By FREDERIcK J. HAsKIN


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 10
Americas position in world trade to-
day is largely due to an organization
which in Washington is becoming ia
miliarly known as "KIein's Young
Men" It's official name is the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce of
the department of commerce. The di-
rector of this organization is Julius
Klein; hence its nickname.
The present bureau of foreign AMI
domestic commerce was an outgrowth
of the old bureau of statistics, which
in turn was one of the oldest of all
governmental bureaus in Washington.
The government began to collect and
publish its statistics of foreign trade
and navigation as early as 1890
Throughout almost the whole of the
nineteenth century mis- work was en-
trusted to the bureau of statistics,
which was then an adjunct of the
treasury department. In 1908 the de-
partment of commerce and labor was
created, and the bureau of statistics
was transferred to the new ministry.
In 1912 it was joined to the bureau of
manufactures, and the coalition was
called the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce.
The gathering of trade statistics
continued to be the chief function o.
the bureau, but gradually it has been
taking on new duties calculated to
stimulate American foreign trade
With the outbreak of the European
war in 1914 the eyes of American pro
ducers turned more seriously toward
foreign commerce. The government
established the office of commercial
attache at our principal embassies and
legations abroad. These attaches
were appointees of the department OF
commerce, and they were directed
from the first by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
Still, until the tina Herbert Hoover
become secretary Of commerce, now al
most two years ago, the bureau ha
contented itself with the collection
of trade information This was use
full to the commerce of the Unitea
States, and it warranted the expensi
of collection, but nevertheless it was
not of much value to the small manu-
facturer. He could not afford to main
tain the export organization that was
necessary 10 eudDIe Hllu 10 take du
vantage of the opportunities whier
the Government laid before him
What he needed was actual exper
help that not only brought him an.
the foreign business together but en-
abled him to land it.
Almost Considered
New Institution.
Mr.. Hoover saw in the origina
charter of the department of com
merce the authority to build that de
partment into an aerial foreign-trade
getting body. The logical bureau t,
handle such a task was the bureau o

to this bureau the task was entrusted.
The results of two years of effort have
so transformed this bureau that it has
become virtually a new government
institution. Certainly it is one of the
most outstanding administrative de-
velopments in Washington since Presi-
dent Harding took office.
For one thing, in size it is rapidly
eclipsing all other branches of the de-
partment of commerce. Two years
ago the bureau occupied only a suite
of offices in the twelve-story COM
merce building in Washington. To-
day it fills almost the entire building.
1t is its spirit and character, however,
which are most changed. The old bu-
reau collected and published its sta
tistics in a scholarly and unhurried
way, but the new one embodies pep,
go-getter-ness, and ali the other quail
ties of modern American business.
To bring about the transformation
Secretary Hoover reached out to
Buenos Aires and took therefrom the
American commercial attache, Julius
Klein, and installed him as chief OF
| the bureau. Although Mr.. Klein Is
| Phi. d. from Harvard, former stu
dent in foreign universities and q
former assistant professor at Har
ward, he is no patriarch having yet to
celebrate his 37the birthday. He is az
! expert in Latin-American economies
AS he has built up the bureau he has
/ put in men of his own type.
At present the bureau consists Ct
two main parts: the foreign ser
vice-commercial attaches and tradS
| commissioners in % principal trads
4 centers-and domestic, with district
! and cooperative offices of the bureaus
/ in most of the chief American cities
/ These divisions put together form tbs
! information-gather and distribution
! service.
But it is one thing to gather the
necessary information and put it al
| the disposal of American business, and
quite another thing to get business t.
take advantage of the information
Aud here it is where the chief in
novation of the present administre
| ton of the bureau c,mes in.

Corn Champions

-Four gold, six silver and four bronze medals
awarded to farmers of Wayne county for ex-
cellence in corn growing, record far excelling
any previous one here, demonstrates the high
agricultural rank Of the county in Indiana.
The five acre corn club contests are incen-
tive for farmers to study the cultivation of corn
for the purpose of increasing the yield per acre.
In each case the successful winners adapted
methods best suited in their judgment to pro-
duce maximum results.
Experiments of this kind are similar to those
which a scientist carries on his laboratory to
discover new methods and reasons for successes
or failures. The modern farmer applies on his

Musings For The Evening
THE CLOSING YEAR

The year is drawing to a close,
And pessimists will squawk
About its multitude of woes.
Dugubrious their talk
They bark back to the public ills
And what we have gone through,
And give handwriting folk the chills,
As thankless fools e'er do.
The year is drawing to close,
But, when you chalk the sum,
You'll find that all our greatest woes
Were those that didn't come.
Headline says-'Fake Money BUYS
Good Rum" but we do believe that the
rum nowadays is as bad as any money
you could possibly pay for it.
The Ivory Brothers, acrobatic head
balancers in vaudeville, We're hired to
participate in an entertainment on a
Long Island estate for the pleasure of
weekend guests.
After they had completed their act.
they were invited by the host, a we'll
known millionaire, to look the place
over.
They wandered about among the
magnificent rooms and marveled
greatly:
What do you think of this soft old
bloke?" asked one. How did he get
all this? I'll bet he can't even stand
on his hands"
