General Motors Control Adds 67 Corporations to Du Pont Interests

NEW YORK, Dec. 18—(Special)—With the acquisition of the control of the General Motors company, the du Ponts and the J. P. Morgan company have added 68 additional corporations to their already tremendous interests. This group, next to the United States Steel company, also under domination of Morgan interests, constitutes the second largest industrial enterprise in the United States.

The du Ponts have been interested in General Motors stock for several years. Last June they affiliated with the Morgan interests and the combined holdings of the two concerns amounts to greater than 50 per cent of the General Motor stock.

The great fund of new capital back of the General Motors company now makes possible a tremendous expansion, although it is the opinion here that no immediate extension is contemplated at this time. W. C. Durant, whose holdings were taken over, will very likely be chosen as chairman of the board of directors of the company, as Durant is considered one of the pillars of the automobile industry, and his brains and imagination, together with his genius for financial organization will very likely cause his retention as the directing head of the concern.

No change in the organization of the General Motors is contemplated, according to information given out here, and the various divisions and subsidiaries will remain as they now are.
