connection with what the su-
preme court said of this trust.
Wrongdoing such as was per-
petrated by the Standard Oil
trust, and especially by the to-
bacco trust, should not only be
punished, but if possible punish
ed in the persons of the chief
authors and benefciaries of the
wrong far more severely than at
present.
The fact that a combination is
very big is ample reason for e1-
ercising a close and jealous SUI
pervision over it, because its size
renders it potent for mischief.
But it should not be punished
unless it actually does the mis-
chief. 1t should merely be SO
supervised and controlled as to
guarantee us, the people, against
its doing mischief.
The antitrust law is not ade-
quate to meet the situation that
has grown up because of modern
business conditions and the ac-
companying tremendous increase
in the business use of vast guam
titles of corporate wealth.
To attempt to meet the whole
problem not by administrative
governmental action, but by a
succession of lawsuits, is hopeless.
