Gary of the United States Steel cor
poration, and president of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute, addressed
the semi-annual meeting of the insti-
tute here today. He reviewed the iron
and steel trade, not only of the Unit
ed States, but of the world, in touch
ing upon the amicable relations exist
ing between the business men of var
ious European nations and those of the
United States following the meeting
OF the representatives of the iron and
steel manufacturing industries of the
world in Europe three years ago. In
this connection Gary touched upon the
European war and declared:
without giving reasons in detail
at the present time, | venture the opin-
ion that the struggle for commercial
supremacy was the underlying cause
of the war, or at least rad d decided
influence upon its precipitation; that
the questions at issue relate to dollars
and cents. And many believe if the
representatives OF the different ma
tions had previously met in spirit Of
friendly and considerate inquiry for
the purpose of definitely and finally
settling the financial interests of EACH
all trouble would have been averted."
Discussing business conditions, Gary
said
Optimistic in Principle.
Il am an optimist IN principle as
well as in practice There is always
bright side, although it may be tenn
porarily obscured. However. nothing
is to be gained by closing our eyes
to well known and clearly recognized
facts; and at present we are not very
prosperous in our lines.
"But what of the future? We are
always comforted by the fact that the
productive capacity and actual produc-
tion of wealth in the United States is
growing year by year; and this ability
to produce will not and cannot be di-
minished
Exports Increasing.
Besides, at the present time the ex-
ports of large variety of commodities
are increasing and although not equal
to the volume reported just prior to
the commencement of the war, yet
much larger than it was following the
beginning of the war. This will have
a material influence upon other lines,
All are stimulated and brought into
service.
AS to the long future, do not hes
itate to say, with emphasis, that the
opportunities for progress and success
in this country are greater than ever
before. II we can get out of the rut OF
antagonism. inconsistency, distrust,
hypocrisy, individual indifference to
the rights and interests of others
which seem to have prevented natural
and legitimate progress during the
past few years, so that the people gen.
orally will disregard personal ambition
and will work together. joining hands.
