MIR. Hepburn's Forecast
A. Barton Hepburn is esteemed
as a man well qualified to forecast
financial industrial and business
conditions. He is conservative, but
wisely Conservative. Therefore, his
latest statement which refers to
present conditions and the future,
has been a gratifying topic in finan-
cial and business circles. When Mr..
Hepburn says that the Federal Re-
serve system and the banks have
been able to cope with difficult stu
alton and continue successfully to
do it, he speaks as one having know
ledge. He does not fix a time when
recovery from prevailing depression
will begin, intimating that no man
con do that just now, but he is con-
fident that there will be a recovery
which will be followed by unex-
ampled prosperity as he is that the
sun will rise.
All that Mt. Hepburn has said is
in line with comments which have
been made by other leaders in Am
erican industrial and financial life.
All are confident that depression to
end with out serious disaster, al
though at the time accompanied by
scme embarrassment and when t

HIGH FINANCIERS
TALK REAL OPTIMISM
From the Wall Street Journal:

From the Wall Street Journal:
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of
of the Board of the United States
Steel Corporation in the latest Of
his public communications rsafirms
the position he took shortly after his
return from Europe last summer.
He does not look with downcast eyes
upon present day conditions. HIS
words as always are full of encouS-
agement, and he is so situated that
he ought to know what conditions
are and base his opinions upon
facts and not theories.
There was one brief comment in
his latest communication to which
perhaps not so much attention has
been paid as other portions Of his
review. He spoke of the almost in
.conceivably grand opportunities for
so utilizing American soil as to Sc
cure harvests in comparison with
which even the latest record-making
harvest is trivial. He referred to the
cultivation of all that remains many
million acres to be opened to cult
vation, as containing opportunities
for creating vast new wealth each
year.
Judge Gary evidently had in mind
the utilization by American agricul-
ture of modern methods modern

TRADE NEGOTIATIONS
NOT YET BEGUN
Between the Allies and Russian Soviet
Minister-Great Britain Wants
Assurances First.

London, June 4.--Trade negotiations
between the allies and Gregory Kras-
sin, Russian soviet minister of trade
and commerce, have not yet begun, ac-
cording to a statement by Premier
Lloyd George in the House of Com
mons yesterday.
Replying to a food of insistent
queries, the premier said there were
certain questions which Great Britain
wanted definitely settled before it
would undertake negotiations. Russia
must guarantee that there would be no
attacks on British interests in the
East or at home while negotiations are
proceeding, Mr.. Lloyd George declared,
and must guarantee to release all Brit
ish prisoners, whether civil or military.
Great Britain must clear these ques-
tions out of the way herself, the pre-
mier added, after which allied negotia-
tions could proceed.
Representatives of the French and
Italian governments are in London.

Newport, R. l., June with new

Tense were ready to-day for the second

clear and light breeze was shifting
down from the north, with just power
enough TO watt the yachts down the
bay and out to the start at Brenton's
Reef lightship. Off shore it was very
clear and Block Island, to the south,
and even Gay Head, to the eastward,
doomed conspicuously.
All hands prepared to-day for 30

looked as if the committee would send
the boats ON a rift to the eastward,
another to the southwest and boat to
the finish.
