The President’s Message.
President Wilson’s message on
trusts and other phases of busi
ness brought forth all-round ap
proval in the editorial columns
of some of the leading papers of
the country, as well as in Eng
land.
The St. Louis Globe-Democi'at:
“We had already recognized
the principle of safety involved
in a prohibition of interlocking
directorates, provided legisla
tion could make it possible that
directors openly representing in
terlocking corporations were not
replaced by others, less adroit
and efficient perhaps but count
ing no less in the voting of pool
ed stocks.
11 ml ___1 ~ J? am
XI1C upwoai wx au
trade commission is one we had
qualifiedly approved, and we are
glad to see that he proposes to
qualify it about as we did in his
saying that the country would
‘instantly approve’ such a body
but ‘would not wish to see it
empowered to make terms with
monopoly.’ ”
The Boston Globe:
“Peace, freedom and prosperi
ty in commerce and industry
were the keynotes of President
Wilson’s fifth message.
“Expected, but none the less
gratifying, was Mr.Wilson's
strong assurance that necessary
adjustments would be as simple
as possible, disturbing nothing j
essential; tearing nothing up
by the roots.”
“The Chicago Tribune:
“The nation’s struggles to ov
erthrow the power of concentrat
ed money are pretty well ended.
The epoch of uncontrolled indi
vidualism with its excesses of
predatory enterprise, is drawing
rapidly to a close. The enemy
has capitulated and the task re
cognized by virtually all today is
the task of consolidating the
popular victory ”
The New York Times:
“The measures the president
urges upon congress will not
alarm business. Though of un
equal merit none of them is dis
turbing. The railroads, we are
confident, will welcome “a law
which will confer upon the inter
state commerce commission the
power to superintend and regu
late the financial operations,’ by
which they are henceforth to be
supplied with money for their
development.”
The Evening Post:
“Interlocking directorates * *
are to be ‘effectually prohibited,’
though time is to be allowed in
which to make the change ‘with
out inconvenience or confusion.’
Something here will depend on
the full scope of the prohibitory
law. Supervision by the inter
state commerce commission over
new railway security issues is
definitely advocated; and to this
we are inclined to think, even
the railroads will offer no ob
jection.”
The London Daily Mail:
“Nothing could be more oppor
tune or more heartening than
this recognition of the facts—
that a state of war between the
government and the world of
business is unnatural; that the
temper of the combatants on
both sides has changed and there
is little or nothing to prevent
their friendly co-operation
henceforth.
“The spirit in which the pres
ident submits his proposals to
the judgment of congress and of
the country is certainly not one
of enmity toward legitimate bus
iness.”
How Canada Won ’Em Over.
Canadian officials have come
forward and frankly told a con
gressional investigating commit
tee the secret of the emigration
uf thousands of American farm
ers to the bleak prairies of the
Canadian northwest. They have
testified that the Canadian gov
ernment spent seventy thousand
dollars a year for publicity in
the United States. They were
not altogether ethical in their
methods, or those with whom
they dealt were not. because
they put out their paid matter
a the form of news, and to that
extent imposed upon the Ameri
can reading public. But they
?stablished as a fact what every
newspaper claims, that “it pays
to advertise.” And in this par
ticular instance it paid big. It
s estimated that from two hun
dred fifty to three hundred thou
sand American farmers were in
luced to settled in Canada, and a
conservative estimate of the
property they carried with them
is one thousand dollars each.
This makes a gain in national
wealth in personal property a
lone of three billion dollars, and
this takes no account of the val
ue of the Americans as citizens
and developers of the resources
of the country. Yes, indeed, it
pays to advertise,;—Fort Smith
