Friend of the Allies, They honoured him, however, not because of his huge success, but because of the energy and enthus ins with which he came forward at a critical moment as one of the staunchest supporters of the Allies.
When H.M.S. Audacious WHIS sunk and people who saw it were not allowed to leave their ship, Mr. Schwab was the one man taken off, beenuse he was necessary to us and had come to help to do what he could.

The speaker then recalled how, when the United States was neutral, Mr. Schwab, came to England to discuss with the Admiralty the building of submarines. We had but a small fleet of 51, and It took 14 montha" to build a submarine. The Admiralty wanted submarines in the shortest possible time, and suggested that Mr. Schwab could get them built in, say, 12 months.
"Almost by magic," said Lord Reading, "within five-and-a-half months the batch of submarines was delivered. So efficient were they that they travelled from America straight to the Dardunelles without escort, and there they did most excellent work."
Millions and millions of shells were made for the Allies, and when monitors were being built and all the works in this country were too full up to make the great guns, the Bethlehem Steel Works and Mr. Schwab built and delivered them What Money Could Not Buy. Lord Reading further recalled how an agent of Germany offered almost any price provided no more assis- Lance was given by Mr. Schwab to the Allies. Someone commented that if Germany could pay the sun Great Britain could certainly do that and a little more. But Mr. Schwab himself put it another way. "There is no money in the world, that can buy my works at the pre-" sent moment," he said. "They are going to be devoted to helping the Allies right to the end."
"I am just completing my fiftieth yeur as a manufacturer of iron and steel in America," anid Mr. Schwab, in response to the assemb ly's toast. "I am the doyen of the American steel industry and I am a rich man. But of all the things that have come to me in life the acme of my long career has been the receiving of the Bessemer Medal."
Britain, he went on, was the mother of the steel industry. For all the great activity and opportuni- ty of American industry, the great precesses of iron and steel which had made the industry originated in Great Britain.
The Real Link.
The two countries were knit to gether strongly and deeply not merely sentimentally but actually, Some Englishmen saw America as a swaggering boastful nation, and some Americans thought the Eny- lish did not really like them to come across the Atlantic, but the relations of the two countries hud much deeper and sounder founda- tion than merely hearsay. They had to establish something more real than maudlin "Hands Across the' Sea" sentiments.
