! Of the city. Berlin teaches also that 1t Is
unnecessary for city to be In the midst
| Of the raw material field to develop as a
manufacturing center or to be a seaport to
| thrive in business. Compared with the Ger
| man capital Washington has an advantage
| in the matter Of water transportation to
| the sea. Berlins products must be carried
| through 100 miles Of canal and lake to
| reach the Elbe. and 200 miles thence down
| the Elbe to reach the sea. Goods travers-
| ing similar route from Washington would
| require transportation less than 200 miles
in all to reach the sea and by an easier
line of communication than the combined
lakes and canal which connect Berlin with
the EIbe. The communication between Ber-
lin and the Oder. on the east, Is shorter
but more complicated than that westward
to the Elbe. Nor has Berlin any advantage
In the matter Of access to raw materials
Abundant coal, iron ore and agricultural
products of all kinds lie just beyond the
local threshold here. Water communica-
ton with the mineral fields of Maryland and
Virginia and with the plantations of the
southern states ensures cheap hauling to
such mills as might be here established.
Rairoads-bind the capital with every state
in the union What Berlin has done Wash
| ington can surely do. This comparison be-
| tween the German and the American capt.
tails will doubtless be dwelt upon at to-
nights meeting Of citizens interested in the
project for the increase Of the Industrial
Importance of the District, which, 1t Is ex-
pected. will stimulate the enterprise Of the
Washingtonians and draw hither the in
vestments of capitalists seeking an ideal
place for the location Of light. Clean minor
manufactures, such as those which give
employment to thousands in Paris and
