outline of your work in a nutshell"
1T Is dithcult to put the Department Of Commerce
and Labor in a nutshell" the secretarys reply.
"A year ago were employing more men than
there soldiers in the United States army. That
was when the in full swing. We had last
year over 1900 enumerators and also a temporary
force of clerks numbering 5000 1000. In addi-
ton the have a dozen different bureaus
here Washington, each Of which has its work.
This department. which originally organized
to deal with commerce and labor and especially with
the corporations and the business interests of the
United States. has taken in many Of the bureaus of
the other departments The bureau OF manufactures,
for instance, is an offspring of the Department of
State. 1t is devoted to the development Of do
nestle and foreign trade and it publishes information
gathered by the eonsuls who under the State de-
partment We have also own special agents who
travel the world looking up trade and trade
openings. They gathering information TO GER
tain classes of exports, reporting the demand for
them in each country and telling how they should be
handled aud marketed. We publish daily reports
from other countries to the opportunities offered
for American manufactures, and in time shall
have corps of such experts going from trade center
trade in the United States and advising the
people how and where TO market their products
abroad
Our Foreign Trade.
In the same way we have inherited the bureau
of statistics from the Department Of the Treasury
This has also to do with foreign commerce and,
together with the bureau of manufactures II gives
a vast amount Of valuable information to Uncle
Sans business and how it may be spread to every
part of the globe. With other things are now
making a directory of the names Of business houses
which handle imported merchandise in all foreign
countries. The material for this has already been
gathered, and the book win be published some time
this year.
"As to what foreign trade Is the bureau OF
