NEW DRIVE AT TURKS
WORRIES FRANCE

worrying about what the British
plan to do in Turkey. It is admit
ted all around that the British are
approving the new Greek offensive.
about to begin, and will probably
help it. This does not please Paris
for several reasons.
In the first place, if the offensive
should succeed in crushing the
Turks the English would be supreme
in political influence in Turkey or
would divide it with the Greeks,
which would probably mean the same
thing. On the other hand, if Kemal
defeats the Greeks and chases them
out of Anatolia, he will have an
army flushed with victory to turn
against the French in Syria. The
French policy for the past year has
been to make bargain with Kemal
as being better business than stir
ring up another hornets nest among
the hills of Anatolia. France made
an agreement with the Angora gov
ernment which Angora has thrown
aside for the present, pending the
outcome of the military struggle
any outcome of which may mean
losses for the French in the ultimate
result
The French press continue to
shower advice upon London to the
effect that to bet on the Greeks
against Kemal will be like throwing
money into the Channel. The Temps
tonight warns Premier Lloyd George
that if the Greeks win Constantine
and not the British will rule the
straits; that if the Turks win Kemal
and not Lloyd George will control
the Dardanelles; whereas, if neither
wins the British government will
never get through spending money
on the Greek Army.

STEEL PRICE CUTS

obligations of the United States
Steel Corporation. as reported at
tons, indicating a decrease of 1862,
1877 tons during May, against de-
creases of 439,541 tons in April and
649,1O2 tons in March The lessen
ing decreases have indicated only a
slight increase in bookings, for the
reason that shipments have been de-
creasing. Shipments in May can be
capacity, against shipments at AZ
per cent in April and 80 per cent in
January. The May decrease in un-
filled obligations, 362,737 tons, rep
resented about 27 per cent of capac-
ity for the month. and with ship
ments at 3S per cent the net book
ings in the month are IL per cent.
Net bookings, similarly estimated,
were 10 per cent for April, for
March and "a for February.
Operating at 3S per cent the Steel
Corporation would require about
eleven months to produce a tonnage
equal to the untitled May tonnage.
Last January the corporation oper-
ated at 90 per cent and at the close
of the month had 7,573,164 tons of
untitled business. At a 90 per cent
operation the Steel Corporation
would require six months to make

Production Of steel ingots in May
was at the rate of about "a per cent

80 in April. There was a slight de-

production from April to May, but a
very considerable increase on the
part of the independents, due to the
