Tt OSZGON STATESMAIf, CcdsxauOrecpn, Tuesday Morning, Dtces&cr 22. 1512 tGL I Capper Calls Arnold Wrong On AP Suit WASHINGTON. Dec 21 rVP) Senator Capper (R-Kas) declared Sunday he thought Thurman Ar nold, assistant attorney general, was "wrong in classifying the As- eociated Press as violating , the anti-trust laws." . '-i '.-.- ' , i -, "I don't understand how be al lowed himself to be forced to bring that proceeding, which' I believe the courts will never sustain," the ' senator said in a ' discussion ' of free enterprise prepared for broad cast over radio station WJBW, To i peka, Kas. Capper is publisher of The Topeka Capital and a mem ber of the AP. Capper said he agreed with Ar nold's belief in the doctrine of production in abundance and that be also believed "in the American way of life, in the doctrine of -opportunity for the individual, as opposed to the doctrine of regi mentation of the individual in the Interest of social security. , "We can have an economy of abundance, after the war, instead of an economy of scarcity,. Cap per, continued. "But we cannot have abundance if we follow the practice of restricting production instead of encouraging production. "No farmers ; that ; I . know of believe in the doctrine of scarcity. restricted production. Neither do many responsible farm leaders, in agriculture or in congress, believe in restricted production. "But farmers producing in abundance had to exchange their goods for other goods and services provided on a scarcity basis, and for a while have been following a similar program trying to bal ance one wrong with a similar wrong. I hope we' can get rid of both wrongs in the post-war period. ' "Right now, we may as well admit, we have got hold of a bear by the tan, and the best we can do is t hold on to what we have, and plan to take advantage of the first opportunity to correct the more obvious evils in our scheme of things, "v v "What I mean by this is that in the revamping of our affairs " following the war, we must try to get rid of restrictive policies and program in our own country while regaining and retaining enough national self-sufficiency that we can stand upon our own feet in this troubled world and then produce the things we need in abundance. "We must do this if we are to survive; probably unless we do it America, modern civilization it self, may not survive.
