BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN.
(Staff Correspondent of the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.—With a
certainty that currency legislation
will soon be before him for his signa
ture, President Wilson, today, turned
to the trust policy. This will be the
all-overshadowing issue of the regu
lar aeeeion of Congress. The presi
dent will devote the major portion of
his annual message to this problem.
He has told a score of congressional
visitors during the last few days that
the anti-trust
nated for ell time. The big corpora
tions of the country, he believes, are
ready to go ahead, and do business
Under the he’ wtaflff law, but they
want.and (hey have, the president
think a the right to expect that they
will have defined for them how they
can operate aad whether they are to
he limited by a series of new laws.
To every single one of his vial tors
the president has insisted that tne
feet that a corporation has a capital
stock of a billion dollars is no reason
Vhy anyone should fear It To on#
visitor he said:
”1 am not objecting to the else of
.enterprises. Nothing Is big enough
to scare me. I am not objecting to
the of business, and, lea*( ot
all. 1 am-not objecting to people get-,
ting itoh from conducting business
with prudence. What I am going to
object tjg to-that the government shall
give them exceptional advantages,
Which jmables them to succeed and
Hoes Ml put them upon the seme
other people.”

brought against Rep. Charles Weldan
felisr, of Van Burea county, by
