COL. ROOSEVELT

ABOUT MOTIVE
Did Not Care Why Steel Co.
Purchased Tennessee
Concern.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Ex-President
Roosevelt has an article on 1.-THE Steel
Corporation and the Panic of 1907 in
the outlook, appearing today. Mr.
Roosevelt discusses his recent appear
ance before the congressional commit
tee investigating the Steel Corporation,
repeating the written statement he
then presented and dealing with some
of the lines of inquiry and his re-
sponses. He says:
"On Saturday, August >, | appeared
before the investigating committee.
had nothing new to which to testify.
There was not a fact of the slightest
Importance or of the slightest bearing
upon my action which was not already
known.
Several questions were asked by dill
ferent members of the committee. Most
of these questions dealt with matters
not of sufficient moment to warrant
allusion to them here. 1t was not my
business, and neither WAS it in my
power to search the hidden domain of
motive. My action was conditioned,
not upon what ] believed to be the mo-
tives %actuatlng the steel corporation,
but upon my belief that the action
which they proposed taking would be
enormously to the benefit of the COM
munity at large at that particular mo-
ment.
"The predominant motive was of no
consequence. My concern was that the
action should be taken. and the situa-
ton saved in the interests of the peo-
pie of the United States.
"One of the questions put to me in
dictated disbelief, or, to be more accu-
rate, perhaps | should say that it was
meant to be understood as indicating
disbelief, that the action taken was
really efficient in stopping the panic.
Tine question is not 10 be treated Sc
%riously, for it cannot be so treated. The
action taken was in my judgment the
only action that could stop the panic,
and it most certainly was of enormous,
and in all human probability of de-
cisive, influence in actually stopping it.
1.-The purchase as made did not by
itself, one way or the other, affect the
status of the steel corporation so far
as the Sherman law was concerned,
and this statement is not affected by
consideration of what may not be a to-
tally different state of affairs four
years later. 1t dealt with facts as they
were, not with facts as they might or
might not afterwards become"
