100000 Profit
On War Munitions
Spurned by Firm
Humanitarian Concern Would
Aid u. S. Only Against
Choice, Manager Asserts

It was upon Humanitarian grounds
that the Roberts Safety Water Tube
Boiler Company. Of Red Bank. y. J.,
turned down a munition contract which
would have meant a S4,00O,00O or So
coo 600 profit for the concern some time
ego.
f. Gerry Roberts, general manager OF
the company. said last night that he
would refuse TO manufacture munitions
for a foreign government, regardless OF
the profits.
"The contract was offered us by an
agent Of the Allies" he continued. 81
understood that the order was for the
French government. | presented the
matter at a meeting of our directors,
and we voted unanimously TO turn down
the contract There were present at
the meeting william A. Reckless, j. Nj.
Hofrmire and myself. Mr.. Hofmire has
since died.
I'VE could have made a profit Of Sl,-
600 900 or $4,000, O00.'
"Why did you turn down the con-
tract?" Mr.. Roberts was asked.
Because w are not in the munitions
manufacturing business, any more THAI
we are in the business of cracking
safes We refused the commission on
humanitarian grounds
How far does your humanitarian
ism extend? Would you refuse TO make
munitions for your own country if we
went to war;" were the next questions.
we would probably have no choice
but obey II this country demanded that
we make munitions for its use. If
had a free choice in the matter | would
not make munitions even for this coun-
try"

Banker Predicts
End of Loans if
u. S. Enters War
LRr cahle 20 The Tnhunel


London, Feb. 2S.-The entrance Of the
United States into the war would have
a marked effect on the finances Of the
Entente nations, an American banker
said to-day.
ut is necessary TO remember ne
said, that apart from the United
States own military necessities We will
shortly have to find 100000, 600, pare-
~ for treasury purposes and partly IN
connection with the Panama bonds.
Britain certainly will continue to obtain
any money required against deposit
of collateral The effect OF America 5
entrance into the war would be a sud
den decrease IN American balances in
London, which have heavily increased
just recently.
But declaration of war by the
United States would end the possibility
Of other countries raising loans IN
America. Italy recently sought loan
in New Irok, and actually received q
small amount, but it is impossible fol
her to increase that now.
Owing to her condition, It IS un-
likely that France will attempt TO raise
another loan at present, while so far
as Russia is concerned, American IN
terests are little affected
