WASHINGTON, July 3.-The great
est business boom in the history of
the United States, with the enactment
of the administrations antitrust leg
islation, was the prediction made by
President Wilson Thursday, TN an ad-
dress to a group Of Virginia editors.
This was the presidents reply to the
critics of trust legislation at this ses-
sion of congress and to the prophets
of evil times.
There was every indication the
president meant his assurances for the
entire country and that the speech
was intended to be one Of the most
important of the administration.
Business Conditions Sound-NIcAdoo.
Secretary of the Treasury ,McAdoo
gave out a statement declaring that
business conditions are sound and
that the country is generally prosper
ous.''
The presidents speech follows:
II think it is appropriate in receiv-
ing you to say just a word or two in
assistance Of your judgement about
the existing conditions. You are
largely responsible for the state Of
public opinion. You furnish the pub
lie with Information, and in your edt-
torials you furnish it with the inter-
probation of that information. We are
In the presence Of a business situation
which is variously interpreted. Here
in Washington, through the bureau of
commerce and other instrumentalities
that are at our disposal and through
a correspondence which comes to us
from all parts of the nation, we are
perhaps in a position to judge of the
actual condition of business better
than those can judge who are at any
other, single point in the country; and
I want to say to you that as a matter
of fact the signs of very strong
business revival are becoming more
and more evident from day to day..
Fever Lasts Long Time.
IT want to- suggest this to you:
Business has been in a feyerish and
aprehensiVe condition In this country
stop to point out the time at which 1t
began to, be apprehensive, but, during
more than ten years business has been
the object Of sharp criticism growing
in volume and growing in particular
ity; and as a natural consequence, as
the volume Of criticism has increased
business has grown more and more
anxious.
Business men have acted as some
men do who fear they will have to
undergo an operation, and who are
not sure that when they get on the
table the operation will not be cap
ital operation. AS matter of fact
as the, dianosis has progressed it has
become more and more evident that
no capital operation was necessary;
