this metropolis of northern Portugai
which is the distributing center for
the principal manufacturing sectloh
of that country. Here is one of the
hest onportunities in the old world
for the development of American
trade.
During the war there was very
great increase in the amount OF Amer
ican goods imported at Oporto. This
resulted in wider knowledge or
American products on the part or the
importers, thus stimulating the IN
terest in commercial intercourse with
the United states.
It is regretted by officials of the
state and Commerce departments that
this increased importation of Amerl-
can goods and interest in American
trade has apparently not resulted IN
any appreciable increase in the ef-
forts of American exporters and man
ufacturers to develop the possibilities
of the market and to secure perma-
nent outlet there for their products.
In fact, the interest in American trade
seems more keen on the part of the
buyers than on that of the sellers.

Further along this typical Washing

Controller W. W. Warwick of the
Treasury has the distinction of being
perhaps the only official of the gov
ernment who occupies an office which
has not been moved in eighty-five
years.
That is the judges belief. and he
ought to know. because he has been
in the Treasury Department a long
time. and has an intimate knowledge
of the history of the great depart
ment and it's building.
Situated in the southeast corner OF
the edifce, on the second floor, the
office of the controller of the Treas
ury has held it's position there year
after year. decade after decade. While
other offices in the building were
switched hither and thither, this of

ler's office commands a vista unique
in the world. Out of the north win
dow to the office the controllers for
nearly a hundred years back have
look down between the historic row
of great columns and the building

it is beautiful.
There are many who regard the
Treasury building as among the most
beautiful structures in the National
Capital Among these are Judge
Warwick. who regrets the tendency
shown in recent years to distort the
original low lines of the massive
structure by additions to the roof.
