and the tentative plan which VIII be
offered for consideration and discus
sion by Secretary Nagel are intended
merely to guide the conference I'm its
deliberations. According To- the pres
idcnts suggestion the national organ
iSatlon planned should be so consti-
tuted that it would give the govern
ment opportunity 20 consult the bust
ness world of the nation on all prob
lens of trade supremacy; il should
afford cooperation in the expansion of
commerce at home and abroad and
should provide a means by which gov
eminent officers charged with the en-
forcement of laws could become ac-
quainted with the complexities which
surround their administration in the
business world; ii should give advice
tc Congress in framing new statutes
affecting trade and commerce and
should aid the government in the in
telligent and Impartial development Of
domestic and foreign trade.
Follow German Plan.
In some respects the plan suggested
by the president is similar to that up
on which the German system of gov
eminent cooperation with Boards of
Trade throughout the German states
is based. but, OF course, certain modi-
fications will be necessary. The ten
tative plan of organizations which
Secretary Nagel has prepared for the
consideration OF the conference pro-
poses that each commercial organiza-
ton with 100 members shall be enti-
tied TO one representative, with one
representative for each additional 200
members. provided no constituent body
shall have more than ten representa-
tives. National trade or industrial or
CARNATIONS would have one represen.
tative for each 500 members up to p
500.
