BONDS ARE Strong
/ IN ACTIVE MARKET.
Government Group Displays
Firm Upward Tendency.
Other Issues Gain.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, March l5:-Great
.buoyancy marked trading in the bond
market today. expressing the rehe1 over
the banking situation and the favor
able trend, since the market closed
March g. in the Governments credit
outlook. :.
Dealers in securities were aStonished
at the strength shown by nearly all
classes of bonds, including foreign
issues that might have been expected
to be unfavorably influenced by recent
political developments.
Obviously the most encouraging
movement was that in United States
Government bonds. In this group
there were gains ranging from "a to
3ia points. The rebound was sharpest
par on March 8, they sold before mid
day today at 103.20. The IS were up
1s4 points. the 3iss rose IL points
and the Treasury 4As advanced IA
points, all by midday. At the same
time the short term Treasury notes
were strong with the new issue OF nine
months 414S at premium OF q point.
High-grade corporation bonds were
well bought in spite OF the rise IN
money rates and the fear that the new
currency measure might produce cer-
tain amount of initiation. Atchinson
General As gained 234 points. Northern
Pacific As were up points, Union Pa
ctf1c As rose point and American Tele-
phone & Telegraph SIS advanced over
2 points In the first few hours.
Natural enough, the speculative bonds
showed the greatest amount OF recovery,
for there has been short interest In
some of them and the same motives
that would prompt buying of common
stocks would apply to them. Conse-
quently, this list, which included many
Of the low-priced rails and the second
and third grade public utilities, expert
enced the greatest degree Of advance In
enc day for months. The extreme gain
was in the active list was in American &,
Foreign Pawer SIS, which rose 6 points
Next to- this was the rise Of S points
in Denver & Rio Grande Western IS Of
1918. These had closed under IS on
March 3 and opened up to 20 today
Other large gains appeared in Ale
ghany Corporation IS, International
Telephone & Telegraph 412s, Columbia
Gas g. Electric S. Missouri Pacific SIS,
Works IS. Erie SIS, Baltimore & Ohio
452s, United States Rubber SIS, Inter-
borough Rapid Transit IS and United
Drug 5S. There was some reaction from
the maximum prices around midday.
1.-The foreign list was not without its
strong features. Conspicuous in this
department Of the market were all Of
the Japanese dollar loans. The Gov
ernment 512s and 6l2s rose from 21a to
4 points and City of Yokohama IS were
up points. Toxic Electric SIPS gained
4spoints. German government 5 12s rose
point, while the Is lost that amount.
There were good advances in Argentine
6s and in all of the Scandinavian dol
lar obligations, while Canadians were
steady.
In the outside markets the better
grades of municipal bonds responded to
the strength in Government paper,
while the unlisted public utilities were
generally strong.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Curb ex-
change stocks opened up from / to
points today. but lost some of their early
activity and strength around midday.
Some Of the leaders, like Electric
Bond & Share, Standard Oil of Indiana,
and Niagara Hudson Power, opened
several minutes late, but their initial
quotations were higher. Cities Service,
Atlas Corporation, Gulf Oil Of Pennsyl-
vania and Ford Motor, Ltd, likewise
moved forward.
Two types of securities were buoyant
from the start. They were the shares
of companies whose large inventories
might benefit from an upward move
ment in commodities and the issues OF
beer companies or those In allied in
dustries.
The early rise was sweetened by the
behavior of the sugar stocks, National
Sugar Refining OF New Jersey being
typical OF the group. The two swift
issues reflected recent rallying tenden.
cies in meat quotations. The initial
bulge Of silver futures, however, were
not transmitted to the silver mining
shares.
Heavy buying Of cotton goods, which
was accompanied by some upward price
revisions, was felt in the opening price
of Pepperell Manufacturing, which at
20 recorded a gain of 2Hs points,
Sherwin Williams, up 2la points, was
also helped by the advance Of raw COM

Chairman Taylor Says Firm Is in
Position to Take Advantage
Of Trade Upturn.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 15.-The 1882
pamphlet report of the United States
Steel Corporation, while disclosing the
worst years business in the history OF
the organization, indicated that the
decks had been cleared to take imme-
diate advantage Of any further better
ment in the industrial situation.
Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the
corporation, in submitting the report to
stockholders, said:
THE depression in industry which
has prevailed has intensified activities
in securing closer coordination and
consolidation of operations with result
ing economies which should be reflected
In relatively more satisfactory net in
come results upon improvement in busi-
ness"
As previously estimated the corpora
tion for the year suffered a deficit,
after payment Of preferred dividends
and other charges, Of $91, ,89l 1857. This
was comparable with a deficit in 1881
OF $49, ,165, ,485. Gross revenues Of the
company dropped to 1857, POI, ,7O5 in
1882 compared with S729, ,377, ,467 for the
previous year. Export shipments aggre-
gated $17,5S7 1858 against $40 0,207,2l0 in

British Surrender
6.755 Guns to Police

LONDON.-As a result of a novel
scheme Of disarmament proposed re-
Gently by Lord Trenchard, commissioner
Of metropolitan police, formidable ar
senal of all sorts of firearms has been

pons handed over to the police during

holders anxious to be rid of lethal wea-
pons for which they held no licenses,
many wartime rifles and grenades also
came to light
It has been the belief of the heads
Of the London and provincial police
forces that as a result of burglarieS
and housebreakings many revolverS
were stolen and then disposed of in the
underworld to bandit gangs.
So long as there was the prospect
of fine for possessing firearms without
license the householder owning a re-
volver, especially of wartime origin,
thought the best thing to do was to
hide the weapon and keep quiet about
it, despite frequent Nightmares over the
illegal harboring of piece of artillery.
Fully aware of the state of mind of
such lawabiding citizens, the metro
politan. police chief announced pc
riod of surrender, during which no ques-
tions would be asked or prosecutions
undertaken. Then the weapons quickly
emerged from hiding. Strangely
enough, q new machine gun was sur
rendered In a provincial city.

European governments to propaganda
against America.
We still have the sense of disillusion-
ment and somewhat of bewilderment.
Led by our enthusiastic and sentimer-
tai internationaliSts We have expert
mented with internationalism and have
been sadly disappointed. We have been
misunderstood and misrepresented. We
accomplished something at the London
Naval Conference Geneva so far has
been failure. The London Economic
Conference may set the fires of good
will burning more brightly. But the
grim fact remains that the vast major
ity of people in the United States feel
that they have been deserted by their
allies of the war; that their attempts
to improve world conditions have been
thwarted largely by these very allies;
that when sacrifice is demanded for the
common good it is America which is ex-
pected to make the sacrifice and it Is for
the others to reap the benefits.
All this is driving us back on our
selves. We see the vast problems of
the depression which must be solved
and are wondering whether the higher
duty does not lie in trying to solve our
own problems in our own way, whether
we may not actually attain greater
success and incidentally be of more use
to the world, if we forge ahead on our
own road.

Hitler's Demands and Fight on Jews
Unite European Nations Against Him

dertake any aggression against the
Reich, but every country adjoining the
Reich will multiply its means Of defense
and intensity its vigilance. In inter-
national conferences, nations whose
territories the NaZi regime claims will
stand together
Germany, to be sure. will not be the
only sufferer. On the contrary. the
whole process of economic reconstruc-
ton and political adjustment in Europe
must now wait upon one of two things
either the actual overthrow of the
NaN regime in the Reich or the far
reaching modification Of the nterna-
tional program which Hitler and his
followers have adopted But the funda-
mental mistake of Nazi calculation lies
in the assumption that because the
world must suffer through Germanys
plight it will be ready to meet Ger
man demands.
Demands Will Be Repulsed.
The truth is otherwise. On the con-
trary, the more violent German de-
mands become, the more completely
the Reich of Hitler will come to ap-
pear a common danger in the eyes OF
all peoples And consequently the more
firmly all German demands will be re-
pulsed What the Nazis have to learn
is that the rest Of the world. cannot be
frightened into the surrender OF It's
territories, populations or interests; that
concessions can conceivably be OBJ
tanned by a sane and moderate Ger
many, but only concerted and unyield-
ing opposition must await all appeals
to physical force or verbal violence.
No one will fail to recognize the
tragedy which underlies the present
situation-a tragedy in which German
suffering must be greatest. but world
wide loss must follow. Masters Of Ger

and his associates have brought 1t back

Of the war and abolished all the SYM

pie which was the slow fruit of the
wise craftsmanship Of Stresemann and
his policy Of reconciliation in accord
ance with the agreements OF Locarno.
The last time I saw Marshal Foch
was just after the Germans, by refusing
to lower the flag on their embassy in
Washington when Woodrow Wilson
died. had provoked wave of criticism
in this country. The great French SOL
dier said to me: "Ah. see the Ger
mans have made another blunder. Oh,
those German blunders, how much We
French owe to them-where would I
be now If it had not been for such
German mistakes?" In its way, the
German demand for the return Of the
old colonies now held by the British
was something graver than only one
more in the long series of mistakes,
since not impossibly it may prove to
have been the last straw which broke
the back of British patience and abol-
ished the final vestige of British SYM
pathy for those German wrongs which
were real and might have been righted.

South Africa Liberals
Win Sweeping Victory

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
South Africa, the land Of political sur
prises, has produced the strongest dem
ocratic government in the world as the
result Of last weeks general election.
There are $50 seats in the House OF
Assembly and the Hertzog-Smuts CO.
alition government secured all but IL.
The government actually secured ma
jority without q contest, 78 members
being returned unopposed. Nothing ap-
preaching this has ever happened un-
der the British parliamentary system
as used throughout the empire.
It is q big result in every way and
the public Of South Africa expects big
things. Broadly speaking, it expects
wholesale relief for hard-pressed farm
ers, substantial reduction Of taxation,
higher wages for all and a shorter
working week And If you ask people
exactly how all this is to be done, the
inevitable reply is: "Oh, tax the gold
mines"
The government Is prepared to tax
the gold mines and tax them heavily,
but it cannot tax them out Of existence.
It is estimated roughly that about
$50, 1000 900, or nearly two-thirds, OF
South Africa's total revenue, will come
from taxation Of the gold mines. The
strongest government In the world
would hardly dare go farther than that.

100000 Are Facing
Starvation in China

PEIPING - Reports reaching here
from Kansu province, in Chinas Far
West, state that roughly 2,000,0 900 peo-
pie there now are facing starvation, due
to prolonged drought, banditry, confis-
catory taxation and the absence Of
proper communications with the agen-
cies of relief elsewhere in China" Kan
su is the third largest province in
China, with an area of 125, ,483 square

1t is feared here that the Moslem
rebellion, meager reports of which state
that the entire province Of Sinkiang IN
Chinese Turkestan is now endangered,
may spread to Kansu, where there Is
large Mohammedan population. Such
apprehensions are confirmed by Mr.. Ma
Yuan-fung, an official of the govern
ment, who recently returned from the
province. In statement issued at Nam

as appalling" and said that thou

for reduction Of arms at the Geneva
Conference. The performance of the
Italian government has liquidated the
fears which greeted its formation.
1t Is unnecessary to review in any
detail our relations with our other as
sociates in the war. Every one knows
the revulsion of feeling against Japan
on account of her Manchurian adven-
ture. That question, however, is so
remote from the reasons for the change
of feeling toward Europe and has so
little relation to the war in which we
both participated that it merits totally
different treatment. So also is the
question of cur relations with Russia
Here we have not any series of disputes,
but a profound disagreement as to the
fundamental principle of government
and of life. This again has nothing to
do with the war except as the war
made possible the bolshevik experiment.
Disappointed by Treaty.
America was, on the whole, deeply
disappointed in the treaty of Versailles.
We felt both that 1t was unjust and
that In its terms were embedded the
seeds of future wars. Our enthusiasm
for the freedom of CZechs and Poles
cooled precipitately when we saw the
extent of their territorial demands, and
cooled even more as we recognized the
growth of a peculiarly selfish and ex-
treme nationalism. We saw them met
ing out to the minorities within their
unreal borders the same treatment to
which they themselves had been for
merly subjected.
If we realized at all the inevitable
ness of this movement, we deplored 1t
just the same. We had never felt
toward Austria and Hungary the same
bitterness that we had felt toward
their senior partner, our sympathy was
more quick to revive, and with it came
q curious dislike for the spoilsmen. We
were sorry for the Croats and the
Slovenes under the hard yoke Of the
Serbs; for the Hungarians Of Transyl-
vania under the corrupt and often
ignorant rule of the Rumanians.
It would be unfair to say that this
revulsion of feeling was just, but it was
fact. America had gone into the war
full of high spirit and generosity. II
came out of the war largely disillusioned
1t resented the lack of appreciation OF
what had been done, resented the grow
ing trade barriers which were the ma
tural results of becoming a creditor
nation. We often saw willful sights
and discrimination In what was the in
exorable working Of economic law. We
| were no more and possibly no less tc
blame than were our former allies. The
difference was that the American Gov
ernment never lent itself to propaganda
