The Tuotais of Police and Indust. ries are in charge of the matter, and they have issued invitations to the public to be present, and suggestions will be welcomed.

The difference against the islands, $39,778,629, showing a foreign trade" worth $10.040,039, is really not so great as at first appears, for the reason that the value of all articles imported free of duty by the Army, and for the government-aided railways under Nary, and Government of the Philippine Lelande, Acts Nos, 1510 and 1566, which wore excluded from the figuros for former years, are included for the fiscal year 1911.

The Committee on employment of ex-soldiers and sailors strongly recommended their ofalmas, and stated that if there is not power under the existing law to carry out this recommendation.. early steps should be taken to obtain legislativo authority to remedy this legitimate grievance.
Since the Committee reported, the Army Council have issued orders that the number of soldiers allowed to re-sugage for passion was to bo reduced to about 10 per cent. This farishes an additional reason for allowing mos who are employed in the Civil Service to count their time while serving with the Colours for pension in the Civil Servico.

This condition is, however, more apparent real owing to the fast that large stooks of goods were imported during the fiscal year 1911 and are now in stock awaiting purchasers, which will tend 'undoubtedly to reduce importations | Police det, 1890. during the coming scnl year. Exportations have also been somewhat curtailed by reason of the fact that during the fiscal year 1910 large stacks of Philippines products which has boon held awaiting the passage of the free trade provisions of the tariff bill, were rushed to the "nited States market, a goodly portion of which remained unsold at the close of that fiscal year, thus toading to reduce the demand during 1911.
