THE PRESIDENT AND THE
SHERMAN ACT.

Mr.. George w. Perkins Supports The
View That Legal Obstacles should
d Uearel Away and Basis
EstabllsheA for FrseAon Of Trade
without Uhrssulatel License.
To rns EDITOR or THs suN-sr: I
have read with deep interest and much
satisfaction your editorial article In this
mornings sUN on President Wilson's
meesage and the Sherman act.
In hs message to Congress yesterday
President Wilson spoke OF the necessity
Of building up BUR export trade. He
said there was no time to lose I; that we
should ''clear away all legal obstacles
and create % basis Of undoubted law
which will give freedom without permit
ting unreGuiated license"
A splendid statement; nothing could
sound better or be more directly to the
point. But how does this stetement
square itself with the statements made
by the President during the past year
to the effect that all was now we'll with
business because his Administration had
given US the Clayton act and tho Fed
erai Trade Commission? II the Federal
Trade Commission and the Clayton act
have been curealls. why is the President
now saying that We have got to clear
away all LEGAL obstacles'? The Presl-
dents statement yesterday Ia a clear
admission that the Federal Trade Com
mission act and the Clayton bill have
failed to ''cisar away all legal obstacles"
This Of course 10 the exact situation.
All the clayton bills shat can DO en-
acted. all the Federal Trade Commits
sions that can be established. all tho
finely worded messages that can be ad-
dressed to Congress will avail US nothing
so long rs the Sherman Law remains on
bur statute books in It's present form
and Is used by our Government as it's
chief weapon to destroy large business
examinations II IL impossible for US
to have large Industrial units with which
to compete for the business Of the world
SO long as the Sherman Law remains on
the books In It's present form.
For years our business men have
becn prosecuted under the claim that
they were trying to cvade Il. and now
the Government itself. through the Clay
ton bill and the Federal Trade Commits
sion. Is actually trying to evade 1t. A
fine state OF things! We are acting rs
though the Sherman law were the
Eleventh Commandment. II is high
time we stopped all this n~onsenslcal pro-
cedure inc faced the trouble where II
really lies.
The SAINT thins for US to do. and do
with all possible s~derpstch. is 80 to legis-
late that we can have Federal incorpora-
tion Of u large interstate and interna-
tional Industrial units, with proper super
vision by the federal Government and
with proper publicity. This should be
provided In such n way as TO preserve
the economic o that unquestionably
exists through the employment Of large
business machines. and eliminate the
evils Of which the public have Justly
complained.
The sherman law has been the politi-
c!an's greatest asset. the business mans
greatest liability. and the pubiic's broker

Mr.. BOLDT changed all this. Women
