MAKING WAR ON
PRIVATE MONOPOLY
William j. Bryan Explained and De-
Tended Policies of President
Wilson

New York, Jan. 2S.-Secretary OF
State Bryan, in an address before
the American Asiatic Society last
night, declared that President Will
sons policy toward business and his
proposed legislation affecting trusts
promise a lower cost of living at
home and increased international
trade
Secretary Bryan discussed the ad-
ministration's attitude toward for
eign commerce as reflected by the
tariff and currency reform measures
and its policy toward private mo-
nopoly AMI the Chinese loan ques-
ton. Alluding to the governments
proposed regulation OF trusts and tne
probable effect, Mr.. Bryan said:
War on Private Monopoly
The President has outlined a re-
form whose influence cannot be
bounded by national lines. He has
declared war on private monopoly,
and this means the investment of
capital that has hitherto been fright
ened away from industrial fields. If
the new policy results in a reduction
in the size of corporations that have
become overgrown, it will mean a
larger number of independent and
competing enterprises and this COM
petition will mean a better article at
a lower price.
''It is worth while to enquire
whether monopolization has not
necessarily resulted in the restric-
tion of exports.
I'm proportion as industries rest
upon their own merits rather than
upon legislative favor, just in that
proportion will they be strengthened
for successful contest with competi-
tive industries thruout the world"
The authorization of international
banks under the currency law will
stimulate foreign trade in the Orient
and thruout South America, Secre-
tary Bryan said, and the new tariff
means a larger international COM
merce of which the Orient will have
her share
The secretary's discussion of the
Chinese loan was made subsequent
to a speech by Willard Straight
president of the society, who said
that many merchants interpreted the
Presidents policy to mean that the
American government would extend
to bankers the supporters which
those familiar with trade conditions
in China found necessary.
As to Chinese Loan
II reply Secretary Bryan said:
The new administration, in with
drawing approval of the Chinese loar
did not question the good faith ol
good intent of those who had seer
in it a means of increasing our pow
er or influence in; China. The Pres
iCient believed that a different policy
was more consistent with the Ameri
can position and that it would in tht
long run be more advantageous tt
our commerce. 1t would not be fa;l
to attribute q falling of in trade, t
which reference had been made, Il

Very Little New In
Atlanta's Offering.

The Z estimable authors of Little
Lost Sister" which opened at the At
lanta Monday night, are due a great
bit Of instruction in the difference be-
tween a screed and creed.
Also they might be taught that
drinking wine on the stage no longer
is the sign of uttermost depravity;
also that many months ago the oper-
atoms of our old acquaintance, the
white slavers--in whose name many
crimes have been committed-ceased
to furnish stage thrills; and, lastly,
that II has been a couple of genera
tions or more since the "unhand me-
villain" type of drama, defying polish
and technique, ceased to interest the
discriminating public.
There is little in athe work Of the
cast, which apparently is as immature
as the mental effort which produced
the play, to commend it. Little Lost
Sister" will be presented Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and Tuesday and
Wednesday matinees

speech, telling everybody that the

very decent dance. Tuesday and

demonstrate the new dances.
After the very capable headliner the
audience at Mondays matinee seemed
