Senator Benton, of Connecticut, is worried about monopolies . in Great

Britain, and has a suggestion to make in regard to them. Why he is so worried I am not clear; my impression is that it is difficult to discover enough alleged monopolies to keep the Monopolies Comniission occupied. But the Senator thinks differently. Indeed he generously suggests " the establishment with American funds of Professorial chairs in British institu- tions the learning for the purpose of inculcating anti-monopoly thinking and on the long range." I feel some doubt about what field a Monopolies Tripos at Cambridge or Monopoly Mods. at Oxford would attract.
