A EUROPEAN NEED.
Most Of the Countries Are Lacking
in Respect of Chambers of
Commerce.

The German chamber of commerce in
Brussels, Belgium, in its annual report
lately published, has reproduced ard in
dorsed a treatise on the above subject
written by DR.. H.. Roder, a German
writer on economics, writes United
States Deputy Consul General Hanauer
from Frankfort, Germany. He says:
Germany, which stands next to Great
Britain as the greatest exporting coun-
try in articles of manufacture, is nof
properly represented abroad, lacking fol
its commercial interests in foreign coun,
tries those institutions emanating from
the home government which furnish in
formation to the German merchant al
home, which show him new opportu-
mites in foreign markets, and connect
him with other nations in amicable trade
relations.
Though all political parties in Ger
many agree that chambers of commerce
abroad are useful, yet the reichstag ina
tional ~legislature) has not yet given
practical aid to the project Of establish
ing them.
Austria, of all nations, was first in
recognizing the utility Of chambers Of
commerce., end as early as 1870 es!ab-
lished a chamber of commerce at Con-
stantinople. The .stimulus given there
by to Austrian exports in leyantine
countries has caused the Austrian
reichsrath Qegislature) to establish
more of these institutions abroad
Great Britain has 100 chambers Of
commerce in her colonies, and 30 in
foreign countries. France has 20, and
purposes to create additional ones in
South America and eastern Asia. Hol-
land has seven, Spain, three; Italy and
Belgium, each two; Russia has Il in
Paris, and a commercial embassy in
Morocco, and the United States has four.
"As early as 1886 the German govern
ment was petitioned by 36 chambers OF
commerce and manufacturers associa-
lions to establish such institutions
abroad. Similar petitions have been in
troduced since, bat were rejected by the
government. which pointed to the cor
sular representatives. and the few com
mercial attaches in service as sufficient
for aid to Gerraany's export trade"
