Here is til greatest story that has
yet come out of Germany.
On Pulse of World.
John Penton of Cleveland, O., is
the millionaire publisher of THE
Iron Trade Review" "The Daily
Metal Trade" "The Foundry" THE
Marine Review" and similar tech
nical publications which go every
where. For their purposes, he is
bound to keep finger on the iron
and steel pulse of the world; and
for the last few months, he has been
studying industrial conditions in Eu-
rope. Recently, the news agencies
cabled his general appreciation.
But l met John Penton just as he
was coming out of Germany, where
he had met those German business
magnates, so prominent under the
empire, SO self-effacing under the
present republic, who are not getting
much space these days, because they
are deliberately silent. But they
talked to John Penton, and John
Penton talked to me.
Next to the agricultural stocks,
the worlds biggest thing is the iron
and steel industry, is it nct?" says
Penton. Well, four days before the
German government told the allies
that they would accept their ultima
tum, the director of one of the big
gest steel plants of Germany said to
me:
