measures upon operations falling wholly within the domestic field.
"Turning to the arguments advanced in behalf of the negotiations
of these super-state cartels, we find the contention that cartels are a
necessary device to safeguard industry and invested capital against un
fair and destructive competition and the wastes which result from wide
fluctuations in industrial activity— that they serve to permit the order
ly development of industries and stabilize prices.
"Now all of that argument begs the question of what is best for the
general welfare. Like the League of Nations’ definition that: 'Cartels are
associations of independent undertakings in the same or similar branches |
of industry established with a view to improving conditions of produc
tion and sales,’ it fails to state to whom the benefit or improvement
accrues. The answer is obvious, since the primary purpose of cartels is
to restrict competition. Competition, bringing better products at lower
prices, benefits the consuming public. So whatever restricts competition,
in the long run harms the public welfare. Price stabilization usually
means the establishment of a rigidity designed to protect high cost
and marginal producers. It destroys incentives for low-cost policies.
Thus, cartels operate against the smaller or relatively newer enterprises
which, through increased efficiency, are challenging the position of
larger and older enterprises when the latter have become waterlogged
through obsolescence and inefficiency.”
