WARBURG WARNS ON
WAR ORDER INITIATION
Tells Credit Men of Grave
Danger to Business After
Peace Has Come.

Paul NJ Warburg. speaking to 500
credit men al the annual dinner Of the
New York Credit Mems Associatlo
last night in the \stor, warned Amerl-
can business against too hasty ex-
tension of plants iiling war orders,
and urged "A conservative policy to avoid
trouble after the war.
THE seeds Of grave danger are i'm the
enlargement of industries temporarily
overstimulated by a passing condition
and using their resources to cope with
the extraordinary demands" he said
The banking and business community
might well issue n word of warning
against using profits, II indeed actual
profits are being used, to expand beyond
the limits of prudence.
There is "a danger that this new bus-
ness may mislead us into building AN
expanded credit structure upon an un-
stable foundation Of shifting gold and a
heavy industrial structure upon basis
of ephemeral demands"
Mr.. Warburg's recommendations of
caution included the placing OF American
Industries on "A permanent rather than
a temporary basis and gathering in gold
nov wastefully carried in the people :
pockets" in exchange for notes of the
Federal reserve banks, of which MIR.
Warburg is "A director.
District Attorney Swami and Senator
Gore of oklahoma also spoke. Others
present were Justice Vernon NJ Davis

one OF the gratifying features of the
quarterly statement OF the Steel Corpora
ton was that the earnings from October
until the end of December were on an
advancing scale. The earnings for No
Nember after deductlng the interest on
the subsidiary companies bonds were
sl6.563.sJ4, those for November were
Sl6.?so.?bs. while those for December
were sl1.617.966. For the three pre-
vous months or 1915 they were: July.
sl2.O4j.2lS: August. sl2.s69.09e. and
September. $l3.1g3,321.
For the first three months OF the year
they were AS follows: January, sl.6S1,-
$50: February. S3.63S.57s, and March.

see earnings going on an increasing scale
and the fact that the Improvement had
been kept up during the entire year was
generally reassuring To the financial dis

II the december earnings were larger
than any other month the improve
ment Was still going strong and the out
