So this is a rather special case In which it ' seems well that a government official did violate the old established proprieties by selling the by product of his mission in competition with private industry. In fact, the old established proprieties have been pretty effectively disestablished under. this government The competition with private industry as soon as thtlection.rturnj..w.era.Jn.T.-Ti- began when the late Louis .Howe went to market like a r with a satchel of manuscripts and even adopted his own version of forcing, a device which Thurman Arnold holds to be violative of the Sherman Act, to sell his goods. Under Mr. Howes plan, if you wanted to buy a story-b- y one of the stars of his suddenly literary group, ... you had to buy also one or more turkeys or fillers by lesser wtiters. THE ENGLISH PRACTICE Of course, the practice of selling the literary of public office is not new and has been more familiar in England than here formany years. But ordinarily and under the old propriety, the author was supposed to wait until he was out of office and usually suspended his journalistic work when he returned to some public job, as many of therrrofterrdtd.
