WAGHINGTON, Jan. lit—Reassur-
_ ances to the business men of. the coun-
. try regarding the policy of the De-
partment of Justice in enforcing the
Sherman anti-Trust laws are believed
- here to be conveyed in a. statement of
AttorneyGeneral Gregory. published
today, in which he outlines his policy.
The statement, issued through the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. was in response to a sugges-
tion that an expression .from the At-
tornhydleneralas to the Government‘s
attitude in future anti-Trust prosecu-
tions "might be regarded as reassur-
ing to the public mind." and might
"dispel some of the uncertainty which
heretofore existed."
in announcing the department's pol-
icy enforcing the law in admittedly
doubtful cases, the AttorneyrGeneral
said; that where the department was
assured of thegood faith of the par-
ties to a transzctlon it had not been
and would not be to invoke extreme
penalties against them.
“in such a case,” said Mr. Gregory,
“the department would consider that
the lust and appropriate and quickest
way of enforcing the law would be by
a'civil proceeding in which the ones
non involved would be’contested or a
consent .decree » entered, according as
the defendants desired, or by a notice
to the parties of the department’s con-
clusions, with opportunity to abandon
or' modify the' transaction."
é Discussing the means adopted by
the department to guard against on
just prosecutions, Mr. Gregopv declar-
ed that the person or corporation
against whom complaint is made. no-
less it has already declared its atti-
tude. is given full opportunityvto sub-
mit its defense before any action is
taken."
