New York, Dec. 11. The existinc

al transition of industries retiming
to a normal basis from the speeding
up of production made necessary bv
the war, declared Charles M. Schwab.
chairman of the board of directors pf
the Bethlehem Steel corporation, in
an address.
"I want to go on record," he said,
as saying nothing could be healthi
er tor American business than for
the condition through which we tare
now passing. The more severe the
storm now, the quicker it-w'll be
over and the sooner we can emerge
into clear weather and shape our
course."
Commenting upon the status of
unemployed laborers, Air. Schwab
stated "that the great need of the
world, is to work hard ancf save."
- This, he said, applies to men of
means as well as working men.
Foreign trade depends oft the
power of business' men to think "in
ternationally," nVsaid, in advocat
ing the plan of trtSing in the good
faith and productivSfcpowcr of Eu
rope by sending taw, materials and
accepting in payment securities rep
resenting their producing activities.
"Never in our lifetime," he said,
"have the shelves of the world been
so bare. Our export trade hangs by
a slender thread. We are rapidly
getting into a position where the.
world owes us money and yet can
not pay it. '
"Ve are getting relieved of the
impurities in our business life. The
process is not completejyet.'but the
patient will in time be cured and
when he is cured the great body of
American business will emerge with
a vigor and energy the world has
never kpown before." , ;
V r. Schwab made a pica for,econ
cmyjn government, demanding "the
sane' degree of efficiency in govern
ment asw' require in private busi
ness." '

Gets Divorce.
His youthful appearance and the
four wedding' barfds he wore on his

the object of a dissertation on ithe
subject by the-young swain, based
on experience.

"Well, it's not. It's killing the

"A degree a day, just a little thing,
