addressed the Dental Convention, which

The convention was called to inauGu-

faulty teeth in children mean the Inn

detriment to their morals. lie urged
the Importance Of the dentition OF
school children being strictly watched.
As the first move in tho campaign
which has been started. several perma-
nent clinics were established to-day In
Cleveland for the treatment Of school
children. Any child. whose parents
cannot afford to pay the regulation
fee. will be treated free on an Endorses

.NAGEL OUTLINES
FEDERAL RIGHTS
Secretary Declares Nation Can
Control Corpora
tons.

Boston, Mass, March ls.-secretary Of
Commerce and Labor Charles Nagcl. In q
speech here last night before tho Com
ncrcial Club, outlined his views on the con-
fllct between Federal and state authoritysin
controlling Interstate corporations.
II know it Is contended." said he. THAT
tho Federal Congress has no right under
tho interstate clause OF tho Constitution to
authorize the organization OF commercial
corporations For my part do not share
that doubt. It is insisted that the national
authority is one Of enumerated powers and
that the right TO authorize these business
organisations cannot be Inferred.
~ do not believe that national gov
ernmant conceded to have the right 70 au-
thorize tho organization OF national banks,
based upon an implied power, can be denied
the right to organize business corporations
implied from an express power. y believa
that the right to control The commercial
agencies to engage In Interstate commerce
is just as clear the right TO determine
what kind of articles shall be made the
subject OF that commerce-
In Case of ForeIGn Trade.
"W1th respect 10 roreign trade national
authority is even more clear. In It's rela-
t!on to Foreign affairs the United States
government is not restricted to delegated
power, which the States at no time We're
in a. position TO confer, but the United
States has all the powers which OF neccs-
sity beIon. TO a government In It's rcla-s
tons to foreign countries. II seems to me
that in this comparatively new domain OF
national activity the Uuitcd States gov
orn,nent has tho undoubtcd right to pro-
mote the cause OF foreign trade by any
agency 10 which 1t may decide TO look. anu
the power to authorize the orSanization OF
commercial corporations for that purpose
cannot be questioned upon any ground.
..That right once conceded, the proo!em
Will be solved by practical conditions, as
like problems 30 frequently have been set
tod The local bank derives its authority
from the United States government but no
ono denies its right to engage IN local ous-
