Corporation arrived home today on
the France after about two months
abroad. having spent one week in
Spain. one week in Belgium. and
the remainder of the time in
France. When asked regarding his
plans for American assistance in
the rehabilitation of the French
steel industry he said there was no
developed plan so far as he knew
As to the report that the steel cor
pOration would finance shipments of
Spanish ore to French. furnaces he
said the question had not been
considered.
Relative TO the outlook for the
steel industry. the Judge said:
From my information. ! consider
the steel industry in a healthy con-
dition. although there has been a
noticeable diminution in volume
and also a decrease in prices. So
far as the corporation is concerned
conditions and prospects are salts
factory. AS to the effect of ad-
vance in freight rates on steel
prices. I have hopes that it will
not cause the corporation to ad-
vance prices. However, l am not
certain as yet, just what the effect
will be. Prices may be affected to
some extent. and rails may be
slightly advanced"

SCHWAB'S STATEMENT.

Loretto. Pa. Oct. 4.-Conditions
which make necessary a reduction
in prices in certain lines will make
for stability and normal operation
in the steel industry. Charles NJ
Schwab said here today.
The steel industry IS in a good
healthy state" Schwab said.
The conditions whsh make nee
essary a reduction in prices in Ger
tain lines and with certain compa-
nies, will also tend to lower costs
and increase production and will
make for stability and normal op-
erations.
The railroads of the country in
normal times and under normal con-
ditions consume about one-third of
all the steel produced. Railroads dur
ing the past five years have ordered
nothing like their usual amount and
this deficiency of the past five years
will have to be made up, which ad-
ded To the usual consumption, will
keep the steel business steady and
normal. These conditions apply to
building requirements and other
lines Of trade"
