We deprecate strongly the attempt of private enterprises to gain their ends by seeking to' exploit an abnormal situation. The people have reaped enormous benefit by Statfe enterprise, and a cessation of State activities m the direction of protecting people from exploitation by trusts and ..combines would be an outrageous crime .and a deplorable exhibition of reaction which is totally unwarranted."
