Puiicity Said to Be a Fostering Force A

IT PUTS A CliEK ON COMPETITION
Chairman Knapp, of the Inter - State
Commerce Commission, Says Pub- C
Ilclty Encourages Combination. ?
* si
Washington, Special.?The various f(
sections of the American Association ij
for the Advancement of Science held 0
largely attended meetings at which 'a
papers of a technical nature were j,
read.
Chairman Knapp, of the Inter-State
Commerce Commission, in his paper ^
entitled "Capitalization and Publicity," Ci
discusses the proposition that all cor- C
porations under congressional control tl
be required to make full disclosure of tl
their genesis and operations so that it r<
may be seen how the amount of money G
originally paid in, or the value of the J?
assets at any time owned, compares ^
with the par value of all bonds and ^
stocks issued.
Mr. Knapp said he ventured to doubt | c<
the soundness of the argument that a:
publicity would prevent stock watering. ai
He said In part:
"The justification for this proposal, !
oust be found. If found at all, in the
theory that the State is charged with
the duty of safeguarding the invest- {(
ruent of capital tn corporate securities, x
To my mind this is a most serious P
proposition and I think we should hesitate
before embarking upon a paternal
venture. Leaving out the speculator, '
seeking honest investment, ten times g
more money, to say the least, has been q
sunk in farm mortages, suburban lots,
patent rights, buying and selling
grain, cotton, and other commodities,
where no corporate shares were dealt
In or even existed, than was ever lost
an account of the fictitious or exces- fi
sive issue of corporation securities. I la
annot but regard corporate publicity h
af the kind and to the extent advocated al
. ?j ? vi- n
by many as a certain anu seriuus umirance
to effective competition. Just as it
the Sherman anti-trust law. which is n
based upon an economic fallacy, has d
indirectly aided the very results it was
iesigned to prevent, so the compulsory
disclosure of all corporate transactions
would undermine the competition
it was intended to support. Bearing
in mind bow rapidly all kinds of .!
business are assuming the corporate
farm, that the competition of individuals
is fast disappearing and that com- bi
petition in the future will be mainly c<
between corporations, it seems plain
to me that the enforcement of corporate
publicity would be an added in- .
:entive to industrial combination."
In a paper on the necessity of organization
among employers, David M. qi
Parry declared that as yet organized
rapital has no perfect definition, but
its meaning is slowly beginning to
take form. Organized capital, he said,
should mean a combination of the in- tl
terests of the men who share practical- >?
ly the same views as to the administra- T
tion of their businesses. He continued:
"When capital is thoroughly or
Sanized, then will come the almost i .
""mrilotd rlisannearance Of the strike | ?
and the boycott, tor they are but systematic
manifestations of social disease pi
growing out of imperfect organibation.
When organized employers and em- w
ployes can sit down together then may C
be taken up trade disputes and other
matters affecting their mutual interests.
and these may be disposed of in ?
iny intelligent, orderly and scientific a'
manner. As there is no national federition
of employers at present, neces- ^
dty oemands the immediate creation I
jf one."

U'
eview of the business year issued

"To say that 1902 was the best year

strides which the United States took tj

Manufacture showed an increase c<
ibove the best of previous years, and k
ret this immense enlargement of output
was not sufficient of itself to
satisfy the growing, it might be term?d

Materials. In many cases the usual
,'oreign outlet for products was, per- sj
torce, neglected by the American pro- U:
locers, who confined their efforts to si
rupplying insistent domestic demands,
