Congress Helps '
THE questions involved in bringing
about a satisfactory readjustment of
the industrial situation in this coun-
try are, Of course. fundamentally eco
nomic," remarked one member of the

tried and is still trying to produce
legislation which will assist in the

"The country Is going to recover

will recover far more rapidly if every

Scramble for Toys

before the ways and means committee

lection for the toy industry of Amer
lea. He said every time American
ingenuity turned out a new and ap-
pealing toy Japanese imitators dupli-
ca ted it and shipped over tons for sale
at a lower wholesale rate than Amer
lean factories, with their higher wage
scales, could make.
6r. Foote then exhibited to the
members Of the committee a huge box
of toys manufactured at his factory.
His argument finished, he said he had
no further use for the exhibits, where
upon the committee members engaged
in wild scramble for the toys. They
shucked off years like they used to
shuck off clothes at the old swimmin'
hole. When the rush was over there
was not a toy left in the box.
