These the were questions asked and lu various answered by ways scores of the lead-in- s men in finance and industry from 4.1 nations, assem- bled In Washington for the sessions of the Inter national Chamber of Commerce. Silas II. Strawn of Chicago, newly elected president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, formally opened the meeting and Silas H. Strawn then Georges Theunls, former premier and retiring president of the International body, took the chair. The first address wns the speech of Prenideiit Hoover welcoming the delegates, and the Chief Executive seized the occasion to take another hard wallop at war and armaments. He said he believed the certain way to restore prosperity was to lighten the burden of national defense which is now costing the nations more than year and keeping nearly 5.000,000 men actively under arms. He urged the business men of the Ave continents to mobilize their influence upon their respective governments to join In the reduction of armament at the international conference to lie held next year under the auspices of the League of Nations. "Of nil proposals for the economic rehabilitation of the world," said Mr. Hoover, "I know of none which compares in necessity or Importance with the successful re sult of that conference." M. Theunis submitted a long and exhaustive report on world conditions, in the course of which he said : "I am personally convinced that the commercial policy and the customs tariff In force lit most of the countries of the world constitute one of the fundamental causes of our actual economic troubles. A liberal customs policy might be expected to lead to better business conditions." Melvin A. Trayler, prominent Chicago banker, electrified his hearers by a scorching attack on commercial leaders and government executives of America. "Ambition, cupidity and greed have dictated policies, and trouble has been the result," he declared. "It is a tragedy when In a world of plenty there should be so much poverty nnd when. In a nation that boasts of its riches, 5,000,000 or more persons willing to work should be unable to find employment. It Is a challenge to the world and especially to American business and political leadership." Mr. Traylor's attack began with a criticism of manufacturers who took advantage of technological and management Improvements to swell their output to a point far In excess of the possibilities of consumption. And he was equally severe in his characterization of the methods of bankers and of traders en the floors of the stock nnd grain exchanges. He urged that floor trading nnd small margin accounts be forbidden. TANK CORPORATION Oreaoa W.
