Behind the growing and now In.
sistent demands for honest business,
honest public service and honest
policies there is, OF course, much that
is material and much that is selfish,
but in the main the selfish impulses
are caused by just grievances against
the existing order in business, In
politics and even In government.

MORGAN BOOSTS
 STEEL SHARES

Paris, June 1.-The negotiations for the listing of the shares of the United States Steel corporation on the Paris bourse were concluded today. Six influential banking institutions have bought outright a large block of the stock and will offer it to the public.
 The credit for the listing of Steel com mon on the Paris bourse, which opens the door to other American stocks, be- longs primarily to J. P. Morgan, who has been in Paris personally conducting the campaign. The circumstances were propitious. Those French credit institu- tions which heretofore were hostile to American stocks have been astounded at the recoveries shown since the recent financial depression in the United States Latterly also the threat of increased tax ation such as the income tax, has had the effect of driving much French money into seeking Investment abroad and the attractiveness of American stocks proved irresistible, creating a great deal of curb trading, to the detriment of French in- dustries.
 Both the stock exchange governors and the French government decided that the time had come to give American stocks a legal standing.
