§ 52. Major NATHANasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the number of firms on the special register service on the 1st June, 1929, and the 21st July, 1930, respectively, and the number at the latest convenient date?
§ Mr. GILLETTThe numbers are as follow:
| June 1st, 1929 | … | … | 2,564 |
| July 21st, 1930 | … | … | 2,566 |
| October 29th, 1930 | … | … | 2,556 |
§ Major NATHANSince the matter was raised in this House last Session have any steps been taken to increase the number of firms?
§ Mr. GILLETTWe have considered the matter, and we consider that it is due to the fact that the work of the Department is not sufficiently known. I am trying to see what can be done by advertising to make it better known.
