WOULD
SAWS Gee. w. PERKINS

New York. Feb. 11.-That managers
Of the giant corporations would vel
come supervision by the federal gov
ermnent, was the opinion expressed
by Geo. w. Perkins, Of the firm OF J.
p. Morgan e. Co., In IN address be-
fore the students OF Columbia univer-
sity. Mr.. Perkins defended the big cor
porations IS a natural outgrowth OF
business conditions and declared that
It has accomplished great good and Is
capable in its further developments Of
accomplishing much more.
There is scarcely a corporation
manager Of today" he said, who
would no welcome supervision. could
he but feel thai it would come from
the national government, acting
through an intelligent and fair minded
official, but to be faced with the re-
Qutrements to report to and to be sup
ervtsed and regulated by 40 or 80 gov
%ernnnents with varying ideas and laws,
of course suggests difficulties that are
almost insurmonntabe. National su-
DerTis:on. under a law requiring that
those who supervise should be prac-
teal men thoroughly yersed In their
calling would solve most OF our diff
Oulties.
ut Is almost heresy to say that
competition is no longer the life OF
trade, yet these nave come to be fact
as applied to the old u~nreasoning and
unreasonable competition by the con-
ditions of our day.
The spirit OF cooperation Is upon
us. It u Of necessity be the neu
great form Of business development,
and progress"
