Asks Views of Business on Census Distribution Secretary of Commerce Hoover Requests Views of Representatives of Industries on the Advisability of Such a Census Washington, D. C, April 7. — Representatives of the various industries will shortly be asked by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to state their views regarding the advisability of taking a census of distribution, recommended at a meeting held in January under the auspices of the United States Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of discussing distribution problems and costs. The proposed census would include a survey of stocks of various commodities held by retailers and jobbers. The result of such an investigation would be to show the flow of goods from manufacturer to consumer, and would supplement the census of production which is now being taken in many commodities by the Census Bureau. Secretary Hoover will appoint a committee to investigate the feasibility of carrying on an investigation of the type proposed.
