Great D Danger Of Disastrous
Imitation Says Steel. Trust

Believes War Will Come tc
An End Sooner Than

NEW YORK, Jan. Gilbert H.
Gary, chairman OF the United States
Steel Corporation. last night issued q
statement dealing in detail with pre-.
yailing prosperous conditions in the
steel and iron trade, together with .
forecast Of, the future of that industry.
Reference is made to the European
conflict In fits worldwide application
to economic conditions. Judge Gary
calls attention to the dangers of over
product or imitation by manufactur.
sand bankers. resulting from over
confidence, and the aid Of the govern
ment is invoked for adequate protec-
ton OF the country's Industries. In
part, the statement says:
ItSwilli be admitted by all manufac-
turerg of these products that there is
no reason to complain at the present
time as to the volume or urgency OF
the demand, nor, in most cases, Of the
prices received, notwithstanding costs

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec.
1O.-.War time conditions such as
prevail at present prove more clearly
than yards of academic discussion the
practical value and usefulness of the
cooperative principle to the eommun-
ity," according to G. j.. D. c. Coed;
hart, president OF one of the greatest
cooperative societies in Holland.
Originally styled "Eigen Hulp" (Selt

ship Of S15 and the modest capital OF
50, 100 has now close upon 10000
members and an annual turnover OF
about 100000. The basic principle
of the Self Help organization was TO
enable the somewhat scantily paid
middle and lower class officials OF the
Dutch civil and military services to
procure household necessaries at
minimum prices; all net profits real
lied being returned to the members
In the shape of dividends, which have
grown from $500 in the aggregate in
1878 to nearly 100000 for last year.
Membership Is ensured by first pay
ment OF ~ cents, which is the tenth
part of share" and no member is
allowed to hold more than ten shares
On this deposit money a fixed inter
est rate OF 4 per cent is paid.
OF late years the cooperative prtn-
cip!e has made enormous strides IN
Holland. All over the country. coop;
eratiye organizations have sprung up
The idea. originally intended for the
benefit OF government officials only,
has been extended and made to apply
to widely diversified objects; to az
ricultural, dairy farming. building and
credit societies, until the formation
of n central Netherlands Cooperative
Union" became a necessity. This
body has an advisory board OF ex-
merits IN all matters concerning coop
Grafton.
Hollands chief wealth lies in her
agricultural and dairying industries,
and 1t is IN these branches OF produc:
tiyity that cooperation has proved Oh
the greatest benefit, especially to the
small farmer. The agricultural tnsti-
tuition known as the Raf1eisen BANK
at Utrecht has accumulated savings
amounting to $2,400,000. and has adj
vanced loans on mortgages to mem
bers Of its $50 branches aggregattng

Loan Bank at EIndhoven, in North
Brabant, has 37S branches, savings
bank total OF $2,900,000 and mort
gage loan account Of $1,2SO.0O0.
There are big figures for small
country like Holland.
The difficulties encountered by the
cooperative societies during the pres
emit war havtrg been many and va
riet; but the public spirit displayed
by the organizers Of the various insti.
tutions has succeeded IN overcoming

"I believe the war OF Europe will
not be so long protracted as many, If
not the most Of men, predict. This
opinion is based principally upon two
grounds; In the first place, 1t seems
apparent that little, II any, benefit to
any belligerent country or to the old
world at large can result from the
war, except and unless 1t be the firm
establishment OF an international trib'
unal for the settlement Of all interna.
tional differences: one Is universal
and practical; and whose DEGREES are
enforceable: one that will prevent pro-
longation of wars in the future. This
can be created. If SO, negotiations for
peace and for such results should be
opened at once and pushed to con-
clusion. There will never be better
time.
IF one side or the other should abb
solutely conquer the other side (Which
seems impossible, unless the war is
carried to an extent that would leave
the surviving peoples OF the present
generation of all the nations helpless
and hopeless), there would be no need
nor disposition for an International
tribunal. The leaders of all the ma
tons must realize and appreciate
these facts and are likely to act upon
them soon.
"The other ground for my belief is
that each OF the warning nations is
starving for men and money, both.
They do not admit It, but the signs
are plenty and convincing. Any ma.
ton that is prolonging the war beyond
the ttme when it can be reasonably
