son the government is not giving the
names of foreign business men who
make inquiries. but 1T keeps such ad
dresses and supplies them only con-
fidentially to such of our factories as
could make the goods needed. This
plan is found to be a profitable one and
has led to the sale of many American
products. Last year about 1900 such
opportunities were published, and since
the bureau began this work more
than 5000 separate items. each of
which represented an opening for the
sale of certain machines. have been

In addition the government Is sending
out a great deal Of confidential informa-
ton. It has its experts scattered over the
world looking up trade opportunities. and
is sending forth confidential suggestions
for the special pushing OF certain manu-
features. Among those recently sent were
some as to wa-ships for the Argentine
