Economic Truth in America
(From the New York Sun. J

There Is nothing new for readers Of
The sun in the discovery OF Cha les NJ.
Schwab, the great steel man now In
France. that In the devastated regions
OF that country there will be little or
no reconstruction work for America
Some seven weeks ago this newspaper,
in this very column, made that fact
clear, with the simple explanation that
the great bulk Of the structures de-
strOyed In France and In Belgium was
OF stone and brick. The rebuilding will
be Of stone and brick, done with French
material and by French hands.
For those who knew anything about
France there never was any question
about this. For those who know any
thing about the steel situation in the
United States the hallucination that ex-
cessive prices could be held up here by
pouring our steel into Europe for the
peace work OF reconstruction as our
steel had been poured into Europe for
the war work OF destruction was as
Wild an economic dream as ever was
dreamed.
The hope OF American industry does
not lie in a huge demand by devastat-
ed France and destitute Germany and
chaotic Russia for our steel, our cap
per, our fuel and other basic materials
for manufacture. There is no such huge
demand; there will be none for long
time. Our Industrial promise lies and
Will lie at home

market for those srticles-at the right
prices. While this country has been al
war, and while before we ourselves
were at war, this country was supply-
ing Europe with war material, our
normal Industry and our normal busi-
ness were starved OF their normal sup
plies. Our normal industry and our
normal business are ready now to GO
ahead again full speed when normal
supplies can be had at something like
normal prices. They will not go ahead
on any basis OF abnormal war prices.
The building that would like TO be-
gin in this country, the manufacture
that would like 20 begin in this country,
the merchandising that would Ike to
begin in this country, are all waiting
for prices and general economic cond'-
tions that will permit them to do nor
NAL business-the only kind OF busi-
ness that can be done in worth while
and continuous volume, now that Tile
war is over.
The worst thing that can happen to
American capital, the worst thing that
can happen to American labor, the
worst thing that can happen to Amer
lean industries is far this waiting Tor
normal markets TO go on and on while
the nations industrial power and vigor
ooze away.
Get down 10 normal markets and we
can resume business. Resume business
and we can thrive and prosper, though
we never do a penny Of reconstruction
work in Europe, Asia or Africa.
