Breeder Of AntagOnisn,

THE experiences Of the past among
nations have taught us that the attempt
by one to punish another by exclusive
and discriminatory trade agreements has
been a prolific breeder Of that kind of
antagonism which oftentmes result in
war, and that If a permanent peace Is
to be established among nations every
obstacle that has stood in the way of
international friendship should be cast
aside.
Let US with that fundamental pur-
pose in mind that I announced this prin-
ciple in my address of January 8. To

IN GOOD WAR SPIRIT
Activities of Central West
Tend More Toward Gov
ernment Operations
Chicago, May 4

-Ndg l.
During recent months many great and
significant announcements have been
made with reference to the Governments
war plans. 1t would be difficult to as
sumo that anybody Is not familiar with
what is going on at this time, and also
as it refers to the general business of
the United States Therefore. under all
the conditions which have been taken
into consideration in the war program
1t may be said that the business of this
country is maintained in remarkably
good spirit. though more and more II
tends toward Government operations.
1t is pointed out that the attitude cf
the public is well evidenced in the Sc
curity market. While the demand for
investments continues moderate for ver,,
obvious reasons, the stock market has
not only shown great steadiness under
conditions Of critical character. but
from time to time has advanced mate
rally.
1t is announced that the time is grow
ing near when virtually 90 per cent of
the steel production of this country will
go into Government consumption. that
only 10 per cent will be available for
commercial purposes. II is needless then
to say anything further concerning the
ron and steel industry, as virtually all
the facts concerning the output of mills
have been published.
Leading REPORTS of various western
trunk lines show that shipping ranges
from to per cent under year ago
due principally TO the inadequate faciIi.
ties OF the railroads and to a more or
less greater extent the ABSORPTION of
such facilities for governmental shin.
ments. These reports indicate a steady
demand for a wide diversficatlon OF
merchandise and that the public had
confidence in the ability Of the country
TO maintain sound business conditions
in the face of the great crisis which
confronts IT.
In the drygoods and general merchan.
