Opinions Differ.


the beginning OF 1918, and at a time
when it was reported that the last
part Of December. 1917. was the dull
est the steel trade had experienced
since 1875. This statement, however,
had reference to the commercial mar
kets. For domestic manufacturers in
December bought comparatively little
steel
The reason for that was not obscure
The government was exercising Its
power to commander the products or
the steel mills so that these were oc-
cupied chiefly with the production OF
government work.
This. however. WIS not the reason
why Judge Gary told his Chicago hear
ers that the war might be prolonged
perhaps until three years have passed.
The steel mills OF the United States
will be able. IL other conditions are IA
vorable. to supply the government
with all the steel that IT needed for
war purposes and fairly well to meet
domestic demands. Two Of these con-
ditions refer to the increasing scarcity
of labor to which Judge Gary made
impressive reference and also to the
congestion of traffic.
Under the slillful guidance of d.
rector General McAdoo. the probabili-
ties are strong that the congestion of
traffic will be ended or at least the
condition greatly improved. There
fore IL there can be secured a fairly
adequate supply Of labor and salts
factory transportation conditions the
steel industry will again be speeded UP
perhaps to a 100 per cent of its
capacity.

Preparing for Future.

Not the least significant feature dis
covered in the address which Judge
Gary delivered at Chicago Is his ref
erence to conditions OF the future as
they may arise after the war Is ended.
II has been known by those who are
in close association with the man.
agenent of the United States Steel
Corporation. that Judge Gary and his
associates have discussed among them
selves and to some extent among
those In whom they felt It safe to
confide the condition Of unprepSfed-
ness Of our Industries for after-the-
war conditions. The industries will be
called upon after the war Is ended to
do quite as much in the way OF OUT
put as they have been called upon for
output since we entered, the war.
Judge Gary says that there should
be no stinting in building plants. I'M
proving or expanding existing plants.
for the conditions which we shall be
compelled to face after the war is
ended will be far different from those
which have heretofore arisen after a
long period Of prosperity when re-
action at last sets In.
The managers Of many corporations
in the past, when prosperity was
abundant, expanded their plants. in
vested large amounts OF money in i'm
provements and then, when reaction
came, found themselves with empty
factories on their hands and with no
returns for the money invested. That
was because reaction had carried
them below trade and Industrial de-
mands.

PREPAREFO FOR
WORLD TRADE
Judge E. H. Gary Advises
Business Expansion for
After War Conditions.

About eighteen months ago Judge
E. H. Gary intimated that he had some
reasons for surmising that the Eu-
ropean war would be brought to a
close in the course OF a few months
In his address at Chicago on Saturday
Of last week Judge Gary stated that no
one could now tell even approximately
when the war would end. It might
continue for three or four years.
whereas. on the other hand. II maybe
Of a sudden terminated within a few
months. NJ
II this should happen to be the case
the end will come because OF the
operation Of causes Of which now no
man has knowledge or Of which he can
make any forecast.
The Washington herald., 1918-01-11
After American Products.

q Inc government, according to Judge
Gary, Is now the chief buyer in the
markets where the products Of In
dustries are placed. After the war
u ended Il Is Inevitable that other
nations than our own will approach
these markets for American products
since these will be vital in rebuilding
industries, repairing damages and i'm
proving railroads in the countries
that have been devastated by war.
Our irdustries should therefore be
prepared to meet these demands.
Ordinarily Judge Gary would have
sounded a note OF caution lest there
be oyer-expansion OF industries ii.
this time Of great activity. Now he
ventures the opinion that expansion
Of plants, improvements and con-
structson Of new plants are not to be
considered as alarming but on the
other hand as something that viii be
sf great avail after the war is ended.
This viii be in sympathy with the
work OF preparation for the days OF
peace which Judge Gary's associates
oelieye to be almost as important as
preparation for war.

All VIII Seek Trade.

Judge Gary ASSERTS that this will
not be the case after peace comes.
The new condition which we shall
then face will be due to two causes:
One is the evident preparations which
both Germany and Great Britain are
making for securing a great II not
predominant part OF the worlds trade
when the war becomes history.
Great Britain, in fact, Acknowledges
that some part of the endeavors Of
her government Is now directed to-
wards preparation for commandins
great world trade after the war ends.
The managers OF the Steel Cor
poration have known for a year or
more that. notwithstanding the eco
nomic condition in Germany, the gov
ernment Is speeding up the building
OF new ships so that they NAV be
ready for Germany's trade with the
world after the war Is ended and Is
also cultivating Industrial activity
along lines OF which avail can be
made when peace comes.
Therefore IL We are to be able to
meet this peaceful but energetic COM
mercial struggle. keeping as much
Of the worlds trade as we have OBJ
tained since the war began and also
increasing that trade, we must he
prepared. through the perfecting os
our transportation systems. through
the utilization Of labor SO that it eaa
oe quickly returned to the indus
tries, for the part we must take in
this struggle for the worlds trade.
Clearly then, according to Judge
Gary's intimation. the many hundred
MIL nilaons which have been. and are
ton Of new plants and the improve
ment and expansion of present ones,
VIII be Of advantage even when these
plants and improvements are no
longer needed for the war work

Distinguished French Soldier Here.

A patriotic meeting OF great inter
est was held i'm the Opera House Oh
Sunday evening under the auspices OF
the knights of Columbus. Lieuten-
ant George IA. Savage, of the French
Army, gave an address full OF per-
sonal touches, and held the attention
of large and representative audience
for the whole evening.
The meeting was presided over by
mt George R. Gehr, who introduced
DR. Savage with most graceful
tribute, and the enjoyment of the
evening was increased by the singing
of patriotic songs by the Boys Work
ing Reserve. They were ably ac-
companied by Mrs. m. TT. Baumgart-
ner, and cOrnet solo was given by
Mr.. Arthur Stonesifer.
Lieutenant Savage enlisted as a
private in the French Army ait the
beginning OF the war, was later de-
tailed by the French Government to
the British Army a. IiaisOn officer,
and was decorated by King George
with the Distinguished Conduct
Medal.
IT. was sent to America in March
with the English Mission, and has
since been transferred to the French
High Commission in Washington.
We feel that the people of West
were most fortunate in
having had 81 opportunity of hearing
him, and that the meeting was one
of the most noteworthy that we have
had since the opening or .he war.
The knights Of Columbus are un-
der very great obligations to Mr..
Stonesifer for the generous use of
the Opera House
