RESPITE for tho Trusts

THE Acknowledgement Of the United States,
1 appearing before the Supreme Court, has
granted new lease of life to the domestic
combinations now being prosecuted for viola
ton OF the Sherman antitrust law. Mr..
Gregory has asked the court TO defer con-
sideration Of the trust cases until next
autumn. at which time he will again ask that
conclusion OF the war.
The government however. does not wish
it understood that it has abandoned its prose-
cution of monopolies or that IL issues a clean
bill of health aud conduct to those greater
enterprises which have been summoned to
the bar of the court. 1t merely withdra VS.
its opposition TO their present mode of bust
ness until a more appropriate time for a
judicial determination OF their practices.
There can DO serious debate to the
wisdom OF this course. These trusts may be
technical violators of the law, and as such
they might be dissolved But with the nation
strainng every energy and mastering every
resource for the successful prosecution of
the war, the present would be an inopportune
time to disorganize dozen more of the
greatest industrial enterprises in the country
There is no evidence that any one of these
corporations is Stacking in its duty to the
nation. On the contrary, all of them seem
to be contributing the best they can produce
Tor the common good, and all OF them are
needed in this emergency. The efficiency
which they have achieved through enlarged
ganization and through the centralized con-
troll and operation OF great properties is
distinct national asset at such time as this
Besides, it is even now apparent that a
somewhat different view will be taken of
economic problems after this war is over.
For instance, railroad unifcaton doubtless
