INDICATIONS POINT TO RECORD
TRAVEL YEAR FOR AMERICANS
State Department Passport Figures Show
Total of 100000 Will Be
Issued In 1880.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Issues of passports by the Depart
ment of State are breaking all records.
They indicate that 1880 will see the
largest number ever made out IN any
one year. At the present rate the grand
total for the year will be we'll over
100000. The 1929 total of l96,930 pass
ports was the biggest up to that time.
The April, 1890, number of 32,O76 is the
heaviest passport volume ever reached
during the fourth month OF calendar
year.
There is more than meets the eye In
these State Department statistics. They
mean that Americans are on the threSh-
old of an unprecedentedly heavy travel
year. That fact on its part would seem
to demonstrate that Uncle Sans sons
and daughters have plenty of money for
the most expensive form of entertain
ment. namely, globe -trotting. The legiti-
mately deducible conclusion is that the
American people, especially the wealthy
classes, who constitute the bulk OF the
ocean-going community, are bulls ana
not bears" on the economic outlook
They appear to be in mood to emulate
the Marines and "See the world" be-
cause they discern nothing on the eco
nomic horizon to keep them at nome.
Handsome Source Of Revenue.
The steel-engraved booklets, which
are the form In which American pass
ports are now issued, have become
very handsome source of revenue for
the Government. For the fiscal year
1929 passport fees aggregated $2.087, 790.
1t is estimated that receipts from the
same sources for the fiscal year 1890
will be at least 10 per cent more than
the preceding years total. In addition
to passport fees, the State Department
collects substantial sums abroad from
foreigners, who require to have their
own passports viSaed by American
consular officers before foreigners may
enter this country. There is still one
other important source of income, viz.
fees on invoices of goods exported to
the United States from abroad. When
the American foreign service budget,
as it did until recently, amounted to
something like $12,000,0O0, State De-
partment revenue of all kinds covered
close to $4,000 900 of 1t. Passports ac-
counted for roundly one-fifth of that
total.
Table Shows Increase.
How Yankee travel overseas has been
steadily increasing is shown by the
number Of passports issued annually in

Washington. The following is a tabula-
ton covering the seven years between
1929 and 1929.
The BIGGEST human in passport reys

The biggest jump in passport revenue
came in the year 192l-508 per cent
over the previous year. America was
at that time just beginning to swing
back into normally after the World
War. The Coolidge prosperity" years
of 1924 and 1925 witnessed increases in
passport income over the respective
preceding years of 14l2 and 28l2 per
cent From July to November, 1929
during the current fiscal year,, the
rate OF increase in passport fees was
close to per cent.
Fee Has Been Increased.
On July l, 1920, the fee for issue of
passport was increased from 81 to 50
(the fee for execution OF application
remaining at 81, and the limit Of period
of validity of q passport was extended
from Is months to two years. On
March 3. 1921. Congress by joint reso-
luton terminated wartime passport
legislation restricting travel of Ameri-
can citizens. Since that date 1t has
not been obligatory, so far as the Gov
eminent OF the United States Is con-
cerned. for American citizens to have
passports either to leave or enter this
country. Two of the foreign countries
which do not require American citizens
to present passports are the neighbour
ing republics of Mexico and Cuba.
Foreign governments are coming
more and more to push for American
tourist business instead of leaving 1t to
privately owned steamship companies,
hotels and travel agencies to incite our
people to cross the oceans. Countries
which have state-owned railroads are
especially active In drumming up
American trade. The travellers of the
United States now going overseas in
steadily increasing numbers have be-
come in many cases indispensable
factors in the national prosperity of
the lands they visit. If our spenders
were to boycott France for a single
Summer the French purse would feel 1t
TO the tune of q billion francs, more
or less.
