But there is another question. ~Some people call it a new question, but it is not, Tt is an old question. The trust question is not new.

That is in fiie power and he has not done nis duty until he does that. for the present law is not sufficient. But you say that may. the Supreme Court would hold that no law ‘could extingulsh trusts under our pr ent constitution. Then the Attorney Gen- eral should recommend an amendment to the constitution that would give to Con- gress the DOWer to exterminate trusts; put instead of doing his he writes a letter saying that if there is any relief it must be found in the States. I deny that the States are able to furnish a complete re- lief. I belleve that the Federal Govern- ment that reaches into every nook and corner of the land is the only power suf- fielent to cope with the trusts.
