Great interstate industirea can be brought under' a permanent federal supervis ion through a system of regular re ports to a federal agency, in a ration al, effective way, which will on the contrary forestall it. Such is fhe conclusion drawn in the annual report of Herbert Knox Smith, eommisioner of corporations, to the secretary of commerce and labor, which was made public today. Coming closely upon the heels of the administration's federal incorpor. ation bill, which has been presented to both Houses of Congress, Commis sioner Smith' recommendations are of unusual interest. ! 'Publicity will improve the stand ing of our corporate securities both at home and abroad," Mr. Smith de clared, "and will help to give to our business machinery that foundation ffairness and openness and public ooftfidenee which it must have if it is to be a -permanent factor in our na tional advance. ' "It will bring together the gov ernment and the corporate manager in conference and co-operation, which alone ran serve to adjust continu ously the complex and charging re lafionshop between our business forces 4nd the public welfare." Mr. Smith contends that already tinder public condemnation, made pos sible by facts plainly stated, great Corporate abuses have been abandon ed. ; He asserts Mat a gignatic system ef railroad rate discriminations has teen wiped away and numerous forms f comereial oppression diminished. Corporate managers, themselves, de clares Mr. 'Smith, are frankly advo- J fating a more open accounting. The issue ts national," the report continues. "Action by the federal government is imperative under its unquestioned power land duty to reg late intestate commerce. One of the primary motives for the creation of the federal government was for a na tional business. Those directing the great corporations have deliberately nationalized them in size and scope; they cannot now be heard to object to 'a centralized control which they themselves have made necessary. COMMANDER PEARY MAY BE MADE REAL ADMIRAL Washington, D. C, Feb. 9 Promo tion to rank of rear admiral as one of the honors to be bestowed upon Commander Robert E. Peary, U. S. N for his achievement in discover ing the North Pole, received the en dorsement of the Senate today. The Hale bill adding Peary's name to the list of rear admirals in the navy and providing for his immediate retirement with . the highest pay re ceived by one of the rank, was fa rorably reported by the committee on naval affairs, and was almost immedi ately passed without debate or com ment. ; A similar measure offered in the Hovse by Representative Allen, of Maine, was forwarded to the navy department by Chairman Foss, of the House naval committee, who stated that he expected U would be approved by the department, and that he would then urge its passage by the House as tit ting recognition of the work of Commander Peary. 4. ; Peary'f Comment Previdenee, R. t, Feb, 9.
