RESOURGES 4 Nanoual C. of G Urges Larger Gongressional Appropriations ‘Washington, D, C,, Nov. 20.—In view of the peculiar opportunities af- iorded at the present time or the de- velopment of American commerce in other countries, a referendum has just been sent out by the chamber of commerce of the United States, it was announced last night, which givey the membears of the national organiza- tion an opportunity to endorse a re- port of its department of commerce committee. This recommends an in- crease in congressional appropriations for the general broadening and im- proving of the government’'s foreign commercial service, The questions are being submitted to the varioiis com- mercial bodies throughout the coun- try—mnearly 700 affiliated crganizations representing every state, the territorial possessions and the principal Ameri- can chambers of cominerce abroad. Increased Appropriations Needed. In considering increases that in its opinion should be made for the con- sular service—under the department of state—and the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce—under the department of commerce—the com- mittee, of which A. W. Shaw, of Chi- cago, is chairman, makes many spe- cific suggestions. The committee’s re- port says that, although increased ap- propriations were made in 1914 for the foreign and fleld service, when the work of the commercial attaches of the department of commerce was be- gun, no increase in appropriation was made for ‘“clearing” this information and the clerical force at Washington was curtailed instead of -increased “The result has been over-work delay, and a failure to take full advantage of { the new opportunities provided for in the increased appropriations.” Needs of the Consular Service. In the opinion of the chamber's committee the most pressing needs of the consular service, of which Wilbur |- J. Carr, is the director, are: 1. Americanization. 2. Adequate clerical assistance. 3. Promotion of certain consular agencies to the rank of consulates. 4. The establishment of new consul- ates. 5. Adequate inspection of the ser- vice. The report gives a list of cities in which the United States government maintains consular agencies, where in the committee’s opiunion, there should be consulates. It recommends the es- DIRECTORY WILL GO TO PRESS NOV. 30th. TO insure the entry of your number and name in the next book be certain to ar- range for telephone ser+ vice before that date.

Finally, a fuller publica- tion of statistics of internal commerce relative to the movements of trade is urged. The committee recommends the resumption of the publication ot such statistics, intiated several years ago and sugpended, owing to the fail- ure of congress to continue the appro- priation. Study of Banking and Tariffs. The committee recommends the in- par- ticularly of investment possibilitles and of railroad rates and other means of inland. transportation. It recom- mends also expert study of banking and tariffs. In this field it also urges an appropriation for the collection and exploitation of samples, the ap- pointment of geographical experts at ‘Washington who shall inform business men regarding climate, living condl- tions and similar information in addi- tion to.data strictly commercial; the distribition of American literature abroad, and a radical change in ths attitude of the government toward the traveling and living expenses of its consuls, commercial agents and com- mercial attaches. More Liberal Traveling Allowances. The present statutory limitation of traveling expenses to five dollars a day exclusive of railroad transporta- tion, says the committee's report, “is frequently inadequate and results in discrimination and unfairness to em- ployees. There are many cases when government officials, in the consular service and in the fleld service of the Department of Commerce, are oblig- ed to pay considerable amount out of [TCHY RED PINPLES SPREAD ON FACE Large as Boils, Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. ltching Stopped.

The importance of a man’s position, which is a consideration in determining his availability for new employment is always judged in part by the salary which he receives.” Higher Consular Salaries. A list of salaries paid to grade consuls at posts Wwhere cost of living is very high shows some startling things. In cities where lower tha competitors of Great Britain and Germany for the world’s markets the following figures of salary show how handicapped the American consul is: Eng. Ger. U. 8. ..$4,865 $5,783 $3,600 4,865 3,600 4,879 2,600 Petrograd 5,459 8,151 3,500 Batum .. 3,893 4,392 2,600 With regard to salaries of com- mercial attaches and consuls the committee’'s recommendation is: “The salary should be commen- surate with the importance of the position and a special fund provided, or some method adopted, for adjust- ing the difference in living expenses among officers of the United States of equal rank, to meet cases in which living expenses are materially in ex- cess of the average.” Not Enough for Latin America. Special consideration is given to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of which Dr. Edward E. Pratt is the chief, in the committee’s report to the matter of promotion of commerce in Latin America. During he present year a congressional ap- Vladivostok RRosario ....

It is generally be- lieved that with the close of the Eu- ropean war, we may be able to hold against European competitors a good- ly proportion of the markets for American products which we have now gained in Latin America coun- tries. The committee believes that the appropriation of $75,000 for 1916 should be increased. More Commercial Attaches Needed. There are now ten commercial at- taches accredited to American bassies or legations in’ foreign coun- tries. “The new service has already proved of value and its extension to other countries is strongly recom- mended.” The countries to which commercial attaches are are: Great Britain, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Australia, China. The committee recommends that the attaches now assigned to Aus- tralia be transferred to one of the fo!- em- lowing countries and that new at- taches be appointed to cover others: the * United States is one of the strongest | accredited' Scandinavia, Spain, i Japan and Turkey. Advocated- where the commercial interests of the United States are not sufficiently important to justify the appointment of an attache or where the United States maintains no lega- Trade Commissioner: In countr ! tion, or where the commercial repre- ‘semauve is to cover a number of countries, the committee recommends the use of the title “Trade Commis- sioner.” These officials, tq perform the same services as commercial at- taches. the committee believes should be appointed to Australia, New Zeal- and, South Africa, British India, Greece and the Balkan states, | Indies and Central America. Civil Service Desirable. In its report of 1913, the committee recommended that the commercial at- taches should be appointed and pro- moted under the civil service law| Al- though this recommendation was not adopted, the secretary of commerce has seen fit to apply an examination system in selecting appointees. ‘“The committee now renews {ts recom- mendation that commercial attaches should be appointed and promoted under the civil service law, and it be- lieves that the same sound principle should be applied to trade commis- sioners, if appointed, and to commer- cial agents.” ‘What the National Chamber Has Ac- complished. Besides Mr. Shaw the members of the National Chamber committee on the Department of Commerce are: Walter H. Cottingham, Cleveland; C. Herbert DecFosse, Worcester, Mass.; Philip B- Fauke, St, Louis; E. Oliver Fowlkes. Mobile; Edwin F. Gay, Cam- bridge, Mass.; Charles C. Jenks, De- troit; Charles A. McCormick, New Brunswick, N. J.; Alfred H. Mulliken, Chicago; Lewis W, Parker, Green- ville, 8. C.; Calvin H. Smyth, Phila gelphla; and A. A. Young, Ithaca, N. Two years ago, the special commit- tee of the United States recommend- ing an extension of the activities of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, made a report which ws submitted to a referendum vote of the national chamber. This report was based in the main on a letter of the secretary of gommerce to the presi- dent proposing a re-organization of the bureau. The recommendations of the committee were adopted by an al- | most unanimous vate. The results of this referendum were submitted to congress by secretary of commerce and the national chamber, and in large part, the appropriations recom- mended were provided.
