Reasons For Caution.

The president adds that there are
many reasons for caution in dealing
with corporations He says:
The same business conditions which
have produced the great aggregations
of corporate and individual wealth
have made them very potent factors in
International commercial competition.
Moreover, it cannot too often be
pointed out that to strike with ignorant
violence at the interests Of one set Of
men almost inevitably endangers the
interests Of all. The fundamental rule
in our national lifp-the rule which I'M
derlies all others-is that, on the whole
and in the long run, we shall go up or
down together.
The mechanism of modern business
is so delicate that extreme care must
be taken not to interfere with it In
spirit Of rashness or ignorance. In
