An important step toward the re
vival Of industry in America was made
last week when the United States
Steel corporation announced new
price list showing lower prices fo
steel. The cut ranges from $3.50 tc
50 a ton, and the price Of tin plat,
also was reduced $50 ton. The de
creases are confined to certain prod
ucts and, according to builders and
architects, are not in themselves suf
iicient to revive the building industry
but the cut does remove uncertainty
and establish a general stabilized price
level for steel and experts in the trade
say 1t should stimulate industry. The
first concrete result was the announce.

company Of n straight 10 per cent re.
duction on It's products in which steel
is the principal raw product used.

He wanted to talk, and the manager

He was assured that he could, and

Harding'S International Policy
Seems to Please All the
Republican Groups.
OUR RIGHTS SAFEGUARDED
Modified Knox Peace Resolution In
acknowledgements Fight Emer-
gency Tariff 5ill-CoIombian
Treaty Before the Senate
Strike of the British
Miners is Ended.
BY EDWARD W. PICkARO.

PRESIDENT Harding, in his program
for international relations as set forth
in his message to congress, has ac-
complished the remarkable feat Of
satisfying all factions in his party, if
the expressions of leaders in Washing
ton are TO be taken as representing
the opinions Of the people. The fore
cast Of this program, made week
ago, was not far astray. 1t contains,
however, plan for the acceptance of
such terms of the Versailles treaty as
confirm Americas rights and inter
eStS in other words, the ratification
of the treaty with such reservations
and notifications as will completely
cut out the League Of Nations cove
nant and secure our absolute free
dom from ENHANCEMENT in purely
European affairs. Just how the cove.
nant, so closely interviewer into the
fabric of the treaty, can be eliminated,
is not yet apparent. In Washington
it is said delegation might be sent
to Europe, or conference of the al
lies called in our national capital 1t
is also suggested that it may be nee
essary TO draw up a new treaty or
treaties to be signed by the United
States, the allies and Germany.
Any negotiations to this end, how
ever, are to await reconsideration by
the allies of their award of the Island
of zap to Japan and their formal ac-
acknowledgement Of Americas rights in
the disposition of all the territories
taken away from the central powers.
At first France replied to Secretary
Hughes note on zap by "A suggestion
that the question be settled by the
United States and Japan, and it is
believed Great Britain will propose
the same course offering its good Of
fees in behalf of the American claims.
Japan wants the controversy to be in
cluded. in the general negotiations to
settle all matters at issue between
this country and Japan. Neither of
these suggestions Is acceptable TO the
administration, and neither will be
considered. Mr.. Hughes position is
that the zap affair concerns the al
lies jointly and must be settled by
them jointly in negotiations with the
United States.
As was fOreseen, the President said
he favored the adoption of the Knox
resolution ending the state of war, but
with notifications. Accordingly it
was introduced in the senate, at once
with changes to suit, and plans were
made to push it through as soon as
the Colombian treaty is disposed of
AS IT stands, the resolution carefully
reserves all American rights acquired
by the war, the armistice and the Yer
sailles treaty but there Is no pro-
vision for the negotiation of separ-
ate peace treaty with Germany. The
instrument also declares the state of
war with Austria ended, but no one
here thinks much about Austria these
days, except in pity for its starving
poor.

France in case Of German aggression
or Of Germany's failure to pay, The
British are so occupied with their
great strike that they have not had
much to say about the message up
TO the time of writing.
An interesting bit of comment
comes from Buenos Aires, where a
leading paper sees only self-interest
in the future international policy Of
the United States.
THE egOiStic Independent national
ism which is proclaimed as the law of
international activity by the United
States is dominant in Mr.. Harding's
words" the newspaper declares
"Americanism and Monroeism, no
lions clear and concrete, which have
had their rise and fall since 1924, re-
appear with more vigor than ever in
the directing thought of the United
States"

Once more Premier Lloyd George
has been able, by super-juggling, to
avert economic disaster from Great
Britain. The strike of the miners
federation, which threatened to involve
nearly all the organized labor of the
United Kingdom, was called off by the
federation Friday evening Just how
this result was brought about is not
known at this writing, but apparently
it was due primariIYlto the action of
the railway men and transport work.
ers. These are the other two ele'
ments in the triple alliance and,
having been called ON for support by
the miners they had decided to quit
work Friday night. But Mr. Lloyd
George and other interchangeable per
sons worked ON them to change their
minds, and six hours before the hour
set for striking they announced that
they would not strike. The triple al.
lance was thus split, and the min.
ers must have seen that their cause
was hopeless.
Another reason for the change OF
attitude by the miners is seen in the
evident intention Of a large number
of members of the house of commons
to see that justice is done the work,
ers in the matter of wages. After
they had heard from the premier that
the miners refused to reopen negotia
inquiry into the matter.
Presumably the plan for regulation
of wages on a national basis, accepted
by the government some time ago, will
be put into effect. The national pool
ing of profits, also demanded by the
miners, was declared impossible by
the government.

Allusion is made above to the Col
ombian treaty This was the first
thing the senate tackled and a fight
developed at once. The pact is the
old one giving to Colombia S25OOOOOO

Zone 1t has always been bitterly OPP
posed as Il virtual Reputation Of the
acts of Theodore Roosevelt when he
was President, Tut now it has been
modified by the omission of any ex-
preston of the governments regret
for the part played by the United
States in connection with the Separa-
ton Of Panama from Colombia. Pres
,ident Harding has told the senate he
hopes it will ratify the treaty and II
probably will do so. Senator Lodge
led the debate in favor of the pact,
and revealed one Of the strong rea-
sons for its adoption-the existence
of rich oil fields In Colombia which
Americans wish to develop.
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota said
the ratification Of the treaty would be
pusillanmOuS act, and on the
strength of a telegram and letters
from Colonel Roosevelt, written in
1917, he declared it would make the
United States liable to international

millions of dollars. The telegram

combination measure including the
farmers tariff bill which Mr.. Wilson
vetoed, an anti-dumping bill and a
new provision for the regulation of
foreign exchange. The Democrats of
the house speedily organized their OPP
position to the measure under their
leader, Representative Kitchin of
North Carolina. Mr.. KitcIin charged
that the bill is not in the interest Of
the farmers Of the country, but is
really for the purpose of swelling the
already swollen fortunes of the trusts
