Slow Returning,
Declares Garv
Head of Steel Corporation De
clares Public Not Buying
Enough to Supply Selves
With Comfort.
5 My The AsMtrlntrd Ire.
. Ni York, May .7. Full return
to satisfactory busirtss conditions
will be .slow until tlie minority of
business men an workmen who
have ignored tlie principles of com
niun i.oiK-sty ' arc aroused t the
necessity of soimrl. and decern stand
ards of conduct, according to Klbcrt
If. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation.
Speaking to lay before the Ameri
can and Steel iurtitute, of which he
k president. Mr. Gary said tlie
American people arc not buying
enough to supply themselves fully
with the ordinary comforts- of life,
although thev have the disposition
ami the means to do so. This, he I
Explained, was due to the opinion of
fjie purchasing public that there has
got been complete and propci read
justments of prices. ' -
'i Abundance of New Business. -
: "There is an abundance c new
business," he said, "with both ability
aud inclination to place it, waiting
for- further adjustments which will
put costs of living, selling prices,
;age rates and other general in
comes on a relative parity,
j.l "Patience, courage and a fair disposition-
will bring satisfactory con
ditions in due time." 1
' Present steel -lling prices, Mr,
ary declared, will not permit any re
duction until wages are further, de
creased. It would be unjust, he said,
tl further reduce wage rates before
tlie costs of living are lowered.
; Prices Still High.
? Retail prices for many commodities
are much too high, declared Mr.
jfary, adding that without justifica
tion workmen's wages have been ad
vanced through reclassification so as
Su designate them as skilled men.
4 "I think " he continued, "there has
Seen ana still is charged and collect
ed for certain commodities unreason
able and unfair, if not extortionate,
prices. They apply to particular lines
and persons.
a "The vast majority of business men
sfiul workmen arc sincere and fair, but
there is and perhaps always will be a
minority that ignore tho principles
of common honesty." v
He urged that the observance and
enforcement of law be insisted upon
throughout the world as a necessity
to the improvement of the general
situation.
The speaker asserted that one of
the most hopeful signs of the times
was the apparent disposition of the
present administration at Washing
ton to aid rather than obstruct the
tjatural and legitimate progress of
business. " '

Anarchy Would
Follow Lenine's
Fall Is Prophecy
Diplomatic Mission Heads De
clare Collapse of Bolshe
vism Would Now Bring
Forth United Russia.
By The Awoclalfd Treat.
Riga, May 27. Even were the
Russian bolshevik regime to Col
lapse immediately, the dream of a
new. united Russia ''s impossible of
realization for decades to come, in
the opinion of political students, gov
ernment officials and business men in
the three Baltic states, Esthonia, Lct
via and Lithuania, having diplomatic
missions at Moscow. All agree that
the fall of the regime headed by
Nikolai Leninc would be followed
by a long period of anarchy. " .
This opinion was expressed to the
correspondent by Prof. Piip, Estho
nia foreign minister. M. Schumann,
under secretary for foreign affairs
of the Letvian government; Dr. K.
Grinius, minister-president of LitlAia
nia, and dozens of other students
who are in a position to view the
Russian situation at close range, take
a similar view.
A. M. Martus. of New York, a
Lithuanian-American at the head of
the United Baltic organizations
which arc promoting a Baltic alliance,
recently returned from a month's
investigation in Moscow. He summed
up the situation by saying:
"Russians in America, Paris and
elsewhere who are still contending
a united Russia would be possible
immediately after the fall of bolshe
vism are chershing a vain dream. I
was just in Moscow. It would take
150 years to restore anything like
normal conditions in Russia. The
Baltic states are progressing while
inner Russia is deteriorating."
