To the public h.m general and to the thousands of Canadian businessâ€" Addressing an association of muâ€" micipal purchasing agents, Mr. Henry advised that tendering situations susâ€" pected as collusive should be referred to his office as a matter of course, but that the circumstance of similiar bids would not in itself be cause for a forâ€" mal inquiry. "In the majority of cases of, identical tenders," he suggested "none of the bidders is prepared to lowâ€" er his price (usually based on his pubâ€" lished list) in order to obtain the conâ€" tract because each considers that any short term benefit to be obtained by sgecuring the contract by means of price concession will be outweighed by the long term detriment which will result from such a move. The problem is comâ€" pounded by a misunderstanding on the part of public bodies and the public itâ€" self in believing that every case of iden tical tenders reflects collusion among bidders." It is frequently reported in the press that a municipal council has reâ€" geived identical bids from several firms for the supply of some item. And often the suggestion follows that these idenâ€" tical bids must indicate collusion amâ€" eng competitors and that a charge should be laid under the Combines Inâ€" vestigation Act. But Mr. D. H. W. Henry, director of investigations in the Combinations Branch, recently went out of his way to say that identiâ€" cal bidding is almost always a reflectâ€" on of economic realities rather than an ef priceâ€"fixing. § Canadians as world citizens are inâ€" creasingly aware that knowledge and understanding, tolerance and compasâ€" sion, are the golden keys to the future.

Those Identical Bids The Faceless Children It may be difficult for governâ€" ments to legislate explicity in the antiâ€" combines field, but it seems even more difficult to apply the laws with justice and in a fashion that really serves the public interest. + "As an administrator of two antiâ€" trust laws diametrically opposed to each other," writes Mr. Mason, "it was not difficult for me to accuse everyâ€" body at a trade convention with being some kind of a lawbreaker. Either they w ere all charging everyone the same prices, indicating a violation of the Sherman Act, or they were not chargâ€" ing everyone the same price, indicating a violation of the Robinsonâ€"Patman Act. At one convention a man interrupted my speech to say the Commission had recently sued him for doing both. To which I replied, "Then in that event how can you win? We shali probably, find you guilty of one or the other.‘ His retort: ‘You damn fools found me guilty of both!‘" men who supply public agencies by competitive tendering, this is an imâ€" portant statement of principle. Too, it seems to indicate a more reasonable government attitude towards business in an area where regulations and their application often are unrealistic. Policâ€" ing of business there must be, but it is very easy for governments to fall into absurdities. An extrems example of this is reported in a book written by Lowel! Mason, a former administrator of the U.S. antitrust laws who gained fame by exposing their vagaries and injustices.

A newspaperman wondered if he could ask the leader another question. The leader said not just now, he had to talk to his men, because they paid his salary. Somebody shouted from behind a fence that he was a crook. "I agree with you," said the leader. One of his lieutenants asked him for funds. He reached in his pants pocket and pulled out a roll of bills as big as his big fist and peeled off $100 notes until the lieutenant said "enough"‘. He didn‘t say now, as he said earlier, that these are "the guys who‘s paying my salary." His air remained jaunty. "These men aren‘t on strike," he said.
