Bethlehem President Tells
Bankers at Ban

NEW YORK. Jar. 1S.-Charies NJ,
SohWRb. chairman of h Bethlehem
Steel corporation, believes that the
grouping OF every steel company in
this country under one head would be
n good thing economically but IN y.
pressing this opinion at q banquet OF
state bankers last declared he was
not advocating Il "for many reasons"
which he did not elaborate.
He referred to the merger of the
DAckawHnna Steel company with the
Bethlehem Steel as an illustration OF
what economies would be effected in
overhead and other charges by com.
bined operation. In the two months
of this combined operation between
1000, 900 and 5 1,500,0oo had been
saved, he said.
He predicted that the United States
would be the workshop of he world
and that the outlook for industry
never was 80 good as at present
why should the banks discrimi-
nate against the Industrial securi-
tiesT" he asked. They are founded
on the ability and integrity Of thoaa
who manage the Industries: they are
founded on the future of the country.
An the money of the United States
government will not be enough to sup
port the industry Of the country in
the future.
The greatest economy that oar
come to this country IL doing business
or banking on the largest scale possi-
bic. I think the dea of the United
States Steel corporation. a. originated
with me, was an economic me-.
