" DENIES TRUST CHARGE
Trade Not Restrained and Public
Is Benefited, Says Supreme
Court Brief
WASHINGTON, March 1. The Inter
national Harvester Company replied today
to tlio Government's trust charges by ns
nertlng In n brief, filed In tho Supremo
Court, that tho Government's agents are
necking to apply tho "rulo of bIzo Instead
of tho rulo of reason" to tho gigantic con
cern. The Government recently asked the Su
premo Court "to- dissolve tho company as n
trust Inimical to tho health nnd general
prosperity of tho nation's business.
"Is It logical," asksttho brief, "Is It rea
tonable or Just to urge tho court to dis
member ft corporation that possesses no
unfair or cxclustvo advantage whoso rec
ord by the undisputed test of a thousand
witnesses has been helpful and not In
jurious to tho public; whoso treatment of
competitors by tho findings of tho lower
court has been "honorable clean and fair'
for fear that some other combination that
has nctually restrained trade, or Is attempt
ing to do so, may escape punishment?
"Slnco the evidence showed that tho har
restcr company had not committed tiny act
forbidden by tho languago of tho law, It
Is declared that the caso must rest en
tirely upon Its violation, not of what Con
gress put Into tho law, but of what tho
Government's counsel now assert Congress
had In mind when It enacted tho law, nnd
this It undertakes to ascertain from de
bates In Congress, magazine nrtlclcs nnd
quotations from court decisions."
This course, tho harvester nttorneys set
forth, upsets tho rulo followed by the Su
preme Court Itself In tho Standard Oil
and tobacco cascjs.
Tho harvester brief expresses astonish
ment at tho' Government's Introduction of
such phrases ns "preponderant position In
tho tradev" "undue concentration of eco
nomic powers" nnd "threatening of tho nor
mal law of competition" Into anti-trust leg
islation. These phrases, It Is pointed out,
are not equivalent to "restraint of trade"
and "monopoly," on which the Sherman law
Is based.
Tho harvester company sets forth at
length the growth of rival concerns'as proof
that It Is not cxcrqlslng Uny power In
restraint of competition.
In conclusion, tho brief suggests that the
dismissal of the Government's suit would
"protect tho Interests of tho public by en
abling tho Go eminent at all times prompt
ly aniLcffcctlvely to prevent any attempt to
Bionopollzo or restrain trado on the part
of the defendants."

FINANCIAL STANDARDS
ASSAILED BY PREACHER
"Judas's Penco Value" wns tho subject
of the sermon of tho Rev. Paul U Young,
of St. Paul's Church, at tho noonday Lenten
service In Old St. John's Church today. Ho
said:
"Judas only knew of pence value This Is
a modern fault. Thousands of men and
women today estimate all the finer attri
butes of lifo In dollars and cents. Friend
ship sympathy, faithfulness, sacrifice and
love Itself are listed In the Judas prlco
catalogue now
"The salvation of a soul Is not a penco
business. A money-seeking pastor or evan
gelist Is not a soul healer, but a penco col
lector. Tho church of today which values
Its success on Its financial report Is missing
the purpose to which It was dedicated,"
