PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY;
IMPORT LESS, SAYS BABSON

! this continues, 1t will ultimately re,
suit In unemployment In many lines
of industry and in many communities
OF course, IL we were increasing oui
exports as our imports increased, this
might solve the problem; but our ex-
ports have shown a steady decline
during the past four years. Although
we exported in 1920 goods to the
amount Of $8,22S.016,307. our total ex-
ports for the first six months of this
year were less than two billion dol
lars. This means that although our
manufacturing capacity is greater
and buying more from abroad than
ever before.
There is tendency among the
farmers to blame the administration
for this situation. Although the re-
cent congress may be to blame for
many things, 1t certainly is not to
blame for our present import situa-
ton. The recent congress enacted one
of the highest tariffs ever enacted in
history. and did all it could to pre-
vent this difficulty which the country

AS CHECK TO Crime
New York Judge Intimatss He
Will Impose Severe Penalties

New York. Aug. 10.--The prospect

Sing from seven to IL years after
| Wallace was convicted as one OF three
men who held up Joseph Schepp,
| treasurer OF the Pittman Trucking
company of 20 Front street and stole
payroll OF s4,77b.
Two years ago" Judge Mott said,
there was an epidemic of crimes of
this nature. Judges of this court at
that time checked that crime wave by
the imposition of heavy jail sentences
on men of your type.
Recently, according to- the news
papers, there has been a recurrence of
these crimes and they must be stop

II Wallace had not pleaded guilty
and given the name Of companion,
who is still fugitive, he would have
sentence, 10 to 20 years, Judge Mott
told him. Wallace is 26 and has liv-
ed at sol F1fty-sixth street. Brooklyn.
In the holdup of which Wallace was
convicted the robbers tried to get rid
of the victim by trying to make him
take ride on the subway, and they
even dropped nickel in the turn
stile, thus reducing by cents the
profits of the holdup, But to the SUBJ

really did not want to take that ride

/ Quoted Locally Only BY The Herald,.
Wellesley Hills. Mass. Aug. 10--Mr
Babson was interviewed today on the
reason why certain mills and factories
in the east are shutting down. He al
once replied that our tremendous i'm
ports are probably the cause. An ex-
animation of the situation shows that
these mills which are now shutting
! down for one or two days week are
those mills which have thefSkeenest
competition from Europe. There has
been no shut downs of mills and fac
tories which are not subject to Euro
pean competition. Mr.. Babson's state
ment Is as follows:
1.-THE other day my wife returned
from Boston where she had been to
do some shopping. She had made
three purchases: two dozen linen tow
els, some individual salt containers,
and an attractive pen knife, the lat
ter costing but IS cents. She bought
these things at good stores and with
out any special reference to prices.
That Is, she purchased what she want
ed and did no shopping around To
our great surprise when opening the
packages, we found that each towel
was labelled with a paper sticker
Made in Germany that the glass salt
containers were labelled Made in
Czecho- Slovakia,' and that the knife
came from England. At first thought
one would conclude that this was
largely accidental but on studying the
import figures the reason for this Is
very evident. 20
1.-THE imports for the first six
months of 1923 were $2,095,663,049
compared with only SLAB 07,768 for
the first six months of 1922. and only
1890, 476,3S3 for the first six months
Of 1921. The first six months of 1914
(before the great world war broke
out) our imports were less than one
billion dollars. This means that al
though our manufacturing capacity
has been increased 80 per cent in the
last ten years and consequently our
imports should normally decline, yet
they are over double what they were
before the war and almost treble what
they were at times during the war
With the exception of automobiles and
new building, purchases are not any
greater today than they have been in
most previous years;-that Is, people
have not increased their purchases in
any such proportion as imports have
increased. This therefore means that
we are buying today foreign made
goods in place Of American made
goods.
'Great imports from abroad must
result in less American made goods
being purchased and consequently In
the shutting down, part time at least,
