GOVERNMENT INFLUENCE
The 3ethlehem Steel Company
Is carrying on a widely advertised
campaign against the movement
nrw on toot by the United States
government to manufacture its
own arruoirr plate.
To date sevea circular letters
have reachel all newspapers of the
cuninrv calling their attention to
the fact that the corporation has
not chaigod excessive prices to tho
government.
Arguments are waged that th<s
necessary armour manufacturing
capacity for the needs of- the Unit
ed Sta es already exists. They as
sort that their facilities are al
ready at the disposal of the war
department. They then ask the
UUtition that since all these con
ditions exist if it would not be a
waste, when no economy can be
realiz d to spend government mon
ey to duplicate facilities! already
adequate.
It stems that the corporation is
Droving a case against themselves..
In their campaign literature they
are making a denial of utterances
w Uich are on record in the congres
sional documents. Whether or
not the government decides t;>
build i's own factory, we must all
agree that the shake has been bene
ficial, as to prove to large con
cerns, c<-eking to bottle the gov
ernment, ^at the United States
can .-lenffiate them from the field.
The feverish activity observed
■uri» g the greater part of the win
ter has somewhat subsided. Last
woek btu'.k clearings were only aboi
30 i-er cent ahead of last year,
nhile for months past the ratio of
increase has been in the neighbor
ho.- d of 50 per cent. This de
crease was laxgely due to dimin
ished speculative activity. In the
ordinary channels of commerce and
industry there are as yet no evi
dences, of slowing down although
theve is a marked development of
caution in making new ventures
the foir of overdoing having evi
dently restrained initiative. Rai -
road earnings at the end of March
were running about 20 per cent,
ahea-i of last year, the increase bo
lug d ie more to the expansion of
traffic than to higher rates. In
the East indusrtial activity cont'a
ues at high pressure. At the
We^t t a ore is no abatement of ac
tivi'y and conditions remain sat.s
factorv.
Kmpt* hours, empty hands, empiy
companions, empty • words aat
emp'y hearts draw evil spirits, as
a vacuum draws in air. To be oc
cup.^'l vith good is the best de
fence *i. ainst the inroads of evil.
Many a young man is utterly
