TIIE MORNIXQ. OREGOXIAX. SATT7RDAT, NOVEMBER 19, 1921 PACT AGAINST WARS IS URGED BY GARY 1 : . Steel Business Is Declared of No Consideration. EFFECT IS HELD SMALL American Delegates and Ilurding Working Hard to Bring About 5 Agreement, Institute Is Told. NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Negotiation of a treaty which would prevent tuture wars wag urged, In conjunc tion with an agreement to limit navies, by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States .Vei'i corporation, in an address to day before the American Iron and Steel institute, of which he is presi dent. He also belittled the .sugges tion that armament limitation would reduce the manufacture of steel, say ing the thought was unworthy of even a passing notice. Business was Improving-he said, but there must be further adjustments. "With an agreement for the llmlta tion of capital ships," he said, "it would not seem to be practical to top with less than a final treaty wnion will prevent future wars. In addition to what is contemplated by the limitation of -Armament, there nouid, with other things, be an un demanding that if any international differences arose no resort to mili tary force should be permitted until after there has been a conference and full discussion by all nations now participating in the delibera tions at Washington. . "President Harding and the four elected, able and experienced rep . resentatlves of this country will en ergetically and persistently strive for an agreement. "The benefit which would be de rived by reason of all the nations liv ing under peaceful conditions, as com pared with military conflicts, are be yond calculation," he said. "If means for the firm establishment and main tenance of peace can be found and generally assented to, it will mark an epoch of the greatest business prosperity, as well as the largest measure of happiness; that the world hae ever witnessed. We should be thankful that this conference hae been called." i Failure of the conference, he said, was unthinkable. An adverse out come would be Intolerable and those responsible for it would be repudi ated and everlastingly condemned. a Mr. Gary said it seemed to be gen erally conceded that business condi tions throughout the country for the last six months had been steadily, if slowly, growing better. The volume of business in the eteel Industry had more than doubled in the last 90 days, he said, though profits had been little or nothing, due to hlgn costs and low prices. Of the country's business out look, he said: i "Even though we now have passed the most critical period in our re covery, I still think we would not be warranted In concluding we have ar rived at the point where we can with certainty predict the exact time when there will be a return to. a normal financial, commercial and Industrial basis, for the world's economic struc ture has been terribly shaken by ad verse winds during the last few years. There must be further ad justment. ; "The delay In complete restoration of a sound and satisfactory economic development and activity in this country is largely due to high costs high costs of living, high costs of production and transportation and high costs of owning and earning money or its equivalent." FOCH IS GtlCST AT DINNER Charles M. Schwab Says Iron and j Steel Industry Wants Peace. 1 NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Emphatic assurance that the iron and steel man ufacturers of the United States are solidly aligned with delegates to the arms conference in their efforts to end wars was given by Charles M. Schwab, in an address tonight at the Sinner of American Iron and Steel institute in honor of Marshal Foch. ; After paying high tribute to the marshal and telling him that in the language of the greatest of poets, he had been "grappled to our souls with hoops of steel," Mr. Schwab, who la head of the Bethlehem Steel corpora tion, said: "I would like to take advantage of this occasion to say something which has long been upon my heart, and which at this significant moment, it is clearly my duty to eay. "It was stated at some of the ses sions of the recent league of nations meeting in Geneva it has often been carelessly suggested in the press that the flame of war is in great measure kept alive by those 'nter ested In the private building of naval ships and the manufacture of muni tions of war. I can, of course, speak only for myself, but I believe I know and express the sentiments of others placed in similar positions to mine when I say this: "I am at the head of the largest war materials manufacturing works in the world. The shipyards of my company build more naval ships than are built In any other yards tinder one management In the United States. But I have been thrilled be yond expression, as has every good American, by that brilliant and states manlike scheme laid before the con ference at Washington by Secretary Hughes. The carrying out of that plan may evolve great monetary loss In some quarters, but such a thing as financial loss can be of no consid eration when compared to the Ines timable boon to mankind which would be involved 'n the realization of that magnificent plan." Mr. .Schwab declared that should the statesmen now assembled In 'Washington find It possible to bring About disarmament and permanent peace, gladly would he see "the war-killing machinery of the Bethle hem Steel corporation sunk to the bottom of the ocean, t "Nothing could contribute more to the ultimate and permanent prosper ity and happiness of the world," he added, "than the conclusion of agree ments between the great nations of the world which would eliminate war and the causes of war and so let us eay to the men gathered at Washing ton, let it go out from this group of men of the steel and iron industry, that we are solidly behind every ef fort that they can make which will liasten the coming of the time when war ehall be no more."1 FAIR TO LURE SETTLERS Ex-Business Man of Spokane. Sees Opportunity for Oregon. i Oregon has Its opportunity to at tract the, thousands of new settlers by the holding of the 1925 exposition, Robert A. Hopkins, former business man of Spokane, who -has recently moved to Portland, declared yester day. "Out of the millions who will surely come to the exposition, there will be thousands who will come to stay," he predicted. "Your virgin soil, with its wonderful fertility, your cities with their splendid opportunities, your riv ers and waterways only partly devel oped and utilized, together with your natural resources barely scratched, all appeal to the one who is looking for a new home." .Mr. Hopkins declared that the idea of raising the necessary money through taxation was a splendid one. "It is not that you have too much money raised by taxation; it Is the fact that you lack numerical strength to bear the burden. And I know of co surer way to get this help than to say to the world through the medium of the exposition, 'Come!' They will come and I dare say hundreds of thousands of them will remain."
