NEW CABINET DEPARTMENT

The opposition to the bill establish ing a department of commerce and in- dustry. as revealed by the debates in the senate, apparently proceeds from the general impression that the meas ure is too ambitious in its provisions, that it proposes to gather in too many bureaus, many of which have a very indistinct relation to commerce.
 The need of larger governmental recognition of the interest of com. merce, that have now reached colossal proportions, does not appear to have been seriously challenged in either house. There is disposition to ac. eeed to what appears to be public de. mand for a federal department that shall concern itself directly with all affairs that pertain to the development and protection of our commerce, not only foreign but interstate, and that shall not only seek to enlarge our markets but to safeguard the interests of shippers. AS our commerce is vast in its notifications it follows that a number of existing bureaus might properly be transferred from other de- partments with which they have only . remote relation and consolidated un. der the new department.
