Hartford PROTEGT MARKETS “OF U. 5. AFTER WAR Secretary Rediield Urges Legisla- Sion to Crush Unfair Competition Dec. 17.—Legislation to protect the industrial and com- mercial market of the United States from a ‘‘destructive type of struggle fupd unfair competition,” at the close of the European war, is recommended to Congress today by Secretary Red- field, in his report. Bvery strategem of industrial war, he says, will be used by powerful foreign agen- cies American industries which may menace large markets fieretofore controlled abroad. PFo prevent “unfair competition,” the Secretary suggested that the €hinery of the Departments of #ice and Treasury be used and Congress supplement existing Jaws to give the federal government adequate ageans to protect American markets. ~ Classed As Offense. “In my judgnment,” said the Sec- retary, “the matter is one whicn may ba more wisely treated as an attempt- ed wrong to be forbidden than as an ‘Washington, annual against na- Jus- that A.

I should prefer, there- fore, to deal with it by a method other than tariffs, classing it as an offense similar to the unfair domestic competition we now forbid. Tt seems possible that by using the cxisting machinery of the Treasury Deparr- ment and Department of Justice we may restrain this foreign ‘unfair com- petition’ on both sides of the sea. %I recommend, therefore, that such legislation be enacted as, will give to the foreign representatives of the above-named departments such added powers and increased personnel as they need for this purpose, and that it be enacted if possible that mer- chandise sold in unfair competition’ or under circumstances which tend to create a monopoly in behalf of the foreign producer in American mar- kets shall be forfeited. “I also recommend that legislation supplemental to the Clayton Antl- trust Act be enacted which shall make it lawful to sell or purchase articles of foreign origin or manufac- ture where the prices to be paid are materially below the current rates for such articles in the country of production or from is made in case substantially lessen prices on such competition or tend to create a monopoly in American market in favor of foreign producer, and that it be made unlawful for any person to buy, or contract for the sale of arti foreign origin, or to fix a price for same or to make a rebate upon such price, condtftioned upon the purchaser thereof not using or dealing in wares produced or sold by the competitors of the manufacturer or seller, where the effort is to substantially lessen competition -in the production in the United States of such articles, or tends to create a monopoly in the sale | of such articles in American markets in favor of a foreign producer. ¢ ‘Unfalr competition’ is forbidden by law in domestic trade, and the Do you experience a sensation of eye strain or afterwards suffer from m smarting, aching eyes or headache?

The door, however is still open to ‘unfair competition’ from abroad which may seriously affect American industries, for the worse. It is not normal competition of which I speak, but at normal. It is a destructive type of the industrial struggle, intended op- posed to it that the victor may ex- ploit the fleld at will. The methods used are not those of legitimate com- merce, but those of commercial of- fense. Thay aim not at development, but at conquest. ‘““When the war shall close, the npub- lic control of railways in foreign lands, the semi-official chambers of commerce, the public fostered organ- izations which control great industries in some countries, will exist ana ill all be used in an effort to recover lost commerce. The growth in the Uni- ted States of industries which may menace large markets heretofore con- trolled together in foreign countries can prevent it. The outreach of American industries, nay their very existence in our own land in sorae { cases, will be resisted to the fuil and every strategem of industrial war will be exerted against them. Expecting | this, we must prepare for it. Rt shall pass beyvond fair competition and exert or seek to exert a monopo- listic power over any part of our commerce, we ought to prevent it.” Co-operation of business roucerns | in foreign trade is suggested to permit | admission of the smaller tradesmen into that field of activity. Plays To Large Concerns. “The present law plays into the hands of the larger concerns and shuts out small ones from imporiant | markets,” the Secretary said. ‘“'Pro- vision should be made whereby such concerns may, with due safeguards against monopoly, co-operate in the ! | foreign field. To refuse this for of monopoly is to say that the large con- cerns shall alone hold the lJucrative i foreign markets and that the far larger number of smaller housecs shall be shut out. The whole mat- | ter should be placed under the pervision of the Federal Trade Com- on and should be subject to full | publicity. It is not intended that this co-operation shall extend into thc domestic field.’ i Mr. Redfield expressed the hope | that American banks be permitted to | co-operate under supervision of the Federal Reserve Board, in establish- ing foreign branches or in owning | stocks of banks operating in foreien su- countries. “The present law,” he said, ‘“‘oper- ates to make it possible only fori i 1 ! contained | vitalizes the blood, while the large banks of great power to under- take the important work of financing American commerce in foreign fields. The law works in sole favor of the great banks. There are many banks in the United States of less than major size, yet abundantly strong. These should be permitted under proper safeguards, to ac ly in such matters. There could hardly be a single step which at this time would be more helpful in estab- lishing our commerce abroad on a firm basis.” Internal Commerce Statistics. The opening of the Panama canal and the agitation for an inlanad water- way along the Atlantic coast, as well ' as the increased volume of domestic commerce, the secretary pointed out, make it important that statistics on internal commerce be prepared by the government. “It is a surprising thing that we should require by law careful knowl- edge concerning our export trade and allow our domestic commerce to gzo on without any definite knowledge concerning it. Congress will be asked for an appropriation sufficient to per- mit the beginning of an effort throw light upon a subject of such vast importance, but of which we know so little.” . The secretary paid high tribute to e ——————————————— SCHOOL TEACHER Anaemic, | Run-down, Nervous— How She Recovered.

Key West, Fla.—“I am a and became anaemic, nervous, teacher run- | down, no energy or desire to do any- thing, T could not sleep and had that languid, nervous feeling that made me a burden to myself. T had taken var- ious tonics without benefit T heard of Vinol and tried it. Soon I had a good appetite, could sleep all night and it built me up so T have the ambition to do any kind of work.”” Mary L. Baez, Key West, Fla. The reason Vinol was so successtul in this case is because it is a consti- tutional remedy that goes to the seat of trouble. The peptonate of iron in Vinol enriches and re- reng- thening, tissue-building properties of the extractives of cods’ livers and hees peptone aid in building up the tired, overworked, run-down system.—The Clarke and Brainerd Co., Riker- Hegeman Druggists, w Britain, Conn. to | the Bu Commerce and taches Finley ]. o Santa tunate this Shep!
