As Usual. he is taking he is
right a thousand times

Law enacted. The antitrust legisia-

Not only from an administration
standpoint is the presidents course
justified but he is right also in the
view that the welfare Of the country
calls for finishing this legislation
now. The business world expects this
legislation to be passed and is count
ing upon II. Early action will be well
coined because it will clear the stu
alton and end uncertainty. To put off
the anti trust legislation until fall or
winter would only prolong the sus-
pense and accomplish no possible
good.
That a well organized but silly

There Is no danger that antitrust
