PAGE EIGHT REORGANIZATION OF COMMERCE Recommendation of Secretary Is Incorporated in First Annual Report Four Months WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Secretary Hoover, in his first ennual report, made public Tuesday, tells President Harding that the establishmerit of a real department of commerce, “eifective in service to producers, manufaéturers and distrib- * utors, able to give economic interpretation of importance to the American public generally, and to stimulate American trate and merchant marine,” requires ‘a thorough reorganization and enti regrouping of the federal functlo dearing o:1 these problems.” however, that inasmuch as these mat- ters are now actively before congress and the administration it is not neces sary on this occasion to enter into discussion of them. “As I assumed office on March 4, 1921," the commerce secretary writes the President, “this report covers but four months of the administration of the department under my direction. ‘The new administration during this four months devoted itself to two pri mary questions: “First. Reorganization of the de- partmental expenditures. “Second. ‘Reorganization of those bureaus concerned with industry and trade, that they may become more ef fective service to the community. “The results of reorganization en abled a revision of the estimates of expenditures for the fiscal year 1921 22, so that while the total appropria- tions available for the department for this period are $24,222,192, yet it now seems probable that the expense dur ing the fiscal year will approximate $20,200,000, showing total saving of about $4,000,000, or 16 2-3 per cent, of the available appropriations. Devoted Largely to of-Operation at or near Norfolk, Va., Key West. la; Honolulu and Newport, R. I., and additional funds are needed for the completion of depots at Boston, charleston, S. C.; Detroit, San Juan, Porto Rico and Ketchikan, Alaska. A request also is made for additional vessels for the coast and geodetic sur v the report declaring that if the much needed speeding. up of surveys in Alaska to meet the increasing needs of commerce there is to be accom plished. “It 1s absolutely necessary that several new vessels designed and built for the purpose be provided.” BRENNERMAN FUNERAL TO BE HELD THURSORY Funeral services for Mrs, V. E Brennerman, who died Monday night at her home in the Kenwood additon from tubercular trouble, suffered for about three years, will be held Thurs day morning at 10:30 o'clock at thc Baptist church. Rev. C. M. Thompson will take charge of the ceremony. Odd Fellows will attend in a body. “The results of reorganization of the bureaus concerning industry and trade ere in part indicated by the increase in volume of demand upon the de- partment for helpful actlon or infor- mation. These demands have now reached a rate of over 500,000 per an- rum. “The further practical results to ‘American commerce and industry will be more evident later in the year and comment upon them can best be de ferred until results have been fur- ther realized.” Secretary Hoover calls attention that while the total foreign trade of the nation decreased by $3,176,626,000 éuring the past fiscal year, there wa @ slight increase in the visible bal- ance of trad» in favor of the United States as a result of the year’s oper- ations. Exports for the year totaled $6,386, 636,039 against $7,950,429,180 last year Before while imports were $3,654.44 430 against $5,238,352,114. The ance of trade for the year was $2 186,609 compared with $2,711,807 the year before. Part of the shrinkage in the value of foreign trade is duc, the report says, “to lower price rather than to dimin. ished quantities and part to the gen eral unsettled conditions in the coun tries to whom the United States sells.” “It is, therefore, increasingly im portant,”’ it is added, “that the service of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce be developed and intensi- fied to meet the increased demands of ‘American manufacturers who are planning to hold and extend their mar kets abroad.” In this connection, Mr. Hoover re views the work of the various divis: fons of the bureau, noting that the Latin-American <division “has render- e@ notable service to American bus! ness men during the year.” Ho also calls attention that the Far Eastern work has been expanded and devel- oped. ‘The secretary says the bureau “re- auires great additional strength if it is to serve the purpose really intend- ed by congress and meet the demands that are made upon it by the business men of the country in their present distress.” Not only should more at tention be given to trade promotion, he adds, but it should be possible to ke the more detailed economic sur- abroad that “are now so indis fi- u vey pensable because of the enormou! nancial interest we have in fore; fields.” An increase of 2,000,000 tons in the American merchant marine during the Jast fiscal year is noted in the report. ‘The number of ships on last June 30 was 28,500 of 18,250,000 gross tons compared with 28,183 of 16,324,024 gross tons on June 30, 1920. The year’s’ increase compares with 3,400,- 200 gross tons for the previous year. “As the shipping board's building program will soon ‘be completed,” the report says, “the increase in tonnage for the current fiscal year will be much smaller; indeed, if the wooden Burial will be made at the Highiand cemetery. Mrs. Brennerman is survived by her husband and one child, a small daugh ter. 1,000 Mennonite Colonists Take Homes in South YELLOW PINE} Alay Dec. 14.— One thousand Mennonites, occupying 18 cars, have arrived here from Re gina, Saskatchewan.
