BAYERSON OIL WORKS~ COLUMBIA 5228 | GGG WASHI FOREIGN SERVIGE MEASURE PUSHED Senate May Vote This Week on Department of Com- merce’s Graded Service. The Jones-Hoch bill to give perma- nent status to the foreign service of the Department of Commerce will b brought up for consideration in the Senate before the close of the present week, if Senator Jones of Washing- ton, chairman of the commerce com- mittee, has his way The bill already has passed the House and is now on the Senate calendar. Once the bill can be brought before the Senate for consideration it is ex- | pected that it will command a large ? majority. ‘ The bill would provide a graded and classified foreign service for the De- partment of Commerce, patterned |after that provided in existing law | for the Department of State. It does not involve additional appropriations, {but merely gives statutory standing |to u service which has been author- ized by the inclusion of legislative language in the appropriation bills for many years. The measure has jmflm; support in business circles and understood to have the approval of the White House. | | Shows Big Return. | The Foreign Service of the Depart- [ ment of Commerce while numerically small—there are only about 120 offices | distributed mong 42 foreign stations | —bulks large as a promotive agency | and, 10 sentiment in b - ively small amount pro- | cress annually for its maintenance, ' ™Directing the work of this foreign service Is a group of experts in Wash- ington—all men of practical commod- ity experience who keep in touch with domestic conditions, and direct the forelgn service from the standpoint of the needs of American producers and exporters. Under the guidance of practical commodity experts here in Washington, the foreign staff of the Bureau gathers from 42 countries, economic and commercial information of value to American business. Includes Consuls’ Services. In addition, under the law of the Department of Commerce is made the distributing agent for cousular re- | ports: so that in addition to its own staff the Department has the valuable | services of some 400 consuls scattered |all over the world. While these con- suls, by reason of the tremendous amount of other work imposed upon them do not have the time to follow up economic and commercial affairs in the manner that this is done by the foreign officers of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, they are valuable as a collaborating agency, and having become increasingly more valuable since they have had the ad- | vantage of expert guidance under the | recently organized Commodity Divi- sions menioned previously. In this general connection atten- tion should be called to an executive | order promulgated by the President {on April 4, 1924, which still furthér creased the value of the combined | services to American business men | by ordering a closer co-operation be- | tiveen all agents of this Government { 1road. Under this order there is a free interchange of information be- tween all agents of the Government in foreign lands, and every effort is made to eliminate needless duplica- on of work.

The department publishes Commerce Re- ports, which is a subscription paper issued weekly, and which includes all current information gathered by the foreign service—both consular and commerce service—from every quar- ter of the world. During the last four world-wide cable service, w! ,upon every important area at least once each month, has been organized Wherever possible {iovernment com- munication facilities are employed, and special arrangements have been made with many private cable com- panies to advance this commercial in- | formation to the United States at a | minimum of cost. Cabled Information {13 made available immediatel ress and to all American exporters interested in such commercial intel- ligence. In addition, the department issues numerous special circulars, bulletins and press statements and distributes them under a plan which is both economical and which forwards the | information to those who can actual- ly use it in selling American products abroad. Other Problems Involved. The study of any export problem, whether the given commodity be agricultural or manufactured, must be closely linked with the investiga- tion of a multitude of fundamental topics, such as general economic sta- bility, standard of living, foreign tariffs, foreign commercial laws, for- elgn transportation conditions, port facilities, packing, finance, etc. To handle these more technical phases of trade promotion work, and to maintain permanent records of com- mercial intellizence, the bureau main- tains a group of technical division: namely, finance and investment, tariff: commercial law and commercial in- telligence. There is a close ; tion between these tech | and the commodity div! | fore mentioned, | the export problem is dealt with in its entirety. including not only the mere fact that there is a market for a certain American product in a cer- tain locality, but the further consid- eration of the practicality of seliing, as checked through a study of finance, tariffs, commercial laws and other | similar important contingent factors. The wide interest in export prob- lems, including the movement to stimulate the exportation of farm surpluses has gained for the Jowes: Hoch bill a measure of support from the farm areas.

The Associated Charities and the Citizens' Rellef Assoclation—Washing- ton's two city-wide and non-sectarian agencies for family care and relief— vesterday voted to issue an emergency ppeal for $11,000 ““to enable these nily welfare 'socleties to carry on their work for the poor and distressed to the end of their fiscal year, Septem- ber 30, 1926 This action was taken at a meeting of the directors of the two organiza- tions in joint session. Fifteen of the directors volunteered to raise ‘‘some- how or other, a contribution of $365, or the equivalent of a membership in the Dollara-Day Club, as a start toward the special emergency appeal.” Secretary Walter S. Ufford of the Associated Charitles read a statement to the meeting showing a large in- crease in the amount of relief expendi- tures this year as the main basis for a shortage of funds to complete the year's work. It shown similar increase in rellef demands had been experienced in other large cities throughout the country. Other Directors Notified. After a full discussion of the. facts presented 15 of the directors an- nounced their intention to help. At the same time they authorized the sec- ify other members of both ds not present of such action and requested their similar co-operation. It then was voted unanimously to fssue to the Washington public the emergency appeal, set forth, in part, as follows: “That the attention of the Washing- ton public be called, llndl‘ to the se- - — s growers associations of the South have joined with such associations as the Rice Growers' Association of Cali- fornia in giving it indorsement. Some idea of the broad services rendered by | this service may be gained from the fact that the commerce foreign serv- ice handled more than 2,000,000 co: mercial inquiries during the last fis vear, many of which were direct] sponsible for very large gains American business abroad. re- in WASHINGTON, D.

Stress Needs for Funds. “With these facts in mind an emergency appeal should be issued to obtain, at least, an additional $11,000 to enable these family welfare socie- ties to carry on their work for the poor and distressed, to the end of their fiscal year, September 30, 1926.” Coleman Jennings, as chairman of the Board of the Associated Charities, presided at the meeting, and other members of that board present were Mrs. Anne Archbold, Dwight Clark,| Judge Willilam H.
