The American people have given the most tangible evidence of their unselfish interest in tiie economic recuperation of Russia, and tlds government would be most reluctant to abstain from any opportunity of helpfulness. “This government, however, Is unnbie to conclude that it can helpfully participate in the meetings at -The Hague, os this would appear to bo u continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same difficulties, if the attitude disclosed In tiie Russluu memorandum of May 11 remains unchanged. “The inescapable and ultimate question would appear to be the restoration of productivity In Russia, the essential conditions of which are still to be secured and must, In the nature of things, be provided within Russia herself. "" “While this government has believed that these conditions are reasonably clear, it lias always been ready to Join ' with the governments extending the present invitation in arranging for an inquiry by experts into the economic situation in Russia and tiie necessary remedies. Such nil inquiry would appropriately deal . with the economic prerequisites of that restoration of production in Russia without which there would appear to be iaeklng uny sound basis for credits. * "it should be added that this government la most willing to give serious attention to any proposals issuing from the Genoa conference, or any later conference, hut It regards the present suggestions, -ifi apparent response to the Russian memorandum of May .11, as lacking, in view of Tire terms of that memorandum, in the definiteness which would make possible tiie concurrence of this government in the “proposed plan.” The Inviting powers referred to in the cabled summary of tiie proposed plan are understood to lie Italy, Bel; glum, Great BrTtuln nnti Japan.

They could control the other half of the industry only by agreements and understandings with tiie so-called independent companies. "These agreements Arrived at through the medium of Gary dinners, worked well during the periods of prosperity, lint they were inconvenient and, like all gentlemen’s agreements, were apt to lie broken when in periods of depression there wns a scramble for business. “Today they arc proposing to bring tiie other half of the industry under one consolidated control, so that in future Instead of one rating through tiie medium of understandings to which there were a dozen or more parties they will be able to make firm and binding' contracts thVough the two great corporations which will dominate the Industry.; "Gary dinners will no longer,he necessary. instead, die heads of tiie two great corporations will be.able to sit down at a lunch table and without fear of detection, fix the price of .every pound of steel sold in the United States.” Senator La Follette quoted newspaper reports f 0 show that Kuhn.
