REMINGTON "IN PUBLIC INTEREST"—DECIDING FACTOR The courts have recently dissolved a two billion-dollar baking combination which was being organized. The Interstate Commerce Commission has prevented consolidation of certain railroad inter ests into one system. Twenty years ago these decisions would have resulted after a "trust busting" crusade. The present decisions were handed down, and have been ac cepted by the public, not with the idea of interfering with or con demning so-called big business, but because the organizations pro poned apparently failed to make their case, by showing that theh actions were in "the public interest. Within the past few weeks, consolidations of oil companies have taken place which have resulted in three companies, each in the half -billion-dollar class. These consolidations were apparently in the interest of the public, from the standpoint of conserving oil resources and giving better service. Consolidations of electric power systems and interconnection of transmission lines have been a necessary development in the electric industry, in order to render more e fficient service, hold down useless expense for duplicate machinery equipment, and tnus give the customer better service, at a minimum rate. ff The public no longer fears big business or necessary consolida tions. It has regulatory bodies and courts to deal with these prob lems. The only thing it does fear and which it will not permit, is a monoply or consolidation which fails to make clear its necessity from the standpoint of the public interest. The people know that "big business" in itself, is not to be condemned, it if renders more efficient public servee.
