tee and the technical staff sat hour after hour and day after day Rt the acress-the-table question and answer discussion with the officials of the sev- eral New England railroads, Az an illustration of the amount of time spent and the theroushness Of the study, ! may say, that the esamina- ton of the 1t officers of the New ! erk. New Haven and Hartford rHii- road occupied tp days and that the testimony covers a6oi pages Of the oommittees record. In addition the committee and staff made inspection trips of the important roads, visiting terminals, classifcation yards, oon- strIetlon, erection and repair shops, locomotive shops. harbors, piers, etc. Through the entire investigation the officials of all the railroads gave un- stinttngiy of their time and energy and their attitude was most cordial,
 Public hearings were held in the various states and may say that the chief result was to show the woeful lack of knowledge and of interest dis played by the people of New England In . subject of such vital interest to them.

 The Power Question
 'T have spoken of the difficulties and the expense in securing adequate supplies of fuel. This cloud of un- certainty will always overhans iis unless definite steps are taken to utilize substitutes for coal. The ul- innate answer, believe, Is hydro electric power True, water power has. to some extent supplied the de- floiency but It's use must be more uni- vsrsai for 1t cannot be denied that the south Is surpassing us rapidly in the use of this economical power.
 Under the. leadership of F. g. Chase. chairman of our St. Lawrence committee. the association has called various experts to Hartford to dis CUBS the St. Lawrence Great Lakes power plan and other projects. It now has under consideration, with the Associated Industries of Massachu- setts, a Joint New England midwest conference to be called for the pur- pose of smoothing out some of the difficulties which have arisen.
 Taxation
 New England is handicapped not alone by the lack of natural resources but the legislatures of the various states in this section have established artificial barriers to progress. A most short-sighted policy has prompted them, for example, to levy excessive burdens of taxation. They proclaim loudly that our rates compare favor ably with the rates levied in states outside of New England. However. this does not explain the fact that the state and local taxes absorbed. in 1919, Az per cent to 5.5 per cent of the total income of the four states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire,

maintain research laboratories which are second to none in the United States. If is true, also. that New Eng land boasts of the greates. educational institutions in the country all of which recognize research as one of the three great functions of esnters of learning. It Is true also. that New England may point with pride to the research foundations within her borders. How ever, the smaller and many of the larger industrial plants still depend upon others for the development of new processes and the perfection of operations. They rely upon the wssteful method of trial and error. They depend upon the pioneer invssti- gator.
 "lf l were asked to give my opinion es to the present needs of New Eng land l should include industrial re- search. If I were asked to state too important future functions of a state manufacturer association I should place the development of industrial research well to the fore of the list
 Recognizing this need the directors of your organization, eight months ago, raised a special research com mittee. This committee has met with similar committee appointed by the president of Yale university. Definite proposals have been made and there is every reason to hope that within the coming year plan of cooperation will be in operation. The committee and the staff of the association have, in an incredibly short time. arrived at conclusions which. with proper CO., operation on the part of the members will mean much to Connecticut indus try.
 Tn my opinion industrial research Is one of the most formidable instru. ments which We can use in maintain ing our supremacy, It Is akin to Yankee ingenuity, It is Yankee in- genuity brought up to date--scienti- rciZed.
