QUALITY NEED OF PRODUCTION, SAYS SEC. DAVIS Output of Shoddy Goods Retards Business, Declares Cabinet Member. RECOVERY CONTINUES BY JAMBS J. DAYIS Secretary of Labor. In reply to question I, I will say It Is my conviction that the moderate recovery In general busiaess which we are now experiencing will continue during the year 1922. 1 believe there will be a slight healthy increase in the rapidity of such revival, but that any “spurts” or booms produced in spots by “psychological d-ives” will probably not only react upon the spots so Inflamed, but tend ultimately to slightly check the healthy growth. As to what in my belief would be

the greatest stimulating influence to business recovery. I may be pardoned for suggesting tbe withdrawal of stimulants and the substitution of tonics. Tbe first and perhaps the only needed tonic is a retfurn to quality. It is my Judgment that the so-called buyers' strike was a ( trike against quality as well as against prices; in so far as such buyers’ strike continues it is, in my Judgment, a strike against quality today and not against price, except, of course along certain special lines where prices remain extl-avagant and unreasonable. While quality along some lines is improving, the improvement here is much less noticeable \ than is the decline in price. The buyiAg power of the American people, has uVot at any time been seriously crippled, Vbut that buying power can only La brought Into action by tbe buying wish oY the people, and that can be excited olily by offering them the quality they wAnt of the things they want QUALITAY needed to REVISE V BUSINESS. This Is I essentially my answer to question 3: The only setback to business that seems! to me to be likely is that our factories aV they start up may go on producing tte same absence of quality lti their that they were able to “get away with” \lur:ng the war at enormous prices. As il my judgment the people will not buy Ithis inferior stuff, the factories will soowi be able to overstock the shelves of theltrade with this unsalable material and wer.ee be forced to close after a short ru\i Wherever the mistake of making poor Hnuality of goods is made I believe that ■his will be the result. Fortunately, as above, improvement in quality B is somewhat general There Is, however* practically no return to pre-war standards of quality, and to my mind this is thW tonic which business needs. ■ Referring to inqimiry 4, in my judgment the prices of (■ommodities taken as a whole will continuM to go lower durinjj ■ ilie ha' already been too jgri-at perhaps tho| will he advan vs. buA the general < i;r *>s are likely t<A tend dow gr.ou t:;r'.ugfe.*-:t ■-:-> year. /Sfxi

NO LOWER PRICES i oi; i \k . i Koin ' w ' _ i ■ In ver; many, if noi^H the things we produce, the acttJSß costs in the units of produetion than the administrative and selling both in actual amounts and ini centage of total costs. A drive to ‘1 dqte" inflated overhead selling and 1 chologizlng” costs might produce 1 startling results that could be refl' in prices.

>E< RAY r WORS* JEWISH REL^B )c - A pin-ul to Raise^HSj 000,000. jHH • • v- r: .'. r A M.-i’rav. HH ’^bß Governor of Virginia and the of Rhode Island has given his fled endorsement of the $14,000,(10(4 appeal of the American Jewish relief committee for the starving and destitute Jews of Eastern Europe. Governor McCray h;.s sent the following letter to Louis J. Borinstein of Indianapolis. State chairman of the appeal: “I am glad indeed to give my unqualified approval to the drive about to be launched in the State of Indiana as a art of the national campaign by the Americn Jewish relief committee for the siek and starving inen, women and children of the devastated and blighted portions of Europe. “This is truly a most deserving and worthy undertaking and I sincerely trust the people generally will realize fully and responsively the great need and make thir contributions accordingly.” The $14,000,000 appeal was made by the American Jewish Relief Committee, of which Louis J. Marshall of New York is she chairman, after a conference of leading Jews from all parts of the country had been held in Chicago and thosepresent hail listened to first-hand reports as to the actual conditions by the men who had studied them intensively in Europe and had participated in the administration of relief measures in many parts of Europe. The delegates present after listening to the reports decided unanimously that $14,000,000 was the minimum sum that could be asked for If the work was to meet the need of caring for 300,000 Jewish orphans and 400.000 destitute Jewish refugees. Thev pledged their hearty support to the ap peal and already many States are mak lng good their pledges. Indiana will trj to raise $400,000, her share of the amount during the week beginning Jan. 8. David 4. Brown of Detroit is the national chairman of the appeal.
