 The dinner was served in the big oak pannelled dining room in which the President lunched with the premier yes- terday. There were small lights on the walls. on which hung paintings. including portrait of Washington. unveiled by the President yesterday.
 The dinner was purely informal MT, Llyod George was seated at one end of the table, with President Wilson on his right and Sir Robert L. Borden. the Canadian premier. on his left At tee opposite end of the table sat Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer. with William H. Hughes, the Austra- lian premier, on one side and Gen.

possible to reduce the price of the com modities to much lower figure than those which the governments accepted as reasonable and paid. It would be hard
 to obtain from any of the executives of the steel corporation statement which would show what the first con templated out in prices will be- But there seems to be an impression that the corporation contemplates speedy cut of at least 20 per cent. If that cut be not sufficient to stabilize the relation between demand and the supply then an other cut in prices will presumably be made. So this will continue until at last the lower prices create a demand for steel and it's related commodities like steel rails and this demand will in fact be so large as to occupy all the plants to their capacities. So. therefore, the presumption is strong that Judge Gary had in mind when he stated few days ago that wages and subordinate salaries would be maintained at the present high figure while prices for the commodities would be cut, the creation of great de- mand for steel and steel commodities suf- ficient for the capacity of all the plants and sufficient to maintain dividend rates and surplus and sufficient also to pro- vide for very large export trade The government tax upon excess profits has been undoubtedly under consideration and the tax will continue to be large, but if the excess profits are reduced by reason of the cut in prices then the az gregate amount paid on excess profit tax account will also be reduced so that
 the two conditions will even up. It is with the intent of quoting prices for steel and steel commodities at such figure as will create a demand which will oc- cupy the various plants to their eapaci-
 ty that the policy is to be adopted. Ere quently this presumed policy is referred to by industrial leaders and by those who are of influence in the world of bankers as reflecting the far-sighted and the wise policy which has always been characteristic of this corporation. And in this instance an almost unique policy is in view since Judge Gary states that the steel business is, he is sure, to have five years of ample prosperity although
 wages and subordinate salaries may re- main high and although prices may be cut Some day when prices are suffi- ciently reduced then in Judge Gary S view, there is to follow a sufficient de- mand for the commodities and that de- mand will fix the limit of price cutting

Walter F. Wyman, in World Outlook
 If it is more important to introduce ready made cigarettes than it is to sup ply an example of unparalleled conner cial honesty. China ewes us great deal Otherwise it is vice versa. As an export manager and as member of the committee on foreign trade of the National Association of Manufacturers, have learned much from foreigners in methods of merchandising, in cour-' tesy and in breadth of business vision.
 l have learned that the credit losses of American manufacturers average less in their dealings with the far east than they do in their domestic relations, Unjustified claims, petty exactions and i-dishonesty are less frequent in foreign than in American trade.
 I have found out that the commits sions of Chinese and Japanese business men who have visited the United States since 1914 have set a high water mark for clean-cut investigation and obser- vation.
 I have learned also that the average merchant in the east is better mer-' chandiser, than the average dealer in the United States.
 Oriental trade has been linked with Europe rather than with the United States. When Europe was to Americans nearly forgotten geography page, it was Iull OI HVlng, breathing countries to the business men of the east. By trips to London and Paris, to Brussels and Milan, and by return visits from European salesmen and buyers, the Chinese and Japanese merchants knew what Europe was doing and how it did it.
 America wasg-to them the unknown continent.
