EXTENSION OF FOREIGN TRADE

Washington, April 30.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
The business public was asked today
by the Department of Commerce to
assist in carrying out a radical revi-
sion and extension of the govern
ment's foreign trade statistical class
ifcation which has been undertaken
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce.
Immediate suggestions are wanted
as to new classes of goods that ought
to be shown in the statistics for new
The immediate object of the revi-
sion is the furnishing of more de-
tailed and accurate information for
the board engaged in licensing inn
ports and exports, conserving ton
mage, foodstuffs and raw materials.
1t is Secretary Redfeld's idea, how
ever, that the statistics should be of
the largest permanent value to the
nations foreign trade after the war,
which is why the views of business
men generally are being sought to in
dicate the lines on which the revision
should be carried out.
"In making suggestions for the ex-
port classification" the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce an
nounced, "the business man should
bear in mind that the statistics are
based on the description of merchan-
disc as shown in export declarations,
filed by the shipper with the collec-
tor of customs at the port of clear
ance. A too detailed classification 60
ing beyond commonly used CONNER
cial terms must therefore be avoided
Likewise, suggestions regarding i'm
ports should be made with due regard
to the fact that statistics of imports
follow the tariff classifications and
the subdivisions for statistical pur,
poses beyond customs requirements
are difficult to obtain and are apt tc
result in inaccurate and misleading
figures"
The Tariff Commission, the Fooc
Administration, the War Trade
Board, the Shipping Board and Other
war bureaus are cooperating in the
effort to obtain a more detailed class
ifcation and will take measures tt
insure compliance with the officia
classification.

ALLIED WAR CONFERENCE

Washington, April 25.-(Corra-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
Versailles chosen as the meeting
place for the allied war conference,
which is to weld the armies and nav
les of the nations, arrayed against
the Central Powers, into compact
fighting bodies, is a spot rich in his
toric events. Through it's lights and
shadows and the vast halls of the
stately palace of Louis XIV, have
walked men and women whose names
will live as long as history itself.
Here have been held solemn confer
ences at which great wars have been
ended and the very fate of nations
and states determined.
There in 1889 Marie Antoinette
faced the wild mobs of the French
Revolution, there in 1871 the father of
Emperor William was crowned Ger
man emperor and here France was
forced to sign the capitulation of
Paris.
Significant too is the recollection
that the site where American repre-
sentatives now are cooperating with
England and France there was signed
in 1882 the preliminary treaty end
ing the American Revolution.
In the magnificent palace erected
at an estimated cost of 100000,
there were born Louis XIV, Louis XVI,
and Louis XVII, as well as several of
Frances ablest military leaders.

ALASKA WILL SHOW DECREASE
 COMING CENSUS

Recently word came from Washing ton to the effect that the government was starting the preliminary steps to- ward taking the national census for 1920 Most of the people in Alaska, or at least many of the Old-timors, have been counted here in the terri tory on two previous oCcasions-in 1900 and again in 1910.
 Since the big influx of people to Alaska, in the late '90s until the re- cent stampede to the outside this year. Alaska has been a country of peculiar and contrary economic condi- tions. For instance, it is believed that the census of 1900 showed about as many people, or maybe few more. than did the census of ten years later. Tn the first instance the census was taken while the wild stampede was on to Nome and many were listed as Alaskans who had to be taken out of the country that same fall at govern ment expense. In 1910, to avoid this unfair count, the census was taken in the winter and as result a great
The Cordova daily times., 1918-10-01

many Alaskans who had business, and were temporarily on the outside, were not included in the Alaska count. The methods in making the enumeration workwed like the farmers coon trap and gave Alaska the worst of it on both occasions.
 Should the war continue until year from this fall and the count should b" taken as it was in 1910, com mencing January 1, 1920, the result will probably show that the territory has a smaller number of people than it had in either 1900 or 1910.
 But leaving the count of the people aside. the growth in production of tn" territory will be truly phenomenal con sidcring that the population has not increased When the 1900 census was taken the territory had just com menCed it's big era of placer prOduC- tion which was to lead all other ter ritOrial businesses for a decade or more. Not until after the 1910 census was taken did the copper industry start in any substantial way, but with in the next few years 1t was destined to lead the production of gold. In the meantime the fishing indus try had kept plodding along until at the next census it will by far lead all other sources of wealth.
 During the twenty years there has been constant development and in crease in wealth production but 1t would seem that for some reason or other Alaska can not show a cores bonding increase in white population.

A penny stick of candy or iollipOp in America Is a bun in Belgian and France. Those are the countries where there are hungry children who need buns worse than you need candy.

 IT American children say NO to that lollipop that thcy used to eat every day the man who makes the loIllpop out of sugar will tell the man wno aclls the sugar that he d""s not neci s) much mex. time; the man who selli i>' sugar will tell the r.an who brings the suCr from tue other countries in ships that l., ne"Cn' . bother |" .,ad up so mu"h snE2r nc trip: h In&n who prU.
