 A gathering of the descendants of John Webster, one of the first gov ernors of Connecticut, who settled in Hartford in 1636, was held satur- day afternoon and evening In New ington by the old Pine tree. Will liam H. Webster of Berlin is a member of the family. There were about 21 descendants present and it is expected that another year will see more present. as this meet . ing was preliminary to forming a family association, it is reported.
 The Webster family is an extreme ly old one. its history having been traced back to 1889, when the Web sters held land in Yorkshire, Eng land. The family first appeared in America about 1880, when John Webster came to this country with his wife and four children and settled in Cambridge, Mass, moving to Hartford in 1886. He held nu- merous offices, being the fifth gov- ernor of this state.
 Numbered among the members of the family is Noah Webster, con- piler of the dictionary HOW in use and was a learned scholar of his day, The family seemed to be settled around Hartford and Glas- tonbury and one of the members, David Webster, born in 172o, studied law at Yale university and practiced in Pennington for a number of years. He also taught school at Newington.
 David Webster lived in Neving- ton by the Pine tree and this was the reason for holding the. family reunion at this place. He and his wives are buried in Beckley. For a number of years he was justice of the peace, in Worthington, Berlin.
 Daniel Webster, born In Berlin in 1S49, was prominent man int the towns affairs. William H. Webster. a resident of Berlin. is a man well known in the town and one promi- nent in the towns affairs.
 It is probable that another re- union will be held next year. at which time steps will be taken to form an association. Guests were present Saturday from Northamp- ton. Middle Haddam. Columbia, Rocky Hill, Berlin and wethersfield.
 The Websters were the second settlers in Berlin, being preceded by the Beckleys. The original settler purchased considerable land from the Mattabessett Indians. who had settled in this part of the country.

 Thinks filling The Man
 E. l. Alling Is the man for the po- sition of first selectman, according to William H. Webster of Berlin, who will go in the field at the eau GUS for the nomination for second selectman. Mir. Webster said today that Mir. filings conservative nature and his knowledge of the fine points of law are helpful in a job such as he is running for.
 MT. Webster is not especially anxious to secure the position of second selectmsn. He wll make no hght to secure it, He said today that he is running merely because NIT. filling had stated that he would decline to try for the position un- less Mir. Webster also entered the lists.
 What may become a split in the republican party in Berlin is devel- oping. Mir. Alling has a great num- her of supporters, but Mir. Carter, the present first selectman, who will also seek the nomination on the re- publican ticket, Is also strong at the polls.
 When fl comes to vote there may be difficulties. If there should be a break in the party if is possible

BARSON DISCUSSES DAWES REPORT
and JAPANESE EXCLUSION MEASURE
in REGARD TO j. s. MANUFACTURING

BABSON PARK, Mass, May y.
Roger W. Babson was today ask
ed whether or not there has been
any perceptible Improvement in
European conditions since the pub
1ieation of the Dawes report.
'.There is distinctly better feel
ing in Europe today, better than has
existed for four years, replied the
statistician. ''The Dawes commit
tee certainly did a splendid piece of
work and are entitled to the world 5
gratitude. The nations have not
vet formally accepted the report
and France or Germany may hold
for minor concessions but with all
the other nations behind it the pros
pects are for its acceptance without
any important changes. The mar
ket trend of Frances securities in
dieates very clearly that she will
cooperate.
"The adoption of the Dawes re.
port means that the United States
will be called upon to loan large
sums abroad and endorse to a GER
tain extent Germany's obligations.
This in itself is not a. bull point. 1t
is also to be remembered that the
Dawes plan viii set Europe up in
business again and enable her to
eompete with us to n much greater
extent than at present. We should
not, therefore, spend all our time
helping to get Europe rehabilitat-
ed, only to leave our own manufac-
turers and wage workers to suffer
from this very necessary CONNER
cial and economic readjustment. -
The long swing results of the
Dawes plan as Mr.. Babson sees
them win be somewhat as follows:
''Imports into the United States
will greatly increase and if we are
not prepared for them our own
mills and factories will be shut
down correspondingly.
'sTo offset this we can increase
our mass production to make up
for one loss in speciality manufae-
turing. Let me make this point
clear.
Two Main Groups
Manufacturing can be divided
into main groups, "a those articles
where labor is the principal factor
such as wearing apparel, household
furnishings and novelties, and (2)
those articles where capital Is the
principal factor such as structural
steel products, automobiles, agricul
tural implements, etc.
When Europe gets settled again
we must expect TO lose much of our
slabor goods markets. South
America will again get her special
ties from Germany, France ano
England and we in the United
states will likewise import very
heavily ol such specialties. We
however should retain our market
for standard high capital cost pro
ducts. The United States and Ca
NADIA should retain control Of th'
manufacture of such goods. W.
should not only supply our owl
needs but those of Europe, Soutl
America and China as well. VIZ
should be willing to lose some o
our specially business; but mas
Imperial Valley press., 1924-05-12

production We should push harder
than ever and not yield on it one
inch to any other nation.
Mr.. Babson was then asked if he
thought the japanese exclusive leg
islation which recently passed con-
gress viii affect our foreign trade
relations? To this he replied:
=" Not TO any extent, Japan,
coming manufacturing nation, can
not be considered as a permanent
customer. Japan comes to Us only
when she is obliged to. China, on
the other hand, as source of raw
materials and tremendous market
for manufactured goods, has great
potential possibilities and n loss of
good will would, from a purely eco
nomic point of view, be more SER
ious.
Spread of Interests
Incidentally let me add that this
japanese question is but another IL
lustration of my statement of some
weeks ago, that there is grave dam
ger of serious conflicting interests
developing between the Pacific
coast states and the eastern states.
This 'spread Of interests applies
also to the Canadian provinces. The
eastern senators and congressman
voting for this bill seem to be
thoroughly cognizant of this dam
ger.
"Unfortunately,' concluded Mr..
Babson "all our recent legislation
has been defensive rather than con-
structive. We raise the tariff on
wheat 10 keep out the foreign pro-
duet and do nothing 10. sell more
goods abroad. We increase immi-
grafton restrictions to keep
our workers here at home.
We make it easier for our
farmers TO get deeper into debt and
do nothing to show them the way
out. Today American and Canadian
business Is running On its momentum.
Every one wants to ride in autos
and no one wants TO work. Some
aggressive steps must be taken at
once or business will gradually but
surely decline. Already the Babson-
chart reflecting general business ac-
tivity has dropped from 6 per cent
above normal in February TO s per
cent below normal at present. The
most far reaching benefit, just now,
would result from 4 strong construc-
tive campaign TO secure and hold
the world mass productive bust
ness, both domestic and foreign. >
