the whole situation has been had be-
tween the representatives OF the gov

desire on both sides to avoid litigation,
Some plan may yet be found which will
obviate the necessity Of any protracted
litigation by satisfying the claims made
under the Sherman act without SER
iously impairing the economic advant-
ages and benefits secured by the or
ganizers of this company. No form of
reorganization, however, was suggested
by the government that seemed practi :
cally possible.
"The government has been careful
to avoid embarrassment to the foreign
business from the Ntigation: the bill

in no way interfere with the company's s
carrying on its business the same as
