by mergers, purchases of assets or
 control and the like-the teeth have
 largely been drawn from the Act
 This is a political speech, not a judicial opinion. It is a dissent from the American philosophy of life throughout its history. It is an l assertion of social democracy which has been running Europe for nearly half a century and is reaching a
 climax in the British failure. He says further:
 The increased concentra- tion of industrial power in the
 hands of few has changed habits of thought. A new age has been introduced. It is more and more an age of monopoly competition. | Monopoly competition is a regime of friendly alliances, of quick and ! easy accommodation of prices even without the benefit of trade asso- citations, of what Brandeis said was 1 euphemistically called cooperation. i While this is not true in all fields, 1 it has become alarmingly apparent
 in many.
 "The lessons Brandeis taught on | the curse of bigness have largely
 been forgotten in high places. Size i is allowed to become a menace to
 existing and putative competitors :. :"
 None of this is incontestable;
 in my opinion, none of it is true. Actually in a competitive system, such as we still have, monopoly | is impossible because new products, ! new services, new ideas drive out ] the static and the ohsolescent. For instance, I am writing this piece with ball point pen that cost | me $500. The first one I ever | bought cost me $12.50. Last week 1 I bought the same one as that I which I now use for $100 The reduction in price Is due to com
 petition. A new product is as great a competitor as another company making an identical article. What worries MT. Douglas is size. How big is too big? That depends upon the commodity. It takes bigness to produce one pound , of steel or one automobile. But it
 does not take bigness to run a l newsstand or a grocery store. In this particular case, Mir Douglas objects to filling stations having exclusive supply contracts with par ticular companies. Such an objec- !. tion is utterly impractical for if ]; the customer is looking for a trade
 name gas, he is not going to accept any old gas.
 i The law is clear-but MT. Doug
 las wanted to say his piece. It is a campaign piece.

FRIENDSHIP BOOKS

H. A. Dunn of Austin, Texas, is slim, slight, cheerful little man who works from about 5:30 a. m. each day as superintendent of the main building at the University of Texas.
 Two years ago MT. Dunn heard there was a need of books in the Philippines to replace the damage done to school libraries during the war So on his own initiative he set out to do something about it. At the end of the school semester he talked students into donating their used textbooks to the kids in the Philippines" instead of selling them to the secondhand book stores.
 MT. Dunn kept boxes out in the railways to receive the books, and working tirelessly with no help from others, he finally collected and shipped to the Philippines the other day 30,000 books. MT. Dunn's project was all his own; no spon- sors, no organized drive, no money to help him-which makes him, in this columns eyes, a real ser want of brotherhood.
 CAPITAL NEWS CAPSULES
 MacArthur's Secret Report-Here is the inside reason on why Presi- dent Truman suddenly agreed to let Congress appropriate S75,000,- coo for Communist China. Un- til ten days ago, the President was dead set against giving nickel to the Chinese. But recently he received a secret report from Gen. eral MacArthur urging him to re- consider. Macarthur said it was possible to delay the Communist offensive indefinitely provided the United States would give aid di- rectly to some of the Chinese war lords who still have big armies in the field. Impressed, the Pres ident passed word to Senator Tom Connally, chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, to agree; since this plan would bypass Chiang and let the United States give direct help to the most reliable Chinese n-Communists.

Then he learned that i two darkrooms had already been built in the Pentagon-by the Air Force and Signal Corps-so John- son cancelled his own darkroom.

Capetown, South Agrica { AMP
- The Dutch Boer South Afric-
ans who are now in control of
south Africa with a majority in
the parliament are going mad
with power. Having carried out
their policy of "Apartheid" which
means strict segregation and de-
basement of the native blacks
and the buffer "coloured" peo-
pies who are mixtures of Dutch
or English and African, the Dutch
TURNED on the English. The Eng
lish conquered the Beers in a
war four decades ago and the
Dutch have been promising to get
even with them ever since.
This week they passed a law
which limited British white col
onists who have been pouring in
to South Africa ever since the
war. The British may not vote
until they have established resi-
dence in South Africa for at least
five years, Natives and coloured
will be unable to vote at all ex-
cent in one or two areas.
Laws Lying Down
The natives have had to take
the laws lying down. The color
ed people including the East In
dams have protested but by fail
ing to join forces with the ma
tives whom they regard as in
ferior have fallen victims to the
divide and rule policy. The Brit
ish are fighting.

ships will sail on what dates. Thus
they can make no definite COM
