Excerpt from The American Review of Reviews, Vol. 55: January, 1917 President Wilson, in cautious circumlocutions, asks for the creation of instrumentahties for the prosecution of the essential enter prise of building up our export trade. Mr. Wilson was well aware that he was facing the anti-trust prejudices of a Democratic Congress. He means that we cannot push our foreign trade, which is now growing so fast, unless by joint efforts and those big business methods that here at home would run straight against the anti-trust laws. Mr. Wilson begins to deal much more reasonably with large business enterprises than did the Taft administration. He has discovered that sensible methods of supervision are much bet ter than hostile attacks in the courts. There is just a little hope that government in the United States may learn sometime to pro ceed as sensibly with business and commerce as they have learned to do in Great Britain, Germany, and France.
