s 9 . 1 STATISTICAL BUREAU TO BE 1 SETUP. j ' (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) i EUGBY, September 21. ' A mcetirtg at Manchester of repre--3 sentatives of practically ; all sections of the cotton trade to-day adopted the proposal • recently mado by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and formally established a Cotton Trade Statistical Bureau. Mr Thompson, president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, who was elected president of the bureau, said sufficient subscriptions had been promised to' cover the first three years' wqrk. Nobody in Lancashire now questioned the fact that the position of the cotton industry had materially changed in the past 25 years. It was faced with competitive industries which were not dreamed of 25 years ago. It was obvious that such a change in oxternal circumstances necessitated internal changes, either of policy or equipment, or both. They must see to it that all individuals had available the best information and most complete and authoritative data necessary to guide their . conclusions. That was where the Statistical Bureau would be beneficial.
