 1ust what the information here of s.raa consists of may be indicated best ar s, reference to some of it's sources and by mention of few subjects under mbich the material is subclassified:
 official Information-The division hoe undertaken to chart all the fed oyol official bodies that have point of contact with demobilization or re construction, and to possess first-hand, ,ntodate information as to accom- nIishments and plans of each such body ar bureau. Furthermore, through it's 4feId service" branching out into 1884, 0O0 state, county, and community or gapizations, including some 1000 wom- en's units, the division is enabled to maintain direct contact with every sort of state and local reconstruction activity in the land. A digest is kept 0f state reconstruction news.

 Domestic Business Background-The division has official contact with all the war administration boards, bu- reaus and investigation commission, as well as with the federal departments themselves. Thus it has access to great deal of statistical and other unpublished information, ranging all the way from domestic prices data and production estimates, wage data, labor supply problems; to notes on foreign production, the foreign labor and emigration situation, foreign mar ket conditions, and finance. The divi- sion has advices as to which industries and which sections of our country are picking up and making their recon struction readjustments the more prOmisingly. Of course such a range Of information, covering physical re- sources and available goods, the money and credit outlook, relative price and price tendencies, foreign prospects, and the trend of actual business develop ment as represented by reports of current projects and undertakings throughout the United States-such a survey must tend to yield more relia- ble impressions as to what the fu- fure may be expected to bring than can be derived from the more restrict ed basis of judgment of the average business group.
 Devices of Clipping Bureaus. Public Opinion and General Infor- mation-The division has it's own clip png bureau, supplemented by the service of the chief commercial clip ping bureaus Thus it is enabled to Nit practically everything in public print that has bearing upon any phase of reconstruction.
