Peruvian Consul General was a brtbe.
He repeated the evidence contained IN
his report as to the terrible treatment
OF the natives for which he said The

The Effect OF Dissolution.

Since the tobacco trust had been dis

tered the business and the field OF COM
petition had been enlarged. With watch
fulness on the part OF the governments
law department 1t would be found that in
the course OF very few years the disso-
luton was an absolute one. he declared.
The time to determine in a non partisan
, way Just what the people wanted In re-
gard to the Sherman law was now, Mr..
Wickersham said. before a new admins
tration entered upon Its tasks. His i'm
preston was, he added. that the people
were In favor OF free play for competition
and against combinations.
The best remedy for the trust problem
was federal Incorporation, the Attorney
General said, but the passage of SUCH
an act could not be expected from
Democratic administration, when the
party platform was pledged to different
action. The next best thing would be. he
declared, II the bill introduced at the
last session by Senator John Sharp Will

Wickersham Points to Success

Remedy for Trust Problem,
Attorney General Says.

Attorney General Wickersham declared
last night before the Finance Forum VI

Idant Tai, had accomplished real results
through its policy OF enforcing the S"ei
man law, and that the consequences Vi
the dissolution suits brought TO success

wholly TO this administration. MI MlCh-
Graham said. 1t began with the northern
Securities case. but since 1893 II gaineu
sucb an impetus that the greatest results
were achieved later.
."rbe first tangible result OF the DISCO
rr,Ior suits is found In the fact that no
now combinations or trusts have been
formed since March 1, 1909. Not single
combination has been formed In the last
four years, and II has become OBVIOUS
that the field Is open to new enterprise
even in the fields where big corporations
exist.
when all the suits brought under this
administration will be carried TO a maj
decree by the courts there will be no cor
porate organization left so large that II
will be a menace to the public welfare
There is no doubt that corporation
doing business throughout the country,
with resources OF a billion dollars is
public menace"
Had to Get Larger Auditorium o..
Mr.. Wickersham spoke before large
audience in the Church OF the Stranger,
in West 57th street, as the auditorium OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
proved inadequate TO accommodate so
many people. He described the various
suits brought by tho federal government
under the sherman law, and outlined
briefly the obvious results achieved
through DEGREES OF dissolution or inJunc-
tions against practices I'm violation OF the
law.
The unfair methods Of competition re-
sorted TO In the past have been checked
and I'm large measure destroyed ne
said.
The purpose OF the Sherman law he
continued. was, to a large extent, TO pre-
vent a condition where men unable 10
secure profits might be carried at the eX-
pense OF the public. II man embarked
in a given business and found that there
were no profits IN It because the produc-
ton was too large, he tried TO combine
with others In the same plight to mark
I'D prices and to be carried by the public.
II was simply question of the greatest
good to the greatest number. Mr.. Wicker
sham said.
There was much criticism OF the dis
solution Of the Tobacco and Standard OIL
trusts, the Attorney General said. based
upon the fact that tho selling value OF
the stock OF the constituent companies
had increased. But it was the decree OF
the Supreme Court itself. he added. that
had ordered a dissolution plan that would
not harm public interest or private prop
erty.
