DISREGARD OF TRUST
LAWS THREATENS
US. ECONOMY

Disregard of the federal anti
trust laws by businessmen has now
reached such proportions that a
general breakdown is threatened in
the governments efforts to stamp
out monopoly. The Machinist LAM.
has learned.
Records of the antitrust divi-
sion at the justice department, in
vestisated by the MachiEist. now
list 1872 business corporations that
are under indictment. charged with
violating the Sherman antitrust
act. or the Clayton act.
These laws, passed by congress
in 1890 and 1914, were supposed to
protect the country from monopoly
business and high prices.
Yet. today. "a years later, the
man in charge of enforcing these
laws. John F.. Sonnet. assistant at
torney general of the United States.
reports that the concentration OF
economic power in American indus
try is at the highest point since
these laws were adopted.
In addition to l,132 corporations
now under Indictment, in 119 diff
ferent antitrust suits. the courts
have convicted several hundred adj
ditional business firms. defendants
in &c suits on which verdicts have
been returned since VI Day.
Fines were imposed in 46 cases
after the Justice Department
brought criminal charges of law
lessness against business monopo-
Business men pleaded guilty

T more a year.
The danger of this situation was
out recently in the little-not-
ed annual report OF the Federal
rade Commission which charged:
The steady growth Of monopoly

nalienge to the American theory Of
ompetitive enterprise, and, along with

o. u. S. Constitution.
The Constitution Be Damned
Two years ago in Turkey a peoples
movement was muttering against a
fascist oligarchy. TO sustain this fas-
cist clique against the rising tide OF
democracy, our congress voted one
hundred million dollars to arm Tur-
key. This morning (Memorial Day.
the Montana Standard quotes General
MacBride as saying that IL expendi-
lures in Turkey already are one thous-
and million dollars. The Army has
spent this unauthorized nine hundred
million dollars. The Army is indie
pendent Of, and superior to. the civil
power" 1t has scorned the COnstitu-
ton by nine hundred million dollars.
But the Army is dependent on, and
subordinate to Monopoly capital.
The Westerners Be Damned
In Utah. at a cost near Il billion
dollars, the government built during
the war the Geneva Steel plant. When
peace came. this was declared surplus
property, to be sold by War Assets

ton bid less than as million dollars
for the plant. A group from Los An
geles bid 200 million dollars for the
plant. The smaller bid was accepted.
One hundred, fifty-two million dollars
OF taxpayers money was thus openly,
brazenly, in daylight. filched from the
U. s. Treasury: a largess to the U. S.
Steel stockholders. No headline OF
this embezzlement appeared In any
paper seer in Butte. Mr.. Truman
permitted this. But no Republican
campaigner for president condemns
it. A Juror of applause would have
greeted Dewey here last week If he
had condemned this act Of the Demo
Gratis ca. II he had told of it, to the
people, his chance Of being the Re

prises work of the '40s, and includes
portraits, flowers and urban scenes,
one in the sound, traditional man
ner for which he has been known
here for a quarter century or more.
Born in Boston, Mr.. Baker studied
under Major, De Camp and Charles
H. Davis. In 1921 Mr.. Baker won
the second Clark prize and Cor
coran silver medal. In the '20s and
early '3Os, he was an instructor at
the Corcoran School of Art, and
also on the art faculty OF George
Washington University. He is rep
resented in many public collections,
including portraits in the Massachu-
sets State House, Boston; Harvard
Law School, the New Hampshire
State House, the National Academy,
New York City; United States Ma
rine Corps headquarters, the WASH
ington Loan g. Trust Co. and
GEORGETOWN University Law School
here, Theological Seminary in Alex
andria, and many others.
Only few of the portraits on view
are of Washington area people.
among them James M. Haley OF the
Treasury Department, and Paul
Thompson. But it is obvious from
the individuality of all the faces that
they are good likenesses. The most
vital one, in my opinion, is that OF
Mrs. Joseph Daltrey (whose husband
is professor of music at Wesleyan

Attractive glimpses of local scenes
