Great Britain. Italy, Japan and- Rus sia, as well as the Imperial German Government, as to what course wss expedient for the protection of th common Interests. From these ex changes It has been quite clear that all the powers concerned were as one in regard to th wisdom of maintain ing th policy of concerted action in the circumstances. "This unanimity of view found con crete expression in the Identical nots presented by the representatives of France, Great Britain. Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States simul taneously to th peace commissioners at Shanghai on December 29. as well aa In th co-operative measures taken for th protection of their common In terests throughout China. "if, however, contrary to all expec tations, any further steps should prove necessary, this Oove.nment IS firm In the conviction that the policy of con certed action after full consultation by the powers should, and would, be maintained in order to exclude from th beginning all possible misunder standings. "Moreover, this Government has felt It to be a corollary of the policy of strict neutrality hitherto pursued by common accord with respect to loans to China, to look with disfavor upon loans by tts nationals unless assured that the loans would be of neutral ef fect as between the contending fac tions, as It also has felt that the pres ent was an occasion where there might be Invoked, with peculiar appropriate ness, the principle of the lending Gov ernments deterring their nationals from making loans not approved as to their broad policy by their own governments In consultation with th other Inter ested .powers.

CHINESE IRON IMPORTED Expert Teclare That Present Duty 1m Necessary to Success of In-duery--SeTen-Day Working Week I Defended. WASHIXGTOX. Feb. I. Charls.M. Rchawab. ex-presldent of th United States Steel Corporation, speaking be fore the Senate finance committee to day, said serious consequences would fellow a reduction In the steel tariff. He attacked the Underwood bill. "On many occasions I have said that with equal conditions steel could be made as cheaply In the United States as In any other country," said Schwab. "This has been construed Into a state ment that steel Is made as cheaply here as elsewhere. That I have not said and I don't say." "With the same conditions, especially with labor as cheap, we ask no protec tion, but the labor account weighs heavily against us. Though we are only 100 miles from New York. It costs as much to put our steel there as it does to bring It from Holland. , Present Rales Xeeded. "I consider the present tariff rates necessary to prosperity of the steel business. Most emphatically I am op posed to any reduction." Schwab said that without protection he would want no financial interest In the steel buslnesK. and would regard as wasted the $35,000,000 which recently had been Invested In his business. "After all my work and the invest ment of my fortune, I have never taken a penny out of the industry and have never pa,M a dividend, and if the pro posed tariff is to be the law, I repeat that I shall 'cash In,' " said Schwab, In closing hla general statement. Schwab admitted he got less for the steel exported than for that sold here. "At times we even sell abroad at a loss," he said, "because the average cost of a large production Is less than that of a small production; It is neces sary to maintain the output to keep th machines going all the time." Chinese Iron Imported. Schwab said pig-iron could be mad In China for $7.50 a ton and that he waa importing iron from China for his Ban FranclBco works rather than ship from Bethlehem, Fa. Steel rails cost In this country from 2l to 23 a ton and In Germany about 113 or $19. Schwab defended the seven days a week work In the steel Industry, saying It was the system throughout the world and that a change could not be made by any one manufacturer. He agreed with members of the com mittee that there should be a change, and expressed Interest In an experi ment now In progress to that end. James J.
