URGES FEDERAL CONTROL
Commissioner of Corporations Smith
Submits Annual Report.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Public opinion
has been prompt and efficient In the
correction of commercial evils when
those evils are stated specifically.
This is one of the conclusions reached
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations, and expressed in the
annual report of the operations of the
bureau of corporations just made pub
lie. Naturally under present condi-
tions the real power of public opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated"
Thus" says Commissioner Smith,
"the experience of the bureau seems
to point logically to the need for an
extension of such results by the crea-
tion of a general administrative sys-
tenn of supervision of interstate cor
porations, which shall give, in sub
stantially the same form as is fur
nished now for a few corporations, the
essential facts relating to all the great
interstate corporations. Whether the
system takes the form of a federal
license plan or a simple requirement
make reports and submit their books
to a federal bureau Is of little conse-
quence SO long as the information nee
essary for publicity is obtained. The
thing that is important is to arrive at
a system which will accomplish the re-
suit; which will enable the govern
ment to deal with such corporations
in the main by administrative super
vision rather than by judicial proce-
dure; whose methods will be pre-
ventive rather than penal; and, most
important of all, system which will
afford a permanent practical ground
for contract and cooperation between
the government officials charged with
this work on the one hand and cor
porate managers on the other"
