Symons, director of the ex- tension service of the University of Maryland, said that the Agricultural Adjustment Administration bought more than 2,250,000 pounds of farm products in Maryland to remove price- depressing surpluses in 1936.

THE EVENING S DIPLOMATS T0LD OF BUSINESS AIDS Economist Cites Phases of Government Promotion and Regulation. Willlam H. 8. Stevens, head econ- omist of the Interstate Commerce Commission, yesterday told members of the diplomatic corps that “the growing complexity of our industrial AR, WASHINGTON, D. C, and commercial organization today implies the need for an ever-increas- ing activity and vigilance on the part of government.” His address, which dealt with “Gov- ernment in Business,” was the eighth in a series on the political institutions of the United States at American University for the diplomatic corps and foreign colony. Four relationships between Govern- ment and business were characterized by the speaker as regulatory, com- petitive, co-operative and promotional. Denies Competition Killed. Dr. Stevens said there was a wide- spread feeling that the ever-increas- ing sweep of the regulatory and com- petitive relationship had spelled the downfall of the competitive system, WEDNESDAY, but he maintained that this was by no means an inevitable conclusion. “Too much emphasis,” he said, “can be easily laid upon the regulatory and competitive selationships whose prom- inent position in the public mind tends to overshadow the other rela- tlonships and obscure important and significant promotional and co-oper- ative actlvities.” Dr. Stevens cited the National Re- covery Administration as an outstand- ing illustration of the co-operation of Government and business toward the common purpose of restoring pros- perity. He pointed out, however, that much of the co-operation between Government and business had its regu- latory as well as co-operative aspects, and that N. R. A. had both regulatory as well as co-operative phases. Dr. MARCH 24, 1937. Stevens also placed the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp. and the United States Tariff Commission among the agencies fostering co-operation between Government and business. Cites Trade Agreements. He referred to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce as one of the Government bureaus conspicuously identified with promotional activity in the interests of business both in its efforts to widen the magket for Ameri- can goods and in its collection of sta- tistical data of direct concern to business groups. “The most important direct promotional relationship of the Government to business during and since the depression,” he asserted, “has been the reciprocal trade agreements program of the Department of State.” The T. V. A. was cited as the most including 2 trousers far-reaching example of competitive Government activity in its relation to business, and Dr. Stevens ventured to say that this might project the Gov- ernment into competition with private business to an extent greater than ever | before in the history of the country. “The regulatory relationship between Government and business is perhaps a natural result of the democratic system under which the freedom to enter business results inevitably in business being conducted by all sorts and types of individuals,” he declared. Consequently, “the recognition has | developed that some regulation of competition and competitive business practices was necessary if the evil re- sults of excessive laissez faire and *% A—S5 out, we have witnessed the adoption of legislation regulating railway trans- portation, restricting monopolies and trusts and prohibiting certain unfair trade practices. The Federal Trade Commission has been conspicuous in this regulatory relationship between Government and business.” [ NUTT DEPARTS Paul V.
