proximately 27 per cent of all the
companies purchased. Thirty-three
of the top 200 corporations bought
an average of more than five com-
panies each and thirteen purchased
more than ten each.
With these giant corporations
steadily increasing their power at
the expense of small business, the
Commission warns that there must
be some effective means of stop-
ping the procedure or competition
will disappear. Corporations will
be able to achieve their monopolis-
tic goals and, eventually, will pos-
sess such a large degree of eco-
nomic control that the government
will be required to regulate in the
public interest or else take them
over for management by represen-
tatives of the people themselves.

WALLACE STRATEGY SEEKS
TO WIN ON PEACE ISSUE
The strategy of the Wallace
crowd, in the presidential election,
emerges as an effort to persuade
the people of this country that
unless they elect Henry A. Wal-
lace, they will lose all chances
of having peace.
This assertion is made by the
Wallace followers with faith, but
there are few facts' to support
any intelligent affirmation of the
correctness of the theory propound-
ed. The peace of the world, in-
cluding that of the United States, •
does not depend upon the man

prises to carefully concentrate up-
on the report of the Federal Trade
Commission. Because of loopholes
in the Anti-Trust law. the Trade
Commission says that

check the growth in concentra-
tion, either the giant corporations
will ultimately take over the coun-
try or the government will be im-
pelled to stfep in and impose some
form of direct regulation in the
public interest.”
This means, <says the Commis-
sion, that “in either event, collec-
tivism will have triumphed over
free enterprise, and the theory of
competition will have relegated to
the limbo of well-intentioned but
ineffective ideals.’’ The Commis-
sion believes that economic forces,
now operating, require a definite
choice to

since 1949. the merger movement
has resulted in the disappearance
of more than'-2,450 formerly in-
dependent manufacturing and min-
ing companies.
Other figures presented by the
Commission disclose that of the
nation’s 200 largest manufacturing
corporations, 123 have m^de cor-
porate acquisitions since 1940, ac-
1 counting in the aggregate for ap-

will go out of business earljr next ■
year.
At the present time, the agency
has slightly more than $5,000,000,-
worth of odds and ends to sell,
but officials point out that land
and buildings account for more
than $4,000,000,000, aircraft and j
parts for $760,000,000 and personal i
property only $475,000,000.
The Government has received,
according to the books of the
WAA. approximately $4,000,000,-
000. Of course, the original cost
is considerably above the sale or
second-hand value of the porperty.
Besides, some $9,000,000,000 worth
of property was given away.
Not every American is familiar
with the sale of surplus goods af-
ter World War I, but older readers
will recall the vast quantities of
food and clothing that were sold
to the people of this country. Some
may wonder what happened to the
stocks left over after the recent
conflict.
This is a natural question, which
so far as we know, has not been
fully answered. The probability is
that most of the disposable sur-
plus has been used to feed the
hungry people of other nations
and that the armed services retain-
ed in reserve supply, whatever
could be stored up for future
use.

because of an increase in the
wages paid employees.
The U. S. Steel Company is un-
der the fire of Representative
Jesse P. Walcott, of Michigan, who
thinks the $186.000,000-a-year price
boost may not be entirely justified
by the increase given to workers.
There are other companies that
are accused of boosting prices sev-
eral hundred per cent above the
[ increased cost attributable to wage
increases.
Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney, of
Wyoming, thinks* that the big com-
panies “have never made a good-
faith fight against inflation-’ ana
that the record of past years am-
ply proves that they have been
edging up prices, despite large
profits. He favors legislation to
halt inflation by prohibiting price
advances until after a public hear- •
ing before the Federal Trade {
Commission. I
These views are interesting ex-
pressions if those who have them
believe in what is termed “free
economy.” Certainly there is no
justification in denouncing the
steel company, or other large com-
panies, if they take advaritage of
a situation which enables them to
make tremendous profits if one is
definitely committeed to a free
economy, without any governmen-
tal controls.
The fact is that there should
be some form of control whenever
an abnormal scarcity of vital pro-
ducts threatens the safety of
economic machinery. However,
til the controls are put into
statute books, the way will
open for the seller to charge what
the public will pay and take ad-
vantage of a temporary scarcity
even if it is the result of a nation-
al emergency.
