TAFT'S SPEECH TO OUTLINE POLICY

Is to Be Delivered at New York Republican Club Dinner. DEFINES PREVIOUS POSITION Will Be In Response to Alleged PuA pose of Executive to Btart Crusade Against Trusts and Combinations. N Washington, Feb. 11. President Taft’s speech at the annnal dinner of the New York Republican club ati the Waldorf next Saturday night will be in the nature of a message to the big financial and industrial interests of the country. While the president will adhere to What he has said in previous speeches and his special message of Jan. 7, recommending federal Incorporation and amendments to the interstate commerce law, he will endeavor to make it clear that he has not started to run amuck in the business world. There is a possibility that the president may decide to deliver this speech on some other occasion than the New York Republican club dinner, but he is now engaged in preparing it with the view of making it at that function. Many of the complaints over Mr. Taft’s supposed purpose to start a general crusade against trusts and combinations have come from New York, and it was regarded by his friends and advisers as appropriate that his response to those complaints should be answered in that ‘city. The president put in most of Thursday afternoon on the speech with the idea of having printed copies ready to be distributed turough the press associations before Saturday, when he will leave Washington for New York. Apparently lie desires to have it given the widc.-t publicity:. Tt was explained that while the speech would hot afford comfort to illegal combinations of capital, there was nothin: In if to make the legitimate business- combinations shiver with fear. According to what the president has fai l to visitors recently his attitude toward the trusts has not undergone a cbahee.ain.ee ids explanation of that attitude in his message of Jan. 7. He regards the promises made in th<? Republican party platform and his own declarations in the campaign of IMS! as binding on himself and the Republican party and will emphasize that position.
