Policy Toward Corporations Is
Live and Let Live"
SEES PERIL ONLY IN HYSTERIA
Executive in Vehement Talk Says He
Will Safeguard Prosperity and
Fulfill G. 0. ?. Pledges.

President Taft, speaking at the Lin
Republican Club, made defense in detail
of the policies of his administration.
He declared business ''hysteria," due to
agitation and fear of drastic action
against corporations in general, to be
unjustified, and throughout his talk
pleaded for the sinking of factional
differences toward the future OF the
Republican party and the carrying out
of its pledges.
IF the enforcement of the law is not
consistent with the present method of
carrying on business, then it does not
speak well for the present methods of
conducting business, and they must be
changed to conform to the law" de-
clared the President, and his audience
at the banquet tables in the Waldorf
Astoria cheered the utterance. Gov
ernor Hughes, who shared the honors
of the evening with the President, join
ed in the applause
Mr.. Taft adhered to his purpose of
discussing platform pledges and how
they should be kept. 1t was at the
conclusion of a detailed argument as
TO how the Republican party is re-
deeming its pledges that he came to
discussion of the antitrust law and
Wall street, on which his utterances
had been awaited with the greatest
interest The President declared that
the administration would not foolish
ly run amuck in business and destroy
values and condolences just for the
pleasure of doing So Its policy was

tive as strong as the administration in
power to cultivate and strengthen bust
ness confidence and prosperity.
"But there was no promise on the
part of the Republican party to change
the antitrust law except to strengthen
il. OF course the government at Wash
ington can be counted on to enforce
the law in the way best calculated to
prevent a destruction of public conf
dence in business, but it must enforce
the law
The President declared there were
signs which many construed to indi-
cate that the Republican majority in
Congress might be replaced by a Dem
ocratic majority. The cause ne assert
ed to he disSensions in the Renuhlican
party arising out of differences of opin-
ion in regard to the rules in the House
and to the personnel of the leadership
in the Senate.
He declared there existed a growing
tendency to the assertion of individual
opinion and purpose at the expense of
party discipline. The movement was
toward factionalism and small groups,
All this, Mr. Taft said, should be for
gotten in furtherance of the one great
aim--party success. To this end, he
asserted, campaign of education was
required.

can party is perfect" declared the
President, and then he gave a warning
