Repealing the 18th amendment to the Constitution is going to be a difficult job, foruo amendment to the Constitution of the United States fas ever beeh repealed, and the only way an amendment can be repeal- ed is to nullify it id another amendment.

Orleatis and Havana and has been causing a deéided decféase in handling freight be- tween Key West and Havana by the P. & | § O. Company. Having had two new ships constructed ; the } with the $2,400,000 borrowed from Shippitig board “on the ground that the ves8els would be emiployed in promoting the foreign commerce of the United States,” according to Robert W. Malone, represent- ing the Florida East Coast Car Ferry Com- pany, Sedtrain Lines, Inc., has applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the privilege of carrying freight between New York and New Orleans. That application was made because company, its president declared, thought. the venture would not prove profit- ) able were it confined to the handling of foreign conimerce. Mr. Malone and others; who object to the granting of the application, maintain that it wotld be unfair and unjust for the Tnterstateé Commerce Commission to grant the application in view of the fact that the eompany is obtaining a government sub- sidy. It would be using the govérnment money by private individuals to fight com- therdially other private individuals of the United States who have invested their own money in enterprises that, at present, are moré than safficient to accommodate ship- pérs between New York and New Orleans. Should the Interstate Commerce Com- mission gtant the application; it would af- féet advérsély, in a great meastie, the fer- ries that are operated between Key West @nd Havana; because, eventually, with the [ additional #évéenwe that would be derived froti New York-New Orleans shipmenits, practically all freight originating eastern as well as several other states for transfer to Cuba would be sent to New ¥ork for shipment by the séatrains, mavy more of which would be built and operated. Among the other objectors was Wil- liam Simmons, traffie matiaget of the Mor- van Line, who told the — corfintission that, during the last year, the volume of freight between New York and New Orleans had fallen off five percent, atid that, therefore, there is no aeed for another service be- tween those ports. The Citizen feels confident that the } application will not be granted; it is posi- tive it will not be granted if fairness and justice ate décotded the tailrodd and steamship companies that have invested their own money (that is, the money of | stockholders, most of whom depend on dividends fot a liveliiood) in the enter- prises that are capable of handling prompt- ly far mové freight than is now shipped be- tween New York and New Orleans. BUREAUCRACY’S GROWTH Tn @ fecent magazine article, C. W. Battley gives some striking illustrations of the amazing growth of government de- partments; buréatis and cofimissions dur- ing recent years. He calls especial atten- tion to the expansion of the Federal Trade Commission whose expenditures increased from $184,016 in 1915 to $1,987,302 in 1931, or more than ten fold. ¥et, this commission, which is sup- pésed to’ tegulate eompetition and prevent i violations of anti-trust laws) has no power to etifdfed ffs decisions, Moré than 50 per éént of ifs deeisioris Which have been tested in the courts have been reversed, the liti- gation causing great expense to the govern- ment and to business mén affectéd by these unlawful interferences with their rights.
