RADICAL REWSIBNOF
TRADE UNDERTAKEN
Views Of Businessmen To Be- Sc
cured TO Determine Lines. Up
on Which Work Is Needed

WASHINGTON, May 2o--t y ssociat.
ed Press) The business public has
been asked by the department of COM
merge to assist in carrying out a radi-
cal revision and extension Of the gov
eminent 8 foreign trade statistical elias.
sifcation which has been undertake en-
by. the bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce.
Immediate suggestions are wanted as
to new classes Of goods that ought to
he shown in the statistics or new sub
divisions of the present classes.
The Immediate object of the revis-
ion is the furnishing of more detailed
and accurate information for the war
boards engaged in, licensing imports
and exports, conserving tonnage, food
stuffs and ram materials. 1t is Sec
rotary Redfeld' s idea, however, that
the statistics should be of the largest
permanent value to the nation s for
eign trade after the war, which is why
the views of business men generally
are being sought to indicate the hnes
on which the revision should be carried
out.
"In making suggestions for the ex.
port classification, the bureau of for,
eign and domestic commerce announc ed,
"the business men should bear in mind
that the statistics are based on the
description of merchandise as shown In
export declarations, fled by the ship
per with the collector Of customs at the
port of clearance. A too detailed Gas
sifcation going beyond commonly used
commercial terms must therefore be
avoided. Likewise, suggestions regard.
ing imports should be made with due
regard to the fact that statistics of
imports follow the tariff classification
and that subdivisions for statistical
purposes beyond customs requirements
are difficult to obtain and are apt to
result in inaccurate and misleading
figures"
The tariff commission, the food ad J..
m nistration, the war trade board, the
slipping board and other war bureaus
are cooperating in the effort to obtain
J.. more detailed classification and will
AXE measures to insure compliance
with the official classification.

In All, effort to reassurc the Indians
Mr., PHtney has written letters to In

to make it plain to the Indians that
the government has no intention of
seiEing their products and pointing out
that, the spreading Of ralamitOus r"

gov eminent.
MI. PutneN also emphasized the fact
that there is ample grain in the state
to provide for all needs, calling atten

among the Indians and Mexicans alike,
on which the government has placed no

m london, May 2o-(Associ-
/. - !. :, ated' .Press)--1n Ireland the
situation was quiet yesterday. and
last night after the arrest Of hun
dreds of Sim Feiners and other
radical agitators. At the confer
ence of the Irish Nationalist party
called by Dillon, their leader in
parliament the situation was con-
sidered and later Dillon issued a
manifesto in which are set forth
alleged cause for grievance which
the Irish are claimed to have and
blame is attached to the British
government for the passage of
the Man Power Law and for the
making Of wholesale arrests OF
Sim Feiners which are declared
to be part of a plan of intimida
ton to enforce CONSUMPTION.
Commenting on the Irish situ-
alton The Observer says: "A
grave step has been taken by the
British government in the making
of arrests by the hundreds who
have been taken into custody but
there were reasons just as grave
that warranted the action. 49,,
r. "Professor de Valera and other
extremists have been arrested
because. 1t has been found that
once more they have put them
selves in reasonable toucht with
the enemy. They have done this
IN >pite of the lenient treatment
they received after the last out
break in Dublin when revolt and
sabotage. prevailed.
1--WE hope that the President
and the people OF. the United
States will not be misledr by the
manifesto which has been issued
by Dillon and let their sympathies
for the Irish in. the prosecutions
which he alleges blind their rea-
son to the necessity and the just
