' ' An Economic Study. On April 29,^President Roosevelt sent a ferial message, to Congress on monopolies. He called for "a thorough study of the concentration of economic power in American -in-N dustry and the effect of that concen tration upon the decline of competi tion." Five days later Senator CPMahoney, of W yoming, introduced a resolution to provide for an executive legislative investigation into the rouses and effects of the concentra tion of economic power and financial control over industry. Considerable discussion followed as to the composition of the proposed roraraission and the control of funds dlotted<1ra^the inquiry. The Presi- j lent suggested a that the matter be investigated bythe Federal Tirade ' Commission, the Department of Jus dee, and the Federal Securities 'and Exchange Commission. There was tome sentiemnt in Congress for qn , nvestigation by members of Congress rithout participation of executive of 'icials except at the pleasure, of the Commission. However, as finally pas sed by the Senate,' the Commission :onsists of twelve persons, including hree senators, three representatives md one person each representing the departments of Justice, the Treasury, Commerce and Labor, the Securities tnd Exchange Commission, and the federal Trade Commission. ''OR Controls Industry. j Considerable argument was also j lad over the disposition of $500,000 ] nade available to. finance the inquiry. ] [here was sentiment in Congress to 1 eave the entire sum in the control < if the Commission itself.

This would j >ermit the President to provide funds i 0 various Department and agencies ?] f the Government in the proceed Of. he investigation. It was assailed as i 1 surrender by Congress of its prerO- f stives, but nevertheless was accept- i id. 1 ? ( Senator CMahoney, in a radio ad- < Iress, declared that "the. whole-qcp- J lomic system has broken down be- 1 ause we have permitted-it to be < privately controlled for the advpn age of those exercising control in- 1 itead ofrseeing to it that it is publicly i ontrolled for the benefit of all," He i nsists "Hie anomalous fact that stares i is -all in the faca is that the world'i iroduces more than-enough to; enable i iverybody to enjoy plenty, but mil- 1 ions through no fault of their own, ^ pre in want and misery." _ Iroad Far-Reaching.
