The creation of a Department of Com

Bureau OF Statistic. has awakened great
interest In other countries and especial
ly in England, and the appointment of
minister of commerce for the United
Kingdom is urged. The English gov
eminent has for a long time held that
the best way to assist trade was to leave
il severely alone. and TO rely upon the
foresight. skill. and energy OF British
merchants and manufacturers to main
tain its position in the worlds markets.
The feeling is rapidly growing today
however. that minister with full Cab
met rank. himself a business man ana
whose duty shall be to watch over. fos-
ter and support the vast trading and
Industrial interests OF the country,
should be appointed. The action of the
United states. which is considered the
most formidable competitor in com
merce, has added new impetus to this
movement. and several chambers Of com
merce. including the London and Hall
fax chambers. have expressed themselves
in favor OF such an appointment. At
present the board of trade attends TO
all the commercial interests in England.
This. however. is not on an equal foot
