nual meeting Of that organisation.
Mr.. Gary admitted the present de-
pressed state Of the steel trade. but was
optimistic of the future.
Without particularizing, IL would seem
safe TO predict that In many important
respects business conditions in the United
States for the next three months at least
will be better than they have been for
the last three months he declared. Il
do not hesitate to say, with emphasis,
that the opportunity for success and
progress in this country is greater than
ever before"
'Paredoxical as II may seem" added
Mr.. Gary. the nation which is success
full In this war will surely lose The
struggle for commercial supremacy was
the underlying cause OF the war and
many believe that II representatives Of
the different nations previously had met
in friendly spirit to settle the financial
interests involved, all trouble would have
been averted.
Undoubtedly It would be to the best
interests OF all the nations engaged in
the present war. and to the world at
large. II the integrity and geographical
lines OF each of those nations could be
substantially preserved"
