Mergers Everywhere
OENTRALIZED control of an,

CENTRALIZED control of any
~ great industry would be bad
enough, but it is not the worst fea-
ture of the drama now unfolding In
these United States.
Through interlocking directorates,
stock holdings. holding companies
and other methods, the entire sys-
tenn is being unified.
Merged banks, merged power
companies, merged railroads and
everything else that has been, or
can be merged are becoming de-
pendent on one another, not in the
ordinary sense, but in the sense OF
defined authority.
Every one knows how the country
banker, country merchant, country
horse trader and country lawyer
used to operate on small-town
basis.
We are seeing precisely the same
hook-up enlarged to a national
basis, and in the end we are going
to see the same result magnif1ed a
thousandfold.
You still can go into most any
small town and find big house in
some advantageous location. In
that big house dwells a man who,
working through the cooperation
of banker, merchant, lawyer and
so on, has made himself virtual
master of local affairs.
While it may be too much to sup
pose that any one man SO thor
oughly could dominate the whole
country, it is not improbable that
a comparatively small group will be
able to do so, unless something is
done to stop the present drift.

Called Super-Trust

CENATOR DILL does not go too
- far when he describes the
mergers and consultations now be-
ing formed as "super-trusts," or
when he characterizes the fight in
congress over disposition of Muscle
Shoals as a fight Ito keep the gov
eminent from demonstrating how
cheaply power can be supplied to
the people"
The Shearer incident, which de-
veloped last week, the presence OF
Harry F. Sinclair in Jail for con-
tempt of,court and contempt of the
senate, as we'll as several other cpl
sodes that have occurred recently,
should warn us of what may be ex-
pected if the lust for power Is not
restrained.
Senator Dill says that the fact
that business is being organized into
big units docs not necessarily mean
that it is bad"
Such a doctrine Is hardly safe
without qualification.
There is danger in bigness per Sc
the danger of human nature be-
ing tempted to abuse great power
and the danger of human inability
to understand, or appreciate the size
of a thing when it goes beyond GER
tain proportions.
Business can become too big. not
only for its own good, but for the
gooe of everybody concerned. just as
anything can become too big.

PSYCHOLOGY began its life as
L branch IF philosophy and the
original methods of psychological
study were interpretive.
That is. the psychologist sat down
in a corner of his study and sought
to examine his own mind. For ex-
ample, William James, one Of the
great psychological pioneers, at
tempted to decide by this method
what was the most fundamental
feeling of consciousness and came to
the conclusion that it was a feeling
located in the back of the head and
neck.
The only conclusion that many
modern psychologists will draw from
James experiment is that he had a
habit of tensing the muscles of his
neck when he thought real hard.
The method of introspection led
to the development of system of
psychology which was not scientific
IN many respects.
AS result, it has been necessary
to revise it. These reviSions have
grown out OF the development of the
psychology laboratory and the sci
entific experiments patterned after
those which began with the work of
Wundt and his students.
Human thought always seems to-
resemble a pendulum. If at one
time, it is far to one side, it seems
certain that eventually it will fly to
the other.
And so, today, one school of psy-
chology would throw out introspec-
ton entirely.

THE holding of the ninth Inter

THE holding of the ninth Inter
L national Congress of Psychology
at Yale university serves to call to
mind how young science psychol-
ogy is.
DR.. J. McKeen Cattell is president
of the congress. DR.. Cattell, ia
nous American scientist. received
his training with Professor Wundt
at the University of Leipzig. And
"Pater Wundt," as his students
called him, is frequently credited
with having founded modern
psychology
Calico laid the foundation of
scientific astronomy when he turned
his little telescope us-on tbs heavens
"a 1910. A few years later, ne laid
the. foundations of modern physics
when he formulated his laws Of mo-
ton.
But the beginnings Of a scientific
viewpoint upon the human mind is
considerably less than a century old.
It lies within the memory Of such
men as DR.. Cattell and many OF the
older delegates to the psychology
congress.
There is no reason for surprise,
therefore, that much of the congress
was devoted to highly conflicting
opinions upon fundamental ques-
| tons.
Psychology still is too young to
have it's fundamentals settled. In
fact one of the biggest arguments
RACES around how those funda-
mentals should be arrived at.
