Enlarging upon this, Mr. Lloyd said that the blame for incorrect entries in the declaration forms was often to be traced to slackness on the part of a firm's clerk, who, not being conversant with the Classi- fication List, and being too lazy to refer to it, entered his goods straight from the invoices, so that they remained quite unclassified. Instances of this were known, and, in addition, it often happened that the queries sent back to the firm from the Statistical Office never reached the seniors, but were hand- led by the clerk.
