Such work in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce rests on the | belief that long-term problems of the type listed above must be faced if in- dustry is to be put back on a sound * footing and started forward once more i along the pathway of a reasonably | assured progress, Roper said. i The established functions of the re- | 'o'gamzkd bureau in the promotion of | { trade at home and abroad will be car- ¢ried on as usual, the Secretary de- clared, but more attention will be given ! to studies which may assist in the de- f termination of broad economic policies, helpful not only to business men, but to_the Government as well. In the fleld of long-range planning, | as well as in supervising the more gen- eral services of the bureau, Mr. Roper said Dr. Thorp will work in the closest | co-operation with the recently organ ized business advisory and plannin council for the department. Dr. Thorp's training and experience, according to Mr. Roper. seem to provide him with ideal qualifications for this work.
