IN line with the idea that public
opinion is more or less agreed on Ger
tain principles, the president consid-
ers the prohibition of holding com
panies as vital part of the pro
gramme. He believes that, beginning
with the decision OF the United States
supreme court in the Northern Secur.
tiles case, holding companies have
come under the ban of public dsap.
proval.

utilities commission would be given
to the new interstate trade commits

trative advocates of this feature that
there are many cases in which a wide
sweeping prohibition of holding com.
