Prizer's Chicago Speech

Hoover, in review Of the economic
conditions in Europe, made pubilc
yererday. takes the position that the
gloomy pictures presented by some
observers were overdrawn. IL would
seem that no has mad his attention
called to the very gloomy statements
4 made by Edward Prlzer a. the Chi
cago meeting or the American Pc
troleum Institute because his re-.
marks seem aimed directly toward
refuting what Mr.. Prizer said on thai
occasion
Mr. Hoover admits that recovery
Is necessarily SLOW. and fraught with
danger. but contends that Outside
Of the government finances OF q linn
tied number os states, the outlook
Is very encouraging"
There are bright prospects of
limitations in naval armaments, :"
Mr. Hoover said. Agreed limita-
tions in land armaments are not
very hopeful, but the economic pres.
sure Of taxes and unbalanced budg-
cts are slowly disarming Europe and
Il will disarm more OF them yet
The number OF men under arms has
decreased by fully n million in the
past ~ months" The above Is
from a column article in the New
York Times OF December IL and T.
reputed to have excited the greatest
interest everywhere.
Capt. j. f. Lucey, who Is here, has
been an intimate friend of Herbert
c. Hoover since years before tho.
war and says of him that he "is the
Nv.AW l.
world, and has the greatest con
men IN the world" Captain I.ucev
was called into conference at tho
time when II was first proposed TO
feed the suffering people OF Bel
GUM, and on account OF his vas
business connections. was immedi.
ately put on the front and was Her
bert Hoover's first lieutenant and
had actual charge of the relief work
In Belgium, and this at a great sac.
rifice and without having any of thc
glory which naturally reverted 10
Mr.. Hoover himself.
Captain Lucey is now and has
been member of the board of d.
rectors OF all the various relief com
miitees, and is member of the
board OF directors of the American.
Russian Chamber OF Commerce and
Is still In close touch with all the
countries which have been at war.
and is strongly OF the opinion that
Herbert Hoover. in his interview
given out yesterday. knows exactly
what he is talking about, and that
things are quieting down in Europe
and are slowly but surely getting
back to "a safe position in world
affairs.
As showing that Captain Lucey ls
man OF the greatest influence and
is a man of affairs, whose counsel
and good Judgment Is recognized
everywhere, the following letter from
William G. Redfield. president OF the
American Russian Chamber OF Com
merce, is herewith given. II Is pub
lished at the earnest request OF the
writer, who found IL difficult to
overcome Captain Lucey's aversion

from the captain suggesting that the
government donate out OF surplus
medicines and used clothing sup
piles 10 Russia, where at least half
Of the children are going barefoot
