Holland Needs The Hague, Netherlands, May ll.- 1 attention is being given in business . circles in Holland to the question of 1 the possibility ot creating new Indus- i tries In thin country and by this t means rendering the Netherlands < nore independent of other countries 1 in the event in th? future of a hhni- I lar crisis arising to that brought < uhout by thc present Kuroi/ean war. ll Numbers of industrial men have tak-'? en th?' subject under consideration, i lint nothing definite has yet been pro- . | posed. The Dutch peoplo in most i Instances are unaware of the possl- I Millies in thc way of Investment hi i their own country und generali} place their capital nbrond Instead of i unit lux in un effort to keep their money at home, where with proper organization the returns would hi Just us high as those they receive from foreign Investments, while thu starting of linnie industries would bo Just ns high as those they receive from foreign Investments, while the starting of home industries would be useful In providing work for their fal low countrymen, who ar? sorely hit hy a crisis stu b as that nov/ prevail ing. Owing to Holland's dependence on ? materials from outside, several of the national Industries have for the time, being been ruined and those employ ed in them have been thrown out of work. For Instance, the sugar fac torlC8 and refineries, of which there are 30 in Holland, had been badly affected, in the first place by the pro hibition of the export, of sugar beet from Germany, Austria-Hungary and l'.elgiuni and in the second place by the refusal of England to permit im ports of sugar from Holland owing to fears tbut German sugar might come into the British Isles in that way. The Netherlands government also forbade the export of sugar for a time, but later decided to raise tho prohibition and permitted the sugar manufacturers and refiners to export 18 por cent, in the raw state and 42 per eent. refined. VVhilo retaining the other 10 per cent, of the total in the country for hom? consumption. Eng land also raised the ban on Dutch liiigar after receiving assurances that no sugar from Germany should be sent over thc channel as Dutch. The lack of Imported beets, however, caused many of thc factories and refineries to close down or reduce the number of their employees, who In all total 10.000. This Htnto of affairs In the sugar trade also affected other branches directly connected with lt; Buch as r,ack and packing cass, mak ers and tho transport workers on tho many internal waterways of Hol land over which the betB and the manufactured sugar are carried. To meet the eventuality of such condi tions arising again in future, lt has been decided to cultivate at least double thc quantity of sugar beet lu Holland and so\ne of the men thrown out of work have been employed in planting the seed for thc next har vest. As a rule the Dutch sugar fac tories deliver several hundred thou sand tons of raw sugar yearly. From 20 to 25 per cent, of it ls sont In this condition to England, tho remainder being relined in Holland together with the large quantities of raw sug ar generally Imported from tho other continental countries. England also takes about 25O.?00 tons ot relined sugar from Holland every year. Another group of trades which has suffered enormously through the war ls that composed of gold and silver smith and diamond workers. It was Philadelphia Banker and Mrs. Harry I. Keser. Harry J. Kcscr, who, with his wife, w 's a passenger on the Lusitania,-wah first vice president and cashier of the Philadelphia National Bank. The Kesers resido In Jenkintowu, and have one sou. .'loyd Koser, a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Kcsor, before her marriage, was Miss Mary Floyd, of Glenside. Her parents aro dead. Mr. Keser was well known in banking circles. He entered the em ploy ot the Philadelphia NaUr*?al. Bank in 1883. became assistant cash ier in IftOl. cashier In 1901, and on Jan uary 14, this .year, was advanced to tho position ot vice president.' He was widely known among hankers throughout the city and stat? and in New York. Last summer Mr. Keser I New Industries bund Impossible lo procure tho nec essary metals for tba fabrication of lie innumerable souvenir urticlcs so nuch sought ufter by tourists, while hose countries which ure the best iUStomers for trinkets-Belgium, [."rance, Germany and the Scandinav ian nations-showed no desire to pur chase what are generally considered luxuries, and there has besides beau i lack of tourists since the war" be san. Some of the factories found em ployment for part of their men lu making brass buttons for soldiers un iforms, for which there has been au xi ordinary demand owing to the .ailing nut of the Dutch army. Some :t thc manufacturers, however, felt themselves unable lo put the neces sary capital into the acquirement of iii" machinery required for this tem porary work and consequently the mun were thrown into the ranks of I the unemployed. The diamond set iers and polishers are entirely idle. The building trades have probably been hurt more than any other branch of of industry by the war. Bricklayers and their laborers, car penter;;, masons, painters, plumbers, i.nd riveters can find 'nothing to do. Contrat tors have been prevented from tarrying out their contracts partly Dy the tlifllculty of obtaining materials, but the chief reason of the Blackness is the hesitation of would be house-owners to give orders for iii?- erection of resiliences. Some of the building societies, founded on thu cooperative basis, have continued the building of houses for their members, and municipalities have not ceased to carry out the construction of worker's dwellings for routing to the poorer clasBCS. This activity lias not, how ever, been sufficient to stem the rising tide ot unemployment. The luck of timber, drawn chiefly from P.lga and Archangel, and freestone and cement, from Belgium, is greatly felt. Granite, much of it imported from Bavaria and Norway, ls not unobtainable or, if it can be got. costs very nigh transpor tation rates, while Belgium and Italy have ceased sending marble and very little of thia stone is to be had from Germany. Construction iron from Lorraine, Westphalia and the Rhine is Killi to be Itad. but ittakes double the usual length of time for trans portation, while thc formalities and papers necessary to obtain permis sion for imports form a constant source of annoyance and expense.

In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, a banker tells in part as follows why tie farms: "I am president of three big banks, and a director in other insti tutions which require much of my Lime. Yet I find plenty of timo to put ID on my farm, and. at actual work too. At the age of 60, and after ?5 years of banking and connections with various other responsibilities, I have no gray hairs to tell tales of worry, and no wrinkles to betray tho approach of time. Day after day I have labored over a long column of figures, discussed the money market with my business friends, and attend ed to other duties In tl a office In the forenoon, then in the afternoon I have donned a pair of overalls and ridden the plows till sundown. "What a great pity to see young men and young women marching to the city to be swallowed up with thousands ot other pieces of human machinery ar slaves to big business. There hr no way ot convincing those unfortunate humsn beings that they sra wrong, until it ls too late. A few months away from the old farm, where they, do not bear the cowbells or seo the great motion picture of real life as pictured in the hundred and one thisg* about the home, they fall, eternal victims ot false life, and are forever lost to farm Ute. ."Most young men go to town with the idea ot some day becoming well to-do and retiring to the farm. I be gan business life with a policy to stay mt the farm. I live on the farm the year round, and there'll - be no retir ing from the farm or to the farm. "Can every yoong man and woman do thia?
