Steel and Men

youngstown is just another Pitts
burgh-all steel.
Production is Of from 80 per cent
to IS per cent, but one would never
guess it from appearances.
This town is said to have the
highest wage scale in America.
The fact that women form but
small percentage of its popula-
ton is part of the explanation.
Women, in spite. of their new
freedom, their venturesomeness and
versatility, have never found much
of a place in steel.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-08-25
Explaining Market

There are various theories as to
why steel is of.
Some attribute 1t to a lowered
production of automobiles, some to
an overproduction of oil which has
lessened the demand for pipe lines,
some to a let-up in building and
some to an unexpected slackening
Of foreign markets.
Foreign markets have not turned
out as well as many thought they
would, mainly beci use many hoped
for too much.
1t was unreasonable that Europe
would continue TO buy as much steel
and other commodities from us as
she did during the war, yet business
has persisted in dancing to that
tune.

Causes Are Obvious

Very few Americans appear to
have foreseen the reaction that was
bound to set in. The slump in for
eign trade catches US wholly off
guard and the political antagonism
staggers us, yet both are the logical
results of obvious causes.
In the first place we made money
out of the war, while Europe lost.
In the second place we were in a
position to take things easy. while
Europe was compelled to work over
time by what she owed.
In the third place we claimed full
credit for the victory, though we
had few scars to show for it.
In the fourth place we adopted IN
attitude toward advanced political
opinions which made us appear the
most reactionary nation on earth.
Whether from an economic or po-
litical standpoint, the United States
has become common target for the
world 70 shoot at.
The American people do not
sense how cordially they have come
to be disliked. They know they are
not as black as they have been
painted, and they cannot believe
that they are as generally misun-
derstood as reports seem to in
dictate.

Press Battle

The United States has suffered
little from this prostitution of news
within its own territory, but it has
suffered Just as much as any other
country in the prostitution Of OUT
side news.
Government controlled news
services have not only given us a
partial and prejudiced picture of
what was going on out yonder, but
they have given their people a
partial and prejudiced picture of
what was going on here.
This is the condition which the
United Press is now fighting to over
come at Geneva.
What the United Press wants is
freedom and equality for all news
services.
1t wants this not only as a
matter of justice to the people OF
each of the thirty-seven. countries
which it serves, but as matter of
iustce TO all people from an inter-
na9 1nal standpoint. N

for the products of foreign countries. Here is my
scheme:
I. The development OF communications system.

(b) 100000 miles of surfaced roads
Co Improvement of existing canals.
Cd Construction of new canals
(e) Flood control.
% Construction of telegraph, telephone
and radio systems
II. Commercial harbor development.
(a) The construction of three harbors the
equal of the New York harbor--one
in north, one in central and one in
south China.
(b) The establishment of various smaller
harbors.
(c) Dock construction along navigable
rivers
III Modernize Chinese cities including the con-
struction of public utilities wherever needed
w. Water power development.
v. Iron, steel and cement works on a scale large
enough to supply above needs.
VI. Mineral development.
VII. Agricultural development.
VIII. Irrigation projects on the largest scale in

"If the above program can be carried out gradually
China will not be merely a desirable dumping
ground for foreign goods, but actually will be an
economic ocean capable of absorbing all the surplus
capital as quickly as the industrial nations pro-
duce It,
China with 4,289OoO square miles, population
of 400O0OO00 people and the richest mineral and
agricultural resources in the world is now a prey

"Uness the Chinese question be settled peace
fully, another world greater and more terrible
than the last will be inevitable To settle 1t sug
gest China's development along the above lines, With
all the great nations of the world participating In
cooperation with the Chinese"
Such was the plan of Sun Yat-sen, Chinas George
Washington outlined for this newspapers foreign
editor in Canton six years ago and autographed by
Sun to show its authenticity.

how little sense there is in the talk about COM

is put into practice.
Why did Suns enemies move heaven and earth
to discredit him?
Have a second look at his program. The Chinese
development of Manchuria and Mongolia would re-
move plum which Japan hopes one day to pluck.
The development of Thibet, Chinese Turkestan etc,
and the building of great Chinese ports would hit
Britain and Brtans vast port Of Hongkong and so
America however, has every reason to hope for
a Chinese awakening. Think of the machinery, auto

the program had been carried out.

full handling of the influence of the
kirk and the woods upon the minds
of the people that causes one to
consider Buchan master at this
sort of writing.
The people of Woodille in long
years after the strange goings on,
still maintain that the fairies and
maybe the devil kidnapped the
young pastor of the kirk.
And those who are looking for a
love romance will find the pastor
engaged in one of the sweetest and
most unusual love affairs ever put
in print.

Although Republican leadership in Indiana has
been exposed and repudiated by public opinion, the
party still marking time doing nothing to clean up
the situation which has brought it into
Ridi70 i'll repute.
Not in a generation has there been
~ greater need for clean. virie, progress
Fall sive leadership in the Republican party
of Indiana than at the present time
The situation challenges the attention of men
whose records are clear and whose motives are pure
Only men who can command the confidence and es-
tenn of honest citizens can hope to lead the Re-
publican party of Indiana out of the mess into which
weak and selfish leadership has brought it.
Unless such leadership develops the Republican
party is riding to its most ignominious fall. 1t is
doubtful if even Republican landslide in the Nation
could save the State ticket from disaster at the next
election unless there is complete house cleaning OF
the party's leadership all the way down the line.
The situation offers remarkable opportunity for
a group of young men with zeal for politics and 9
passion for constructive pubic service.

Misunderstood

The point is Of course, that we
Americans misunderstood other
people just about as badly as other
people misunderstood us.
Indeed, failure OH the part of
various peoples to understand each
other is mainly responsible for the
present situation.
Colored news, subsidized press
service and official propaganda
have had much to do with creating
self satisfied, but woefully mis-
taken public opinion in all countries.
Each nation has been schooled to
believe that it was not only a little
better, but little better off than
it's neighbors. and when anything
occurred to blur the rosy picture,
it has been that its neighbors were
responsible.
