0PT|M|STS' VIEW
Dominant Belief That "Every-
thingW Come Out All
Right"
CLOSE WATCH ON CREDITS
BY I. A. FLEMING,

The naturally optimistic character
Of the American people. referring to
business interests especially. is evi-
denced in the dominant belief that
everything will turn out all right;
that the delegates to the Paris con-
ference will evolve a satisfactory
peace plan, and that the apparent
conflict between government depart
ments In the matter of steel prices
will be short lived.
The expected large orders for equip
ment for the railroads are, in the view
OF business interests, but postponed
Tor time. and the delay will have no
very serious effect; the calling on the
Mercantile Marine steamship negotia-
lions. by which the government was
expected to get the tonnage Of this
great corporation, was something of a
surprise, but. in the view of the street,
1t is all right and will work out that
way in the end.
