AKING the view that the country has outgrown its anti-trusi ateurs in the infamous trade “I have become convinced that the advanco in ethical { purpose, in moral perception, in a higher grade of practice in the business world has separated it widely from the actual conditions with which the anti-trust laws were originally en- acted to deal, so that the form and substance of these laws as they stand in literal form relate in no small part to a past which if not dead is at least dying.” | That “as they stand in literal form,” the anti-trust laws may “have become obsolete, is possible. But have the “actual conditions” progressed quite as far in the! s@irection of moral perception and practice as Secretary Redfield | thinks? "No longer ago than last December the Federal ‘Trade Commission | made « sensational report to Congress alleging “the present day emmtence of a meat combination among the five big packers” and (e@eclaring that “such competition as appears to exist is limited and ' While the chargo was hotly denied by the packers and tho Greumstances of the investigation and report were not as strictly open and judicial as they should have been, has it been possible to demonstrate to American consumers that the high prices they WAL) led to pay for meat, dairy products and shoe leather have been the wremalt of nothing but the highest ethical purpose and fairest co-opera wiive (if not competitive) methods among the big meat packing “\ oencerns? | ‘ve «Does the retail price of fish depend on wholesale fish dealers who wan be depended on in all cases to let increased supply benefit ~re “,pablic by lowering prices?

Secretary Redfield may be right in maintaining that American ‘besiness will be more co-operative than competitive in future and ‘that the old anti-trust legislation as it stands in the statute books 15 out of date.

The once mighty nation was split up into a group of little kingdoms, some of them calling themselves inde pendent (without being so at all) and several others frankly subject to Austria, Besides these there wero Papal states. Sardinia was one of the petty kingdoms of Italy which could not learn by experience to submit tamely to the Austrian After one unsuccessful rebellion Against his country’s tyrants Sardinia’s King, Charles Albert, resigned his throne to his swarthy soldier son, Vietor Emmanuel. This was In 1849, Victor Emmanuel thus became the ruler of a downtrodden and pennt- ‘less and demoralized little realm.
