Primarily, the decree officially brands the corporation as n good combination with Its legality established. Further, the court held that preponderance In Industry of corporate combination Is not alone sufficient cauxo for their dissolution. The court ulso gave a new and judicial Interpretation or application of the Sherman luw, analogous to its famous Rule of Reason In the Standard OU and tobacco trust cases, by declaring public Interest must be considered in applying the law. The public Interest, it was held, would not be served and might be Injured by dissolving the steel concern.

The reply made by Premiers Lloyd George and Millcrund to President Wilson's lutest communication on tbe Adrlutic question repeuts the assurance that they never had the Intention of making a definite settlement without obtaining the views of the United Mutes government. . The reply, wldeh Is dated February 20, states thnt the absence of an American representative hud proved In practice an almost Insurmountable obstacle to .the success of the negotiations. The premiers observe as a fact of the greatest importance thnt President Wilson expresses a willingness to accept any settlement "mutually agreeable to Italy and Jugo-Sluvl- a regarding their common frontier In the Flume region, provided such agreement Is not made on the lmsls of compensation elsewhere at the expense of lmWomils of a third power. This, the premiers agree, would be an Ideal way of settling tbe question, and they express willingness to do their utmost to reach a settlement by this rond. In order to facilitate this process they ore ready to withdraw their proHsals of December 9 ano January 20, because they believe If the parties principally concerned believe the allies and associated powers committed to supporting them In any par. tlcutur solution It will be more difficult to secure a voluntary ogreement. The premiers, therefore, cordially Invite tbe president to join them In a formal proposal to the Italian and Jngo-Sln- r governments to negotiate an agreement on tho basis of withdrawal of all previous proposals.
