THE MONEY TRI ST.

When Woodrow Wilson warned the nation
of the Danger of the money trust it was
branded radcalism and the Northern papers,
many Of them, depored the fact that he had
become Organised and practieing the
tricks OF the demagogue. Now it transpires
that Mr. Samuel untermeyer. one of the most
famous Of the New York corporation lawyers
corroborato and endorses all that Mr. Wilson
has said.
In AN interview published in the New

Woodrow Wilson. OF New Jersey did not mis-

much in allowing men to do they please
within certain limits with their money,
AS in fixing the extent to which they may use
/ other neople's money for their own aggrandize-
inent. and in regulating the power they thus
usurp over the lives and fortunes of others "
He proceeds to say that at is recognized

able which involves raising as much as say

tnnity of making q sane and accurate ana
lvss Of the situation. He has been on the
inside long enough to accumulate his mi
lions himself, and his intimate knowledge Of
financial conditions enables him TO speak with
authority
This same knowledge Of the situation gives
value 10 his suggestions concerning the. rene
DIV lie thinks rect lies IN taking from its
present control the vast funds of the life In
surance companies and national bank deposits,
This would compel the great interests to
operate with their own money and that of
their associates A very large proportion OF
the deposI,s should be kept available for ord-
nary and legitimate commercial purposes.
Snch restrictions would prohibit and prevent
national banks from underwriting or beeom-

though he were not affiliated with or connected

troll the investment Of the funds of the in

If these allegations OF Messrs Wilson and
UntermeYer be true, it means that funds
amounting to many millions Of dollars in the
hanks insurance companies and belonging to
the public are so managed as to favor the
friends and schemes of few master
fuancers and to the positive exclusion and dis
advantage of those whose enterprises
threaten competition
II these allegations be true they present a
serious situation and that needs immediate
correction.
