tons. In general, markets are
divided and prices fixed, with a
resultant downhold on production.
At the same time, members of
the system arrange for exchange
IF patents and "know-how." After
the war broke out, it was found
that American industrialists who
dabbled in cartels furnished much
information to the Farben indus
tries of Germany and got little, if
anything, in return.
New Approach
1ne expert said that an entire
ly new approach was being used
by U. S. industrialists who seek
to resume the cartel system. He
said they are planning to open
subsidiary firms in foreign coun-
tries and thereby take themselves
beyond the jurisdiction of the
United States.
This would present a new legal
point, but he was confident that
a way could be found to thwart
such effotrs.
False Impression
The official was of the opinion
that the businessmen leaning tow
ard the cartels labored under a
false impression of what was best
for them. He said that under the
cartel system they were certain
OF a limited amount of business
and sure profits without competi-
ton to worry them, whereas with
out engaging in such agreements
they could find wider and more
profitable fields for their products.
He said it has been found that
because Of the efficiency of indus
trial methods and mass production
facilities in this country, almos'
any article manufactured here
could be sold at a lower price in
foreign nations than like products
produced in those countries.
Lean on System
1t is for this reason that foreign
industrialists have leaned so heav
lily on the cartel system, he said
The British and French are al
ready attempting to get the cartel'
into full operation, the expert SAID.
