Action on the Part Of Industry Now, Says Bethlehem Chairman NEW YORK, Oct. -A vigorous offensive by induM rkil America is necessary to smash Ihc notnii: depression, 'buries' Schwab, veteran chairman of t'v Rethlehem Steel corporation, t')Ul the American Iron ami Steel institute today.

In hH peculiarly optimistic manner.

Schwab expressed belief in the (Multiplied growth of the foiled States and his faith in the steel Industrv. HIS PREDICTIONS. He alluded, jovially, his predictions made a year before the institute. "I said at our last meeting that the tide was coining certainly as but. it proved to be a tidal wave." He explained failure of his' predictions at thai i mo to materialize as a result of the chaos in Europe.

In thts connection, he. said: "The hsson is that we can not longer Ignore the Sconomy of other countries. In other depressions we could forget about the hard times in other countries. Then we were a debtor nation, and largely self-sufficient. "Today we are a creditor nation and the 'prosperity 0f our international neighbors is necessary to our own- well-being.

We must declare a permanent moratorium on national Jingoes." In reviewing the collapse in Hiiro hp. Schwab found that "the cul minating blow to the finances of these countries has been the paternalistic measures, such as the dole, which have no place in our American life. We owe. it to our people to see that these vicious vieeono-niic practice do not gain a foothold in this country. We have abundant evidence of the ruinous effects of doles and subsidies and artificial stimulants." "The talk of another war has no place in the hearts of people anywhere.

There is discussion of a naval holiday. There are moves to reduce our own navy program. II that Is what our government deoiiif, wise. I can state that the steel in dustry will be the first to support the move. iusT.

of our companies have laxKi' facilities for building navy vessels and armament, facilities which would welcome more business; but the nation comes first, and we shall welcome any measure that fosters permanent peace. "The jftcps we must take toward Improvement are: A better financial structure, which is nnwMinder way: a liipiidat ion of exl ravaga In business including' prices, which has already taken place in most lines to an abnormal extent; ti reduction in 'he cost of government which is borne by Industry and the people: and a vigorous enterprising attitude on the party of industry." Schwab was particularly emphatic In his denunciation of waste In povernijiental operations, notably stato.l-lt.v and county units. In conclusion. said: "Our house Is in order. Keep up the selling campaigns, keep up the advertising, Improve your production methods.

Knee the riiffi-rulttes ut. ith courage, confidence, and knowledge thai we are on the upward path. Our industry ill do lis part. "Renie'mh'r this: as soon as our business and the business of the country to show an upward trend In profits, that will he the real beacon of prosperity II was so a century ago, it Is so today." Optimism was in the saddle at (he meeting. Comment by steel fnmnanv executives bore out the assertion of Schwab, that industry has found Its second wind, even though most of the gain noted was in that intangible sentiment rather than in the order of books.

HAS SKI2N WORST. Ituslness feeling, speakers believed, had been strengthened by President Hoover's confidence pro-pram und the consensus was that the steel industry, although still abnormally dull, had seen the woi'st. Eugene Grace, president of the Jiethlehem Sl.eel, said that while there had been no Improvement In actual business, sentiment whs "a little better-' and some con-miiners were taking more interest in their s'eel requirements. One of the most encouraging symptoms, he said, was the recent gain in commodity prices. Tom M.

(ilrtller, chairman of Republic Steel, saw signs of better conditions and believed the foundation was being laid for improvement in "It. Is my feeling," he asserted, "that the last months of the year will be relatively better than they Usually are." Lee Block, chairman of Inland fiteel. thought the declining trend in aolvitles was over since there were Indications of "a better feeling and more confidence." George M. Verity, chairman of American Rolling Mill company, expressed the view that a new basis for confidence was in the making. Lee Cohegan, vice president of Gulf States Steel, said sentiment in the south was somewhat more cheerful than in the north, although he did not expect any laj-ge upturn this fall.
