COMMITTEE T0 We Buy Too Much From | VISIT OLYMPIA Northwest Product Textbook May Be Placed in Schools The Northwest Products committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Thursday accepted an Josephine Pres. of public ihyitation from Mrs. ton, superintendent state instruction, to hold its meeting next | Thursday in Olympia, The meeting will be for the purpose of a confer ence on placing in the publics chools ff the state the new Pacific North West Products textbook recently com: piled by Stephen 1, Miller, formerly ean of the department of business Administration in the University of Washington and recently appointed ‘educational director of the American Tnstitute of Banking. The textbook, dealing with. the in- dustries and products of the Pacific Northwest, is now on sale in the book Stores, and will be used as a textbook in the university, An abridged edi tion {s about completed, and this edi tion will be placed in all the Seattle schools by the Northwest committee oped that arrange. ments can made whereby the grade schoo} edition of the book may be placed in every pol In the state. ‘Phe compilation And distribution of this Northwest Products textbook is Delieved to be one of the greatest ac- complishments of the Northwest Products committee of the chamber, ‘and the effect of its use is expected | tobe far-reaching. It has been noted OM many occasions that the school ‘children of the e are more readily Tand enthusiastically interested in home products than is the general public as a whole. Placing such a book before them {s regarded ag not ‘only stimulating interest for the pres- ent, but as laying a firm foundation for the future development of the Whole industrial district.

Aug. 10.—-Mr, Bab. son was Interview ed today on the reason why certain mills and factories in the East are shutting down, He at once replied that our tremen. dous imports are in all probability the cause, An of the situation shows that these mills which are now shutting down for one or two lays a week are those miils which ave the keenest competition from Europe, There has been no shut- |downs of mills and factories which | BABSON examination | Jare not subject to European compe- | tition. follows “The other day my wife returned |from Boston where she had been to jdo some shopping, She had made |three purchases: Two dozen linen |towels, some individual salt contain ers, and an attractive penknife, the latter costing but 35 cents. She bought these things at good stores and without any special reference to ces. That is, she purchased what jshe wanted and did no ‘shopping around.’ “To our great surprise when open ing the packages, we found that each towel was labelled with a paper alt containers Made in Czechoslovakia,’ jthe knife came from England. At |first thought one would. conclude |that this was largely accidental, but jon studying the import figures the reason for this is very evident. | IMPORT INCREASE S EXCESSIVE ‘The import, for the first six months of 1923 were $2,095,663,049, compared with only $1,419,407,168 for | the first six months of 1922, and only $1,320.476,333 for the first six months of 1921. The first six months of 1914 {(before the great world war broke out) our imports were less than $1,- 000,000,000. “This means that altho our manufacturing capacity has been increased 30 per cent In the last 10 years and consequently our imports should normally decline, yet they are over double what they were before the war and al- most treble what they were at times during the war. “With the exception of automobiles and that and new bullding, purchases are not | people have not increased thelr pur: | chases In any such proportion as im: ports bave increased.

We must improve our efficiency while they must increase thelr pur chasing power “The fact that the business In- dex of the Babsonchart has dropped to 6 per cent below nor. mal is largely due to this import situation, which Is resulting in the gradual shutting down of our mills and factories, “Ot course, the American farmer ciency of labor also factors tn bringing down this index figure.
