Full return to satisfactory business conditions will be slow until the minority of business men nntf- workmen who have ignored the prjnciptcs) of common honesty are aroused to the necessity of sound nnd decent standards of conduct, according to Elb&ft H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation. Speaking today before the American Iron nnd Steel Institute, Mr. Gary, who Ij president of the institute, said the American people are not buying enough to supply themselves fully with the ordinary comforts of life, although they have the disposition and the means to do so. This, he explained, was due to the opinion of the purchasing public that there has not been complete and proper readjustments of prices. "There is an abundance of new busi ness," he said, "with both ability and Inclination to place It, waiting for further adjustments .which will put costs of living, selling prices, wage rates and other general incomes on a relative parity. "Pntlcnce, courage nnd a fair dis position will bring satisfactory condi tions In due time." Says Wages Keep Steel Prices Up Present steel selling prices, Mr. Gory declared, will not permit any reduc tion until wages are. .further decreased. It would be unjust, he said, to further reduce wage rates before the costs of living are lowered. Retail prices for many commodities arc much too high, declared Mr. Gary, adding 'that without justification work men's wages have been ndvanced through reclassification so as to desig nate them as skilled men. "I think," he continued, "tbnt there have been and still nre charged and cqllccted for certain commodities un reasonable and unfair, if not extortion ate, prices. They apply to particular lines nnd persons. "The public Is awaro of the facts. Different products have been purchased from the farmer, manufacturer or oth ers at low costs and then passed on in one way or unotber and fmnlly sold to the consumer at outrageous prices. Finds Dishonest Minority "The vast majority of business men and workmen arc sincere and fair, but ).r In nml ncrhana always will be u minority that Ignore the principles of common honesty. They nre sufficient In number to seriously nffect the whole situation." ... , lie urged that the observance and enforcement of law be Insisted upon throughout the world ns a necessity to the Improvement oi me general miua- "If laws shall be enforced and peace maintained," added Mr. Gary, "ihe other questions relating to economic progress and achievement will be solved "If It should be deemed necessary nnd wise to have governmental super vision over organized Industry In order to protect the nubile interest I person ally, would not object, provided the laws anil rulfR shall apply alike to organized capital and organized labor."

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 27,1921 won DEWS I BENCH OWING 10 STORM OF PROTEST Senator Refuses, Delaware Chancellorship Following Charges of "Deal" HAND OF DU PONT SEEN -IN POLITICAL SCHEME Bveetal Dispatch to Jlvmtno Public Ledatr . Wilmington, May 27. United States Senator Jbsiah.O. Wolcott today de clined the office of Chancellor of Dela ware, thus throwing his judicial ambi tion overboard In the face of a political storm that swept this State. The tender of the office to Senator Wolcott, a Democrat, by Governor Wil liam D. Dcnney, a Republican, created a tense situation In Delaware politics, with General T. Coleman dit Pont seen In the foreground as striving for po litical control of Hm Commonwealth. Had -tho chancellorship been accepted, tle Senate vacancy thus created would have ibeen filled by Governor Denncy. It was believed he would have named cither General dii Pont or some one dictated by the General. Senator Wolcott's letter, declining the appointment, was dated at Wash ington yesterday and made clear the offer was refused because of the ad -J verse criticism aroused, lie said ne was impelled by .a desire not to 'afford the slightest cauqe for reflection on the office, the highest judicially, in the State. Senator Wolcott's act in declining the office which his father filled about twenty years ago 'caused almost as great a furore as the announcement of his appointment had aroused. Groups of Republicans and Demo crats who opposed the appointment from different motives regarded the affair ns a deal engineered by General du Pont, a carefully planned coup to weaken United States Senator L. noisier Ball's tightening grip on the State organiza tion. ' Sllt Began Last Year The political differences between General du Pont and Senator Ball had their roots in the Republican national convention last year. The imilti-mll-llonalre munition maker had his eyes on the presidency nnd had pledges from the Delaware delegation. But the delegates broke away an the first ballot, . smashing to flinders the fencrnl's hopes for the White 'House, 'olitical observers in this State, who hove watched Senator Ball's growing ascendancy, have been waiting for some monumental move oy the general. But when Governor Denncy an noun c ed the appointment of Senator Wol cott for the chancellorshin the reaction was so swift and decisive that cries of "a deal" were heard in all parts of th State. ' " "Swapping" of Jobs Seen Plans were progressing for a big mass meeting In this city and for n special meeting of the Delaware Bar Associa tion. Some opponents openly expressed their belief that tho appointment was simply the swapping of a Senate scat for the chancellorship with a twelve year tenure and a salary of $7500 n year. Senator Wolcott's letter to tho Gov ernor, which opens a new chapter in the stormy political history of Dclawure follows: "Washington, D. C. May 20. 1021. "Hon. William D.' Denney, Governor of Delaware, Dover, Dei. "My Dear Governor: "I hnve watched with consuming in terest the reaction to your announce ment of last Tuesday, in which you revealed to the public your proposed appointment for the judicial vacancy which will occur In the middle of next month. "I have been hearing from friends in Wilmington nnd have, of course, been rending the nevVspapers and have been gathering from every bource I could the sentiment of the public with respect particularly to the, suggestion of my own name for the office of chan cellor. "I nm thoroughly convinced In my own mind, and I nm sure you arc in yours, that there is nothing dishonor able or questionable in the proposal that I leave the Scnnte and go to the chancellorship. "If the thought had ever occurred to cither of us that the fair name of the State would be Injured by such an eventuality or that the good repute In which the bench of Delaware has al ways been held would be in the slightest impaired you, I nm sure, would never have proposed to appoint me to tho of fice and I um equally sure that I never would for a moment have seriously con sidered the acceptance of such nn ap pointment. , Hoped to Occupy Bench "You did mo n very high honor in announcing that you intended to appoint me to this place.

GILBERT fitnff C'orrrpondrnt KtrnliiK I'unllc Idgfi Copyright, till, bv Publlo I.tiloer Co. Washington. .Mnv 27. Tho difference of view bctuecii the Administration and the American bankers which developed In Wednesdny night's conference nt the Wihlto House is the' difference between people who take n partly political view of the 'world crvilt situation nnd people who tako a wlely financial view of it. Tho bankers hold to the opinion that the chief considerations in loaning monej abroad are the qunlity of security of fered nnd the rate of interest to be ob tained. The Administration is governed by other considc rations. The grentcst power internationally which this country hns is its control of credit.' All foreign bor rowers must turn here for relief. If the loaning of money abroad were under Government direction, as it was during the war, the Administration could ac complish almost any International end it has in view by the conditions which It could attach to the use of credit extend ed by it. Furthermore, the Administration is under political pressure from the agri cultural Interests which are now banded together " lever before in the history of tills country. The farmers, having nn enormous supply of wheal, cotton and other products upon their hiinds which tit Iipvv difficulty In financing, ore insistent thnt this country s con trol of credits should be used to make nn iiiimuilintr ind direct inurkct for American farm products. Protest From Fanners Two recent loans to foreign Wrowers brought the farmers' representative down upon the back of the Administra tion. TIiofc were an issue of Itelginu bond floated in New York nnd n simi lar issue of Danish bonds. The proceeds of thp Belginn bonds were largely used in the purchase of foodstuffs in Argen tine, nnd ilie DnnWi borrowings were Invcted in locomotives in Germany. Foodstuff, with the prevailing rate ot exchange and for other reasons, enn lie ltoiight cheaper in Argentine than in the I'iiit"d Stnte. Railroad supplies, for .dmilnr reasons, can be obtained cheaper in Germany thnn here. To the farmers' argument, the bank ers tontend that this is only u short view of the transaction, thnt the Amer ican money lent to Belgium nnd Den mark does rome back to this country and does stimulate the demnnd for Amorhan farm nnd manufactured prod ucts. Germany, it is said, having sold her locomotives, turns to this country for cotton and foodstuffs. Argentine having sold her whent. turns to this country for manufactured products, Ihe farmers, MM nlmost ever om - else hue their way In financial results that ht niilj indirect and demnnd tho ..I. .1. . f 1 1 1I..I direet buying of American products with American money lonned abroad. Would Control Use of Loans Secretaries Mellon and Hoover, who arc primarily Interested In this ques tion of international finance and trade, admit the general correctness f thc bankers' view of this class of transac tions, but hold that Amerlcnn industry can be better stimulated bj mnlntninlng control of the proceeds of American loans and not trusting to the benefits that spring from the roundabout proc esses of international trade. There is another side to the political purposes of the Administration, nnd that Is tlie international side. In a short time there will be $3,000 000,000 of German reparations bonds on the mar ket. France will hnve 51 per cent. France will turn to this mnrket for the disposition of these lonns. Great Brit ain, it is understood, has already tnken 0 position ngninst the sale of these bonds on foreign account Jn her mnr ket. Throe billion dollars is n great deal of money If France's 51 per cent is spent toward meeting the deficit between France s revenue and her budget, there will be a lessened pressure upon France for disarmament. This money raised in America isin he employed to defeat thc .merieau foreign pulley of disarma ment. Thnt Is only nn illustration. Hut Contlnurd on Thip KUhtrrn.

With statistics throwing the whlto light of fact on the present cross currents of foreign trade, Mr. Hammond showed that Germany is fighting hard to regain her old position in world trade, and thnt Japan is edging into the mnrkets of Central America nnd South America. Mr. Hammond, speaking in the crowded ballroom of the Bellevuo Stratford, aroused his hearers with the declaration thnt light is breaking through the clouds of business depres sion. The settlement of tho German reparations issue is having a stabilizing effect on Europe, he said. In calliue for action, national in scone and swift in execution, toward maintaining the place America gained I ,,u.r.In,? thc war Mr. Hammond said : We must get rid of tlie spirit of provincialism that was manifested throughout the country nt the begin ning of thc World War and again de velop thc unity of purpose stimulated by patriotic sentiment nfter America had become n participant In the grent conflict," Mr. Hammond declared. "We must realize clearly the interde pendence of thc industries of thp coun try ; that every class ami every Indi vidual in the community will be bene fited directly or indirectly in a greater or less, but always In a significant degree, through the increased general prosperity of the country resulting from the cxpnnsion of our overseas1 trade. "Only through the. appreciation of tills community of interest nnd the re sulting co-operation of all the peopla of thc Nation will it be possible to se cure thnt governmental action essential to overcome the disadvantages under which the citizens of the democratic form of government often suffer, com pared with the subjects of monarchies, in thc organization and mobilization of their national resources. "We have inclined too much, I think, in our individualism, to tho-theory of laissez-faire. With respect to foreign trndp our problems arc not like that oi thc other countries of thc world.

America Still Can Win In 101.T Mr. Hammond continued, the United States wns about abreast of Great Hritain and slightly ahead of Germany In export trade. America held this position, he said, in spite of thc fact that its efforts to extend foreign trade hnd been desultory.

It is possible for Americn, he added, to command all thc foreign markets required and all that can be developed In a healthy way. "We can bent our competitors if we will but protect our incomparable home mnrket, while developing on sound principles those foreign markets which offer a natural outlet for our surplus goods." Mr. Hnmmond pointed out that one important factor is that America has developed the greater part ot thc raw mnterials needed in industries here. "There must be nn internationalism in this phase of our economic policy," he continued. "The renl causu of our present business depression is the unstable economic equilibrium in Europe and there will be no radical change for the better until this condition is remedied.

Ik-caiiho of the present condition in Europe, Mr. Hammond said, it would not nwiil this country anything to re sume industrial activities to their ut most capacity.
