keen interest in the great national
gathering OF business men to be
held at Atlantic City the last of Ap-

ways of increasing production In

lies towards sterilization Of bust.
ness and price conditions.
Representative Of the local
chamber named to attend the con.
vention are: Mr.. Francis r. Lowell
and Mr.. ]. r. Poland.
Lack of production. business men
point out. is one OF the primary
causes of high prices. Small hope
is held out for a reduction In the
high cost of living until more
goods are manufactured and put on
the market. Prices have been fore
ed up by competitive bidding.
Even with the exchange situation
as it is, threatening reductions in
exports to Europe. manufacturers
generally believe 1t will be a long
time before production In the Unit
ed States oyertakes the demand for
goods. In the meantime producers
are faced not only with the task of
meeting current demands but also
with that OF making up in many d.
rections for production lost as re-
