rbe severe pressure OF competition upon
Industrial enterprise in every quarter Of the
globe is strongly emphaaiaei In an ADDRESS
lately delivered by the Hon. Swito smith
member Of the late royal commission on
technical Instruction. ct the oluaeurn In
stitute England. Mr.. Smith, who u
wealthy manufacturer. and is also largely
interested in the Land Mortgage bank OF
Texas. discussed from negative standpoint
the proposal OF the labor leaders Of Enslnn
10 adopt u compulsory eight hour day The
most interesting feature Of tho address to an
American relates 70 the decline In the trade
OF England which Ar. smith declared would
become more and more acute British
manufacturers were Handicapped by the pro-
posed limitation Of hours. This description
Of the status Of the little island nation Is
graphic and suggestive.
"There never has been a nation IN such
an artificial position as ours. we are LYING

Up imported raw materials, Last year our
imports were valued at s.. poQmq,Vopi and We

In support Of these statements Mr.. Smith
