Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigation of Concentration of Economic Power, Vol. 38: Temporary National Economic Committee; A Study of the Construction and Enforcement of the Federal Antitrust Laws Those who have lost faith in competitive institutions attribute this failure to the allegedly mistaken purpose of the Sherman Law. To them, competition has been tried and found wanting; they indict it as inefficient, wasteful, and obsolete; it is an archaic system, contrived for the needs of petty trade but utterly unsuited for the highly organized and war-strained economy of the twentieth century. Others profess agreement with the objectives of the legislation which they characterize as laudable but unattainable; the Sherman Act, to their way of thinking, like national prohibition, is incapable of enforcement. Under these viewpoints the Sherman law is beyond redemption and must give way to new legislation based upon different conceptions and pointed toward different objectives. The failure of a statute, however, may result not from a misconceived policy but from faulty draftsmanship or from frustrating judicial con struction; the objectives of a law may remain unachieved not because they are unattainable but because they have not been earnestly pur sued by vigorous, impartial, and effective enforcement. Laws to a large extent are only as effective as the men who enforce them. The procedural and substantive limitations of a statute may be overcome by the resourcefulness and energy of enforcement agencies, but laws, no matter how perfect, are never self-executing, and without sufficient manpower, remain a pious aspiration untranslated from the realm of words to that of action. A law which has never been truly enforced cannot be said to be unenforceable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
