Washington, January 23.-That the
present concentration of financial re-
sources in New York is Sufficient to
care for the business and commerce of
the country was the statement of
Henry P. Dawson of J. p Morgan &
Co, on the stand before the House
money trust committee today. The
question of further concentration, Mr..
Dawson asserted, depended entirely
upon the development of the business
and commerce of the country. Mr.. Day.
ison went on record as favoring com
bihation and control of industries un-
der government regulation, as opposed
TO free, unrestricted competition"
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee and the witness engaged in a
spirited tilt on the question of the con-
duct of banking affairs in European
countries. Mr.. Untermyer insisted that
England, France and Germany prevent
control of banks through interlocking
directorates.
Talk about concentration, why we
haven't even started in this country,
as compared with the European ma :
tions,' was Mr.. Davison's reply to this
statement
Mr.. Dawson said he saw no objection
to law forcing the publicity of bank
assets, IF the public thought it de-
srable" but he was opposed to any
law that would force banks to make
public lists of their stockholders.
fDo YOU favor the principle of con-
trolling concerns through holding com
paniesY asked Mr.. Untermyer.
''Generally speaking" said Mr.. Davi-
son, Il have prejudice against hold
ing companies"
Most of the companies your firm
has organized have been holding com
panies, have they not?" asked Mr..
Untermyer.
Justifiable by Circumstances
Yes said Mr. Dawson, 'and In this
respect | want to qualify my opinion
On general principles | don't believe
in holding companies, but | think there
are circumstances which make a hold
ing company the best means of hand
ling a situation
do you believe three or four or half
dozen men should be allowed to mo-
nopolize any industry SO long as they
do not operate through a holding COM
pany?"
Il don't know how you could pre-
vent II, If they had the financial back
ing and the ability to do it, asserted
Mr.. Dawson. Il have no objection to
1T. If 1t was wrong 1t could not live,
/ see no necessity for a law to pre-
vent ii. 1t would fall of itself in the
making"
Are you opposed to trusts?' asked
MI Untermyer a few moments later
IT would not say that 1 was wholly
In favor of them in the making, but
was not opposed to them after they

has been planned, ii is stated that "the Chamber
cognizes that in order 10 adopt scheme for indus

that most Of the members Of the Chamber will think

munity expects practical results along those lines and
so do many men who belong to the organization.
Unquestionably the material results Of the first

future of the Chamber. That fact should be kept
constantly in mind by those who directing its ac-
tvities. The public has been led to expect so much
Of material and practical from the work Of
the Chamber in its first year that it would be a mis-
fortune we're that period Of its existence to pass with

COLLEGE SITE SHOULD BE ADEQUATE.

TT is highly important for the success Of the AfHi-
ated College for Women in Newark that the build
ings shall be surrounded by spacious grounds which,
being susceptible Of adornment with trees and shrub

charms Of the institution. It would be mistake to
put up an expensive building, which perhaps will be
only one of several small tract The land in
Newark is cheaper now than It will be and this

only for the present lat also for the futre.
Experience in other educational centres has demon
strated the prime Importance OF adequate college
grounds Properly developed, they make an instltu-

to keep the students under better without in

tracts Of land consideration They vary greatly

no doubt that the commission, in making a selection,

LO0kS SHORT.SIGHTEn.

From the Dover Index.
It is difficult for a down-state per-
son to judge of the right or wrong
of the controversy waged in Whining
ton about a franchise to competing
lighting concern. IL, however, looks
to us short-sighted to welcome a
prospective competitor until the COM
pany holding a monopoly reduces its
rates and then refuse the application
on the ground that consumers art
able rate. The fact that it required
a threat of competition to bring down
the rates does not speak well for the
good intentions of the-company hold
ing the monopoly.

LABOR SCARE
CONVICT LABOR NEEDED

From the Dover Index.
We. are not familiar with the law
providing for the use of convicts in
road building. but in the building oi
our roads the one thing lacking is
labor at reasonable cost. Laborers
who will work are not only scarce,
but high priced, and most of them
are already employed. In other
states conyicts are worked on the
roads to the advantage of the coun-
ties and of the convicts. Kent coun>
ty is about to begin Improvement OF
roads, and while the law provides fot
road building by contract, the county
engineer might use convicts for d
part of the work.

later in his legislative career he voted with the
Democrats II also showed that he attempted to sell
his vote to Gordon Woodbury.. Democratic candidate
for United States Senator; Franklin Worcester, Re-
publican candidate for Governor. and Elmer s. Til
ton, Republican candidate for Governors council. In
other words, that he political miscreant who
