Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, predicted an unexpectedly quick end of the European war and declared that peace would bring about an unprecedented prosperity for the United States. Judge Gary said in part: \\ e are -approaching the. end of the war that is destroying and injuring life and property almost beyond human calculation. it may not be immediate, but it will be much sooner than expected by many, including some of those who are most actively participating. ‘ 1 he appalling and daily increasing losses in life and property to each of the belligerent nations cannot be long endured by any. Already there are signs of coming peace. "There w ill be provided a permanent tribunal of all international differences and the enforcement of its decrees by the nations not directly connected. "These results will be brought about by the masses of the people, ‘ Throughout our own land we are to have industrial peace, and as a consequence greater prosperity than ever before. “Success in business has again become popular. Those who attack or obstruct legitimate thrift will be given a seat upon the toboggan. “If I read aright the signs of the times, we may look forward with confidence to marked improvement in business results, perhaps not so soon or so rapid as we could wish, but as certain and as satisfactory as the disposition and the action of the majority permit.
