Federal control of corporations urged by Wickersham
Paducah July ? George W Wickersham United States Attorney General told Kentucky State Bar Association that interstate commerce should be carried out by nationally created corporations. He argued states may regulate foreign firms and suggested licensing could be revoked if 40 percent of stock is owned by another company. He acknowledged opposition to centralization but called federal corporate law an inevitable response to economic conditions. He cited Security Mutual Life Insurance Co. v Prewitt to support state power over foreign corporations and potential exclusion from federal court.
