American business Is to have a per-
manent home at the Nations Capital
The Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States, a body founded eight
years ago under the handicap of dis
couraging past attempts to organize
business men nationally. has been un-
usually successful. But the leading
business men OF the country interested
in the Chamber OF Commerce have
realized that not until they have =
Washington home OF their own. O..
ii. .. OF American business, to give
the aspect OF material solidity to their
organization. will they be~able to ex-
ercise a proper constructive influence
in national affairs.
II was with this purpose in view
that the Chamber OF Commerce be-
gan plans in 1914 for the erection of
building in Washington, but the
war caused postponement. Commit
tees are now fast accumulating the
money to pay for this project. One
million four hundred thousand dol
lars was promised by small communi-
ties outside of New York and Chica-
go before the business men OF these
cities gave a cent. The idea is TO
create n nerve center for all bust
ness, big or little, that is affected by
national affairs.
This home for business means as
much to the small business man as
II does to the large concern. 1t will
provide for him the opportunity to
discuss his problems with men who
are familiar with all the requirements
of industrial production, domestic
distribution. foreign trade, transpor-
tation. finance. insurance and other
fundamental activities of business.
The United States was one of the
last countries to organize it's business
nationally. A little more than eight
years ago this country and Turkey
were virtually the only countries in
the world which had no national
business organization. Today the
United States Chamber of Commerce
is the most powerful of them all. In
the last Ave years it has grown from
an association OF 655 industrial and
commercial organizations with an
underlying membership of 2SS,321
firms and individuals to 1879 organi-
cations with a combined membership
Of 691, 1853. Besides these organiza-
tions there are more than $4,000
firms and individuals holding direct
membership in the chamber.

Aside from it's contributions to the

strong interest in the activities OF the

other trade and commercial organiza-
