He pointed out that the state has over 1,000 textile plants and manufactures over one-fourth of all cotton broad woven goods produced in the country, one-third of man-made fiber textiles, about half the sales yarn, and one half the knitted goods. “Of all the nations which see Ameri ca as an insatiable market for every thing they can make, ship, and sell, Ja pan represents the greatest single threat,” he said. “Here is a nation which attacked America, was defeated by America, was rebuilt by America, and today is burying America through eco nomic invasion. “Here is a nation whose industrial capacity is the third largest in the world, ranking behind only the U.

And it is small wonder, too', that Ja pan is responsible for 68,000 of the 200,000 American textile jobs which have been lost to foreign imports.” I.O.U. For U. S.

On May 31 of this year the total U. S. Debt was $353 billion and your share of this amount is $1,767. The combined federal debt has increased $21 billion during the past year.
