 that this is nation wide condition. In some areas which are dependent upon one or two large industries for their economic life, conditions are much worse than in New England where our manufacturs are so highly diversified. Our industries are so varied in nature that even during this period many plants are operat- ing at capacity. There are many in dications that production schedules have been cut below the needs of current consumption and that man. ufacturing must soon speed up to take care of consumer demand. Our most. progressive manufacturers are taking advantage of any temporary let down to eliminate wastes and in efficiencies hitherto overlooked, and to tune up their organizations to take advantage of the better busi- ness 10 come. If all our business men will follow the example of these leaders, industrial New England will come out of the depression stronger than ever, and ready to take full ad- vantage of the opportunities ahead.
 ''The New England council has associate members totalling approXi- mately 1,200. They are the finan- cial supporters of it's work. The fee is not arbitrary, the minimum being fixed for individual memberships at $25 and for firm memberships at $50. Many associate members vol untarily pay much more. We need, for the good of New England, to tie New England to the New England council, for it's story is that of achievement for five busy and con- tributive years. It's objectives are the continued and increased profit able operation of business enter prise in the six New England states, and the economic welfare of New England's people. It will achieve these objectives in direct proportion as the people of New England re- spond to it and avail themselves of it.
 Sixth New England Conference
 "One way in which every New England business man, manufactur- CT and agriculturalist can take an intimate personal part in this great cooperative development movement. besides becoming an associate mem- Der, is to attend the sixth New Eng land conference, to be held in Bos- ton, November 20 and ? of this yhi1l a1, ho h ering of New England business lead CTS, representative of every state and city and of every major economic interest. The dominant note will be: Preparation For the Better Business Ahead
 "Astute business thinkers foresee the coming year as one in which business will be successful in pro- portion as it adjusts to new condi- tions, rather than waiting for old boom conditions to return. Ways and means expedting this adjust ment will form the subject matter of much of this years conference.
 "We believe that the New Eng land councils most important ac- complishment has been the change and improvement in New England's morale. Unlike conditions in 1925 when the council was formed, New England is today more than ever alert, progressive, aggressive. sane ly optimistic and alive to capitalize upon it's opportunities. The coun- cil itself represents progressive New England business organized to pro- mote it's own welfare. It sees New England with it's future before it. What it makes of that future de- bends upon New England's own in telligence and initiative. We must look forward, not backward, and apply our talents unremittingly and without fear to our problems. Our greatest asset, our youth, no longer oppressed with tales of New Eng lands gloomy future, is finding the homeland and the home community more attractive. Not only that, our youth is finding increased economic opportunity here, where millions of people dwell and require the neces- sities and luxuries of life, and where other millions annually seek rest and recreation.
 Councils Energies Consecrated
 There IS indeed a new New Eng land new spirit, which will reach its ultimate effectiveness only as we all, every one of us, embrace the fact-found faith upon which it is based and individually and collec- lively do our level best to build as rapidly as possible our better and finer and more prosperous New Eng land. To this task the New Eng land council has consecrated it's energies, and to this end it bcspcaks your support"
