Commerce Secretary's An
nual Report Shows Un
broken Advance in Ameri
can Productivity Despite
Slack Business Period.
WASHINGTON, Dep. 15.
An unbroken odvnnco in American
productivity was cited today by
Secretary Lamont as the funda
mental cause of rising standards
of living.
In thl.s factor, he found "conclu
sive evidence" that business prog
ress 1a NOT wiped out by periods
of depreupfon. This cheering word
went to congress in his annual
report.
"It has marked a permanent
Achievement," ho said, "and when
the present recession Is over, the
ame upward movement will un
questionably 1m resumed.
"The causes at work nre for tho
most part of a cumulative charac
ter, so that it may be said that
each forward step leads to another
step in the same direction."
The report dealt with tho fiscal
year which closed June 30. It in
cluded a survey of economic trends
and a resume of the commerce de
partment's activities.
Few Watfo Cuts.
Mr. Tnmont said it was "a note
worthy fact that practically no
cuts in wages have been -made by
employers as a result of the reces
sion of business."
This he saw as contracting sharp
ly with the practices of previous
alack periods and as evidence of a
widespread conviction that "per
manent progress In prosperity "is
dependent on liberal wages and
consequent large buying power on
the part of the masses of the peo
pie."
Greater skill and intelligence
among the workers, improved
methods of organization and man
agement, advances in science and
invention, and Increaaed use of
capital as an Aid to labor, were
fisted as the causes of increased
nutput per workman.
Oains In personal productivity
have ranged from 57 to 115 per
cent in the various branches of
economic endeavor over a period of
30 years. Cains, of a0 to 40 per
cent" were noted for 'thc last dec
ade.' Commodity Prices Cut.
Among the major economic phe
nomena of the fiscal year, the com
merce secretary referred to a "very
considerable decline" in commod
ity prices, which broke "the steadi
ness' that characterized the price
levels of recent years. The drop
ran all the way through the com
modity list but was "especially
marked In farm products." A de
crease in the value of crops was
noted, together with an increase
In that of animal products.
In the field of transportation in
creased efficiency was noted, with
railroads 'handling more traffic
with fewer employes, fewer froight
cars, and fewer locomotives than
In any other year of similar busi
ness volume."
The security markets dominated
financial conditions, Lamont said,
and loans for the sale and pur
chase of securities were generally
regarded as having had "a most
disturbing effect" on the money
market. A decline in American
loans abroad was noted.
- Slump World Wide.
The secretary mentioned at sev
eral points in his report that busi
ness depression had been world
wide and said that in several for
eign countries recession had be
gun even earlier than in the United
States.
Kfforts to decrease wasto In in
dustry, a home building campaign
conducted on a national scale, in
creased service to business both
nt home and abroad and continued
service to commercial aviation
were cited among the activities of
the department.
Its services to aviation were given
as the examinntion'Of ulrcraft and
nlrmen for license, the maintenance
nf lhe federal airways system, as
sistance to communities in the se
lection of airports, determining the
causes of accidents, and furnish'
Ing the public with information on

The day I arrived here there
was an Immense purndo of what
appeared to bo thousands of chil
dren. They were clean, well
dressed and apparently happy.
They carried red flags and nu
merous banners on which were
painted their slogans. Bands of
boys and girls filled the air with
music. They sung the Interna
tionale and other patriotic song
"What is it?" I inquired. "Have
all the schools burned down "
"Nothing of the sort," replied
a Ha turn booster. ''These chil-
rli-nn nm nil voimir communists

of the winter school term. ' j

Young Pioneers. not yet old
enough to join the Young Com
munists organization.
The Pioneers are something like
the Hoy Scouts and get their
Mnrxist training early. One of
their tenets is to be polite and
helpful to strangers. The two
Pioneers positively refused the
usual thank-offerings customary
In other countries.
"What are you going to be
when you grow up?" one of the
boys was asked.
"1 hopo to be an engineer,"
was tho answer of the lU-year-old.
"Do you want to become rich "
"Rich?" repeated the Young Pio
neer, obviously mystified. "What
does rich mean?"
The word ' rich" Is not in lb
soviet vocabulary.
Near liatum the government
hs established a large experi
mental tropical farm whereon It J

and other citrus fruit.
Tho biggest venture is a tea
plantation where already some
35,000 acres are under cultivation.
At the end of the five-year plan
It is expected that 160,000 acres
will be planted In tea. The soviet
government thereby hopes to do
away with its great tea imports.
There are as many mosques as
churches in Batum, although a
percentage of both is being elimi
nated by the soviet campaign
against religion. The nationali
ties here are more mixed than in
any other city of the union. They
are chielly Mohammedan, Geor

Thft Ailvharlstan language is
taught in tho schools as well as
Russian. The Soviets granted the
Adzlmristann a separate republic
after Georgia was taken from ine
Mensheviks In 1921.

As Told to the Atwociatud I'tcss)
Having health Is a wonderful j
thing. I wish every hoy and glrlj
in tho world was as hi-althy as
the doctors any 1 am.
I don't suppose living ns I have
would give everybody health, but
I'm sure it would improve health.
I eat just about n I please, not
to much candy or cake. 1 drink
lots of milk and I like ice cream.
Living on a farm gives anybody
an opportunity to get plenty of;
fresh air. On our place in Orun-
dy county, Iowa, there is plenty j
to do. and that gives me lots of
exercise.
At high school where I nm a
senior, I like to play basketball
and hockey.
I like dancing and the movies.
E always enjoy a trip into Water
loo, which is near our form, for
there we see the movies. School
parties ore fun.
Hut watching the photographers
and movlo cameramen rushing
around, running into each other
and fussing at each other while
they took our pictures after the
health content was almost as good
as a moving picture.
I UKtially sleep nine or ten
hours. Many times, 1 walk to
school two miles, away. It's won
derful walking down the road
through tho early morning, and
it's just as nice coming home,
particularly in the foil when it'
hnzy and there is a tinge of winter
In tho air.
I like rooked cereal, toast, fruit,
poached or boiled eggs and milkj
for breakfast. I try not to be
late for breakfast because I enjoy
It probably the best of any meal.
I eat meat once or twice n day
and all vegetables yes, including
spinach.
When I finish high s'hool next
.Tune I hope to go to Iowa State
college nt Ames. My brother k"'
there. I wnnt to study home eco
nomics and tench it.
I like boys; I've gotten pretty
used to them ns there ore eight
children in our family. I wip
poso some day I'll settle down to
liking one buy.
