Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, such statements give me
cause for great concern, even II
they appear in the Daily Worker.
However, ! feel sure that you will
share my concern when I report
to you that agents of our committee
covered this parade very fully, took
closeup motion pictures and still
shots. and they reported to me today,
among other things, that there was
one platoon of approximately 80
officers of the various branches of
our services which marched in this
parade under the banner of the Com
munist Party of the United States.
They also reported to me that there
were approximately 1.500 men in
the uniform of the enlisted soldier
parading under the same banner.
I'm the past, there have been
numerous charges made that the
Communists have infiltrated into the
Army of the United States. Certain
ly yesterdays demonstration pro-
vides fragrant evidence of such in
filtration / am sure you will agree
with me that the Communist Party
in the United States is in fact the
agent of a foreign power, and that
the allegiance of its members and
officers rests not with the United
States, but with the Soviet Union.
There is ample evidence before this
committee to establish this fact

Power Of MonopoIies
Greatest in History,
Wendell Berge Says

Wendell Berge, retiring head of
the Justice Departments Anti
Trust Division, said last night that
"the concentration of monopoly
power in industry is greater than it
ever has been in our history"
He said monopoly is growing in
mining, manufacturing and most
other basic industries and warned
that its elimination is necessary to
avoid a depression brought on by
high prices and restricted output. I"
I'VE must not forget" he said.
that the position of prices at the
present time is a symptom, not
simply of scarcity, but of under
lying monopolistic restrictions which
are preventing genuine freedom Of
the market"
Defends Antitrust Program.
The antitrust program, he said, is
not weapon of Government against
business, but "a policy to which this
Nation is committed by its history
determined opposition to mo-
nopoly'
Mr.. Berge's talk was made at a
testimonial dinner given him in the
Congressional Room of the Statler
Hotel by friends. He resigned from

MIR. Thomas demanded that the
Army and Navy chiefs institute an
immediate investigation to deter
mine, the number and the identity

United States when they receive
tl-eir commission"
He also asked for an investigation
to determine how many of the en-

members of the Reserve Corps and

STOCkHOLM.-The Eighth In

delegates scattered on study Wis

son, of Gothenburg, managing d.

Company and one of Sweden's
leading industrialists, was made
president of the world organiza
ton of the congress, known as
CLOS. At the suggestion Of the
executive committee, steps will be
taken to have CLOS represented
in the United Nations.
The last plenary session was
devoted to management-labor re-
lations. The Swedish system OF
collective bargaining was describ-
ed by Knut LARSON, secretary of
the Woodworkers Union, and Ber-
til Kugelberg, head of the Swe:
dish Employers Association. Mr..
LARSON said that in 1899 Swe-
dish trade unions had 81, 1923 mem
bers, while in 1915 the number
was 1,069,287. The trade unions
themselves increased from 669 to
1922. The Swedish bargaining
system has functioned we'll, he
said. Both parties are at liberty
to pass or reject agreements and
to declare strikes and lock-outs.
Strong organizations on both
sides, he insisted, will be agents
for the elimination of poverty and
insecurity. The general strike OF
1909 taught the workers that not
every goal can be achieved by
striking.
Mr.. Kugelberg pointed out that
there are today collective agree
ments in force in Sweden, involv-
ing 100000 workers. He also
quoted a recent survey which
showed that while a number of
leading industrial firms from 1887
to 1945 increased their dividends
with IL per Cert, workmen's
wages rose with 6S per cent dur
ing the same period.
