New York. tret. 24Business con ditions during the next four venra de pend largely upon the result of the coming election, E. II. Gary, chair man of the United States Steel cor poration, declared in his presidential address to the American Iron and Steel institute today. "Every well-informed business man or woman,” he said, "knows that if the best men are elected there prob ably will be continued and increasing prosperity, and if others less capable and less worthy are selected we may expect depression and disturbances in business, less production, more idle ness, less comfort, more distress; a decided Interruption to legitimate progress that will not be easily nor soon overcome.” Mr. Gary said he was convinced the public had been right during the last few months in believing the election returns would be satisfactory, as shown by the steady and persistent Increases in the volume of business. With such a result, he added, the country could look forward through the autumn and succeeding months with hope and confidence. "Our ship of state Is too great, too fine, too solid, substantial and strong," he declared, “to be pronounced un seaworthy on the words of unscrupu lous, unintelligent or Inexperienced men, and then turned over to a board of underwriters." Outlining qualifications which he believed a president of the United States should possess. Mr. Gary said: "He should be willing to lend his Influence and devote his talents to legitimate business progress and gen eral prosperity, and likewise to pre vent, and penalize corruption ond wrong. He should endeavor to assist and to protect the poor, the weak and the suffering, and at the same time be willing to help the rich, the strong and the happy when it Is Indisputably right to do so."

Peace would have been impossible." “We disapprove of the Russian government,” he declared, "b u t America has held humanity higher than international laws." America in the last eight years has expended more than IIS,000,000,000 through var ous wartime and relief agencies in charities, donations and loans, Coolidge recalled. . "We might have taken the atU tude,’’ he continued, "that we had ^B completed our obligation to Europe the day the armistice was signed.
