This, according to his address, is clue to the fact that between business the business men generally are alive to the fact that they must conform to the law and are appar ently willing to do this. President Wilson’s address fol lows in full: “Gentlemen of the congress “Tn my report ‘on the state of the union,’ which I had the privi lege of leading to you on the 1st of December last, I ventured to -ave for discussion at a later date the subject of additional leg islation regarding the very diffi cult and intricate matter of trusts and monopolies. The time now seems opportune to turn to that great question; not only because the currency legislation, which absorbed your attention and the attention of the country in De cember is now disposed, hut also because opinion appears to he clearing about us with singular rapidity in this other great field of action. In the matter of the currency it cleared suddenly and very happily after the much de bated act was passed; in respect I to the monopolies which havel multiplied about us and in regard to the various means by which! they have been organized and J maintained it seems to he coming! a clear and all Imt universal I reeinent in anticipation of our tion, as if by the way of prop- ation. making the way easier to r* and easier to set out upon th confidence and without con fusion of counsel. “Legislation has its atmosphere like everything else and the at mosphere of accommodation and mutual understanding which we now breathe with so much re freshment i.s matter of sincere eongratulatioons.

The government and business men are ready to meet each other half way in a common effort to square business methods with both public opinion and tlie law. The best in formed men of the business world condemn the methods and process es and consequences of monopoly as we condemn them; and the in stinctive judgment of the vast ma jority of business men everywhere goes with them. We shall now lie their spokesman. That is the strength of our position and the sure prophecy of what will ensue when our reasonable work is done. “When serious contest ends, when men unite in opinion and purpose, those who are to change their ways of business joining with those who ask for the change, it is passible to effect it in the way in which prudent and to do. industrial devehq • ham- ination to scores of me css ns been obliged to sen,, prefer | abilities entitled then put it ; It will immensely Ii young men eoniing on and w greatly enrich the business acti ities of the whole country. “In the second place, busiiu men, as well as those who dire • In i ■ 1 nst r *. hi, 1, Ii: •d th. icir point up to which ennihinntio cct. may be consistent with the puhli the interest and the freedom of trad, 1 1 cannot alwavs be dissected int -j their component units as rcadil. as railroad companies or similar s organizations can he.

He cannot af ford, lie has not tlie power to make iis of such processes of in quiry as the government lias com mand of. Thus shall individual justice he done while the process es of business are rectified and squared with the general con science. “I have laid the ease before you, no doubt as it lies in your own mind, as it lies in the thought of the country.

On the contrary, we dcsir the laws we are now about to pas to he the bulwarks and safeguards of industry against the forces that have disturbed it. What we have to do can he done in a new spirit, in thoughtful moderation, with- out revolution of an untoward kind. ‘We are all agreed that private the atmosphere of suspicion and monopoly is indefensible and in- antagonism which has so long tolerable, and our program is made it impassible to approach J f OIIn ,j C( j upon that conviction.

I’pon this question those who are ehielly re sponsible for tlie actual manage ment and operation of the rail roads have spoken very plainly and very earnestly, with a pur pose we ought to he quick to ac cept. It will he one step, and a very important one, toward the necessary separation of the bus iness of the transportation. “The business of the country awaits also, lias long waited and has suffered because it could not obtain further and more explicit legislative definition of the policy and meaning of the existing anti trust laws . Nothing hampers bus iness like uncertainty. Nothing daunts or discourages it like the necessity to take chances, to run the risk of falling under the con demnation of the law before it can make sure just what the law id. Surely we are sufficiently fu- miliar with the actuul processes and methods of monopoly and of the many hurtful restraints of trade to make definition possible, at any rate up to the limits of what experience has disclosed. the instrumentalities of business must every candid man say of the to do things which public policy suggestions I have laid before and sound business practice eon- you, of the plain obligations of demii.

It should he one of the main objects of our legislation to devest such persons of their corporate cloak and deal with them as with those who do not represent their corporations, hut merely by deliberate intention break the law. Business men the country through would, I am sure, applaud us if we were to take ef fectual steps to see that the of ficers and directors of great bodies were prevented from bring ing them and the business of the country into disrepute and dan ger. “Other questions remain which will need very thoughtful and practical treatment. Enterprises, in these modern days of great in dividual fortunes, are oftentimes interlocked, not by being under the control of the same directors, the country is not prepared?
