What's What in America

by Eugene V. Brewster

Let us assume that in the preceding pages we have proved the following propositions:

1. That the Trust cannot and must not be destroyed.

2. That the government could not and should not own and operate the Trusts.

3. That the Trust, if not interfered with, will work great injury to society and that therefore some stringent action must be taken.

4. That such action must be such as will not destroy the many virtues of the Trust.

INTERDEPENDENCE.

Let us assume that we have also proven the following propositions:

1. That every man is dependent upon his fellows for all the necessaries and comforts of life.

2. That every industry is dependent upon other industries.

3. That the natural, proper and inevitable tendency is toward specialization and localization.
