The designing talent in America is quite equal to any in Europe.” Of course, the European war has given a great additional impetus to the North American wool manufacture. Not only Canada, Mexico and the West Indies, but the republies of Central America and South America, unable to procure their accustomed supplies from European sources, have turned to the United States and have learned by direct experience of the wide range and excellent qualities of the wool goods of North American production. The wool manufacture of the United States, taken as a whole, has a very much more modern and efficient equipment than the corresponding industry of Great Britain and the ('ontinent. This of itself is a very marked advantage. Moreover, the North American people, as a rule, enjoy considerably larger incomes than Europeans and are thereby enabled to indulge to a greater degree their desire for seasonable woolen apparel. There has been developed to unequalled perfection in the United States the great modern industry of ready-to-wear clothing for men, women and children, adapted on the one hand to the humblest purse, but on the other also to the tastes of the liberal and exacting. This industry has been made possible by the producttion in the United States of great quantities of wool fabrics of moderate cost, but of attractive and enduring quality. If the price of North American woolen cloths or dress goods is ever higher than the price of similar European fabrics, the difference is due altogether to the higher wages paid to the skilled workers in North American mills. Weavers and spinners receive earnings substantially twice as high in the Northern republic as in Great Britain, Germany or France. On the other hand, it is contended that the adminis ANATHBANDHU.

trative and technical management of the great North American mills is more progressive and effective than on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Textile schools of a high order exist, ill the principal manufacturing communities of North America. There is an increasing recogni tion of the value of the work of men of scientific training. The best standard modern looms of the world are of North American invention and the new wool manufacturing plants of the Inited States are regarded the world over as embodying the most advanced principles of Twentieth (antury manufacturing. The city of ILawrence, Mass., in the heart of New England, contains an immense worsted mill, the greatest wool manufacturing unit in existen (:e. This concern, running full, employs 7,000 operatives, Philadelphia has more woolen mills than any other one community on the globe. Many of these are owned and managed by men who began their careers as wage-earn ers at the looms or spindles. North American manufacturers, called upon to produce goods suitable for use over a wide area under sharply conflicting conditions of humidity and temperature, lhave developed a remarkable talent for adaptability to the needs of the business. It is the confident belief of these manufacturers that a considerable part of the export trade which the present war has developed in wool goods will le retained units merits when the war is over. There is a feeling that in these fabrics, as in many other commodities of daily use, the tastes and needs of North America and of Central and South America are, to a very large degree, the same.
