New Publication Gives Economic Progress of World
From American Viewpoint.
The Department of Commerce has announced the
publication of the second annual issue of the Com-
merce Yearbook. The Yearbook has been prepared
in response to the demand of American business
men, bankers, economists, and the trade press for an
authoritative annual reference work upon economic
progress throughout the world from the point of
view of American industry and commerce. It re-
views the broad economic currents developed during
the year, and at the same time it aims at the sys-
tematic consolidation of statistics as to production,
distribution, prices, and markets for American com-
modities over long terms of years.
Statistics of this kind have in the past found their
way into many different publications, but they have
never before been systematically consolidated for
ready reference. The Commerce Yearbook thus
serves as a companion volume to the Statistical Ab-
stract, published by the Department of Commerce.
In addition to the compilation of information with
respect to American industries, the book contains a
summary of the fundamental economic data in all of
the important foreign countries where American prod-
ucts find their market.
"The Commerce Yearbook is published to meet the
need not merely for a reference source to be con-
sulted for specific facts on the recent past of business
but for a book which can be read for general com-
mercial information and as a survey of the most im-
portant economic developments of the year," says
Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, in a foreword. "It is
thought that the facts contained in this issue and its
successors will be of assistance in laying out long-
