Arnold Stresses. U.S. Role
In International Economy
Reiterates Belief
In UN's Failure
"Our commitments in foreign
countries should be looked upon
as investments," Thurman Arnold,
chief trust buster in Roosevelt's
administration, told students at
a general convocation Monday
afternoon in the Union ballroom.
Pointing out that no other na
tion could be compared with this
country, Arnold spoke of Russia
as a land where "20 million are
starving. How could she com
pete with our exports?"
After reiterating his belief that
the United Nations Organization
was doomed to failure "because
there is no power in small, in
dependent nations," Arnold said
that he believed world pressure
would force us to accept our ob
ligations in" Greece.
Responsibility.
"I hesitate to undertake the re
sponsibility for the world," he
said, "but I believe we will be
forced to do so." He explained
that the smaller nations had Great
Britain as their bulwark, and with
the collapse of the British Em
pire, that bulwark was wiped
away.
It was in this background that
Arnold set forth his belief that
our foreign commitments should
be considered as investments. In
order to have an expandi- econ
omy we must be able to invest
abroad, to make goods, and take
those which the other nations can
produce.
This he elaborated by showing
that a healthy world economy
woulfl need to be free from re
straints to trade, and that a
healthy national economy would
need the same freedom. This is
what his anti-trust division sought
to accomplish by the numerous
anti-monopoly suits of the past
decade.
