RICH BEYOND DREAM
Prosperity and Happiness Will
Exceed All Expectations,
He Says

New York, June 3.-Speaking at a
dinner given in honor of the visiting
Chinese commissioners, Charles M.
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, said:
Il want to say just a word or two
regarding the necessity of better trans
p0rtatton facilities. No nation in the
world manufactures as well as the
United States. No nation in the world
sells any better or as well. But of
what Importance is 1t to manufacture
or sell If we can't deliver the goods?
In the manufacture of steel one
third of the cost is in transportation.
What is true of steel is true of other
manufactured products. The ability
or other nations to take advantage of
that one-third of the cost gives them
precedence in the commerce of great
nations like China.
In conclusion 1 want to say that
while feel the business in the United
states has gone through a depressing
period for the last two or three years,
1t is but a cycle, and that we will pro-
gress onward and upward, not only in
this generation, but in the generations
to come; that we will experience
greater prosperity and greater happi-
ness than has ever been dreamed Of"
Mr.. Schwab also sounded an opti-
mistic note regarding future trade re-
lations between the United States and
China. ....
Shenh Hsun Chang, chairman of the
honorary commercial committee of the
republic of China, the title which the
visiting delegation bears, urged ad-
ditional steamship lines between the
United States and China and an extern
sion of banking facilities between the
two countries.
Other speakers at the luncheon were
Willard Straight. of ]. P. Morgan &
Co. and president of the American
Asiatic Association, which was the host
of the occasion; Kai Flu Shah, min
lister from China: william Fellowes
Morgan, a New York merchant, and
David u. t. Yui. secretary of the COM
mission.
Mr. Morgan recalled the address of
welcome President Wilson delivered to
the commissioners at Washington. At
the mention of the Presidents name
the crowd at the luncheon burst into
applause. 1t was some moments be-
fore it was quiet enough for Mr.. Nor
gan to proceed.
