Barnes Seeks Close Con.
tact of Industry With
Legislation.

Work on the new s2.5O0.O .O0O home
of the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United states will be begun imme-
diately. 1t is planned to complete
the structure within twelve months
time. Already buildings which oc-
cupied the site, including the old
home of Daniel Webster. have been
razed TO make room for the new
headquarters. At the present time
the offices of the National Chamber
are located in the Mills Building.
The idea of the new building
writes Julius II. Barnes. president
of the National Chamber. lis to es-
tablish a national home for COM
merce and industry in the seat of
leg station and administration. The
policies of the government affect in
dustry today as never before. In
duHtry recognizes that on the large
scale OF modern business a proper
measure of regulation in the public
interest may he necessary in the
very preservation of fair play be-
tween individuals. But industry
also recognizes that the chain of
economic evils wich flow from un-
wise legislation and unenlightened
administration reaches inevitably to
unemployment and distress in every
home.
Seeks Dignity.
"As fair-minded men, seeking to
work out the proper relation or
government and industry, a relation
Nd
late rather than depress and stifle
enterprise, we want contact with
fair-minded men who write our
laws and who administer them. be-
lieving that accurate and exact in
formation collected in all channels
of trade and focused through the
National Chamber will be well
coined.
This home for business means
much to the small business man. as
1t will provide him the contacts
with other men familiar with the
requirements of industrial produc-
ton. distribution. transportation.
finance insurance. foreign trade
and other fundamentals of busi-
ness.
I'VE hope in its exterior appear
ance this building will typify the
dignity and stability of American
industry. We hope in its interior
atmo sphere it will exemplify the
self-respect and fair play of COM
petitive industry with an added hos
pitality of its own"

There will be an artistiCally de-

of the main building and will have

enough to allow the additions of

mately sixty by sixty. and will

The Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States intends TO occupy the
entire building and no offices will
be rented. The building is not, how
ever, exclusively for the use of Of
