupp Armament Manufacturing COM
pany of Germany
Thus we have almost repetition of
the policy of Standard Oil by another
big American corporation. Carboloy's
policy in general was openly based
on an association with Krupp which
left control of all markets outside of
second war year Carboloy still made
great efforts to pay Krupp royalties
for the allegedly invalid patents.
reports were sent to the
Krupp representatives in Switzerland
indicating the amount of tungsten car
bide produced or sold in America.
This report was an important source
of information for the German govern
ment on Americas capacity to pro-
duce ornaments.
The Carboloy case exploded only by
