Of its conclusion that the financial relationship had resulted in an advan- tageous out forlet du Pont produc the commission said that “this, ho ever, is only one reason for this finan- cial ' relationship, and not necessarily the most important one.” Mr. Humphrey charged that the investigation had been intended to show that “corporations did not know how to run their own business, to impress upon Congress and the country that the vast wisdom of the commission would solve all problems that vex the industrial world, and were more than willing to do so0.” “The inflated egotism,” he said, “of this proposal (the resolution calling for the inquiry) is only exceeded by the sincerity of the belief of those making it that they were entirely able to per- form the gigantic task for the benefit ©f business and to the entire satisfac- tion of the public, and to the unfading glory of hemselves.” “A bare majority of the commission On all light standards along the route of the inaugural parade and from Union Station Plaza to the Capitol Plaza_this flag and color scheme will prevail.

Neither is on the commission now. The three constituting the majority at that time had strange and startling ideas about the Government control of corporations, and still stranger and ‘more erratic ideas sbout the powers and duties of the commission.” “The main reason in writing this dissenting opinion,” Humphrey's state- ment continued, “is to reassure the busi- ness of the country that no such per- formance will happen again. This ac- tion is without precedents. None like it will follow. It is beyond all reason- | able probability that the President will | ever appoint, and the Senate confirm, | & majority of the commission who hold such irrational opinions of the powers and duties of the commission. The history of this case furnishes a most instructive instance of how men clothed with a little brief authority become drunk with their own greatness and lose all sense of proportion, and be- come entirely blinded to the rights of the citizens.” | At the time the resolution was adopt- ed in July, 1927, the commission called attention to published financial reports showing that the du Pont company had a large investment in the stock of the General Motors Corporation and the Steel Corporation, and that it ex- pected to have a number of directors Tepresenting its interests elected to the hoard of the Steel Corporation and in other ways to develop a close corporate connection between the three com- panies. The commission held at that time that the establishment of a com- munity interest among these three firms was a matter of ¥ublic concern_ and instructed its chief economist to' con- duct an investigation.
