Following President Roose velt's declaration some months ago that monopoly was the paralyzing barrier to recovery, several prosecutions have been initiated by Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney gen eral. Meanwhile a new investigation of the monopoly problem is just getting under way in the national capital. ; Among the cases instituted by Arnold were those against three large automobile manufacturing firms, alleging viola tion of the law in the tieup between these firms and certain auto purchase financing companies. Two of these cases have been dropped as a result of "consent decrees" proposed by the manufacturers; the third is expected to go to triaL The nature of these "consent decrees" is now attracting the dose attention of political analysts, ineir resemDiance to the "codes of fair competition" that prevailed under the NRA is remarked. They cover not only the points at issue in the anti-trust law complaint, but other practices of the firms concerned. Suspicion that this is the new entering wedge for regimentation of business is expressed. If this is so however, the regimentation would have to be limited-to those companies which are big enough to be subject to sus picion of monopoly. And the defendants of course have the option of going into court to fight the anti-trust law com plaint, rather than accepting the terms of the decree. The dropping of prosecution when the decree is accept ed has some of the earmarks of coercion, and the suspicion along this line is enhanced by knowledge of the new deal the ories and of the desire to restore the NRA principles. It may be that the large industries need some restraint to prevent monopolistic practices, but this should be done in orderly fa- ttliinn and nrvwi th basis ! nf the mnnrmnlv investigation's findings, and not by indirection. This development suggests that despite the apparent mandate of the 1938 elections in opposition to extreme 'tendencies-of the new deal, the left wingers of the administration are not inclined to halt their drive for governmental regulation of business. Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS 11-8-St Opposing State Trade Barriers Much attention has been paid in recent months to the evil of trade barriers raised between states. Now at last something is being done about it, though so far the activity has been confined to preliminary ground-breaking. The issue was raised at a regional meeting of the Council of State Gov ernment in Chicago. Delegates from 14 states, mostly mem bers of the state legislatures, participated in the discussion. These men, sitting around a conference table at which a regional viewpoint was inevitable, appear to have agreed un animously that the interstate trade barriers were bad in prin ciple. They will report back to their legislatures and urge that something be done, but in those tribunals where an intrastate viewpoint will prevail the agreement is not likely to be so general. Also numerous difficulties of detail will arise, and no doubt some suspicion Of neighboring states good faith in the matter. It may take a second Secretary Hull to bring about a mutual removal of "ports of entry" and discrimin atory taxes on the products of other states. ; : There are strict limits to the validity of the "trade at home" argument As between the retail stores of the home community and those of a city 20 or 50 miles away where prices are 2 per cent lower but cost of gasoline consumed in going there to trade more than offset the difference, it is a fine solgan. But if Michigan wants to sell automobiles in Ore gon it will have to take some Oregon butter or lumber, and to that end, it will only hurt its own economy if it raises by sub terfuge a "tariff" barrier on these Oregon products. Oregon will in return raise a barrier against Michigan automobiles and as a result the trade of both states suffers. The values of international trade barriers are subject enough to question; interstate barriers are indefensible except as retaliatory measures to be adopted if negotiation does not convince the nleijghboring state of the error of its ways. Britain Next? Premier, Chamberlain's policy of "appeasement" is fast being used by the -dictators as one of "a-piece-ment," with the dictators picking up the pieces. No sooner does Hitler ab sorb Austria and Sudetenland than Hungary and rolana nick off chunks of Czechoslovakia for their share of the booty, as many, that is, as the powerful overlord at Berlin will allow them. Now Mussolini, who has been chafing up stage all summer, struts loudly downstage with a demand for Tunisia, part of France s African colonial empire. ' Tunisia is the land where ancient Carthage once stood. This great city, as the schoolboys know, was captured by an cient Rome after a series of wars, the Punic wars, they are called in the history books; and Carthage was utterly de stroyed. Mussolini has dreamed dreams of restoring tne old Roman empire: and reconauest of this land on the southern shore of the Mediterranean seems to be his next adventure after Ethiopia. France protests; so now the usual game of bluff will start again. Premier Chamberlain might reflect, however, that Cae sars legions, after their triumph in Gaul (modern rrance) conquered Britain. Will Mussolini, after his recapture of an cient Carthage, demand the cession of Britain clear' to Had- . nan's wall, between the Sol way and the TyneT That indeed nwuiu ouicjjr test, viumuuci iaiu o jvmjr v iootmtm. Persons re-visiting New York City will soon miss anoth er old landmark; the "Sixth Avenue El," which rattled across Broadway diagonally in the vicinity of 34th street- The city has bought this 60-year old utility and will demolish at to la ciltate development of the streets which it rendered unsight ly. Its history dates back to the period of Jay Gould, in whose gigantic and much-criticized financial operations this line figured. A new subway will be completed in a few months to serve the commuters who have patronized the "El." ; Roll of honor crows: men who learned her and saved the Union for America, democracy for wcrld: S " This series draws near Its close.

Birthplace, Fairfax county, Vir ginia. His grandfather was a general of the Revolution; his father served In the Florida wars. He was in the 1845 West. Point graduating class, assigned to frontier duty in Kansas and Wis consin, then "assigned to the Army of the West, and served in the Mexican war: la the battles of San Pasqual, Passage of the San Gabriel River, and the Plains of Mesa. (Quoted words from the Dictionary of I Biography.) Again quoting the same authoritative source: "After the war. Davidson was again on the frontier. He took part in the Indian fights at Clear Lake, Russian River, and Sacra mento River, California. In 1854, he led the force that defeated the JicarUla Apaches at Cieneguilla, New Mexico, where he himself was wounded. After their defeat, the Indians came back with a surprise attack, and the whites barely escaped annihilation. Da-' vidson received a promotion to captain following those engage ments." (The quoted words are from the Dictionary of Biog raphy.) 1 U S At the beginning of the Civil war he was offered a commission in - the Confederate service, but, though a- Virginian by birth, and by ties of family and education, he remained loyal to the Union. In February, 1862, he -became a brigadier general of volunteers; commanded a brigade in the Peninsular campaign; was in the battle of Gaines's Mill and Gold ing's Farm; was bre vetted a colonel in the regular army for gallant conduct. He led his troops in the ac tions at Savage Station and' Glen- "dale, and commanded the St Louis district in 18(2: com manded the Army of Southeast Missouri the following year, and the Army of Arkansas in 1883-4. He was the chief of cavalry in the Division of West Mississippi in 1885; participated in the Little Rock expedition; directed the movement of troops against Pilot Knob, Frederickstown and Cape Girardeau; drove Marmaduke out of Missouri; commanded in the actions of Bayou Metre and Ash ley's Mills, Ark., and, Jan. '5, 1866, received the brevets oj brigadier general and major gen eral, for his campaign against Little Rock, and was mustered out of the volunteer service and assigned to the - 2nd Cavalry; served in the inspector general's department (18(6); was profes sor of military science and tac tics in the Kansas Agricultural College, 1868-71. m Davidson held various com mands in Indian Territory and Texas during the next seven years. March 20, 1879, he became colonel of the 2nd Cavalry, and served in the districts of Yellow stone and Fort Custer, Montana. His horse fell on him; he died four months later. S Charles Henry Davis is -entitled to a place on this roll, and is given number 123. Born at Boston January 16, 1807, he lived until Feb. 18, 1877. He, was the youngest of the 13 children of Daniel Davis, solicitor general of Massachusetts. The boy became a midshipman in 1824, on the frigate United States, then on the Dolphin. In 1827, by examination, sixth in a class of 39, he was made a lieu tenant. He was In the Mediter ranean on the Ontario, 1829-32, then lieutenant of the flagship Vincennes. 1833-5. (The sloop of war Vincennes was the flagship of Charles Wilkes in his explor ing expedition, 1838-42, on which he visited Oregon, Washington, etc., etc.) Davis, on the Independence, visited Russia, then Brail L Be tween cruises, Davis attended Harvard; finally took his degree. He steeped his mind with, scien tific knowledge; wrote a book, "Geological Action of the Tidal and Other Currents of the Ocean," then another book, "The Law of Deposit of the Flood Tide." He was the prime mover in establishing the nautical Al manac, in 1849, and was one of the founders of the National Academy of Sciences. "Promoted to commander in 1854, he resumed sea duty in command of the St Mary's, In the Pacific, 1856-9, during which service he secured the release of the filibuster, Henry Walker, and his fellows, besieged at Rlvas. Nicaragua." (Quoted worda from the Dictionary of Biography.) In the Civil war. Davis was on several important commissions to They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo 'i 71 V rX)NOU?

At Port Roy al, for instance, he laid down the strategy that Dewey followed in the battle of ManUa, fought May 1, 1898. Ia 1862, Davis had charge of the upper Mississippi gunboat flotUla above Fort Pil low. During the Spanish-American war, he had charge of the op erations which, July 27, 1898, forced the surrender of Ponce, Porto Rico, preparatory to oc cupancy of the army. Davis waa made rear admiral in 1904; thereafter he command ed a division of the squadron of the Atlantic fleet. He had a son of the same name Charles Henry Davis, in the United States navy. "The Sam name has been on the rolls of the American navy for 105 years, with one or more active officers to represent It." was written not long since. To Martin Thomas McMahon is accorded number 124 on this distinguished roll of honor, and the next number will go to Ad miral Faragut. McMahon was-born at La prairie, Canada, March 20, 1838. V "He was special agent for the postoffice department for the Pacific Coast and was in the period before the CivU war In dian agent," says a blograprlcal sketch of McMahon. In the mean time he was ad mitted to practice law, and in 1861 entered the Union army as a volunteer and was made aide de camp of General McClellan. In 1862 he was adjutant general and chief of staff for the 6th Army Corps, and served in that capacity under General W. B. Franklin, John Sedgwick and H. O. Wright and he served in the Army of the Potomac up to the surrender of Lee. S t After the war McMahon was adjutant general for the Depart ment of the East. He was brevet ted brigadier general and major general of volunteers. In 1866-7 ho was corporation attorney for the city of New York. In 1868-9, General McMahon was U. S. minister to Paraguay.

CDnn rtBnB IBeen'iH By DOROTHY THOMPSON At the meeting of th National Republican Committee in Wash ington this week a showdown be tween the liber al and the con s e r v a tive de nt eats .was reported as averted. The controversy b e tween the con servative ele ment and those who insisted that the . party emphasis mast 3k Thsmesss) be placed on, lib eralism was not permitted to go to the floor. As a matter of fact. If It had gone to the floor it probably would have : gotten nowhere, be cause the issue would have been fought chiefly around personali ties and not ideas. The. issue will not be. an issue until a program comes out, a program which can be discussed. Glenn Frank, the chairman of the Program Committee, announced that the final report will not be made until late next year, and that it will contain an expression of political, social and economic philosophy; an objective assess ment of the consequences of New Deal policy and administration in the political life, economy, enter prise, and moral fiber of the Am erican people; and, finally, a pro gram of specific policies for dealing with the major problems confronting the government. It is the last part of the pro gram which will be saost impor tant. The critique of the New Deal has already been made, largely by experience, and the last elections showed, I think, thst the criticism is being made by the American public. As I pointed out in this column immediately after the elections, the various polls of public opinion show pretty clear ly where that criticism ia cen tered. It Is the last part of the program that of specific policies for dealing with the major problem's confronting us that is no doubt causing the Program Committee the most trouble, but this is not so mueh a problem of liberalism versus conservatism as it is a pro blem of analysis and intelligence. The most hopeful Sign in the Republican party Is that, in In conspicuous ways, new minds are operating, who are approaching such problems as Unemployment, agriculture, taxation, monetary policy, trade, relief, and the rela tions between capital. Industrial management, labor and govern ment in a refreshingly scientifl spirlL They are, that is to say, at tempting to formulate a picture of a progressive, peaceful, democra tic society in which equilibrium will not be sacrificed to expan sion, nor lexpsnsion to equili brium. To put a label on such a pro gram is to confuse its aims, for its apepal would not be to liberalism, progressivlsm, conservatism, or any other ism, but to common sense. It would certainly not be reactionary 'If conserva tism means the. recognition of th? strength inherent in long - estab lished customs and ways of life and work, then it would be con servative. If conservatism, how ever, means unwillingness to rec ognize obvious dilemmas, clashes, maladjustments and injustices In our present society, growing out of past errors, previously uncritl cized formulas and blind class in terest, then it would be liberal. And in so far as It recognizes that politics is the art of possibili ties it would be moderate. o The important issue in the Re publican ranks seems to be whe ther the political leaders, bent more on winning an election than oc performing a statesmanlike service, will be willing to listen to the minds who believe that the way to win the next election is to perform a statesmanlike service. It has occurred to some of them that this country is terribly tired of slogans, is wearv of th eacaphony of absolute meaning less woras, is tired of attacks and is ready to listen to a pro rram that nreaumes the xftno of a large amount of good will and tne capacity of the American peo ple to listen to reason. These Renublican nlannera. vhn exist snd are working, do not be long to tne more conspicuous or vocal politicos. They want a pro gram which does not appeal to "labor." "farmers." "bankers." "capitalists." but to the reason ability. inteUla-enc a nit unn nf solidarity and Independence of tne American people as a whole. This spirit Is much more like ly to come up from the Republi can ranks than the Democratic, simply because the Republicans have the opportunity to start fresh, unencumbered by the nec essity of supporting their past ac tions. They hsve the enormous advantage of the fact that their past actions are far enough In the past so that many of them can be repudiated or forgotten. There are enormous numbers of discontented citizens waiting for a new formulation of an Am erican program, and these citizens are in all ranks and in all class es. Copyright, im.
