More Production
Needed Economic Head
Tells Manufacturers

Now York. May 14-Increased and
stabilized production is the key to
national prosperity in the opinion of
speakers at the annual convention of
the National Association of Manu-
faCturers, today.
NJ. c. Rorty, president Of the Ma
tional Bureau of Economic Research,
declared that three years investiga-
ton of the present day economic
problems of the United States had
led the bureau to conclude that the
primary need is for increased produce
tivity.
An important proof Of this con-
clusiOn, he said. was the fact that.
even with an absolutely uniform dis
tribution of national income, the
total income per capita which was
1856 in 1918. is still too small to meet
the requirements of the standards of
living theoretically accepted.
The necessary relations between
wages and prices and the limitations
on profit sharing, in the absence of
increased productivity. Mr.. Rorty
said. was shown by the fact that the
survey showed that in the large and
highly organized industries, from 50
to 70 percent Of the net value pro-
duced was paid to labor, while only
2S to 81 percent was paid to capital
and management, including undis-
tributed surplus"
Mr.. Rorty declared that, while all
ordinary economic signs pointed to
the end of the business boom and the
beginning of depression, the great
care exercised by the average manu-
facturers and distributors against a
repetition of the troubleous times Of
1920 and 1921, pointed in the oppo-
site direction.
ut would be miracle" he said.
"if the present business cycle failed
to follow in some degree the course
Of others that have preceded it,"

les Of placer gold were reported late
last season is isolated by icefields. ac-
cording to reports brought back today
by aviators who sought to explore the
northern gold fields from the air. The
quest was unsuccessful, due to ice con-
ditionS, said to be the worst in the
ne rnory of the inhabitants.
A party headed by Major Cotton
made the hazardous trip north in two
airplanes. They left Botwood on the
cast coast of New Foundland, las
week and flew to Hawkesbury, on the
west coast. The next Jump was across
the s'.raits of Belle Isle to Cartwright.
half way up the Labrador coast. Here
the party learned that further pro-
gress was impossible under prevailing
conditions.
The gold discoveries reported last
fall were on streams and creeks in
northern Labrador little known to the
outside world. The air reconnaissance
was undertaken to map the territory.
Major Cotton said another attempt
would be made later.
