ROOT DEPLORES
TRUST BUSTING
Says II Reduces Industrial
Efficiency.
AIDS TRADE EXTENSION

New York Senator, in Speech at Pam
American Congress, Urges Organiza-
tion and Combination of Business
Men for the Promotion of Foreign
Commerce-Points to Germany as
Proof of Argument.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-With a plea
for organization and combination on
the part of American business men
for the promotion of trade with Latin
America, Senator Elihu Root of New
York lauded the principle of organiza-
tion in business in an address at the
closing session of the Pan-American
commercial conference. He deplored
that the operations of the law against
the great industrial organizations
reduced the industrial efficiency of
the country"
"It is important to break up organ
izations," said Mr.. Root, when they
sistence, but there is one way to
counteract this influence, and that is
by substituting organizations on a
sound basis, not violating any law, but
securing the concerted action of great
numbers of Americans who have a
common purpose.
"The great principle of organization
which is revolutionizing the business
of the world applies in the subject of
the extension of trade.
Germany to a considerable extent
requires a combination of her manu-
facturers, producers and commercial
concerns; Japan also practically does
this. But in the United States it can
not be done under government lead
ership. because the people do not con-
ceive 1t to be the governments func-
ton. 1t seems to be rather that the
government is largely taken up with
breaking up organizations, and that
reduces the industrial efficiency of
the country"
