SCHWAB STIRS MEN
APPEALS FOR GREAT MERCHANT MARINE TO CARRY FLAG INTO ALL PARTS OF EARTH: PLAN OF OPERATION IMMATERIAL so IT IS sEcoNoMIcALLY-EFFEcTIVE

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J, Dec. A. Four thousand men, representing vir- tually every branch of business and industry in the country, assembled here today in a reconstruction con- sress. listened to messages on re- adjustment problems delivered by Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield, Charles M. Sehwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, and director general of the Emergency Fleet corporation, and Harry A. Wheeler, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
 Mir Wheeler. amid great applause. urged that American business should be represented at the peace confer ence in France. MT. Schwab made an appeal for a great merchant marine to give outlet to surplus American products and declared that labor should be permitted to o-ganlze in in- dividual plants and share in the pros perity of the country. Secretary Red field said that no rash hands should be laid on wages; that the proper spirit of trade is not excessive profits. but service, and that the American business man should take into ac- count moral values when dealing with his customers in all lands.
 There was some talk here tonight that a committee of American busi- ness and industrial men might be sent to Europe during the peace ne gotiations.
 Secretary Redfield prefaced his speech with the statement that his remarks were not to be taken as an official announcement. T am more and more impressed" said Mir Red field, ''in reading current discussions and reflecting upon them with the truth that readjustment Is very large ly state of mind-that 1t requires not so much a program of fixed line of procedure as an evolution. While we are discussing it the process of re- adjustment is proceeding almost silently all about us"
 He made a plea that helpful hand be extended to the countries that sui fered through the ruthlessness of the central powers.

CRv Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The finian- cial history of Americas part in the war is set forth by Secretary McAdoo in his annual report drafted before his resignation, and made public today by the treasury. It is the history of how the American people paid billions in taxes, raised four great Liberty leans and created a tremendous pool of cred it with which the treasury through its many war agencies paid the bills of the army and navy, the shipping board and other government depart ments, loaned billions to the allies and millions to war industries, helped support the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over periods of financial stringency.
 "The payment into the treasury of vast sums in war taxes and from bond sales" said Secretary McAdoo, "and the transformation of our varied and complex economic life to the su- preme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock or financial disturbance. The credit and business structure of the nation re- mains sound and strong. The results of the four Liberty loans are tribute to the patriotism of the American peo- pie and to the economic strength of the nation"
