D. C. ADVANTAGES STRESSED ON AIR John A. Eckert Paints Picture of Industrial Development Over WMAL. A glowing picture of Washington's present I.ndu!tf”\ll development and the expansion local manufactures are like- to undergo was painted by John A. ert, chairman of the committee on manufactures of the Washington Cham- ber 6f Comimeérce, in an addréss bri cast last night over Station WMAL. Mr. Eckert predicted the growth of Washington's population to the million mark, with sufficient industries to make the city self sustaining and provide em- ployment for all her citizens. Sight should not be lost, however, he declared, that Washington is the Capital of the Natfon and as such should remain the most beautiful city in the country. With this in mind, he said, extreme care should be exercised to prevent the in- troduction of objectional enterprises, so that a proper balance may be main- tainéd between the esthetic and the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The ever-grow- ing population of the city and its en- virons will undoubtedly reach 1,000,000 and establish a market proportionate thereto. “The need to develop industries to supply local consumption requirements and to provide employment grows with the iricrease in population. Intelligent- ly directed effort will reveal ways by which local productionn may be further accelerated, and this will be reflected in the eral prosperity. “It 18 the universal belief that Wash- ington is becoming with each passing year a more attractive place in which to live. This circumstance runs paral- lel with the phenomenal recent growth industrially; the Census Bureau figures showing & gain of only 4 per cent for the country at large, whereas the value of Washington products increased 24 per_cent.” Mr. Eckert told of the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to encourage in- dustries here, and the benefits in the way of education that result from its annual industrial exposition. - MAXWELLS| 415 7th St. N.W.
