Special Cable Despatch 10 The Sun.
LONDON, April 2O.-A secret conference
of the highest importance to the steel manu-
facturers Of the world began its sessions
here yesterday. It's object is to arrange
for the reservation of home markets, the
prevention of dumping and the fixing of
uniform export prices
The countries represented are Great
Britain, Germany, the United States. Aus
tra and Belgium. The project originated
with the German syndicate, the Deutscher
Stahlwerksverband, Of which Herr Thyssen
is the chief representative. The French
manufacturers are sympathetic. but are
not represented In the conference because
their exports are small

with the result that dumping was greatly
restricted during the last two months.
The original proposal was to regulate
prices only in the neutral markets. The
British manufacturers objected that this
proposal was not feasible unless It included
Great Britain, where Germany dumps a
million tons a year. Germany agreed to
this in principle, and a conference was
summoned for a discussion Of the whole
question of export prices in all markets.

steel and semiproduots.
The first difficulty was the non.existenos

who include twelve groups. There Is q
fair prospect that this will be speedily
overcome by the efforts OF Sir Christopher
Furness and others.
The second obstacle is the fact that
several English manufacturers arc also
great consumers. who have profited by the
dumping of foreign steel billets on the Eng
lsh market. 1t is believed that these will
be sufficiently compensated by larger
profits of manufacture. which will fully
Offset their loss Of advantages as con-
sumers.
The third difficulty is the problem Of a
control or check on operation. This Ia
under consideration. 1t is pointed out
that the British manufacturers worked
successfully few years ago under a So
called gentlemen's agreement on this sub
ject, which did not provide for fines and
penalties 1t is admitted that this plan
would not work in a world wide COM
bination.
