C
cousins.
If Wilson is charged with the treasonable traits of indecision
and timidity, let his detractors find evidence of either in his fifth
message to Congress. There is scant soil to nurse a calumny of
the kind. The President’s views upon the trust question, and
his proposal—rather, insistence—of remedial measures, show no
disposition to conciliate the powers that have hitherto made
presidents and unmade them. Frankly, he gives no thought to
the personal consequences of acts and statements which he
conceives to be founded upon justice and public equity.
Briefly told, the presidental message attacked the interlock­
ing directorate system which constitutes the monied menance of
the nation. By wide and extensive investments in numerous
corporations and industries, it was maintained that a group of
millionaires held a virtual monopoly in all lines of trade.
Declaring that these now omnipotent stockholders should be
compelled to select a single corporation directorate in which to
beam effulgently, the message jolted the trust system to its
flaccid toes.
Guilt, in suits against corporations, should be made a personal
issue, the message maintained. The folly of punishing a corpor­
ation through its treasury, while its officials, in whom the
misdeeds of the concern are conceived and ordered inio malici­
ous activity, go free to scheme more cleverly against law and
labor, has long been apparent. The fifth message suggests a
remedy that will not be popular in certain circles, where the
game of beating the government has held equal favor with the
pastime of baiting the boobs.
Not that the message is intemperate—it is as dispassionate a
display of facts as might be mustered. The evils are pointed
out, the remedies suggested, and Big Business invited to come
in and work out its own salvation. It may self correct its faults
or be corrected; and the pedagog has demonstrated that he can
use the birch as well as expound trite truths to the bad boys of
the class in commercial economics.
