 "New England is dependent on the management and prosperity of its industries. In the past New England has had to conquer the lack of natural resources with d Shrewd- ness, industry, ingenuity and char acter which have given this section tn reputation Of raising men and women. New England men and women have always stood for the hardest working, most capable and most economical of the people of this country.
 No Serious Threat From South
 Within the past few years ad- verse conditions have affected our cotton trade. Southern industries springing up pointed to a slump in the textile supremacy of this sec tion. Since then it has been found that the industries which were es- tablished in the south which looked so good at first, have their own troubles now. It has been found that New England concerns can ship cotton to their northern mills and manufacture and place the fin ished products on the New York market for the same price that southern industries can demand. Capital outlays which southern in dustries are finding so hard to meet, have already been taken care of by

With the problems which have been met by past gen erations are we, the present age, going to break the faith of those gone and those coming and lay down on the job now? New Eng lands men and women will still be it's chief product and we will de- velop this part of the country until every citizen in New England will be glad that he's a citizen of the United States"

 Appeals for State Patriotism
 Preceding MT. Coxs address, Clark Belden, secretary of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, ad- dressed the gathering. He con- demned the narrow viewpoint exist
 
 from most of the individuals reck- oning. He said further that the Chamber of Commerce strove to widen that viewpoint and was there fore worthy if for no other reason.
 Let Us work away from individ- ualism." said Mir. Delden. Let us work for q greater state viewpoint. Let us give our practical rather than just our moral support to the Cham Der of Commerce. We need the moral support and we have it to q great extent. but we need more practical support. There are men on the state chamber list who are giving time which couldn't be bought for the purpose of aiding the chamber. We have 52 Chambers Of Commerce in the state, all linked irto a chain which is doing won- derful work.
 "One of our ohjectives for the fu- ture is the advisability of establish ing a state advertising commission. We are going to see if it would be rractical to advertise Connecticut and just how we would do that if we found it practical.
 I've arc also working on the state parks program. We have investl- gated the appropriation request of the commission and we are going to advise the complete adoption of the resolution.

our industries. They are experience ing bad business as we are here The southern trade will not seri- ously threaten our own markets.
 Besides these facts. We have certain advantages which must not be overlooked.
 Mass of Skilled Workers
 We have the advantage of a mass Of skilled workers which is hard to duplicate anywhere. Dur ing the war, much of the war time produce of the country which was manufactured elsewhere. was sent to New England to be refinished and completed. We have the skill which has been brought out by gen. erations of workers.
 we have the advantage of the characteristic thrift of the people, a trait which has been handed down from our ancestors who had 10 save to live through the unpro- ductive winters here. Of the states of the Union, the New England states alone showed any decrease of their indebtedness.
 We have the facilities for re- search and analytical work which are needed the world over. That field alone will provide a future for a large part of our younger gen. eration.
 Business Increasing Normally
 eve have transportation facilities in the highways and railway service of the New Haven road, which has been constantly improved of late. We must naturally give up some markets as other sections of the country claim them, but on the whole our business is increasing steadily and the section is going forward as much as is normally possible.
 Tn former years, New England lens Of manufacture to market their goods. With the springing up of the industries of other sections, the manufacturer Of today is finding the need of salesmanship. The Panama Canal has brought the West Coast and the Orient nearer to this sec ton than it is to Chicago, speaking in the terms of the shipper.
 "The increase in population of the country as whole compared with the increase in population of the New England states shows great CT figure for this section than for tn, whole country. Why is this? Why should people with the right to settle where they will and travel where they will choose New Eng land? It must follow that we have something to offer them which oth- CT districts have not.
 Sees New Growth for Boston
 "Thc rest of the country sneers at our shipping ports perhaps. We have in Boston a port equal to m most in the world. We have obtained rights which have previously been discriminating in favor Of Baltimore dIiu IIllldItlpHld | ana We are pre- pared to extend our shipping facili- ties to the utmost. The allocation by the shipping board of 12 cargo ships to make their headuarters in Boston to me sounds the keynote for a massive increase of shipping from that port.
 There are other things besides saaries to be considered. Geogra- ph. experts state that New England has the most stimulating climate in the world. We have the educational advantages which few districts can offer. We have the shrines of the events which were history in the making which should make finer citizens of our youth.
 Let the rest of the world hear of New England. Let us borrow a little of our western brothers meth cd of spreading the good news. Let us talk New England and spread

that this should be sufficient to put
over n project such as the Point
Isabel harbor. II the Valley would
unite in the solution of such prob
lens there could be little doubt of
ultimate success.
Harbor a Necessity
II consider the Point Isabel har-
Dor project absolutely essential-the
most important proposition now be-
fore the people of the Valley. There
should be no delay in inaugurating
action which will assure the financ-
ing Of the project. Every month of
delay means a heavy loss to the VAL
ley We know there is an
almost unlimited market for Valley
fruit and vegetables in the big cities
Of the Atlantic s%eaboard; we know
that California and Florida have
distinct advantages in freight rates,
and that the Valley cannot success
fully compete with them unless the
harbor project materializes and
water rates are secured.
National advertising is n Of the
great needs Of the Valley" Mr..
Brock said. California and Florida
have opened immense markets for
their production through national
publicity. and their products do not
compare with those of the Valley
in quality. But the consumers in
the North and East know Of the
California and Florida products. and
the advertising Of those states has
given them a prestige that proves in
valuable in creating additional mar
kets."
Mr.. Brock expressed the view that
further development Of the Valleys
upon an extensive scale
would depend upon the opening of a
deep water port at Point Isabel, and
made the prediction that the opening
Of such a port would be followed by
an era Of intensive development such
as no other agricultural section of
the United States has experienced.
