NoluO OLN <1AAVAASd 1dA farm property far exceeds the capital invested in manufacturing enterprises.
 But the value of America's manufac- lures is three times the value of our farm products.
 Our nations farms are valued at 77,924 millions.
 The capital invested in manufactures is 44,579 millions.
 But the value of manufactured prod ucts is 62,41S millions compared with annual farm products valued at 21,- 426 millions.
 Our railways rank next in regard to amount of capital invested. The Inter- State Commerce commission, which railway men say is not given to over estimating the worth of our railroads, gives the total railway capital of the United States as 22,292 millions. Of this, 9,7O6 millions consist of stock and 13,216 millions of funded debt.
 The street railways are credited with possessing 4,S78 millions of wealth or value.
 Telephone systems are put down as having 1,746 millions of wealth.
 Just what the value is today of electric and steam power and lighting plants cannot be stated but it now runs into the millions.
 Would you believe that our life in- surance companies had assets of 1921 of no less than 1886 millions. It can be safely concluded that they are now well past the eight billion mark. Their income is 2,O00 million and they pay to policy holders in course of a year some $50 millions.
 What about our, financial institu- tiOns?
 Our national banks have a capital and surplus of 2,356 millions while trust companies and state banks have q capital and surplus of no less than S,285 millions.
 National banks show total resources in excess of 10000 millions while other banks have resources of 30,000 millions These figures are commended to the too large number of individuals who are going around today shaking their heads and gloomily predicting that every thing in this country is slowing down toward a standstill.

 The figures used in this column are either from the census of 1920 or later authoritative sourcess
 A good many people have come to regard the automobile industry as the largest in America. It ranks third. The value of all cars and trucks pro- duce6 and parts sold last year was $2,- 252,000,000. Incidentally, this figure is not likely to be appreciably exceeded during the current year. ! Cotton goods manufacturing comes next. It is the only other industry ex- ceeding the two billion annual mark. It records $2,125, 100000.
 It will probably astonish a good many people to learn that petroleum refining ranks next. The census figures show $1 ,633 900, ,000 but since then pro duction has very greatly increased so that the next census is likely to reveal that the oil industry has moved up one or more notches.

bRYAN'S 'BLUNDER'
SCORED BY REED
Senator Assai|s Nominees
Attitude Toward National
Defense Day.
By the Associated Press.

6y Lne AsSOClateQ ffeSs-
KANSAS CITY, August 2.-Refusal
of Gov. Bryan of Nebraska and other
State officials to Cooperate in the
National Defense day program, as an
nounced by President Coolidge, was
characterized as q serious blunder"
by United States Senator James A.
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, in state
ment issued here tonight The Sena-
tor said he preferred to accept the
Judgment of Gen. Pershing to that of
Gov. Bryan let al' as to any military
maneuver.
Senator Reed said it would ap-
pear to the onlooker that ''pre-war
pacificism has joined hands with po-
litical pettifoggery." He declared
that the real sower of the seed of
war is the creature who goes about
crying Peace! Peace" when there is
no peace" and that the pretense that
preparedness will create a lust for
blood is the limit of absurdity.
Every citizen possessing common
sense" Senator Reeds statement con-
tinued, knows that the day may
come when some great power or com
bination of great powers may attack
the United States.
THE sole purpose of the Defense
day program is to develop the best
possible plan for the mobilization Of
our resources so that nations will
hesitate to attack US, and. should
they do so, to repel that attack with
the least possible loss.
The program may be as full of err
rors as an egg is of meat The
very object of the experiment is to
discover these errors in advance, in
stead of waiting to learn them on
fields Strewn thick with the corpses
of American boys"
Senator Reed said that prepared
ness is a relative term and pointed
out that condition which constitutes
complete preparedness against
small power may be gross unprepar-
edness against great power or COM
bination of great powers.
Sees Advantage.
For more than so years. his
statement continued, 1.-The United
States has been in a state of pre-
paredneSs against Mexico and all of
the South American countries. AS to
them her power was, and is, ire
sistible. She could within 90 da~s
have crushed any or all of them
TT is plain, therefore, that the pos
session by America of power has
never led to a policy of aggression.
The claim that by placing our
selves in a position where attack will
certainly be repelled. we thereby in
vite attack, borders on the idiotic
1t answers itself"

the recent approval of his stand on

Gov. Bryan. who voiced opposition

to participate in Defense day plans,
made public his answer to a telegram
from Mr.. Davis in which the COVER
nor said:
The matter in question came to
me in my official capacity as Cover
nor Of Nebraska, and my position in
the matter represents the over
whelmfng opinion of the people l
represent as governor. I was not
raising a public question or discuss
Ing national issue as candidate
of a national ticket and sincerely
hope that my duties here as governor
have not embarrassed you or caused
you to feel that 1t is necessary for
you to take public notice of ques-
tions arising in connection with my
official duties as chief executive of
the State. However, I am glad to
know that the position I have taken
as governor is in accord with your

NEW YORK, August New York
Socialists will observe Defense day
with an organized counter demon
stration for peace" Joseph D. Can
non, labor organizer and former So
cialist candidate for governor, an
nounced today when he took charge
of his party's campaign in this city.
Socialists will not be content with
a mere gesture of opposition to mill
tarism," he said. Simply to oppose
Mobilization day by word of mouth is
too easy a test. AS we have always
done. not only in the compare tive
safety of peace days. but also in war,
when passions ran high, the Social
lists will make the date of this pro-
posed demonstration for war the &C.
casion of counter demonstration
for peace.
I'VE will call on all peace-loving
Americans to refuse to practice the
goose step and to turn their atten-
tion to the problems of attaining per-
manent world peace"
He added that more than 100 meet
ings will be held in the five boroughs
These will be outdoors, if possible,
and will be addressed by :he candi-
dates of the Socialist party, all of
whom will speak against the Defense
day activities.
Because of the National Guard
demonstration on Fifth avenue, the
Socialists will attempt no parade, Mr..
