III. ). Antitrust Policy
flinders Competition,
Professor Declares
by the Associotsd Press

BOSTON, Oct. 11.-Ine Fed-
eral Governments antitrust poll
cy is in dangerous state OF un-
balance" Harvard Business
School professor said today. be-
cause it often hurts instead OF
preserving competition.
A consistent policy designed to
prevent restraint Of trade, accord
ing to Harry L. Hansen. assistant
professor of business administra-
ton, embodies many objectives
besides preservation Of competi-
ton.
But, he told the 21st annual
Boston conference on distribu-
ton, the present unbalance stems
from too much "preoccupatlon
with preserving competitors to
the sacrifice OF other objectives.
Yet price determinations are
frequently the means whereby
buyers and sellers jockey to ar
rive at new prices. Prof. Hansen
declared. If we forbid price dis
elimination, we 60 far along the
road forbidding price competition"
he said.
Cites A. & P. Suit.
The current antitrust suit
against the Great Atlantic & Pa
cific Tea Co. affords an example,
he asserted.
Forty years ago the large firm
was commonly accused Of lowering
the standard Of living by re-
stricting production and raising
prices" he said. Now the es-
sential charge Is that the Arm
expands production too much and
charges too low prices"
Prof. Hansen advised the Fed
eral Government to revaluate its
attitude Toward competition in
terms of the specific marketing
situation which gives rise to GER
tain practices.
IF the economic facts in an
industry require certain market
ing policies. we must not expect
to reverse them easily" he said.
Therefore, we must proceed on q
case-by-case basis. not judging by
results or conclusions, but by the
process by which these conclusions
were arrived at"
Atom Controls Urged
Dean Rusk. deputy undersecre-
tary of state. yesterday warned the
conference Russian possession OF
the atomic bomb means the pos
sibility of an atom war unless
urgently needed international con-
troll is established.
THE production Of an atomic
explosion by the Soviet Union.'
he declared, "does not fundamen-
tally change but adds new en-
phasis and urgency to the prob
lem Of maintaining the peace. Any
potential atomic bomb aggressor
should be made aware that all the
power Of the human race must
meet such an attack"
Mr.. Rusk said the relative calm
with which the news Of the Rus
sian atomic bomb was received
doesn't mean that it was "unim-
portant or of little consequence.
Anything less than full knowl-
edge of the existence and use Of
dangerous materials" would not
be considered international con-
troll" by the United States. he
said.
If aggression by atomic means
occurs, Mr.. Rusk said, lit must
be met by all the resources of the
human race. and this must some.

Of a potential wrongdoer.
