eXPresident Roosevelt had done m
Illegal thing" in permitting the pur-
chase of the Tennessee Coal and IRON
company by the Steel Trust.
The governor drew from this the
inference that Roosevelt thought that
the trusts Were inevitable
And / am sorry that any man wh0z
has had experience In that great Of
fee he said, should have come out
of IL with that conviction"
The governor got off pleasantrfes 49,

called attention to the fact thai

advantage. because your chairman
has already identified me as a ra-
tionar conclusion regard that an 4
strategic advantage. And I believe
that from every point of view you will
realize that the more you examine the
position that there is something
nationally inevitable in the Demo-
