Rep. Rogers Reveals Big Toy
Factory Closed When laps
UnderSoId Products

Unless immediate steps are
taken by this Government to pre-
vent Japanese,manufactured ma
terials from flooding the Ameri-
can market, various domestic in
dustries, already suffering mark
edly from the low.priced japanese
merchandise, will be forced out OF
business, Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers (R), of Massa'
chusetts, said today.
Representative Rogers, who for
months has been seeking quietly
to stir the Administration to
action against this peril, recently
has brought her campaign into
the open, and support Of her posi-.
ton is gathering momentum
rapidly.
Toy Factory Closed
During her study Of this situa.
ton, she has collected data con-
corning the competition Of Japa-
nese-manufactured materials in
America that astonishes even
those who are supposed to be
familiar with the subject.
She revealed that one large toy
factory in this country was forced
to close and put 200 people out Of
employment because the same
products were being shipped into
the United States from Japan at
such low retail prices that do
mestic competition was out Of the
question.
japanese establishments, EN-.
ploying labor as low as 20 cents
q day, can purchase American
cotton, pay the shipping charges,
the costs of manufacture into
some finished product, pay the
charges of shipping the product
back into the United States and
the duties. and even then far un.
derSell the American-produced
goods.
Many Products Affected
This applies not only to textile
products. The same condition ex.
lists regarding a wide variety Of
products ranging from rubber
shoes to microscopes.
Even more alarming are the
methods used by the japanese,
through agencies here, to give
the American purchasers the i'm
preston that the products are
American-made.
One instance is pointed to in
which the japanese manufac-
turer informs his prospective
American buyer that if the guam
tity bought is large enough the
names of American distributing
companies will be printed on the
article.
"NRA" on Japanese Goods
Another instance was revealed
In which MIRA" was stamped
on the product, even though it
was produced in Japan. One of
these articles, a door-hinge, is
being used by the United States
Government in its buildings.
Another story is that the Japa.
pese had a city named Sweden"
90 that matches produced there
could bear the label Made in
Sweden" so that when brought
into this country it would not
appear that the cheap Japanese
labor had been utilized in man.
ufacturing the matches.
1t was revealed that silver
cigarette box put on the market
for the first time in this coun-
try by an American manufac.
turer last spring was duplicated
exactly by a Japanese firm,
which offered them in the fall
Of last year. The lowest retail
price at which the American
company could offer these boxes
was 81, while the japanese dupli.
cation was offered at 80 cents.
Mrs. Rogers hopes that before
long the Administration will
place an embargo against most
Of these Japanese goods, or at
least place them under quota

FLOOD CONTROL
BACKING ASKED
Of SWANSON

BLADENSBURG, Md. April Is.
For reasons of national defense,
Secretary 9of Navy Swanson today
was urged to back the flood con.
troll project for the Eas tern
Branch of the Anacostia River
bordering Bladensburg.
In a-letter forwarded in behalf
Of the flood control committee,
John s. White, of Colmar Manor,
chairman of the committee, pc
tttioned the Secretary's aid to cure
the flood menace because the
flood area is part of the defense
area of the Nations Capital and
the highways traversing the sec.
ton are designated for supply and
troop movements to Annapolis
and Baltimore ports.
The committee also plans to
send;a letter. to Secretary of War
Iern asking his aid.
Should. an emergency arise,
hecessitating the immediate trans
fer Of naval supplies or equipment
to Annapolis and the Defense
Highway then be flooded near
the District line, as often occurs,
such q transfer would be hindered
greatly, Mr.. White pointed out.
= He added that connections with
the United States Naval Academy
are as easily jeopardized in peace
time. -.,.:
War Department studies have
brought ia their wake a solution,
providing for an extension of
dredging done, on the stream in
the District, at a cost of $780,
600, he said. The channel need
not be made as deep as it is in
the District, Mr.. White added.
Secretary swanson was asked
by Mr.. White, on behalf of the
committee, to join with other ma
tional and State authorities in
adding the project to the new pub
lie works program for civic i'm
proVement now being mapped.

four times and finally was lost
on Colonel Pierce's place. They
drew again and found the sec

Jeffersonton, and ran all over
that country to Amory Car

to Woodburn, where the fox
was put to ground. This was a
great day, the first fox gave
them a run of more than an
hour and the second about As
minutes.
Cobbler Hunt had a good
day when they met at Fig

a fox at once, for foxes are
plentiful in this country. They
ran to Big Hill and all around
it, had a lot of good jumping
over open country, where there
were no woods. The hound
work was particularly good on
this hunt and they could see
most of it. The fox, too, was
viewed many times. Among
those hunting with Lieuten-

was the Master of the Riding
