Schwab's Corporation
Pays Dividend From
Surplus and Outlook.

New York, April 27.-Directors OF
the Bethlehem Steel corporation
Thursday declared the regular quarter
ly dividend of IA per cent on both
classes of the common stock, although
it was not earned.
This action virtually follows that of
the directors of the United States Steel
corporation, which failed to earn divi-
dends on either the common or pre-
ferred shares. Both corporations based
their action on the decided improve

President Eugene g. Grace, of the
Bethlehem corporation. declared in a
statement that Notwithstanding the
fact that dividend requirements were
not earned during the quarter, the

to the normal pre-war production.

place in the corporations coal supply,

Mr. Grace said there had been

While the powers Thursday were
preparing the details of document In
forming the soviet delegates what the
powers expected of them and what tbs
powers on their part were ready to dc
for Russia, the Russian delegates is
sued an open statement which peril
nently expressed their discomfort be-
cause they were not being kept in
formed of what the powers intended
TO do.
Their statement insisted that Russia
would protect her sovereign rights and
contended that she alone was following
the fundamental ideas of the Cannes
rsolutions touching the questions OF
reciprocity and economic reconstruc-
ton.
The text of the statement follows:
After the meeting of the experts
at which the Russian viewpoint on the
first seven articles of the London ex-
pertS report was presented in detail.
no news has come to us concerning the
attitude which the powers will pursue
Russia has not the least desire for a
rupture, but she is determined to safe
guard the principle of her sovereign
rights and the principle of reciprocity.
which is the only possible basis of a
community of peoples and economic re-
construction.
Such indeed, constitutes the funda-
mental idea of the Cannes resolutions
and we believe that it is Russia alone
which remains entirely faithful to the
Cannes resolutions in all their essen
tials.'
The document of the powers which
is to be handed to the Russian dele
gates was considered Thursday by
Premier Lloyd George Signor Schan-
ger, NJ. Barthou, NJ. Jaspar, and Baron
Hayashi at Mr.. Lloyd Georges villa.
