 degree Of industrial tranquility as it Is possible to have in any com munIty. New Britain has everything that anyone would want to work for, !ndustriously, socially and spirit ualy.
 John L. Davis, when he was in New Britain was one of the great est New England advertisers you ever had. He brought mon here from all over the country and has developed a better spirit among men.
 Every man in this city has the same responsibility. whether 1t he the mayor or the worker in the fac- tory"
 Picking up one of the Lions club song books he turned over its pages and pointed out some If tho follow ing selections: My Old Kentucky Home" Beautiful Ohio" "Mis- souri Waltz" Carry Me Back to old Virginia" and others of the same type. Why don't you sing songs about New EnEland?" he asked.
 He quoted the editor of nation ally known business magazine who said he had offices all over the country but had to close his Boston office because he found New Eng land was shackled with ultra con- scrvatism. Referring tn the loss to New England of some of its indus 1 tries, he said, "The Corbtn plant in New Britain at one time turned out a good automobile. Boston and vi- cinity has lost It's shoe industry and the cotton business from Providence has gone south.
 "Willimantic has a strike on It's hands now. The town depends on this industry and yet nothing deh- nite is being done to settle it. They arc clashing over picayune things. The state labor board says 1t Is none of its affair vet what Is a state h. hor board for, If not to see that there is labor for those who want to labor?
 When Roger Babson says Provi- dence is 23 per cent worse off than l it vas a year ago, we know he is making 8 low estimate, Thcre are A2 vacant stores In the center ot 1 Providence business district right InoW.
 "We ought to awaken 10 the i'm ] portance of inviting industries here. The tobacco industry was almost lost to the small growers in the Con- necticut valley when they had to compete with the prices of the to- bacco trust, The small growers united to help finance themselves and the industry has been saved,
 Cant the same thing be done to other forms of agriculture in Con- nectiCut? On the other side Of Hartford we see farm after farm be- ling abandoned. Connecticut Tan kecs say they are worked out. Yet Italians come In, buy the farms for q song, and In two years they are driving their families 10 town in Packards making better profits than Ithe Yankee farmer did and not working as hard. The old days when the man, his wife and children all labored from daylight 10 dark on the farm have gone. The Italian | farmer is making the so-Callcd worked out farm pay profits and not working very hard either.
 There are scouts In your city right now. and have been for the past two or threo weeks trying to find industries which are financially handicapped, and they are saying to Ithcm: Come out west. we'll finance you, give you tax exemptions, etc." ' Nr. Rogers referred 10 the $o.00O,- GOO fund being raised hy the New England Boosters association, which has been described in the Herald be- fore, which will be expended in an effort 10 sell Now England to New EnElanders.
 He said among other things there vll be general industrial and economic survey, a survey of power facilities, transportation fa- 'c-ilitics. etc He said it would in- clude a vast publicity program. q speakers bureau. advertising of cd ucational facilities, and, in fact all ,thc facilities and assets of New Eng ) land.
