perity Will Follow Anti
Trust Legislation.

ton of freedom from further annoyance.
the President went on to say that with
this constitution of freedom business
would get a long and deserved rest:

cuperation and readjustment, and that
the scene of relief and security that
would follow would be the most i'm
portant that business has known in ten
years.

centuate business.

prehension of business for the last ten

pect. reviewing the work of the admin
istration on the tariff and the federal re-
serve law, which the President said had
caused great apprehension in advance,
but had now been accepted as no longer
causing worry.
Need Of Prompt Action.

ministration has reached the trust
program. He said that on this pro-
gram the administration had been the
first to come forward with a definite
statement of its purpose. thereby let
aing business know what to expect
On this program the best business men
in the country stood with the admin
istration.
The President declared that further de-
lay or postponement Of this program OF
legislation would be destructive 10 bust
ness which would be kept continually
guessing. AS friend of business tn.

the slate of constructive legislation. and
that he would do so confident that the
outcome would be the greatest period OF
prosperity the country had ever known.

gram as lone of constructive correc-
tion."
