TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
"Expeoted Economies from combIna-
tIon" Do Not MaterIaIIxS.

(Louis D. Brandeis In Collier's.)
Leaders OF the new (Third Term)
party argue that Industrial monopo-
lies should be lesaliEed, lest we lose
the efficiency Of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there is no line Of business
In which all OF most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size Of greatest eff
cheney. For while a business may be
too small to be efficient. efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most fficient size is
can be learned definitely only by ex-
por1ence. The unit of greatest EN-
oiency is reached when the disadvan-
tages Of size counterbalance the ad-
Vantages. The unit Of greatest en-
cheney is exceeded when the disad-
vantages Of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history of American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:
