Harris, who is Chairman of the New England Governors' Textile Committee, supported this statement by referring to the facts that: (1) The relative decline of the nation's income going to New England slowed up during the period of 1950 to 1954 and; (2) New England's per capita income relative to the nation's, which dropped from 1929 to 1950, remained constant from 1950 to 1954--"a remarkable performance for an older region...
