ALEXANDER
NEVER SOUGHT OFFICE

It's not q political candidate who
always attains q high government
ONCE. In some >ingtances 1t may be
true, but not in the case Of Secretary
OF Commerce Alexander.
Secretary Alexander has risen in the
ranks OF public life from mayor Of
Gallatin, Mo-, to q member Of Con-
gress from the mule state" and
finally to President Wilson's cabinet,
and during that time has never been
a candidate for a political Office. The
Secretary disclosed xthis last night at
q meeting at the University Club.
Mr.. Alexander, however, dwelt
briefly on his career and told of the
work Of the Department of Commerce.
He paid q high tribute to the heads
Of the departments under him.
Belief was expressed by the Secre-
tary that it may be necessary for the
financial aid to, Europe. There never
will be a proper balance In the world"
he said, unless Europe Is rehabili-
tated and that will not be accom-
plished until it gets to producing and
exporting. And that process necessi-
tates credit"
In describing the activities Of the
department. Secretary Alexander told
Of how accurate trade information is
obtained on which foreign countries
can rely.
A paper on "The Economic Impor-
lance OF the Scientific Work Of the
Government" was read by DR.. Ed
ward b. Rosa of the bureau Of stand
ards. Claude N. Bennett was chair
man OF the meeting.
