After speaking on the Cuban and

welt spoke on trusts as follows; I'm
der our form OF government, with its
great decentralization of power, some
problems must be solved through the
work of private individuals working by
themselves; others by the association
into organized bodies of groups OF pri-
vate citizens. and ethers yet through
the various governmental agencies OF
municipal, state and nation. Especially
great, especially difficult. are tha prob
lens caused by the growth and ccncen-
traton of great individual, and, above
all. great corporate fortunes. IL is inn
mensely for the interests Of tho coun-
Try that there should be such individ-
ual and corporate wealth as long as ii
IS used right. and when not used right
/ then it becomes a serious menace and
danger The instruments and methods
with which we are to meet these new
problems must, in many cases, them
selves be new, but the purpose lying
behind the use of these methods OF
those instruments must if we are to
succeed. be now, as in the past, simply
in accord with the immutable laws OF
order. OF justice and right We may
need. and in my belief will need new
legislation, conceived in no radical OF
revolutionary spirit but in a spirit Of
common sense, common honesty and a
resolute desire to face facts as they
are (Applause.)
In closing, President Roosevelt paid
a feeling tribute to the army, and also
highly complimented Attorney General
Knox.
