HS ports of rubber heels and soles are increasing, the former chiefly from the United States and France; the latter chiefly to the United Kingdom. A smaller value of toys and games was ex- ported in 1928 than in 1927 and went chiefly to France and the Netherlands ; imports from France and the United Kingdom are increasing. Surgical rubber exports go chiefly to the Belgian Congo and India; imports come chiefly from Germany and France. Imports of miscellaneous rubber manufactures come chiefly from Germany and France and, to a much less degree, from the United States and Great Britain; exports in 1928 amounted to 548 tons against 258 tons in 1927, Great Britain taking 211 tons and the Netherlands 175 tons. Exports of sheets, plates, rods, &c. and thread, which are semi- manufactured goods used in further manufacture, are increasing. Ebonite goods, chiefly imported from Germany and France, were 61 tons in 1927 and 88 tons in 1928 ; other sheet, &c. imported were 227 tons in 1927 and 270 tons in 1928, 48 tons in the former year and 65 tons in the latter coming from Great Britain. Exports were less in 1928 than in 1927 and went to Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy. Exports of thread are trivial but imports are considerable. being in 1928 valued at £41.000. C.—CENERAIL CONSIDERATIONS. XXV.—NEED FOR MORE UNIFORM STATISTICS. 116. At this point we should like to call attention once more to the need for more uniform statistics. The foregoing paragraphs of this survey afford numerous instances in which comparisons of the trade of different countries in rubber manufactures have been rendered either impossible or have been put forward with several qualifications owing to differences in the methods of collecting and arranging the statistics of different countries. Certain changes were made in 1927 in the trade returns of the United Kingdom which should be of great assistance to the industry but generally little progress has been made in establishing a common nomencla- ture and classification for rubber goods in the trade statistics of various countries. Greater uniformity and clarity would be of much assistance to the trade and would greatly facilitate the study of the developments of this expanding industry. We believe that this subject of greater uniformity in economic statistics ought to be dealt with internationally and we hope that it will be dealt with by the Committee on Customs Nomenclature now sitting under the auspices of the League of Nations; but whether international agreement can be arranged or not we are of opinion that greater aniformity in the statistics of Empire countries is a necessary prece-
