NO CAUSE FOR UNEASINESS.
Scheme to End Combine, Evil Which President Is to Embody In Fortheom. ing Message Will Not Alarm the Great Majority of MonopoIies Affected.

Washington. Nov. 12.-There is in- creasing evidence that national incor- poration and federal control of corpo- rations engaged in interstate business, such as President Roosevelt will urge upon congress in his message next month, will not be of such a nature as to cause uneasiness to the great major ity of corporations affected.
 This does not mean that there has been any change in the intention of the president as to his recommenda- tions, but it does mean that there is a better understanding among the inter- ests affected as to what those inten- tions are. There has been much misun- derstanding of the presidents attitude and some misinterpretation of things he has said which have tended to ere ate an anxiety for the future which fuller understanding of his real pur- pose has served to allay somewhat.
 Presidents Remark Miseonstrued.
 An illustration of this misinterpreta- ton of the president was furnished by the publication of a report to the effect that he intended to ask congress for such a federal incorporation law as would give him authority to revoke the license of any corporation doing busi- ness in a manner unsatisfactory to him. thus putting 1t out of business at an instsnt's notice.
 There is no other foundation for this report than a misinterpretation of a remark he made to some of his callers the other day when he talked about the print paper trust The president said something to the effect that under a scheme of federal incorporation the present trouble could not exist. and this seems to have been taken to mean that with such 8 law now he would simply revoke the licpnSe 0f the paper trust and stop it from doing business.
 What He Really Meant.
 But it is pointed out that what really was meant is that if there had been a federal incorporation law the trust 1oBld never have assumed the prop0r- lions 10 which it has attained. and the trouhle would have been prevented in- stead of now having to be cured
