It is simply because the wages that are paid in that industry in the United States are three and onehalf times as much as those being paid in Germany and in Czechoslovakia. four times as much as those being paid In Holland. and eight times as much as those being paid in Japan. I myself have been through the pottery factories in the center of Japan. I have seen the kind of labor that is employedwomen. girls. boys. a great many of the coolie type of labor. They are paid only as much for 8 hours of work as an American workman is paid for 1 hours work. See the utter impossibility of competing with that kind of labor in that industry.
