WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-The ad-
lninistration's antitrust policy is di-
rected only at such business methods
as are directly In the nature and spirit
OF monopoly. The president made this
plain to callers today. He held un-

None of the trust bills, the president
explained to his callers. contains any
thing which would bar froa business
anything that Is not Of itself h.nno2o-
listic. And SO far as the interstate
trade commission is concerned, he In
dicated that body will not be "the
dragon" certain business interest fear.
Its findings, the president explained,
are not binding upon any one. 1t un,

tion Of the department Of justice and

will be necessary In view of the state
of opinion He did not believe he ex-
planned that this commission would
be as secretive as had been the in
ternal revenue bureau of the treasury
department in connection with it's in
the corporation tax But there was
one thing that the president consid.
cred certain he explained, and that
was that business rivals would not be
permitted to CLEAN trade secrets as a
result of Investigations under the new
law
So far as Colonel Geo. w. Goethals
is concerned, the president made 1t
plain today that at no time has any
cne other than the canal builder him
self been considered for governor OF
the zone under the Adamson act
Goethals has already been assured OF
i this fact by the secretary, although
the president cannot do SO until he
actually issues the order creating the
civil government.
This order Is nearly ready for the
executives signature and as exclus-
lively stated by the United Press
month ago. it contains the name OF
Goethals as governor with full power
| to select his own assistants UP to the
humber of $500 to start operation OF
| the big water way.
The president refused to discuss in
advance whether the fact that Goeth-
ais may want to retire In year or
eight months might cause him to
change his mind, saying that he had
no reason to believe that Goethals in
tended to ask for relief until after the
canal was in full and complete opera
