WILSON WANTS
BIG BUSINESS
PROVIDED 1T GROWS BIG IN CON-
TACT WITH KEEN CON-
PETITION.
FREE FROM MONOPOLY
ASKS DISSOLUTION OF PREJu-
bIcEs BETWEEN CAPITAL
AND LABOR.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago.-Big Business. its right to
growth and its duties to the country,
were discussed by President-elect
Woodrow Wilson In a speech before
the Commercial Club of Chicago.
II don't caro- how big business
grows, provided 1t grows big In con-
tact with keen competition" he said.
The governor made an appeal for
dissolution CT what he said were
prejudices in this country between
capital and labor.
Among Governor Wilson's auditors
were bank presidents. railroad presi-
dents and heads of great business en-
terprises.
Seated near him were Governor De-
neen. Republican. and Governor-elsct
Dunno. a Democrat.
He said that success of enterprise
depended upon the opening up to the
rank and flo OF the nation not only
its physical resources but the business
as well.
Men had testified, under oath, he
said. to the existence of an elmer cir
cls' to whom credit was obtainable. to
the exclusion of those against whom
that inner circle sought to discrimi-
nate.
II am not drawing an indictment
against the banking Gystem." he said.
"That has already been convicted. But
I do refer to the basis Of credit in
business.
II tell you frankly that II 1 per-
mitted my thoughts to dwell upon the
responsibility that will fall upon me 1
would be daunted. came here to ask
your counsel and assistance.
1.-The business future Of this country
does not depend upon the government
Of the United States; 1t is dependent
upon the business men. The govern
ment cannot breed temper; 1t can
not generate thought and purpose.
Things done under the whip of the law
are reluctant and never successful.
The hope of America Is the changing
attitude of the business men toward
the things they have to handle in this
country.
"And then In addition, and on top
of all this, we must zee to 1t that the
business of the United States is set
absolutely free of every feature Of
monopoly"
Touching on conservation. he said:
"a policy Of reservation is not one OF
conservation"
