WAR TO THE DEATH ON
TRUSTS WILSON'S PLAN:
OUTLINES HIS POLICY

NEW YORK. Feb. IA scathing
arraignment OF big business" is con-
tanned in President elect Wilson's pre-
Inauguration book. The New Free
DOM which made its appearance for
the first time upon the newsstands here
today.
President elect Wilson not only re-
iterated his attacks upon the trusts of
the United States, but sounds a new
warning to the great financial inter-
ests of the country. The work is con-
sidered one of the most remarkable ever
put in the field both by reason of the
bitterness of it's arraignment of the
present financial system and by reason
of its pre-inauguration exploitation of
future presidential policy, no other
chief executive Of the United States
since the Declaration of Independence
having duplicated the feat OF Mr. Will
son.
The president-elect not only attacks
the trusts and monopolies of the coun-
try, but makes it clear that he Will do
all in his pOwed legitimately to restore
trade competition and individual OPP
portunity and disentangle community
Capitalization which, he says, has be-
come dangerously co-ordained.
Arraisns Roosevelt.
Mr.. Wilson arraigns ex- President
Roosevelt and his program of benevo-
lent n1nnnnnIN-. CtrnnUl.r ar
advance policy of the initiative, refer
endum and recall. with the exception of
the recall of the judiciary, charges the
existence of a money trust, and ex-
pounds at length his political philos-
ophy.
The president elect explains that he
is not the actual author OF the book, but
that ii is a collection OF the more sug-
gestive portions OF his campaign
speeches put together by William Bay
ard Hale with such Interpolation as
would render the work an actual ex-
position OF Mr. Wilson's views The
book is signed by Mr. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson in his preface SAYS:
This book is an attempt to eN-
press the new spirit Of our policies and
10 set forth in large terms, which may
stick in the imagination. what it is
! that must b. done If we are to restore
our politics to their spiritual vigor aud

Gable Open to
The White House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Ambassa-
dor Wilson today informed the state
department that fighting was continu-
ing in Mexico City, but that it was i'm
possible to obtain any details or to
learn which side was gaining without
sending men outside the confines of the
embassy. This has been found to be
dangerous.
President Madero, replying to the
state departments demand that COM
munication between the American en-
bassy at Mexico City and the white
house be kept open today, promised
that Ambassador Wilson's messages
would be hurried northward with the
least possible delay and would not be
subject to censorship by the Mexican
government. At the same time Madero
officially informed this government that
a strict censorship would be exercised
over all press dispatches and that
northing which might initiate against
the good of Mexico or her government"
would be permitted to go out of Mexico
City
Censor News Here.
This will make the state department
the logical source of news from the
revolution torn capital of Mexico and
government officials today said that.
While no important news will be held
up at the state department, it will be
the policy of the administration to CO.
operate with the Mexican government
in not allowing TO be published any in
formation which might be of material
benefit to the enemies of Maderos gov
eminent.
Information concerning Americans
the conditions Of the American or for
eign embassy. the progress Of the fight
ing in the residential section, and in
brief, such news as may be held to
concern only foreigners, will be given to
the press, but movements of the gov
eminent troops and dispatches relating
solely to the semi secret plans of Ma
dero's men will be held in confidence by
this government

And know how to fight It. l am
perfectly willing that they (the

The Roosevelt Progressive party next

Take the thing as a whole, and
it looks strangely like economic
mastery over the very lives and
fortunes Of those who do the daily
work of the nation: and all this un-
der the overwhelming power and
sovereignty Of the national govern
ment
The man who is leading the new
party has not changed his point of
view since he was president of the
United States it is sur
prising that such a man was not
again chosen president of the Unit
ed States and allowed to patent
the present processes of industry
and personally direct them how 10

Money Trust Kills Freedom.
With regard to the money trust. Mr.
Wilson writes:
our system Of credit is privately
concentrated. The growth of the
nation. therefore and all our ac-
tiVities are in the hands OF "a few
men, who, even if their actions be
honest, necessarily check and chill
and destroy genuine economic free
dom. The great monopoly OF this
country is a monopoly of credit.
So long as that exists, our old va
riety and freedom and individual
energy of development are out OF
the question.
Mr.. Wilson also alleges that mo
nopoly has made invention unwelcom,
and almost impossible. and warns tn,
Republican party that it is being de
luded into playing false with the en-
listed.
