and rarely has 1t been done better.

astonishingly luminous both appear

his works manifested beauty. The
Spring landscape here, with its Young
meadow grass, its budding and bios

spirit and aspect from the canvas by
the same artist bequeathed to the
Corcoran Gallery by the late George
M. Oyster, jr.. entitled The Blossom

transcribed the feeling as we'll as the
aspect OF that season of the year when
all nature experiences resurrection.
And equally well in "Old Church,

surprising beauty Of Autumn, weaving
into most lovely tapestry of color

agreement between the State and Com
merce Departments in 1888. AS a
result American consular officials
abroad took over the performance of
most Of these duties of a practica,
nature, leaving to the Commerce De-
partment men only the job of preparing
purely economic reports.
THE need for relieving the heavily
burdened personnel with additional
commercial attaches and trade COM
missioners has been summarized by
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce Err
nest G. Draper, as follows:
The natural forces Of recovery
coupled with aggressive salesmanship
methods of other nations throughout
the world, are making almost newt
able the ultimate expansion OF the
foreign service of the Department OF
Commerce. II we are to carry for
ward by means OF our reciprocal trade
agreement program, the principle Of
unrestricted world trade, as opposed
to the narrow barter system Of certain
countries, we need more men abroad
to take advantage of the favorable
positions won for us in our new trade
agreements, and to break down, wher-
ever possible, the harmful effect OF
foreign restrictions upon our COM
merce.
Most important, perhaps, Is the
need to counteract the effect as far as
American trade Is concerned, of the
aggressive campaigns for trade now
being carried forward by other gov
ernments. In many instances their
export production is directly competi-
tive with what America has to sell
abroad, and If we are merely to hold
our present place in world trade, let
alone increase 1t, We must meet our
competitors on their own ground.
Foreign trade is an essential part
OF American prosperity, and by pros
perlty I mean prosperity for Amer

man theory Of regional, planned econ
omy implementing her four-year plan
for self-sufficiency.
in South America, Central and
Eeatern Europe and the Far East,
Germany is carrying forward the
banner Of barter. Wherever there
are raw materials to be purchased or
a market to be exploited. there will
be found German agents, trading
arms, machinery. Office equipment and
chemicals for wheat, cotton, coffee
rubber and dozens of other raw
stuf1s which the Reich needs for her
industry and nourishment of her
population.
From Japan the United States is
confronted with a different type Of
competition, based not upon barter,
but upon price differential. Japane.e
textiles-cotton and wool-sold cheaply
present us with a problem throughout
Latin America, with which she is
strengthening her ties. In Costa
Rica, for example, she is assisting
the development of cotton industry,
the output of which she intends to
take en- toto in exchange for in
creasing exports of her own products
t. that country. Both American
agriculture and industry will suffer
from the transaction.
British competition is being felt
throughout South America, particu-
larly in Argentina, where she has
preferential exchange agreement
which diminishes the means Of pay
ment for American exports to that
country. A recently negotiated trade
agreement with Canada is tending to
amplify her preference in q market
which has been the greatest for United
States products.
All OF these countries maintain high
ly co-ordinated systems of trade pro-
motion.
PERHAPS the most modern foreign
trade organization In the world
today is that maintained by Great
Britain, all of whose promotional
activities center in a Department Of
Overseas Trade, which is headed by an
undersecretary of the British govern
ment. This agency is subordinate to
both the British foreign oface and the
Board Of Trade, the trade functions
OF which 1t co-ordinates. Directly
responsible to this department are the
consuls-who are ofIicials OF the for
eign ofhce-and the commercial coun-
sellors abroad.
It Is organized in three main
branclies-an empire division, . for
eign division and q trade and eco
nomics division. The first gathers
information from all parts of the
empire through trdae commissioners
The second does the same job through
commercial counsellors and secretaries
Of embassies and legations, who have
as part of their duties supervision
and direction OF the commercial work
Of consular officers. The third is
subdivided into commodity sections
which deal with particular industries
such as aviation, radio, automobiles,
etc.
Similar to this organization is the
Reich Foreign Trade Board. which
correlates the functions of the min
istry of foreign affairs and the minis
try OF economics. This board, together
with the ministry for foreign affairs,
supervises the activities Of the COM
mercial attaches and consuls.
Besides, the Foreign Trade Board
has . number Of it, own correspond.

how the light plays over the figures,

absolutely correct use of the color
