q New York, Oct. 22.-Business pros
poets are unusually bright both In
the United States and abroad, Ebert
III. Gary, head of the United States
Steel Corporation, declared in an adj
dress before the American Iron and
Steel Institute here.
"Altho this is time for courage,
composure and caution" Mr.. Gary
said, ..the business skies are practl-
scaIly without clouds. AS always. there
may be showers from time to time,
but there is nothing in the atmos-
phere to indicate the approach OF
dangerous storms.
IF there should be a serious re-
action and depression" he contin-
led, which now seems improbable,
it will be the fault of those who are
connected with business operations
t,r others who. by reason OF off1clal
positions, improperly interfere, and
hot because of any fundamental de-
ficiencies in our resources and op-
Itortunities.
Prices Cutraseously High.
without referring to Individual
cases or lines OF general business
believe, in many instances, prices
have, been outrageously high. Ihls
observation applies more especially
I'd, middlemen, so called, and to small
3ler departments of industry. 1t also
includes employees in certain trades;
but it does not pertain, under present
conditions, to the masses OF work
men.
THE present tendency is toward
q lower. more reasonable and fairer
relative basis. The difficulty is found
IN the fact that every individual Is
perfectly willing that all others shall
make reductions-the larger the
better. Now general public, includ>
sIlg particularly those who are
ieither buyers nor sellers to any
srge extent, will bring about fair
md reasonable adjustment of prices.
The law of supply and demand will
be. the principal factor.
THE people of the United States
have reason for confidence in the
business future. They need not be
discouraged nor impatient"
France Recovering.
Speedy recovery of industry in
France and Belgium from the raw
ages OF war was predicted by Mr..
Gary. He described his recent trp
OVER the battlefield Of the two coun-
tries, expressing surprise that any
aIlpreciable progress toward re-
iabilitation had been made.
n a. * , Initiation was made possible
Mi. Gary said. by the spirit of the
French and Belgian people.
III think France has one Of the
be.t administrations she has ever
liatl,'' Air. Gary continued. "The pres
ident is strong, resourceful, honest,
and has the confidence of every one.
The cabinet is made up of good men.
We shall see great progress econom-
ically, financially and commercially
during the j. 9xt few years"
