GARY HOLDS DOWN STEEL PRICES TO HELP CUT H. C.L

NEW YORK; April 20. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, informed the stockholders at the annual meeting in Ho boken Monday that the corporation was holding down the prices of its products because of the high cost of living. Referring to inquiries made by stockholders as to why in view of the great demand, the cost of production and prices received by other manufacturers, the prices of the corporation's products had not been raised above those fixed ' by agreement be tween the industrial board and steel manufacturers on March 21, 1919, he said: "It seems to us the problem 61 high cost of living i ,of convincing importance. When the increasing tendency is to insist upon payment of unreason, able sums for every commodity and for every service, so that the vicious whirl of advancement seems to be unending, we think there Is a moral obligation -on the part of every one to use all reasonable efforts' to check this carnival of greed and imposition, even at some sacrifice. "There is a growing discepancy between different individuals and interests. The man with a fixed Income Is more and more disadvantaged and he 13 helpless. He can not increase his income to meet the increased cost of living. Therefore, it should be the effort of nil to establish and maintain a reasonable basis of prices, certainly to prevent further increases; otherwise the government, from the standpoint of protection of a part of the public, must interfere." Keep3 General Price Down. The attitude of the corporation on prices, Mr. Gary added, "has had considerableinfluence in preventing increases in the general selling prices of steel, although some' (manufacturers) have made them, due, as they claim, to increased cost of manufacture "Moreover, it is believed that In view of all the conditions . prevailing, the felling prices of most of the diversified prbduet8of the corporation; for- the present a- least, are high enough, though it is pertinent to say that when the actual value of the properties and volume of business of the corporation are considered, the net return is at least moderate.".

Five Minutes with Our Presidents

By JAMES MORGAN

XIII. A FUGITIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

JAMES MADISON AT 82

BUT for the smiles of his blooming Dolly, Madison's adniinistra-j tion would be a desert without an oasis, over whose dreary expanse the weary biographer would wander athirst for human anecdote. Her bubbling spirits relieved the austerity of Jeffersonian simplicity and won her a popularity that has been equaled, if at ail, among the mistresses of the White House only by Mrs. Cleveland. The regal Dolly signalized the opening of her reign by holding the first inaugural ball, where she radiated in a gown of buff velvet, with a Parisian turban and bird of Paradise plumes which had run the British blockade on its journey to her from Paris. Washington Irving, who was whirled from New York to another of her functions in "only 52 hours," as he said in amazement, has left us a picture of her as a "fine, portly, buxom dame," with a smile and a pleasant word for everybody." But "as to Jemmy Madison ah, poor Jemmy! He is a withered little apple-John." Unless Grant must be excepted, Madison is the ory President who found the Presidency an anticlimax to his career. One of the really great law-givers of the Nation, he was without executive force, that is to say, without a knack for choosing other men and getting them to do his work. With a weak Cabinet, this gentle, sweet tempered, peace loving scholar found himself adrift on the turbid sea of the great Napoleonic wars. Perhaps it was no longer possible to keep us put of war when at last the United States was ' the only neutral left in the civilized .world. But certainly it was no time for a fair weather sailor. After 20 years of kicking and cuffing from both sides in the European conflict, bullied by England and lied to by Napoleon, the country was sore all over when the "warhawks" of Congress under the youthful Henry Clay, seized the tiller of the ship of state from Madison's irresolute hand and recklessly pointed the vessel straight into the teeth of the storm.

The seaboard East was more for peace and at that time the militant section j was the new West, where the Ten- i nesseeans and Kentuckians, Indianaians and Ohioans were lustily shouting "on to Canada!" Overborne by their rash counsels, Madison consented, as he said, to 'throw forward the flag of the country, sure that the people would press onward and defend it." i Without competent civilian military leaders, without financial credit, without war equipment, the people could not press onward, as any history of the dismal war of 1812 will tell you. Even the capital was left undefended, and Madison, "in a little round hat with a big cockade" ran about in helpless bewilderment as the British marched upon Washington. Wtih the invaders entering at one side of the defenseless town, the President fled at the other. As he

turned and saw the flames shooting up behind him. he flew the faster and the farther. While the British commander was blowing out candles on his dinner table that he might feast ir

President returned to view the char

red walls of his official residence and of the Capitol. At every turn he was

greeted by ugly mutterings of the gen

eral disposition to make him the

scapegoat for all the National shortcomings in a war that had been thrust upon him. But with victory at New Orleans and the return to peace, the voice of the faultfinder was drowned In the hum of sudden prosperity. . And

in the closing days of his administra

tion Madison was cheered by many as.

surances that his countrymen were

not forgetful of the 40 years that he had served them in pure devotion. Like John Adams, he emerged from his retirement to sit in the Constitutional Convention of his State, where the aged statesman closed his active public life, as he had opened it, with a sentiment of humanity for the slaves. His long service still was to be crowned by him in his 84th year, when South Carolina and her policy of nullification aroused the venerable father of the Constitution and drew from him a ringing challenge to the spirit of disunion. After his death there was found among his papers a solemn warnine for liic cnuntrv to lnok unon

the secret enemy of the Union as "the serpent creeping with his deadly wilea into paradise." '

As with the other Virginia farmer

and the threat of poverty hung over

his last years. After, he was gone, Montpelier waa swept away In the dissipations of his stepson, Mrs. Madison's only child, who betrayed his mother and left her without a roof

"Russia desires International trade relations; ' she regrets that the allies ever interferred with her 'personal troubles' believing she could have settled them better without -foreign aid. She Is very desirous of working out her own policies now." Mr. Welch came to some Interesting conclusions regarding Japan during his short stav thpr sfter leavinc

Russia. Although the military party Is "up and doing," there is a decided wave of feeling against its Ideas, he believes. The college men, merchants and others who see the fallacy in wars are decided against militaristic propaganda. Education is doing a great work among the people who have it, he thought, but pointed out that the old "step In time" education has taught mechanlcalism. Younger Japanese are getting away from it. "Japanese ere not used to new things. Those who are delightfully . polite in their homes will fight and scramble and act disgustingly on a 6treet car. Unchagrined and content, Japanese will undress to the very last garment and put on night dreBses on ordinary railway coaches. They have been trained to undress when they sleep, and place means nothing to them."

L.t. Col. Barre, recently appointed Special Trade Commissioner of Canada in France, has promised his Government's support for the Canadian section of the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris.
