trust:
The incorporation of the International

suit for the reason that the government

der this REORGANIZATION plan all the do

the parent company. The only domestic
business transferred is the business in
the sO-called new lines. engines. cream

Harvester Company of its business in this
country in these lines has been largely
due TO its monopoly of harvesting ma

Can Better Meet Dissolution.
Evidently the defendants do not claim
that the plan is an attempt to establish
a condition in harmony with the law as
interpreted by the Supreme Court in the

rather. it is an effort by them to bring
the properties into what they believe will
be better position to meet the decree of
dissolution when that comes.
Zone feature Of the plan is interesting.
According to 1t. the two companies are to
have the same stockholders. This means
that small group of defendants in the
governments case, who control 90 per
cent OF the stock in the International
Harvester Company. will control 60 per
cent of the new company. This identity
Of stock holdings in the two companies
