EXPORT STATISTICS

Promptly.

American export statistics are now
thoroughly trustworthy. declared Sec
rctary William G.. Rcdficld. OF the De-

yesterday before the annual meeting
United States. His statement was in
reply TO the recently widely published
charges that the foreign trade statis-
ICES published bv the department OF

misleading.
Mr.. Redfield took the position that in
the past the principal defects in the ex-
port statistics resulted from the in
adequacy of entries furnished by cx-
porters. which supplied the department
statistcians with their only basis for
compiling the figures complained Of
New regulations, however. have re-
Gently corrected the most crying abuse
which was the failure to obtain for all
shipments export declarations prepared
by the shipper himself or his agent the
Secretary said.
Such regulations are now in effect,
no vessel being allowed to clear with
out declaration having been filed or
hond given for ITS filing within a few
days of the actual sailing of the ves-
sci, said MIR. Rcdficld. Defects in the
import statistics, which have resulted
CHIEFLY from the lack of careful sta
tistical cxaminatio before the entry
was accepted by the customs authori-
ties, have also been corrected, he
stated. The staff of experienced entry
examiners has been increased. and the
chief cause of error, which is failure to
differentiate between two articles du-
table under the same tariff provision,

cal reports. to meet the needs of bust
