PANIC REAL 4 YEARS AGO Doubt That Action in Stel Case Saved Country Would Have Been Greeted With Derision Then, Colonel Declares. NEW TORK. Aug. 17. Ex-President Roosevelt says. In an article In the Outlook todar on "The Steel Corpora tion and the Panic of 1907." that he has nothing- to do with the hidden mo tives of the Steel Corporation. What concerned him then was the fact that the country was facing a panic and that he could act to save It. That the motives of the trust were not altruistic he then suspected and now believes, but his actions were open and he does not apologise for them. "Most individuals have short mem ories." he says, but he recalls that in 107 the wisdom of his course was noi questioned. Colonel Roosevelt begins by saying that no one need feel "either concern or hope" as to whether anything done by his' Administration will be ""discov ered." because all was done in the open. As to the trust's real purpose. It was not his business, or In his power to search the "hidden domain of motive." His only concern was that of "saving the plain people of the United States from dreadful misery and suffering." "And this." he adds, "was what my action did." He continues: "One of the questions put to me In dicated disbelief, or. to be more ac curate, perhaps I should say that it was meant to be understood as Indi cating disbelief, that the action taken was really efficient In stopping the panic At the time, and for some months after the panic had been stopped, no man would nave ventured . .... ,iii-h disbelief unless pre pared to be greeted with derision by every human being who knew anything whatever of the actual facts. The question Is not to be treated seriously, for it cannot be so treated. The ac tion taken was. In my judgment, the only action that could stop the panic and It most certainly was of enormous and In all human probability, of de cisive Influence in actually stopping "colonel Roosevelt concludes by say ing: "The purchase, as made, did not by Itself, one way or the other, affect the status of the Steel Corporation, so far as the Sherman law was concerned, and thta statement is not affected by con sideration of what may now be a total ly different state of affairs four years later. T. R. SCARED, SAYS BRYAX "Peerless One" Declares Trusts Forced Him to Sanction Merger. URBAN'A, 111.. Aug. 17. William 3. Bryan, speaking at a Chautauo.ua, de clared former President Roosevelt was "intimidated" by the steel trust in con senting to the Tennessee Coal & Iron merger. "Placing the most favorable construction on Roosevelt's own words before the Congressional investigating committee," Bryan said, "Isn t It a oitiful fact that such an organization as the steel trust can be so all-powerful in this country as to walk Into the office of the President of the United States and Intimidate him with the fear of a panic into allowing it to carry out Its own designs?"
