MONOPOLIES
POST-WAR MENACE. I,ON DON, May 28. Informed opinion holds that the widespread war-time “telescoping” of industry will have important peace-time consequences, because of the encouragement given to amalgamation into larger and more ellicicnl manufacturing and distributing units. The Australian Associated Prc-sss financial writer says the social aspects of such development as far as the future of the small trader is concerned are not ignored, but there is nevertheless a growing feeling that distribution costs have frequently been too high in the past, and that by reducing these costs a higher reward for the producers should become possible without raising charges to consumers. The Food Ministry’s war-time control has led many to think along these lines where foodstuffs are concerned, even to envisage organisations like Unilever and Lovell and Christm.afe, to assume semi-public utility status in the post-war economic set-up.
