INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK CHEERS THE CABINET Reports on Business Conditions as Submitted to Members Are Found Encouraging. Washington.—The cabinet discussed industrial tind financial conditions at length and there was a tendency on the part of the President's official family to look upon the situation as somewhat brighter. Reports reivived as to the readjustment oi the troubles of the railroads and of industries In general were in the main more favorable than for some time. While members refused to discuss tlie reports concerning the European situation, the Impression way permitted to get out that they were corapaentirely encouraging rather than depressing. One point which was emphasized ufter th" cabinet meeting wns that tbe administration would steer a course away from any action which might smack of paternalism. This is nut so easy a task us it might seem, it was said, as efforts were being made in many directions lo obtain governmental assistance for business In other wonts, to make the government responsible for almost every angle of relief. . It will be the purpose of the administration, however, to be helpful, but this aid can only he temporary. ■The railroad situation was a point of Intense interest In connection with the discussion of reconstruction. President Harding, It is stated, expressed satisfaction In the steps which already have been instltnied to bring about

tate readjustments.

One important point developed wns that the administration is not seeking to bring about a horizontal decrease in railroad rates. It Is seeking rather to have r« adjustments made on the commoditv basis. The feeling was expressed by some that this jmiIiu had not been sufficiently emphasized, and that the public knew little of the progress which actually had been made

In that direction.

The situation now, however, with prive levels dropping sharply on many commodities. Is a different one.
