QUEEN ELIZABETH
TRIED MONOPOLIES
IN YE OLDE DAYS
I Ity Frank I. Welter
WASHINGTON WH-Elizabeth, the
only child ot Henry VIU and Anuo
Boleyn, ruled more than three cen
turies before General Johnnon and
Clarence arrow went to the mat
over NRA "prlco-flxlng," but ahohad
something to do with the bints of
their row.
It seems the groat queen of Eng
land developed quite a flair along
about 1570 lor rewarding certain
craftsmen and artisans with tho ex
clusive right to manufacture and sell
their wares.
Elizabeth was co something of a
spot what with political, religious
and economic woes. It was no small
part of her strategy to best her foes
by tying the economic fortunes of her
influential subjects to her own per
sonal security.
The Swl Sown
By 1601 tho crown had granted so
many monopolies that parliament do
elded to take a hand In the interest
of the "little business num." Eliza
beth was not doing -so well In tier
dealings with tho legislative body, so
she yielded to tho theory that
monopolies act as restraints to tho
tree flow or the normal irauo ana
commerce which would como from
equal competition by all.
The oeed had been sown, however.
and thenceforth wherever men were
able to gain a virtual control over
tho production of a particular typo
-of article, the action constituted a
monopoly or "trust" which fixed
prices to consumers, sometimes with
out regard lor service or quality.
Early American court rested on
common law, generally holding agree
ments among producers void If they
tended to place a restraint on froo
and equal participation In, trade
About 1880, state legislators began
to enact laws, prohibiting combina
tions and consolidations of powerful
Interests which could undersell or
squcezo out less wealthy competitors
, "rrilft-lllitliifi'
Tho federal government stopped In
to the plcturo In 1800 with tho Bhcr
mau anti-trust law which sought to
guarantee free operation of competi
tion. Klatory. still rings with tho "trait-
busting" days of Thoodoro lioosevolt's
administration. In 1014 tho Clayton
act both modified and enlarged regu
lation sought by tho Sherman law.
and tho federal trade commission wns
set up to Investigate and report upon
organizations and corporations al
leged to bo Infringing on the anti
trust laws.
When tho national Industrial re
covery act was paused In 1033, con
gress provided that industries adopt
ing codes under NRA would bo ex
empted from certain provisions of the
anti-trust laws for two years.
It was tlio Idea that modified In-
austrlcs, through self-regulation,
would romovo unfair practices and
adopt uniform standarda of compo
tltlon. Th0 strong and tho weak were
to como In under ono roor and be
-brothors.
Harrow's Verdict
The Darrow report on NRA charged
that it fostered monoiwltcs to the
detrtmont of tho Uttlo ibuslncss man.
General Johnson disagreed. Senators
Borah of Idaho and Nye of North Lift
kote, immediately demanded rein
statement of anti-trust regulation.
Congress won ot expected to do
anything about it this session, uy
order of the president. NRA has sus
pended fair trade- practice provisions

Baer Is under contract to Madison

Prohibition, Suffrage On Program
Of Mexico's Next Chief Executive
. ' By (Clarke O. Le
MEXICO. D. P. UP) Barring un
predictable developments, General
Lazaro Cardenas. j40-ycar-old veteran
of revolutionary campaigns, will be
elected 45th constitutional president
of the republic on July 1. Lack of
any effective opposition virtually re
duces the voting to a formality.
With the opposition divided Into
threo . disagreeing factions, and ap
parently discouraged from any (force
ful actidV by the threat of the pow
erful government party to "answer
violence with violence," the campaign
has been lacking in general Interest.
Outstanding personalities and is
sues have likewise been absent. Car
denas' iprogram. the 6-year plan of
the national revolutionary party, or
"P. N. R.," was written long before
ho was nominated last December, and
much of It has already been put In
to effect toy President Abelordo Rod
riguez. Advances Mens Of Own
Under this plan Rodriguez has al
ready established a semi -government
petroleum company, made plans for
a ml -official electric light and
power company, has speeded up the
agrarian program and pushed high
way projects. Cardenas' work, there
fore, will jbe for the most part a con
tinuation of steps taken by Rodrig
uez. The soldier-candidate has indicated,
however, that he will possibly go out
side the 6-year plan, which has been
described Iby Ambassador Josephus
Daniels as "Mexico's new deal and
square deal."
Cardenas is reported Jto favor pass
age of a national prohibition law and
also legislation to enable women to
take a jgreafer part In politics and.
government.
Rumors of disagreements between
Cardenas and other leaders of the
party, reportedly displeased with
some of the candidate's ideas, have
been In circulation lor some time but
there have been no developments to
confirm them.
OpiKwltlon Field shrinks 1
In preparation for his 6-year term
in the presidency, which h0 expects
to, assume December 1, Cardenas has
served 03 governor of the state of
Michocan, president of the P. N. R.
and for a Ishort term as secretary of
war. Brief as this experience in pub
lic office has been, Cardenas would
enter the (presidency with a thorough
personal knowledge of tho country.
He has spent six months In an Inten
sive campaign tour.

Both of these opposition groups
support the .ideals of the revolution
but object to tho methods or the
present government leaders.

Coronel Adeiberto Tejcda, former
governor of Vera Cruz, has perhaps
the strongest" personal following of
the oppositionists, consisting chiefly
of agrarians In his home state. But
hd has said he has no hope of win
ning the election. '
Early in the campaign Tejeda an
nounced his intention of using "ether
means" to put Into effect his social

ag a communist and has the backing
of the peasants and workers lcajjuf
