THE DAILY TAR HEEL , SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1947 Commendable Program Original Editors When a nation finds itself enmeshed in Mars arms of war, the people invariably turn to religion in their hour of need. But when the crisis passes, these people not all, but some have a tendency to return to their normal way of life in which religion hangs merely on life's periphery of interest. " Following World War I, this swing from religious emphasis to worldly interests occurred with increasing acceleration. Whether history shall repeat itself only time can determine. . Fortunately, there are those people sincerely and honestly working against such a repetition. Today Religion in Life Week presented by the Council for Re ligion in Life begins. The week runs through February 28. The purpose of this commendable program is best described by CRIL President Benjamin Perlmutter. "In presenting the Religion in Life Week to the University campus, the Council for Religion in Life is attempting to deepen and sharpen the sense of interdependence among all groups, whether religious or secular,, moral or political, who share our common heritage. "We hope that our program will increase the consciousness and understanding of religious forces among the student body, and that it will help promote understanding, cooperation and appreciation in the relations among religious faiths both in the University community and in the universal community. "The design of the seminars and lectures is to throw light on the subjects of intolerance and suspicion which can prevent our working together as a team to win the victories of peace. Im plied in this is the expectation that every person while loyal to his own group and conviction will respect and work with those of other groups. "We are meeting in the acknowledgment of the principal that the chief aim of religion is to teach the will of God and through his teaching to bring into clearer perspective the everyday problems of international affairs, of labor, of industry, and of politics. This is religion in life.' : : . ' I ITfflE Anti-Trust Legislation KCDQJWfTABOI By Josephine Fishel Tha noe f nnti-tmst legislation arose during the era following the Civil War; this period was known for the trust form of ownership and for the peak in production. Thurman Arnold, former assistant attorney general, cove w Q timp socialized techniques made "bigness" essential to producing goods in large quantities and at low prices; but "bigness" was re garded as a curse because it" led to monopoly and interf erred with operation of the laws of supply and demand. In order to control the monopolistic practices anti-trust laws appeared. As a result of the legalization of large Anniversary Waltz Today an inconspicuous little college weekly that advanced to such a state that it was recognized by a Harvard University pro fessor as ". . . the best, brightest, newsiest college weekly in the South . . ." waltzes into its 54th anniversary. Since then this same ambitious little newspaper has become "The Only College Daily in the Southeast" and owns an "A" rating among All-American college dailies. Not only has this paper, the Daily Tar Heel, trained many men who were to become leaders in the outside world of journalism, but it also has been the laboratory for the present heads of the University journalism department, 0. J. "Skipper" Coffin and Walter Spearman. Twice during its long life, the Daily Tar Heel has been guided by women editors contrary to the male's disparing cry against "women in journalism." The first of these coed editors was Kat Hill, elected to the post in 1943. Again in 1944 a woman took over the Ivory Tower when the PU Board appointed Muriel Richter to finish the uncompleted term of Horace Carter. Now a thriving four-page daily, the Daily Tar Heel is hoping for even greater successes. In the not. too distant future, the staff hopes for an eight-page daily presenting more news and features. The greatest qualities of a race, after all, are those of a man, not those of a gentleman, and neither North nor South needs colleges to learn them.

But unfortunately, such groups are still very much in existence in our heterogeneous world. Still, the war against Fascism has taught us a dynamic lesson about minority groups, and that is that the world is no healthier than its most oppressed minority. Moreover, we have learned that when majorities fail to deal equitably with weak groups, they plant the seeds of their own destruction. Take the so-called Jewish problem, for example. Some 5,700,000 of them "disappeared" during the reign of Nazism. The remnants of Europe's FOR THIS ISSUE: Night Editor: Chuck Hauser Sports: Morty Schaap Jewry are continuing this disappear ing act. This human residue from the Hitlerian crematoria are now con ducting a mass exodus from Europe which is making their exodus from Egyptian slavery appear like child's play by comparison. They are on their way to this place called Palestine, which we are told can absorb 4,000,000 addi tional persons. They are "illegal immigrants." Dr. W. T. Stace, writ ing in last month's Atlantic Month ly, refers to this mass movement to the Holy Land as a form of "ag gression" and "conquest." Other writers warn us that, after all, "the Arabs live there, too." What are the relative merits of the Arab and Jewish claims? The facts speak for themselves. 1. The political promises made to the Arabs during Wor.d War 1 have been proved not to refer to Palestine. The political promises (the Balfour Declaration) and treaties (the Man date for Palestine made to the Jews) definitely do. 2. The Arabs have lived in Pales tine as a majority group for hundreds of years. Who plans to dispossess rights for Americans as well as Brit ons." It is at this point that the anti Zionists are barking up an almost nonexistent tree. The issue here, as far as the-big powers are con cerned and this includes the U.S.S.R. as well is not the Jews., They are not concerned with moral or legal questions. They are con cerned with political and economic questions. In the eyes of the Brit ish and American governments (Truman's "requests" notwith standing) the Arabs must be ap peased if our oil concessions are not to be endangered. The Soviet Union also has a deep interest in the oil of the Arab coun tries. She has a stake also in encour aging the overthrow of British- con trolled feudalism in these countries and the establishment of governments more in line with her social program. Could Britain possibly risk the lib eration of a progressive Palestine and still hope to retain her subtle empire in the Middle East? Preposterous! Sheer imperialistic Suez-cide! In this light, one is better able to understand the somewhat unexpect- combinations and the lack of suffi cient control, the unjust monopolistic practices continued. The following is the basic legisla tion in effect today: 1. Sherman Anti trust Law of 1890, made combination in restraint of trade illegal; 2. The Clayton Act of 1914 forbade dis crimination in price between different purchasers of commodities; 3. The Federal Trade Commission was formed to enforce provisions of law covering fair trade practices; 4. The Interstate Commerce Commission was instituted in 1887 to establish equal treatment to shippers and reasonable rates be- j tween communities, with subsequent powers added in other acts; 5. The Robinson-Patman Act of 1936 had the objective of placing the indepen dent dealer on the same footing as the large chain store; 6. The Miller Tyding Act of 1937 legalized the making of contracts concerning resale price maintenance. As stated before these laws were not enforced properly, thereby causing the increased development of combinations. Reasons for this lack of effectiveness probably were ignorance of the laws on the part of the business men and lack of funds to put through an effective program. In 1933 a serious project was begun in the anti-trust division of the De partment of Justice to make these laws effective. The assistant attorney general was in charge of this anti trust division, and during the admin istrations of Harold Stephens, John Dickinson, and Robert H. Jackson the division added personnel and funds with which to begin its attack on the trusts. J In 1938 Thurman Arnold took over the job and by 194c5, when he leit the department, he had instituted 44 per cent of the total proceedings made in the 53-year history of the Sherman Act. He began an anti-trust enforce ment with new techniques by in stigating studies and attacks upon five different fields: a. attack against use of patents as a means of evading anti-trust laws; b. an investigation of housing and build ing industry; c. program dealing with cost of food distribution; d. a project concerning artificial costs . n transportation field, and e. a pro gram attacking international car tels. Putting these objectives into practice was hindered by the war; so the future still holds great pos sibilities for them. Appointed in Arnold's place was Windell Berge, who has continued with the far-reaching program of his predecessor. Berge has been faced with the problems of (1) labor unions conspiring with business firms to ef fect monopolies, raise prices, restrict production or bar the introduction of labor-saving techniques, and (2) the problem of the small business man. Berge said: "there are three funda mental reasons why anti-trust laws must be vigorously enforced: (1) the tremendous increase in the concen tration of economic power occurring during the war years; (2) the large number of mergers since the end of the war; and (3) the serious need for policing price-fixing agreements which will inevitably occur as a result of relaxation of OPA controls."

Nobody. Moreover, Palestine ed decision of Ernest Bevin this week is onlv one of a number of countries to turn the Palestine question over to wherein Arabs can create a life of 'the U. in. Assemory. ote: xne as their own. As a matter of fact, most of the other Arab countries are under populated and in need of settlers. The Jews, a completely displaced PEO PLE, have no such country. 3. The benefits of Jewish coloniza tion in Palestine speaks for itself. 4. Most of the Arabs fougltf for the Turks during the First World War and were connivingly neutral in this one. The Jewish contribution to both World Wars will also speak for itself. Surely, the moral and legal po sition of the Zionist and non-Zionist groups, who ask merely for the fulfillment of Articles 2, 6, 26, and 27 in the Mandate Treaty, is well nigh air-tight. But unfortunately it isn't "oil-tight," and there's the rub. It is the key to British policy in Palestine a completely "illegal" one over the past thirty years. The key to today's imperial king dom is oil. The entire Middle East is a gigantic Anglo-American oil well. Palestine forms the terminus of oil pipe-lines extending from surround ing Arab countries. War Correspon dent John Osborne writes in Febru ary's Harper's Magazine that "Brit ish forces and British diplomacy are now protecting that oil and those SEMBLY, not the Council). It is in the Assembly that the Arab (read British) states are overwhelmingly well-represented. Don't the Jews live there, too ? ? GERMAN SPONSORS TUESDAY The Daily Tar Heel regTets that pictures of the German club dance sponsors, which did not arrive until late yesterday afternoon, could not be included in today's issue. It is hoped that this montage may be in cluded Tuesday. SORORITY vOPEN HOUSE Alpha Delta Pi will hold their last open house of the quarter this eve ning from 7 until 8 o'clock, in their residence at 407 E. Rosemary street. John S. Williams, class of '42, is now working as a geologist with the Texas Petroleum Co. in Bogata, Co lumbia. James (Steve) Peck, class of '43, is now employed in a Baltimore in vestment banking house. Mary B. Stringfield, class of '45, is teaching piano at Mars Hill col lege, and also assisting in band and orchestral work. . No 'Blaze of Glory Endings Students residing in quonset huts may no longer fear ending their academic careers in a literal "blaze of glory" since, according to Opera tions Supervisor J. S. Bennett who yesterday told the Daily Tar Heel that fire extinguishers were placed in all huts on Friday., Also, according to Mr. Bennett, under the supervision of F. J. Le Clair, professional botanist, 11 men have been working in Victory Vil lage for the last six weeks to im- prove the scenic setting. These men have been digging shrubs along Mason Farm road for spring transplanting. On order also are 2500 pounds of grass seed. Unfortunately, the task is so difficult that officials do not see much prospect of completion this spring.
